b. can be accepted or have been received and acked but not yet consumed
c. have already been received, acknowledged, and consumed
d. can be sent
12. Why does TCP measure the round trip time?
a. It is used to adjust the size of the receiver sliding window
b. It is used to adjust the time-out period
c. It is used to adjust the size of the sender sliding window

b. The receiver's application is consuming data slower than the data is arriving
c. It detects network congestion
d. The checksum in the TCP header is incorrect
14. What is Karn's algorithm?
a. It chooses whether to use TCP or UDP for a transmission
b. It increases the size of the congestion window exponentially after each acknowledgement
c. It doubles the time-out period if a segment times-out
d. It cuts the size of the sender sliding window in half if a segment times-out
15. What is a disadvantage if the TCP timeout is too long?
a. The sender will do nothing while waiting for the timer to time-out
b. The receiver window size will get too big
c. The sender will unnecessarily time out and resend data
d. The TCP connection will be closed too early
