Consider the TCP procedure for estimating RTT. Suppose that a=0.1. Let SampleRTT1, be the most recent sample RTT, let Sample RTT2 be the next most recent sample RTT, and so on.
a. For a given TCP connection, suppose four acknowledgments have been returned with corresponding sample RTTs SampleRTT4, SampleRTT3, SampleRTT2, and SampleRTT1, Express EstimatedRTT in terms the four sample RTTs.
b. Generalize your formula for n sample RTTs.
c. For the formula in part(b)let n approach infinity. Comment on why this averaging procedure is called an exponential moving average.
