Question 1

What is the primary function of the Advertised Receive Window?

  • It indicates the sender's congestion window.
  • It indicates how much data the sender can send.
  • It informs about network speed.

💡 Hint: Consider what the receiver communicates to the sender.

Question 2

True or False: The sender can send data if the receiver advertises a Window Size of zero.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Think about the limits imposed on transmission.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Given a TCP communication between a sender and receiver where the receiver's buffer size starts at 500 bytes and decreases as it processes data. If the sender sends 600 bytes at once, but the receive buffer can only handle 400 bytes at a time, what could happen if the sender is not aware of the receiver's available buffer?

💡 Hint: Consider the sequence of events when buffers are full.

Question 2

How would flow control mechanisms differ if the receiver used a zero-window probe for communication versus completely stopping communication?

💡 Hint: Think about the effects of delayed vs paused communication.
