Suppose, in TCPs adaptive retransmission mechanism, that EstimatedRTT is 4.0 at some point and subsequent measured RTTs

Question:

Suppose, in TCP’s adaptive retransmission mechanism, that EstimatedRTT is 4.0 at some point and subsequent measured RTTs all are 1.0.

How long does it take before the TimeOut value, as calculated by the Jacobson/Karels algorithm, falls below 4.0? Assume a plausible initial value of Deviation; how sensitive is your answer to this choice?

Use δ = 1/8.
