1. True or false? Consider congestion control in TCP. When the timer expires at the sender, the value of ssthresh is set to one half of its previous value.

2. According to the discussion of TCP splitting in the sidebar in Section 3.7, the response time with TCP splitting is approximately 4
RTT_FE
+ RTT_BE
+ processing time, as opposed to 4
RTT + processing time when a direct connection is used. Assume that RTT BE is 0.5
 RTT. For what values of RTT_FE
does TCP splitting have a shorter delay than a direct connection?
