Consider a TCP connection using the multiplicative additive congestion control algorithm where the window size is 1 MSS and the threshold is 32 MSS. At the $8^{th}$ transmission timeout occurs and enters in the congestion detection phase. The value of the window size (in MSS) at the end of $12^{th}$ transmission is ______.

Ans given 8 but I got 16.

Though there are numerous questions of this sort being posted here on GO. But since my answer didn’t match with them, I wanted to clarify.

It says at the end of $12^{th}$ transmission. So we have to take the window size after the 12 RTTs right and not at 12th RTT?
