Assume that TCP implements an extension that allows window sizes much larger than 64 KB. Suppose that you are using this extended TCP over a 1- Gbps link with a latency of 50 ms to transfer a 10-MB file, and the TCP receive window is 1 MB. If TCP sends 1-KB packets (assuming no congestion and no lost packets): (a) How many RTTS does it take until slow start opens the send window to 1 MB? (b) How many RTTS does it take to send the file? (c) If the time to send the file is given by the number of required RTTS multiplied by the link latency, what is the effective throughput for the transfer? What percentage of the link bandwidth is utilized?

You would like to send a 2100-byte chunk of data uslng TCP from Computer A to Computer B. TCP segments are carrled In IP datagrams with a 20-byte header. IP datagrams are carrled In a data link frame with a 10-byte header. The maxlmum segment slze for TCP Is 800 bytes. The physlcal layer protocol can support a data rate of 1 Mbps. Assume a total round-trip time of 10 ms between the sender and the recelver. How many frames will need to be sent from Computer A to Computer B? What Is the size of each TCP segment? Show your work
Compare GBN, SR, and TCP (no delayed ACK). Assume that the timeout values for all three protocols are sufficiently long such that 5 consecutive data segments and their corresponding ACKs can be received (if not lost in the channel) by the receiving host (Host B) and the sending host (Host A) respectively. Suppose Host A sends 5 data segments to Host B, and the 3rd segment (sent from A) is lost. In the end, all 5 data segments have been correctly received by Host B. How many segments has Host A sent in total and how many ACKs has Host B sent in total? What are their sequence numbers? Answer this question for all three protocols. The previous expert did the wrong question and the answer was incorrect. The 3rd packet is lost not the 2nd packet
Below are the two questions, so make sure to answer each part carefully and label the response for each question: 1) Why does TCP implement congestion control if it already has flow control to manage the sender's window? 2) 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?
Suppose the sequence number field on a TCP packet is 46005. The packet carries 102 bytes of (application-layer) data. The TCP header size on this packet is 20 bytes. (a) What is the sequence number of the last application byte contained in the packet above? (b) What is the value of the acknowledgment number field on the ACK that the receiver generates for the packet above? (c) Do you have sufficient information in this question to determine the value of the sequence number field of the ACK packet that the receiver generates for the packet above? If so, what is the sequence number? If not, why not? (d) If the size of the TCP header were larger (e.g., 24 bytes, due to additional TCP options), would your answers to parts (a)–(c) change? Why or why not?
Consider a client has established TCP connection with a server and sending data. The propagation delay is 5 ms and there are no timeouts and errors during transmission. The size of the receiver advertised window is 128 KB, the slow-start threshold at the client is 64 KB, and the maximum segment size is 4 KB. The connection is established at time T = 10 ms. What is the size of the congestion window (in KB) at time 90 ms after all acknowledgements are processed?

1. What is the difference between packet fragmentation (i.e., at network layer) and frame frag- mentation (i.e., at link layer) in terms of purpose? 2. Suppose that host A is connected to a router R1, R1 is connected to another router, R2, and R2 is connected to host B. Suppose that a TCP message that contains 800 bytes of data and 20 bytes of TCP header is passed to the IP function at host A for delivery to B. Show the Total length, DF, MF, and Fragment offset fields of the IP header in each packet transmitted over the three links. (Assume that link A-R1 can support a maximum frame size of 1024 bytes including a 14-byte frame header, link R1-R2 can support a maximum frame size of 512 bytes, including an 8-byte frame header, and link R2-B can support a maximum frame size of 432 bytes including a 12-byte frame header.) (*hint: the Fragment offset field is denominated by 8-bytes, not bytes) 3. What is the purpose of the path MTU discovery process (see textbook Figure 5-42) and why does…
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.
A workstation uses the HTTP protocol to download a large file from a web server. No proxy server is used. One router's queue is full when one of the web server's packets arrives.Select the four best statements to describe this situationa. The router stores the packet until such time that it can be sent.b. Further packets sent by the server are transmitted at a higher rate to compensate for the lost packet.c. The router sends an ICMP link congested message to the server.d. The packet must be retransmitted.e. Router configuration and network behavior could be improved by configuring FQ or WFQ.f. Further packets sent by the server are transmitted at a lower rate to reduce the load on the congested link.g. Router configuration and network behavior could be improved by configuring RED or WRED.h. A tail drop will happen.
Consider a long-lived TCP session with an end- to-end bandwidth of 1 Gbps (= 10⁹ bits-per- second). The session starts with a sequence number of 1234. The minimum time (in seconds, rounded to the closest integer) before this sequence number can be used again is
Host A sends the information of size 3000 bytes to Host B using TCP protocol. As long as Host B receives each packet in size 1000 bytes, Host B must acknowledge Host A. We assume the header size in each packet is 40 bytes, the starting sequence number used by Host A is 1000, and the window size of the sender side is 3000 bytes. What is the value of RCV.NXT in Host B when the second packet in Host A is sent out and acknowledged? Question options: 1000 2000 3000 4000
Suppose Host A sends two consecutive TCP segments to Host B over a TCP connection. The sequence number of the first segment is 748, and the sequence number of the second one is 995. Determine the size of the payload carried by the first segment. Suppose that the first segment is lost but the second segment arrives at host B. What will be the acknowledgment number of the acknowledgment segment that Host B sends to Host A?
