Number of Retransmission in case of Go Back N
GBN is resending ACK's for the discarded packets .

Excerpt from what I can find:

The receiver's actions in GBN are also simple. If a packet with sequence number n is received correctly and is in-order (i.e., the data last delivered to the upper layer came from a packet with sequence number n-1), the receiver sends an ACK for packet n and delivers the data portion of the packet to the upper layer. In all other cases, the receiver discards the packet and resends an ACK for the most recently received in-order packet. Note that since packets are delivered one-at-a-time to the upper layer, if packet k has been received and delivered, then all packets with a sequence number lower than k have also been delivered. Thus, the use of cumulative acknowledgements is a natural choice for GBN.
