In TCP Vegas, the calculation of Actual Rate is done by dividing the amount of data transmitted in one RTT interval by the length of the RTT. (a) Show that for any TCP, if the window size remains constant, then the amount of data transmitted in one RTT interval is constant once a full window-full is sent. Assume that the sender transmits each segment instantly upon receiving an ACK, packets are not lost and are delivered in order, segments are all the same size, and the first link along the path is not the slowest. (b) Give a timeline sketch showing that the amount of data per RIT above can be less than Congestion Window.

In TCP Fast Retransmit, if we receive three duplicate ACKS after sending out a packet that is not incrementally ACK-ed but before the time-out associated with that packet, we immediately retransmit the packet without waiting for the timeout to occur. Why do we wait for three duplicates instead of just one?
Assume that a bottleneck connection with a rate of R bps carries two TCP connections. In both cases, there is a big file that must be downloaded (in the same direction over the bottleneck link). The files are all transmitted at the same time How much data will TCP be able to transmit each connection?
Consider the following plot below of TCP window size as a function of time. Assuming TCP Reno is the protocol experiencing the behaviour shown above, answer the following questions. In all cases, you should provide a short discussion justifying your answer. d. After the 22nd transmission round, is segment loss detected by a triple duplicate ACK or by a timeout?e. What is the initial value of Threshold at the first transmission round?f. What is the value of threshold at the 18th transmission round?g. What is the value of threshold at the 24th transmission round?h. During what transmission round is the 70th segment sent?i. Assuming a packet lost is detected after the 26th round by the receipt of a triple duplicate ACK, what will be the values of the congestion-window size and of Threshold?
Why does the maximum packet lifetime have to be large enough to ensure that not only the packet but also its acknowledgments have disappeared? Give one potential disadvantage when Nagle's algorithm is used on a badly congested network. Give two examples of cases where TCP sends data-less packets on an established connection (which is not being torn down).
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.
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.
In a connection establishment using three-way handshaking, the value of the sequence number of the first TCP data packet sent from client A to server B is 100. For a packet sent back from server B to client A, the sequence number is 200 and the rwnd is 400. For the ACK packet sent from client A to server B, what is the sequence number for a packet?
Consider one TCP connection on a path with a bottleneck link with capacity L. We have a file of size F(assume F is a very large file size). If TCP segment size is B bytes, the two-way propagation delay is tp and connection is always in congestion avoidance phase, find the following: A. Maximum window size that TCP can achieve B. Average window size and average throughput in this TCP connection C. Time it will take from connection establishment to reaching the maximum window size.
Consider the following plot below of TCP window size as a function of time. Assuming TCP Reno is the protocol experiencing the behaviour shown above, answer the following questions. In all cases, you should provide a short discussion justifying your answer.a. Identify the intervals of time when TCP slow start is operating.b. Identify the intervals of time when TCP congestion avoidance is operating.c. After the 16th transmission round, is segment loss detected by a triple duplicate ACK or by a timeout?d. After the 22nd transmission round, is segment loss detected by a triple duplicate ACK or by a timeout?e. What is the initial value of Threshold at the first transmission round?f.

Find the transmission rate for each transmission for given scenario: The two TCP connections are in same bottleneck link and it has huge file to send. The transmission starts at same time and same direction.
Two TCP entities communicate across a reliable network. Let the normalized time to transmit a fixed length segment equal 1. Assume that the end-to-end propagation delay is 3 and that it takes 2 to deliver data from a received segment to the transport user. The sender initially grants a credit of 7 segments. The receiver uses a conservative flow control policy and updates its credit allocation at every opportunity. What is the maximum achievable throughput?
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.
