Packet 2: Tossup 7

This system’s behavior can be predicted with Karn’s algorithm. “Silly window syndrome” may be caused (15[1])by poor implementations of this system’s (-5[1])sliding window technique (15[1])for flow control. Characteristic “sawtooth” behavior occurs in this system due to its use of the AMID algorithm (-5[1])when managing one quantity. “Slow start” and “fast retransmit” (15[1])are techniques (15[1])used by this (15[1])system’s Tahoe and Reno algorithms for (*) congestion control. (10[1])A 32-bit (10[1])sequence number field (-5[1])is included (10[1])in this protocol’s (-5[1])header. (10[2]-5[2])Information loss in this protocol (-5[1])is flagged through the duplication of ACK messages. (10[2]-5[1])This protocol (-5[1])opens a connection (10[1])with a three-way (10[1])handshake (10[6])that ensures (10[2])reliability, (10[2])unlike a lightweight counterpart. (-5[1])For 10 points, UDP (10[1])is contrasted (10[2])with (10[1])what network transport protocol often paired with IP? (10[2])■END■ (10[6]0[7])
