Round 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 sliding window technique 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” are techniques used by this system’s Tahoe and Reno algorithms for (*) congestion control. (10[1])A 32-bit sequence number field is included in this protocol’s header. Information loss in this protocol is flagged through the duplication of ACK messages. This protocol opens a connection with a three-way handshake (10[1])that ensures reliability, unlike a lightweight counterpart. For 10 points, UDP is contrasted with what network transport protocol often paired with IP? ■END■ (10[1])
