Although slow start with congestion avoidance is an effective technique for coping with congestion, it can result in long recovery times in high-speed networks, as this problem demonstrates. A) Assume a round-trip delay of 60 msec (about what might occur across the continent) and a link with an available bandwidth of 1 Gbps and a segment size of 576 octets. Determine the window size needed to keep the pipeline full and the a worst case estimate of the time it will take to reach that window size after a timeout occurs on a new connection using Jacobson’s slow start with congestion avoidance approach.

B) Repeat part (a) for a segment size of 16 kbytes.
