A sender on a TCP connection that receives a 0 advertised window periodically probes the receiver to discover when the window becomes nonzero. Why would the receiver need an extra timer if it were responsible for reporting that its advertised window had become nonzero (i.e., if the sender did not probe)?

In TCP Fast Retransmit, if we receive three duplicate ACKS after sending out a packet that is not incrementally ACK-ed but before the time-out associated with that packet, we immediately retransmit the packet without waiting for the timeout to occur. Why do we wait for three duplicates instead of just one?
An HTTP client opens a TCP connection using an initial sequence number (ISN) of 14,534 and the ephemeral port number of 59,100. The server opens the connection with an ISN of 21,732. Show the three TCP segments during the connection establishment if the client defines the rwnd of 4000 and the server defines the rwnd of 5000. Ignore the calculation of the checksum field.
Is it the case or not? Consider a TCP connection where the most recent SampleRTT was 1 second. The current TimeoutInterval setting for the connection must be larger than one second.
A TCP connection is using a window size of 8,000 bytes and the previousacknowledgment number was 10,001. It receives a segment with acknowledgment number 12,001 and window size advertisement of 7,000 bytes. Draw a diagram to show the situation of the window before and after.
Write TCP client and server that can communicate to each other saying "Hello I am client and My id is 1" and "Hello I am server. Your received id is 1" The ID of the client should be only a single-digit i.e from 0 to 9 Run one client and server on same machine Your server should be in running state infinitely and should not terminate after serving one client only. The clients will keep on coming one by one and server will keep on serving them unless terminated intentionally. Sample Test Bench - Client1 sends: "Hello I am client and My id is 1" - Client2 sends: "Hello I am client and My id is 2" - Server response on client1: "Hello I am server. Your received id is 1" - Server response on client2: "Hello I am server. Your received id is 2"

Assume a TCP sender sends four packets of size 1024 bytes, carrying bytes 0-4095. If the second packet is lost, what is the content of the Acknowledgement field sent in response to the third packet? (If you think that no acknowledgement is sent, for example because the third packet is out of order, then answer -1.)
In a connection establishment using three-way handshaking, the value of the sequence number of the first TCP data packet sent from client A to server B is 100. For a packet sent back from server B to client A, the sequence number is 200 and the rwnd is 400. For the ACK packet sent from client A to server B, what is the sequence number for a packet?
Consider a TCP connection with congestion window size 40 KB, maximum segment size is 2 KB, if time taken by TCP connection to get 37 KB congestion window is 351 ms, round trip time of the connection is __(ms).
To what extent is this true? Suppose a TCP connection's most recent SampleRTT was 1 second. The current TimeoutInterval value for the connection has to be bigger than one second.
Is it the case or not? Consider a TCP connection where the most recent SampleRTT was 1 second. Current TimeoutInterval value for the connection must be larger than one second.
Is this the right answer or the wrong answer? Assume that the most recent SampleRTT for a TCP connection is one second. The TimeoutInterval setting for the connection must now be set to a value that is greater than one second.
