In the context of TCP Vegas, how does the algorithm estimate network congestion? Question 5 options: By counting the number of dropped packets By comparing actual throughput with expected throughput By timeouts By using triple duplicate ACKs
Added by Alyssa S.
Step 1
TCP Vegas is a congestion control algorithm that aims to improve the performance of TCP by estimating network congestion before it leads to packet loss. Show more…

Suppose cwnd = 30 for a connection with RTTnoLoad = 100 ms and bandwidth 1 packet / 5 ms, and a packet loss occurs. Reno would respond with cwnd = cwnd/2 = 15. What would TCP Westwood set cwnd to? Recall that when TCP Westwood experiences packet loss, it sets cwnd to the larger of cwnd/2 or the current estimated transit capacity packet_rate*RTTnoL.

Two hosts simultaneously send data through the network with a capacity of 1 Mbps. Host A uses UDP and transmits 100-byte packets every 1 ms. Host B generates data with a rate of 600 kbps and uses TCP. Which host will obtain higher throughput and why? Explain your answer.
