Suppose that TCP congestion window is set to 28KB and time-out occurs.The window size after the next six successful transmission bursts (Assume maximum segment size is 2KB and TCP uses congestion avoidance) is _______(in KB)

If congestion is detected by time out error:

  1. Set threshold value to half of the current window size where congestion is detected. New threshold = 18/2 =14 KB
  2. start the slow-start phase. Hence new window size = 2 KB

next 6 bursts will be ==>> 2KB | 4KB | 8KB | (now threshold reaches so Additive increase starts) 10 KB  | 12 KB | 14 KB 

Answer will be 14 KB

Self doubt- TCP congestion control
When during TCP congestion control, timeout occurs in 5th transition, then shall those packets be considered as received or shall be resent? Asking for if question asks for number of transmission to send given number of packets using TCP congestion slow start phase.

Made Easy Subject Test 2019: Computer Networks - Congestion Control
I thought 2600 cause after 34, it takes one RTT and size becomes 36 before sending the 14th segment(i.e., segment with window size = 36KB). Questions based on this are confusing. Please clarify.
