Consider sending a large file from a host to another over a TCP connection (using TCP Reno protocol). The initial threshold for TCP congestion control in the first RTT round is 8 (in terms of MSS (maximum segment size)). Answer the following questions with justifications. 1) If no transmission loss occurs, in which RTT round does the congestion window size increase from 1 MSS to 18 MSS? (3 marks) 2) If no transmission loss occurs, what is the average throughput (in terms of MSS) up to the 12th RTT round? (3 marks) 3) If the sender encounters a timeout at the 16th round, what is the congestion window size and threshold in the 20th round (in terms of MSS)? (4 marks)
