Congestion Control Quiz

What is TCP congestion control?

• A technique for managing crowded public transportation

• A mechanism used to avoid network congestion and ensure efficient data transmission.

• A method for preventing overpopulation in urban areas

• A type of traffic signal used to control congestion on highways

How does TCP congestion control help in managing network congestion?

• By adjusting the transmission rate based on network conditions

• By ignoring network congestion altogether

• By reducing the bandwidth of the network

• By increasing the number of network devices

Why is TCP congestion control important in data transmission?

• To prevent network congestion and ensure efficient data transmission.

• To ignore network congestion and allow data to be lost.

• To make data transmission less efficient and unreliable.

• To increase network congestion and slow down data transmission.

What is UDP congestion control?

• A method used to improve network speed in UDP-based networks

• A method used to encrypt data in UDP-based networks

• A method used to increase congestion in UDP-based networks

• A method used to manage and prevent congestion in UDP-based networks

How does UDP handle congestion in comparison to TCP?

• UDP increases the congestion window to reduce congestion

• UDP uses flow control to handle congestion

• UDP relies on retransmission of lost packets to handle congestion

• UDP does not handle congestion

Why is UDP congestion control less complex than TCP congestion control?

• TCP has more efficient error checking

• UDP does not have built-in congestion control mechanisms.

• UDP is designed for smaller networks only

• UDP has faster data transmission speed

What is the slow start algorithm in congestion control?

• It is an algorithm used to prevent data loss in the network

• It is an algorithm used to prioritize certain types of data in the network

• It is an algorithm used in TCP/IP networks to control the amount of data being sent into the network.

• It is an algorithm used to speed up network traffic

How does the slow start algorithm help in managing network congestion?

• By immediately sending a large amount of data

• By ignoring network congestion altogether

• By reducing the amount of data sent

• By gradually increasing the amount of data sent until it reaches a threshold

Why is the slow start algorithm important for data transmission?

• To increase network speed

• To prevent network congestion

• To reduce data security

• To improve data accuracy

What is the congestion avoidance algorithm in congestion control?

• TCP Tahoe and TCP Reno

• IP Tahoe and IP Reno

• UDP Tahoe and UDP Reno

• FTP Tahoe and FTP Reno
