Consider the effect of using slow start on a line with 12 msec round trip time. The size of the congestion window is set to 40 KB. The sender side threshold is set to 20 KB. After 7th transmission a time-out occurs, after timeout the time taken to send the first full window of 20 KB is (in msec). ? [ Assume window size at the start of the slow start phase is 2 KB, MSS=2KB]

First transmission: 2KB


Second Transmission:  4KB


Third transmission: 8KB


Fourth transmission: 16 KB


Fifth transmission: 20 KB [ Threshold reached]


Sixth transmission: 22 KB


Seventh transmission: 24 KB [ Timeout occurs, new th = 24 / 2 = 12 KB]


Eighth transmission: 2 KB


Ninth transmission: 4 KB


Tenth transmission: 8 KB


Eleventh Transmission: 12 KB [ Th reached]


Twelfth transmission: 14 KB


Thirteenth transmission: 16


Fourteenth transmission: 18 KB


Fifteen transmission: 20 KB


So 8RTT after timeout.


=> 8 x 12 = 96  msec

In the TCP connection, the maximum segment size used by the connection is 1000 bytes. What is the congestion window(in bytes) after the 4th transmission and receives acks for all of them? Assume the connection uses only slow-start ?

Suppose TCP uses AIMD for its congestion control without slow start. Assuming cwnd increases by 2 MSS every time a batch of ACKs is received and assuming approximately constant round-trip times, how long in round trip time does it take for cwnd to increase from 4 MSS to 12 MSS (assuming no loss events)?

Consider the size of the congestion window of a TCP connection be 40 KB when a timeout occurs. The round trip time of the connection is 50 msec and the maximum segment size used is 2 KB. How much time it will be required(in milli sec) to reach the congestion window of 30 KB?
