1. Increasing the router memory to infinite cannot control the congestion. Agree or disagree? Elaborate briefly (60-100 words)
Increasing the router memory to infinitive will help control the congestion because if a specific part of the network cannot process the amount of data it is receiving instead of losing the data and having the sender resend the information It would be stored in the routers infinite memory. However using the same example if the specific part of the network continuous to be small and cannot process the amount of data is receiving it could create more congestion because the sender will just keep sending more and more and more data thinking that everything is ok since the router can absorb such data without taking into…show more content… The bit is copied and piggy-backed on the ACK and sent to the sender. The sender monitors the number of ACK packets it receives with the warning bit set and adjusts its transmission rate accordingly.
And Random early detection method starts dropping packets at random once it know that there will be a high possibility of packets being drop. Therefore it makes the decision to drop packets at random to prevent an even worst situation where a high number of packet can be loss.
3. What do you mean by Load Shedding in congestion control?
Basically the router picks the best packets and decides to keep them and throws away the packets that are not so vital. For example it could decide to start dropping old packets to make room for new packets in order for the transmission to have smalls gaps between the packet cue and not big ones which will make it more difficult to make sense out of a piece of data of a huge gap.
4. Transport protocols resemble those you studied in Data Link Layer since both will have to deal with error control, sequencing, flow control etc. Still the two differ significantly. How? elaborate with at least 4
