The technique of temporarily delaying outgoing acknowledgements so that they can be hooked onto the next outgoing data frame is known as

  • A.Bit stuffing
  • B.Piggy backing
  • C.Pipelining
  • D.Broadcasting

Answer: B

Delaying an outgoing acknowledgement so that it travels on the next outgoing data frame is called piggybacking. It saves a separate frame and so makes better use of the channel, which is the point of the technique in data link and transport protocols. Bit stuffing inserts extra bits to keep a flag pattern out of the data, pipelining sends several frames before waiting for acknowledgement, and broadcasting sends a frame to all stations, so none of these describes attaching the acknowledgement to a data frame. The keyed answer is piggy backing.
