6 Slow-Start Congestion window (cwnd) Source window Maximum number of "unacked" bytes Initial cwnd = 1 MSS (maximum segment size) Data rate = 1 MSS / RTT Sender Receiver RTT ACK 1 MSS ACK 2 MSS Exponential growth On each ACK cwnd cwnd + size of data ACKed if (cwnd > maximum cwnd = destination window) cwnd max cwnd if (ACK timeout) Segment size threshold (ssthresh) last cwnd cwnd initial cwnd = 1 MSS Timeout ACK 3 MSS Seminar in Computer Networks and Distributed Systems Hadassah College Spring 2017 TCP over Wireless Networks Dr. Martin Land 6

7 RTT and Buffer Errors Round Trip Time RTT = data transmit time + send buffer times + ACK transmit time + ACK buffer times Buffer time ~ typical service time buffer level RTT = random variable (rise / fall sharply) RTT Sender SEQ ACK Receiver Buffer time in TCP Timeout Buffer level RTT > RTO (retransmit timeout) Packet considered lost Out-of-order packet Buffer level RTT(packet k) > RTT(packet k+1) Receiver will send cumulative ACK if OOO packet not lost Seminar in Computer Networks and Distributed Systems Hadassah College Spring 2017 TCP over Wireless Networks Dr. Martin Land 7

8 RTT and Congestion Buffer error condition Sender Receiver Buffer level RTT > RTO for time T error Isolated error T error < time between packets Buffer empties before next packet No need to lower transmission rate RTT SEQ ACK Congestion T error > time between packets Multiple buffer errors Lower transmission rate to prevent buffer errors Seminar in Computer Networks and Distributed Systems Hadassah College Spring 2017 TCP over Wireless Networks Dr. Martin Land 8
