The TCP’s congestion control can suffocate the application’s sending rate at times of congestion.
When the timer expires at the sender, the value of the ssthresh is not set to one-half of the previous value. In such case, the value of the ssthresh is set to half of the current value of congestion window.
Hence, the statement that says, “When the timer expires at the sender, the value of the ssthresh is not set to one half of the previous value” is False.
