Computing TCP's RTT and timeout values
Suppose that TCP's current estimated values for the round trip time (estimatedRTT) and
deviation in the RTT (DevRTT) are
320 msec and 19 msec, respectively (see Section 3.5.3 for a discussion of these variables).
Suppose that the next three measured values of the RTT are 330 msec, 360 msec, and 260 msec respectively.

Compute TCP's new value of DevRTT, estimatedRTT, and the TCP timeout value after each of these three measured RTT values is obtained. Use the values of α = 0.125, and β = 0.25. Round your answers to two decimal places after leading zeros.
Question List
1. What is the estimatedRTT after the first RTT?
2. What is the RTT Deviation for the the first RTT?
3. What is the TCP timeout for the first RTT?
4. What is the estimatedRTT after the second RTT?
5. What is the RTT Deviation for the the second RTT?
6. What is the TCP timeout for the second RTT?
7. What is the estimatedRTT after the third RTT?
8. What is the RTT Deviation for the the third RTT?
9. What is the TCP timeout for the third RTT?
Solution
DevRTT is calculated with the following equation: (1-beta)*DevRTT + beta * |estimatedRTT - sampleRTT|
estimatedRTT is calculated with the following equation: (1-alpha)*estimatedRTT + alpha*sampleRTT
TCP timeout is calculated with the following equation: estimatedRTT + (4*DevRTT)
1. The estimatedRTT for RTT1 is 321.25
2. The DevRTT for RTT1 is 16.75
3. The timeout for RTT1 is 388.25
4. The estimatedRTT for RTT2 is 326.09
5. The DevRTT for RTT2 is 22.25
6. The timeout for RTT2 is 415.09
7. The estimatedRTT for RTT3 is 317.83
8. The DevRTT for RTT3 is 33.21
9. The timeout for RTT3 is 450.68
