Question: Consider sending a large file from a host to another over a TCP connection that has no loss. Suppose TCP is in Congestion avoidance mode
Consider sending a large file from a host to another over a TCP connection that has no loss. Suppose TCP is in Congestion avoidance mode wherein cwnd increases by 1 MSS every time a BATCH of ACKS is recieved (so if 5 segments are sent out 5 ACKS a received, the MSS goes up by 1 and the next round 6 segments are sent out). Let's say the RTT time is 2 seconds, if we start at an MSS of 4, what's the sending rate in segments/second between when the MSS is 4 to when the MSS is 10 (i.e. the moment the MSS is set to 10 stop counting segments)?
