Respuesta :
Since duplicate packets could result.
Why does the maximum packet lifetime have to be large?
In order to guarantee that the packets and their ACK are both received before being discarded. Whenever the packet is received but no ACK is received. Duplicate packets could result.
What is the potential disadvantage when Nagle's algorithm is used on a badly congested network?
It leads to an increase in delay, which slows down an application that needs a quick network response.
Nagle's algorithm:
Nagle's algorithm makes the stack wait until every piece of data on a connection has been acknowledged before sending more data. By reducing the number of packets that must be sent, this technique, known as "nagling," improves the efficiency of a network application system.
Thus duplicate packet results out if the maximum packet lifetime has to be large.
