PLEASE ANSWER ALL PARTS A-F
Figures 1 and 2 show TCP traces that implement congestion control but not congestion avoidance. Consider the TCP trace in Figure 1. (a) Identify time interval(s) representing slow start: (b) Identify time interval(s) representing linear-increase: (c) Identify time interval(s) representing multiplicative-decrease: (d) Explain what is going on from to . (c) The TCP version that generated the trace in Figure lincludes a feature absent from the TCP that generated Figure 2 . What is this feature? (f) Both traces lack a feature. What is it?
Expert Answer
Slow start is an algorithm used by TCP to determine the amount of data that can be safely sent over a network without causing congestion. It starts with a small congestion window size and increases it exponentially until the network becomes congested. This process is repeated until the optimal congestion window size is found.Slow start is the initial period when the sender is probing the network for available bandwidth. In Figure 1, the time interval representing slow start is from T = 0 to T = 0.2 seconds.
