In TCP, MSS is 8B. If during the 6th RTT the network is congested and timeout occurs, by using the congestion algorithm, then the threshold value is _________(in Bytes). (assume initial congestion window size for the first transmission is 1 MSS)

1st transmission:   1 MSS
2nd transmission:  2 MSS

3rd transmission:   4 MSS
4th transmission:   8 MSS

5th transmission:  16 MSS

6th transmission:  32 MSS [ Window th = 32 / 2 =  16 MSS]

16 MSS = 16 * 8 = 128  B

1MSS----(RTT)-->2MSS—(RTT)---->4MSS----(RTT)-->8MSS---(RTT)--->16MSS----(RTT)-->32MSS------>Timeout

Final CWND  = 32

Threshold value = 32/2 = 16 MSS = 16*8 bytes = 128 Bytes

True or false? Consider congestion control in TCP. When the timer expires at the sender, the value of ssthresh is set to one half of its previous value.
