Q. In ________ congestion control, policies are applied to prevent congestion before it happens.

View solution

Q. In _______ congestion control, mechanisms are used to alleviate congestion after it happens.

View solution

Q. The technique of ________refers to a congestion control mechanism in which a congested node stops receiving data from the immediate upstream node or nodes.

View solution

Q. A ___________ is a packet sent by a node to the source to inform it of congestion.

View solution

Q. In __________, there is no communication between the congested node or nodes and the source. The source guesses that there is a congestion somewhere in the network from other symptoms.

View solution

Q. In the __________ method, the signal is included in the packets that carry data.

View solution

Q. In the ________ algorithm of TCP, the size of the congestion window increases exponentially until it reaches a threshold.

View solution

Q. In the _________ algorithm of TCP, the size of the congestion window increases additively until congestion is detected.

View solution

Q. In the ___________ algorithm of TCP, the size of the threshold is dropped to one-half, a multiplicative decrease.
