An ARP query is sent in a broadcast frame because the querying host does not know

which adapter address corresponds to the IP address in question. For the response, the

sending node knows the adapter address to which the response should be sent, so

there is no need to send a broadcast frame (which would have to be processed by all

the other nodes on the LAN).

How will a broadcast frame that is sent by a host PC be handled on the net?

The broadcast will be received by all devices in the same network, but will not be forwarded outside the network (routers do not forward broadcast messages). So for the Internet, for example, you do not see broadcast packets.

Limited Broadcast - Sent to all NICs on the some network segment as the source NIC. It is represented with the 255.255.255.255 TCP/IP address. This broadcast is not forwarded by routers so will only appear on one network segment.Direct broadcast - Sent to all hosts on a network. Routers may be configured to forward directed broadcasts on large networks. For network 192.168.0.0, the broadcast is 192.168.255.255.

What is the function of an ACK in Stop-and-wait error control?

In Stop-and-Wait error control, an ACK (Acknowledgment) is sent by the receiver to confirm successful receipt of a data frame. It serves as a signal for the sender to proceed with sending the next frame. If the sender does not receive an ACK within a specified time frame, it assumes the frame was lost or corrupted and retransmits it.
