Which of the following statements are TRUE?
TCP handles both congestion and flow control
UDP handles congestion but not flow control
Fast retransmit deals with congestion but not flow control
Slow start mechanism deals with both congestion and flow control
- A.
S₁, S₂ and S₃ only
- B.
S₁ and S₃ only
- C.
S₃ and S₄ only
- D.
S₁, S₃ and S₄ only

Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
TCP manages both flow and congestion control mechanisms, validating the first statement as true.
UDP lacks built-in mechanisms for either, making the second statement false regarding congestion handling.
Fast retransmit specifically addresses packet loss during congestion without influencing receiver flow limits, confirming the third statement is true.
Slow start regulates transmission rates based on network capacity rather than receiver buffers, making the fourth statement false regarding flow control.
Consequently, only statements one and three are accurate.
