Question

When we use slow-start algorithm, the size of the congestion window increases _______ until it reaches a threshold.

• A. Additively
• B. Multiplicatively
• C. Exponentially
• D. None of the options

Answer 1

Explanation: In slow-start algorithm, the size of the congestion window increases exponentially until it reaches a threshold. When it reachesthe threshold, it stops increasing and continues sending packets through thethreshold window thus preventingcongestion. ​​​​​​

Answer 2

Option C) When we use slow-start algorithm, the size of the congestion window increases exponentially until it reaches a threshold.
