Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -1. What is the value of the receiver window (rwnd) for host A if the receiver, host B, has a buffer size of 5000 bytes and 1000 bytes of received and unprocessed data? Solution The value of rwnd = 5000 − 1000 = 4000.
Detailed explanation-2: -Hence the correct answer is 7900.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Receiver Window (rwnd) is a variable that advertises the amount of data that the destination side can receive. Together, the two variables are used to regulate data flow in TCP connections, minimize congestion, and improve network performance.
