For the TCP timer management, for each connection TCP maintains RTT, the best estimate of
current round trip time to the destination is to be determined. When a segment is sent, timer is
started, both to see how long the acknowledgment takes and to trigger retransmission if it takes
too long. If the value of RTT of TCP is 10 ms and ACK comes after 20 ms then the new
estimated value of RTT is __________ (in ms) (Assume ‘ a ’ is the smoothing factor with value
of 1/2).
Can someone let me know where to read about this(or video tutorial) TCP timer managment? I seem to have missed this topic totally during my preparation.Also please explain the question in detail.Thanks in advance.
