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.
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.
