Question:
Consider 2 hosts, Host A and Host B, transmitting a large file to a Server C over a bottleneck link with a rate of R kbps.
To transfer the file, the hosts use TCP with the same parameters (including MSS and RTT) and start their transmission at the same time.
Hos A uses a single TCP connection for the entire file, while Host B uses 9 simultaneous TCP connections, each for a portion (i.e. a chunk) of the file.
Describe the relative transmission rates achieved by each host at the beginning of the file transfer?
Hint: This question involves the Congestion Control section at the end of the second lecture.
