Assume that a station X wants to send 15 packets of data to station Y using TCP
Question:
- Assume that a station X wants to send 15 packets of data to station Y using TCP Tahoe. Assuming that:
1) The size of each packet sent is 1000 Bytes (ignore all the headers from layers below).
2) Station X chooses 43 as an initial sequence number.
3) Station Y chooses 2 as an initial sequence number.
4) The data of the first packet is included in the final packet of the handshake process.
5) The sender window size is 5 packets.
6) The receiver window size is 4 packets.
7) Only the 4th packet containing data sent is lost, and the sender receives three duplicate
acknowledgments before the timeout.
8) The value of ssthresh (the threshold between slow start and congestion avoidance) is
8 packets.
9) Out of order packets are dropped.
Show the entire connection using a time diagram. Show the sequence number for each packet and acknowledgement in this communication. Identify the phases of the communication (i.e., handshake process, slow start, congestion avoidance, fast recovery, and termination of the connection).
