Consider a new TCP connection between a sender and a receiver. The receiver
advertised window is constant at 48 KB, the maximum segment size (MSS) is
2 KB, and the slow start threshold for TCP congestion control is 16 KB. Assume
that there are no timeouts or duplicate acknowledgements. The number of rounds
of transmission required for the congestion control algorithm of the TCP connection
to reach the congestion avoidance phase is ___________. (answer in integer)
Note: \(1\mathrm{K}=2^{10}\)

A TCP sender successfully establishes a connection with a TCP receiver and starts
the transmission of segments. The TCP congestion control mechanism’s slow-start
threshold is set to 10000 segments. Assume that the round-trip time is fixed at
1 millisecond. Assume that the sender always has data to send, the segments are
numbered from 1, and no segment is lost. Let 𝑡 denote the time (in milliseconds) at
which the transmission of segment number 2000 starts.
Which one of the following options is correct?

With respect to a TCP connection between a client and a server, which one of the
following statements is true?
