The size of the congestion Window in the slow start phase of the TCP congestion control algorithm
Answer and explanation
Correct answer D
During the slow-start phase of TCP congestion control, the congestion window (cwnd) is incremented by 1 Maximum Segment Size (MSS) for every acknowledged segment, causing cwnd to double once per round-trip time (RTT). Consequently, the congestion window "Increases exponentially" with respect to RTT until it reaches the slow-start threshold (ssthresh).
