What is the difference between TCP Reno and TCP CUBIC?
Correct! Well done.
Incorrect.
The correct answer is B) TCP Reno uses linear growth in congestion avoidance; TCP CUBIC uses a cubic function for faster bandwidth utilization on high-BDP links
B
Correct Answer
TCP Reno uses linear growth in congestion avoidance; TCP CUBIC uses a cubic function for faster bandwidth utilization on high-BDP links
Explanation
CUBIC (Linux default) maintains a cubic window growth function based on elapsed time since last loss, independently of RTT. It better utilizes high-bandwidth, high-latency links than Reno's RTT-dependent additive increase.
