Question $10$

The current estimate of the RTT $($round$-$trip time$)$ is $RT{T}_0=5\mathrm{.}0ms$ and the initial

value of the mean deviation $($dispersion$)D_0=0\mathrm{.}7ms.$ The further measurements

resulted in the following values for RTT: $M_1=3\mathrm{.}8ms$;$M_2=3\mathrm{.}8ms$;$M_3=3\mathrm{.}8ms$;$M_4$

$=2\mathrm{.}3ms$;$M_5=2\mathrm{.}3ms$;$M_6=5\mathrm{.}0ms$;$M_7=10\mathrm{.}0ms.$ Using the Jacobson algorithm cal$-$

culate the RTO corresponding to each measurement $($assume the smoothing factors $$

$==0\mathrm{.}875$ for calculations of RTT and D$,$ respectively$).$ Explain the impact of the

value of the parameter $$ on evaluation of the RTT$.$
