This document discusses and compares different automatic repeat request (ARQ) protocols: Stop-and-Wait ARQ, Go Back N ARQ, and Selective Repeat ARQ. It provides details on how each protocol works, including window sizes, acknowledgments, retransmissions, bandwidth usage, and implementation complexity. Go Back N ARQ is identified as more commonly used than the other two due to its moderate performance and complexity. While Selective Repeat ARQ has the best performance, it is the most complex to implement.
