Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Silly Window Syndrome (SWS) is a TCP efficiency problem where data is transmitted in extremely small segments, wasting bandwidth. The solutions involve mechanisms at both ends of the connection: Nagle's Algorithm (sender-side) prevents the sending of small packets by waiting for a full segment's worth of data or an acknowledgment, while Clark's Solution (receiver-side) prevents the receiver from advertising small window updates until a reasonable amount of buffer space is free. Therefore, both A and B are the standard solutions for this problem.
