Assume that TCP implements an extension that allows window sizes much larger than 64 KB. Suppose that you are using this extended TCP over a 1- Gbps link with a latency of 50 ms to transfer a 10-MB file, and the TCP receive window is 1 MB. If TCP sends 1-KB packets (assuming no congestion and no lost packets): (a) How many RTTS does it take until slow start opens the send window to 1 MB? (b) How many RTTS does it take to send the file? (c) If the time to send the file is given by the number of required RTTS multiplied by the link latency, what is the effective throughput for the transfer?

Suppose an extension of TCP allows window size much larger than 64 KB. Assume the extended TCP runs over a 100-Mbps link with RTT 100 ms, segment size is 1 KB, and receiving window size is 1 MB. How long does it take to send a 200 KB file?
Consider a TCP connection betweek two hosts between A and B. The first data byte sent by A is numbered 1. The LastByteRcvd at B is 500. Then, the range of values SendBase at A may take is from to 500
Host A is sending an enormous file to Host B over a TCP connection. Over this connection there is never any packet loss and the timers never expire. Denote the transmission rate of the link connecting Host A to the Internet by R bps. Suppose that the process in Host A is capable of sending data into its TCP socket at a rate S bps, where S=10•R. Further suppose that the TCP receive buffer is large enough to hold the entire file, and the send buffer can hold only one percent of the file. What would prevent the process in Host A from continuously passing data to its TCP socket at rate S bps? TCP flow control? TCP congestion control? Or something else? Elaborate.
3. Consider a simple application-level protocol built on top of UDP that allows a client to retrieve a file from a remote server residing at a well-known address. The client first sends a request with a file name, and the server responds with a sequence of data packets containing different parts of the requested file. To ensure reliability and sequenced delivery, client and server use a stop-and-wait protocol. Ignoring the obvious performance issue, do you see a problem with this protocol? Think carefully about the possibility of processing crashing. State conclusion: Provide Proof: Solution:
Consider a client connecting to a web server via a router as shown in Fig.Q2. Client A sends a request to the server to retrieve a 7.5 Mbytes file. Given that the segment size is 50 Kbytes, the round trip time (RTT) between the server and client is 10 ms, the initial slow-start threshold is 16 and the client's buffer always has a storage space of 1 Mbytes. Assume that TCP Reno is used, there is no loss during transmission and the headers of protocols are ignored. 400 Mbps 200 Mbps 400 Mbps Link a Link b Link c Client Web Server Fig.Q2 (a) Describe how the value of sending window changes as a function of time (in units of RTT) during the whole connection time. 2.
Through a TCP link Host A transmitting a big file to host B. There is never any packet loss over this link, and timers never expire. R bps denotes the bit rate of the connection connecting Host A to the Internet. Assume that the process running on Host A is capable of transmitting data into its TCP socket at a rate of S bytes per second, where S equals 10 - R. Additionally, suppose the TCP receive buffer is wide enough to contain the whole file and the transmit buffer may only hold 1% of it. What will prohibit the mechanism in Host A from sending data to its TCP socket at a pace of S bps indefinitely? What is TCP flow control? Regulation of TCP congestion? Or is there another possibility? Articulate.
Host A sends the information of size 3000 bytes to Host B using TCP protocol. As long as Host B receives each packet in size 1000 bytes, Host B must acknowledge Host A. We assume the header size in each packet is 40 bytes, the starting sequence number used by Host A is 1000, and the window size of the sender side is 3000 bytes. What is the value of RCV.NXT in Host B when the second packet in Host A is sent out and acknowledged? Question options: 1000 2000 3000 4000
Suppose a TCP connection, with window size 1, loses every other packet. Those that do arrive have RTT: 1 second. What = happens? What happens to TimeOut? Do this for two cases: (a) After a packet is eventually received, we pick up where we left off, resuming with Estimated RTT initialized to its pre-timeout value, and TimeOut double that. (b) After a packet is eventually received, we resume with TimeOut initialized to the last exponentially backed-off value used for the timeout interval. In the following four exercises, the calculations involved are straightforward with a spreadsheet.
Consider one TCP connection on a path with a bottleneck link with capacity L. We have a file of size F(assume F is a very large file size). If TCP segment size is B bytes, the two-way propagation delay is tp and connection is always in congestion avoidance phase, find the following: A. Maximum window size that TCP can achieve B. Average window size and average throughput in this TCP connection C. Time it will take from connection establishment to reaching the maximum window size.
Consider a long-lived TCP session with an end- to-end bandwidth 500 Mb/s. The session starts with a sequence number of 3465. The minimum time (in seconds) before this sequence number can be used again is
TCP a. Consider two TCP connections, one between Hosts A (sender) and B (receiver), and another between Hosts C (sender) and D (receiver). The RTT between A and B is half that of the RTT between C and D. Suppose that the senders' (A's and C's) congestion window sizes are identical. Is their throughput (number of segments transmitted per second) the same? Explain. b. Now suppose that the average RTT between A and B, and C and D are identical. The RTT between A and B is constant (never varies), but the RTT between C and D varies considerably. Will the TCP timer values of the two connections differ, and if so, how are they different, and why are they different? Give one reason why TCP uses a three-way (SYN, SYNACK, ACK) handshake rather than a two-way handshake to initiate a connection. a.
Consider a TCP connection with congestion window size 40 KB, maximum segment size is 2 KB, if time taken by TCP connection to get 37 KB congestion window is 351 ms, round trip time of the connection is __(ms).
