Web Science/Part1: Foundations of the web/Transmission Control Protocol/Sliding window and flow control/quiz

{How do you calculate the maximum number of different packets you are allowed to send on a TCP connection without acknowledgement assuming the packet size exceeds the maximum segment size (mss)? - the window size header field corresponds to the maximum number of packets - window size divided by the mss of the receiver - window size divided by the mss of the sender + window size divided by the minimum mss of the sender and receiver.

{What is the purpose of sliding windows in TCP? + to protect slow network interfaces to be overload with traffic from fast network interfaces + to decrease the latency while using the Stop and Wait heuristic - to reassemble files in the correct order - to ensure the reliability of the protocol
