1. If the two hosts are using TCP Reno, what is the maximum allowable loss rate on the link in order to reach the full capacity of the link? 2. Suppose the loss rate on the link is 0.0001% -- that is, one packet in every million is dropped. What is the expected average throughput at steady state for this link? 3. Will TCP Cubic perform better or worse than TCP Reno in this environment (assuming a 0.0001% loss rate)? Why or why not?
Suppose two hosts are transferring a large file over a 1Gbps link and a one-way propagation delay of 250ms. Assume the hosts are using IPv4 and TCP headers with no options, and are connected over a network with a link layer maximum transmission unit of 1500 bytes.
