Question 13 Explain why TPC uses an adaptive timer to determine if a segment needs to be retransmitted. Why a fixed value for such timer would perform poorly? Question 14
Added by Sheila S.

Step 1
The adaptive timer adjusts its value based on the observed round-trip time (RTT) of the segments being sent and received. By continuously monitoring the RTT, TCP can estimate the current network congestion and adjust the retransmission timer accordingly. If the Show more…
