Congestion Control
Q
In the slow-start algorithm, the size of the congestion window increases __________ until it reaches a threshold.
AA. Exponentially
BB. Additively
CC. Multiplicatively
DD. Suddenly
Correct Answer:
A. A. Exponentially
Explanation:
In slow-start algorithm, the size of the congestion window increases exponentially until it reaches a threshold. When it reaches the threshold, it stops increasing and continues sending packets through the threshold window thus preventing congestion.
