In SWP if first packet is transmitted on link, will it wait for window size to fill completely or start propagating?

In SWP, if windows size of the sender is 5, transmission delay is 15ms and propagation delay is 25ms.

So,if first packet is transmitted on link, will it wait for the windows size to fill completely or it will start propagating?

I think it will start propagating, because its independent of propagation delay?!

Yes, it will start propagating as soon as it is available. SWP means we cannot send more packets than the size of window.

No it will not wait , it will send if  further frames are not generating on Tranmitter side ,

but the maximum size it can sed = window Size

1. For a 1Gbps link, 10 ms prop. delay, 1000-bit packet, compute the utilization for: a. Stop and wait protocol b. Sliding window (window size=10)
