TCP Congestion Control: Slow Start
In this lesson, we're going to look at the slow start algorithm.
We'll cover the following...
How Slow Start Works
The objective of TCP slow-start is to quickly reach an acceptable value for the congestion window.
During slow-start:
- The congestion window is doubled every round-trip time.
- The slow-start algorithm uses an additional variable in the TCB to maintain the slow-start threshold.
- The slow-start threshold is an estimation of the last value of the
