Chapter 3, Problem P33P

Explanation of Solution

Reason for TCP avoids measuring the “SampleRTT” for retransmitted segments:

  • Retransmitted segment is a failed packet which is transmitted another time with same sequence number. The reason for TCP avoids measuring the “SampleRTT” is the acknowledgement of failed packet may be congested in the network possibly due to queuing delays.
  • Consider the following scenario, the source sends the packet “A” at time “t1”. Packet “A” is sent out and an attempt to take a “SampleRTT” is made...
