### TCP Congestion Control and Window Management

1. **TCP Basic Congestion Control Algorithm**
   - The TCP protocol uses slow start and congestion avoidance to manage network congestion. Consider a fixed packet dropping probability \( p \).

   **Tasks:**
   a. Calculate the mean time until another packet drop given the window size \( W \) when a packet drop occurs.
   b. Calculate the mean number of bytes transmitted given that each packet contains \( B \) bytes during the above interval.

2. **Impact of Window Reduction on Congestion Recovery**
   - With a single TCP session, assume a router becomes saturated when the input equals output rate with a window size of \( W \) and a round-trip time of \( R \). If the buffer is \( B \), and becomes empty when saturation occurs, address:

   **Questions:**
   a. Determine the number of round-trip times for a packet to be dropped and the TCP window size then.
   b. Estimate the time until the router becomes unsaturated with a linear window size reduction by \( A \) packets.
   c. Using a geometric window reduction strategy where the window is reduced by \( B \times W \) (with \( \beta \) as a constant), recalculate the above.
   d. Compare and decide the preferred strategy for congestion recovery, providing numerical examples if necessary.

3. **Comparative Analysis of SCTP and MPTCP Protocols**
   - Compare SCTP and MPTCP protocols regarding their capabilities and implementations. Conclude which protocol is superior through a comparative list or table.

4. **IPv6 Fragmentation and Network Overhead**
   - IPv6 doesn't implement fragmentation inside the network, unlike IPv4. Fragmentation overhead affects bandwidth consumption. For a header size \( H \), and a packet that traverses \( N \) networks:
   - Evaluate the total overhead bits under both IPv4 and IPv6 when the initial packet size equals \( \text{MTU}_1 \).

This content is designed to facilitate understanding of TCP congestion management strategies and networking protocols, providing insights into effects on data transmission and network efficiency under different strategies.
