Suppose TCP Reno has regularly spaced sawtooth peaks of the sameheight, but the packet losses come in pairs, with just enoughseparation that both losses in a pair are counted separately. N islarge enough that the spacing between the two losses is negligible.The net effect is that each large-scale tooth ranges from heightN/4 to N. As in 14.5 TCP Reno loss rate versus cwnd, cwndmean =K/√p for some constant K. Find the constant. Hint: from the giveninformation one can determine both cwndmean and the number ofpackets sent in one tooth. The loss rate is p = 2/(number ofpackets sent in one tooth).
