Q211.
In the slow start phase of the TCP congestion control algorithm, the size of the congestion windowQ212.
Consider a TCP connection in a state where there are no outstanding ACKs. The sender sends two segments back to back. The sequence numbers of the first and second segments are 230 and 290 respectively. The first segment was lost, but the second segment was received correctly by the receiver. Let X be the amount of data carried in the first segment (in bytes), and Y be the ACK number sent by the receiver. The values of X and Y (in that order) areQ214.
Consider the following statements regarding the slow start phase of the TCP congestion control algorithm. Note that cwnd stands for the TCP congestion window and MSS denotes the Maximum Segment Size. (i) The cwnd increases by 2 MSS on every successful acknowledgment. (ii) The cwnd approximately doubles on every successful acknowledgement. (iii) The cwnd increases by 1 MSS every round trip time. (iv) The cwnd approximately doubles every round trip time. Which one of the following is correct?Q217.
Which of the following statements are TRUE? S1: TCP handles both congestion and flow control S2: UDP handles congestion but not flow control S3: Fast retransmit deals with congestion but not flow control S4: Slow start mechanism deals with both congestion and flow controlQ218.
A TCP message consisting of 2100 bytes is passed to IP for delivery across two networks. The first network can carry a maximum payload of 1200 bytes per frame and the second network can carry a maximum payload of 400 bytes per frame, excluding network overhead. Assume that IP overhead per packet is 20 bytes. What is the total IP overhead in the second network for this transmission?Q219.
A layer-4 firewall (a device that can look at all protocol headers up to the transport layer) CANNOTQ220.
What is the maximum size of data that the application layer can pass on to the TCP layer below?
