What does TCP use to detect network congestion?
💡 Hint: Think about what signals TCP interprets to prevent issues.
True or False: Fast Recovery allows TCP to immediately retransmit after detecting a lost packet without resetting the congestion window.
💡 Hint: Consider how Fast Recovery differs from more drastic responses.

Explain how increasing congestion affects TCP's performance. Propose solutions or methodologies that could improve TCP's efficiency during high congestion periods.
💡 Hint: Think about traffic patterns and how TCP's natural mechanisms handle them.
Describe a scenario involving a packet loss during a high-speed transfer using TCP, detailing how TCP would react and manage the data flow afterward.
💡 Hint: Consider how quickly TCP reacts and adjusts the flow.
