Exercise 2 - Part 1

Suppose a machine A, whose TCP entity is about to establish a connection with the TCP entity of another machine B. Both entities, A and B, manage reception windows of 500 and 400 octets respectively, and maximum segment sizes to send (MSS) of 100 and 128 octets also respectively. Consider that each segment's transmission takes place at the start of a 'tick' on the clock, that the transmission time is negligible, and that each segment suffers in the network a constant delay of one 'tick' until it reaches the opposite entity. Furthermore, if two segments are to be sent simultaneously, they are sent consecutively. In this exercise, it is assumed that congestion control is disabled.
