Find out the generic format for TCP header options from Request for Comments 793. (a) Outline a strategy that would expand the space available for Options beyond the current limit of 44 bytes. (b) Suggest an extension to TCP allowing the sender of an option a way of specifying what the receiver should do if the option is not understood. List several such receiver actions that might be useful, and try to give an example application of each.

Is this the right answer or the wrong answer? Assume that the most recent SampleRTT for a TCP connection is one second. The TimeoutInterval setting for the connection must now be set to a value that is greater than one second.
Could i please have some assistance with the following questions. a) When using the exponential weighted moving average (EWMA) to calculate the running time of the RTT, what does the constant ‘x’ control? b) Consider a TCP segment. What is sequence number? What is the range of the sequence number? What is the acknowledge number (ACK)?
Can you confirm or deny that this is the case? Assume that the most recent SampleRTT on a TCP connection is 1 second. It's not possible to have a connection with a TimeoutInterval less than one second.
This a TCP question with 5 parts, using the context given in questions 11 and 12 only answer and show work for other three parts (13-15)
Below are the two questions, so make sure to answer each part carefully: Why does TCP implement congestion control if it already has flow control to manage the sender's window? Consider our recent reading [Chiu+89] Analysis of the Increase and Decrease algorithms for congestion avoidance in computer networks. How does this article showcases that TCP is fair?
onsider the TCP procedure for estimating RTT. Suppose that . Let SampleRTT be the most recent sample RTT, let SampleRTT be the next most recent sample RTT, and so on.a. For a given TCP connection, suppose four acknowledgments have been returned with corresponding sample RTTs: SampleRTT , SampleRTT , SampleRTT , and SampleRTT . Express EstimatedRTT in terms of the four sample RTTs.b. Generalize your formula for n sample RTTs.c. For the formula in part (b) let n approach infinity. Comment on why this averaging procedure is called an exponential moving average.
Consider the figure below in which a TCP sender and receiver communicate over a connection in which the sender->receiver segments may be lost. The TCP sender sends an initial window of 5 segments. Suppose the initial value of the sender->receiver sequence number is 362 and the first 5 segments each contain 638 bytes. The delay between the sender and receiver is 7 time units, and so the first segment arrives at the receiver at t=8. As shown in the figure below, 3 of the 5 segment(s) are lost between the segment and receiver.
The following is a dump of UDP header in hexadecimal format 5EFA00FD001C3297 What is the total length of user datagram? Is the packet from client to server or vice versa?
Consider the figure below in which a TCP sender and receiver communicate over a connection in which the segments can be lost. The TCP sender wants to send a total of 10 segments to the receiver and sends an initial window of 5 segments at t = 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5, respectively. Suppose the initial value of the sequence number is 151 and every segment sent to the receiver each contains 612 bytes. The delay between the sender and receiver is 7 time units, and so the first segment arrives at the receiver at t = 8, and an ACK for this segment arrives at t = 15. As shown in the figure, 1 of the 5 segments is lost between the sender and the receiver, but none of the ACKs are lost. Assume there are no timeouts and any out of order segments received are thrown out.
Please help me identify the event and its location in the TCP Reno operation graph shown below. Additionally, please help me explain how we can identify this event based on the changes in the congestion window size. a.) A segment loss event due to a triple duplicate acknowledgment.
