Since larger RTT implies lower throughput, would it be also correct if I say "This results in low throughput"?

Hello,

The direct implication is that delay becomes larger. You can also argue that larger delays coupled with high network congestion will cause larger drop rates, then resulting in lower throughput.

This is why the correct answer is "large delay"

Hi,
Just to make sure I understand the relation between throughput and RTT: I thought even when the packet is not dropped, with larger buffer, RTT (for packets that come in late in the buffer) will increase as well. Therefore, the throughput will decrease anyway.
