Consider a network connecting two systems located 8000 kilometers apart. The bandwidth of the network is 500 × 10^6 bits per second. The propagation speed of the media is 4 × 10^6 meters per second. It is needed to design a Go-Back-N sliding window protocol for this network. The average packet size is 10^7 bits. The network is to be used to its full capacity. Assume that processing delays at nodes are negligible. Then, the minimum size in bits of he sequence number field has to be ________.

1.	Consider a network connecting two systems located 8000 kilometers apart. The bandwidth of the network is 500 × 10^6 bits per second. The propagation speed of the media is 4 × 10^6 meters per second. It is needed to design a Go-Back-N sliding window protocol for this network. The average packet size is 10^7 bits. The network is to be used to its full capacity. Assume that processing delays at nodes are negligible. Then, the minimum size in bits of he sequence number field has to be ________.
A.	2
B.	4
C.	8
D.	16
Answer» D. 16
