MY CCIE JOURNEY

Slow Start Process :

This process is used when there is an establishment of new tcp connection / session or when a timeout takes place

Every new tcp connection or a timoeout when occured is counted in increment of MSS

CONGESTION WINDOW cwnd = 2*MSS <-------- syn

CONGESTION WINDOW cwnd = 3*MSS<----------syn ack

CONGESTION WINDOW cwnd = 3*MSS<----------ACK.

CONGESTION WINDOW cwnd = 3*MSS<----------data

CONGESTION WINDOW cwnd = 4*MSS<----------ACK

........................................


Starting window size for ethernet = 2* MAX SEGMENT SIZE
= 2*MSS (1460) BYTES

*It increments window size by one every time
