A common technique for predicting the next value on the basis of a time series of past values,and the one specified in RFC 793,is _________.
A)Jacobson's algorithm
B)token bucket
C)exponential averaging
D)implicit congestion signaling

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The technique described in RFC 793 is TCP's Karn/Partridge algorithm, which involves using exponential averaging to predict the round-trip time of packets in a network. Thus, choice C (exponential averaging) is the most appropriate answer. Choices A (Jacobson's algorithm) and D (implicit congestion signaling) are related to TCP congestion control, but they do not involve predicting future values based on past values. Choice B (token bucket) is a rate limiting algorithm, which is not related to time series prediction.
