Question 1

What does flow control in TCP aim to prevent?

  • Overloading the network
  • Overwhelming the receiver
  • Packet loss

πŸ’‘ Hint: Focus on the direction of data flow between sender and receiver.

Question 2

Congestion control operates at which level?

  • End-to-end
  • Network-wide
  • Application layer

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about how congestion affects multiple transmissions.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Design a scenario where a fast sender overwhelms a slow receiver and describe the consequences of inadequate flow control.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about what happens when the buffer gets filled without any control.

Question 2

Explain how a combination of flow control and congestion control can work together to optimize TCP performance.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider testing mechanisms that help each other.
