19.1

Consider a TCP client application that writes a small application header (8 bytes) followed by a small request (12 bytes). It then waits for a reply from the server. What happens if the request is sent using two writes (8 bytes, then 12 bytes) versus a single write of 20 bytes?

19.2

In Figure 19.4 we are running tcpdump on the router sun. This means the data in the arrows from the right to the left still have to go through bsdi, and the data in the arrows from the left to the right have already come through bsdi. When we see a segment going to slip, followed by a segment coming from slip, the time differences between the two are: 34.8, 26.7, 30.1, 28.1, 29.9, and 35.3 ms. Given that there are two links between sun and slip (an Ethernet and a 9600 bits/sec CSLIP link), do these time differences make sense? ( Hint: Reread Section 2.10.)

19.3

Compare the time required to send a special function key and have it acknowledged using the Nagle algorithm (Figure 19.6) and with the algorithm disabled (Figure 19.8).
