Assume a 15Mbps link between two hosts x and y. A TCP Reno connection is used for communication between these two hosts. Further, assume that this link is the only congested link between x and y. Now suppose that x wants to send a huge file to y, and the y’s receive buffer is much larger than the congestion window. Consider that each TCP segment size is 1,200 bytes and RTT = 160 msec; and, this TCP connection is always in congestion avoidance phase (ignore slow start). a) What is the maximum window size (in segment) that this TCP connection can achieve?
b) What is the average window size (in segment) and average throughput (in bps) of this TCP connection?
c) How long would it take for this TCP connection to reach its maximum window again after recovering from a packet loss?
