GBN: receiver extended FSM

receiver simple:

• ACK-only: always send ACK for correctly-received pkt with highest in-order seq #

  • may generate duplicate ACKs
  • need only remember expectedseqnum

• out-of-order pkt:

  • discard (don’t buffer) -> no receiver buffering!
  • ACK pkt with highest in-order seq #
