Round 2: Tossup 7

This system’s behavior can be predicted with Karn’s algorithm. “Silly window syndrome” may be caused 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 when managing one quantity. “Slow start” and “fast retransmit” are techniques used by this system’s Tahoe and Reno algorithms for (*) congestion control. 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 (10[1])with a three-way handshake that ensures reliability, unlike a lightweight counterpart. For 10 points, UDP is contrasted with what network transport protocol often paired with IP? ■END■ (0[2])
