The filed “window size” in TCP header is in length of 16 bit. It allows 64KB as the maximal size for a TCP segment by default. Under some circumstances, the sending rate is pretty high and it results in a very short sending time (<2ms). But the end to end transmission delay is 50ms. Therefore the idle rate of a channel will be more than 2/3 . How does TCP solve this problem?

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.
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.
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?
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?
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.
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?
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?
Explain the flow control of TCP protocol when the size of the sliding window will be 500 and the first client sends 201, 301, 402, 455, 330, and once acknowledgments will receive client will send 602. Make a flow control of these packets
Host A and B are communicating over a TCP connection, and Host B has already received from A all bytes up through byte 126. Suppose Host A then sends two segments to Host B back-to-back. The first and second segments contain 80 and 40 bytes of data, respectively. In the first segment, the sequence number is 127, the source port number is 302, and the destination port number is 80. Host B sends an acknowledgment whenever it receives a segment from Host A. Suppose the two segments sent by A arrive in order at B. The first acknowledgment is lost and the second acknowledgment arrives after the first timeout interval. Draw a timing diagram, showing these segments and all other segments and acknowledgments sent. (Assume there is no additional packet loss.) For each segment in your figure, provide the sequence number and the number of bytes of data; for each acknowledgment that you add, provide the acknowledgment number.
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.
Does this hold true or does it not? Let's say that the SampleRTT from the most recent TCP connection was one second. The current TimeoutInterval number for the link must be greater than one second.
