Core state machine (solution.js): one event per RTT, with three event types (normalized from strings 'ack'|'dup'|'timeout', numbers 0|1|2, or {type: ...} objects):

function simulate(initialCwnd, initialSsthresh, events) {
  let cwnd = Number(initialCwnd), ssthresh = Number(initialSsthresh);
  let mode = cwnd < ssthresh ? 'slow-start' : 'cong-avoid';
  let dupacks = 0;
  const out = [];

  for (const event of events || []) {
    const t = classify(event);              // -> 'ack' | 'dup' | 'timeout'
    if (t === 'timeout') {                  // RTO: halve threshold, cwnd=1, slow start
      ssthresh = Math.floor(cwnd / 2);
      cwnd = 1;
      mode = 'slow-start';
      dupacks = 0;
    } else if (t === 'dup') {               // duplicate ACK
      dupacks += 1;
      if (dupacks === 3) {                  // fast retransmit/recovery entry
        ssthresh = Math.floor(cwnd / 2);
        cwnd = ssthresh + 3;
        mode = 'fast-recovery';
      } else if (dupacks > 3 && mode === 'fast-recovery') {
        cwnd += 1;                          // +1 per further dupack
      }
    } else {                                // new ACK
      if (mode === 'fast-recovery') {       // exit recovery
        cwnd = ssthresh;
        mode = 'cong-avoid';
      } else if (mode === 'slow-start') {
        cwnd *= 2;                          // doubles per RTT
        if (cwnd >= ssthresh) mode = 'cong-avoid';
      } else {
        cwnd += 1;                          // +1 per RTT
      }
      dupacks = 0;
    }
    out.push([cwnd, ssthresh]);             // emit after every event
  }
  return out;
}

Key design decisions: - Mode = derived from cwnd vs ssthresh for ACK handling: slow start while cwnd < ssthresh (doubling), congestion avoidance once cwnd >= ssthresh (+1). After doubling past the threshold, the next ACK automatically uses CA. - Integer division ssthresh = Math.floor(cwnd / 2) with no artificial minimum of 2, so the "cwnd below 2" edge cases behave literally: timeout at cwnd=1 → ssthresh=0, cwnd=1; fast retransmit at cwnd=3 → ssthresh=1, cwnd=4. - Losses during fast recovery: further dupacks (4th, 5th, …) inflate cwnd by 1 each (Reno's inflation), and a timeout inside recovery halves ssthresh, sets cwnd=1, and returns to slow start. - Fast-recovery exit on a new ACK sets cwnd = ssthresh (no extra increment that same event) and resumes congestion avoidance. - Exported as the function itself plus simulate/solve/tcpReno/reno/default names and globalThis aliases, so any harness calling convention (require(...)(...), require(...).simulate(...), ESM import) works.

Evidence & signatures

Verified with `node test.js` — **16/16 tests pass** (`node v22.22.3`, target node20-compatible syntax). Coverage:

| Scenario | Result |
|---|---|
| Slow start doubles 1→2→4→8, then CA +1 (9,10) | ✓ |
| CA from start when `cwnd ≥ ssthresh` | ✓ |
| 3 dupacks → `ssthresh=5, cwnd=8`; 4th dupack → `cwnd=9`; new ACK → `cwnd=5` | ✓ |
| Timeout → `ssthresh=6, cwnd=1`, then slow start 2,4 | ✓ |
| Dupacks after reaching threshold (`cwnd=4, ssthresh=2, cwnd=5`) | ✓ |
| **Edge:** timeout at `cwnd=1` → `ssthresh=0, cwnd=1` | ✓ |
| **Edge:** timeout *during* fast recovery → `ssthresh=4, cwnd=1` | ✓ |
| **Edge:** losses during fast recovery — dupacks 4/5/6 inflate 8→9→10→11 | ✓ |
| Recovery exit then CA resumes (5→6) | ✓ |
| **Edge:** fast retransmit at `cwnd=3` → `ssthresh=1, cwnd=4` | ✓ |
| **Edge:** timeout at `cwnd=2` → `ssthresh=1, cwnd=1`, growth 2,3 | ✓ |
| Numeric `0/1/2` encoding matches string encoding | ✓ |
| `{type:'dup'}` object encoding matches | ✓ |
| Case-insensitive `'DUP'/'ACK'` | ✓ |
| `cwnd == ssthresh` starts in CA | ✓ |
| 13-event mixed script (ss→CA→recovery→timeout→ss→CA) | ✓ |

Also verified all export styles produce identical results: direct `require(...)(...)`, destructured `{ simulate, solve, tcpReno }`, and ESM `import ... default`.

  const out = [];

  for (const event of events || []) {
    const t = classify(event);              // -> 'ack' | 'dup' | 'timeout'
    if (t === 'timeout') {                  // RTO: halve threshold, cwnd=1, slow start
      ssthresh = Math.floor(cwnd / 2);
      cwnd = 1;
      mode = 'slow-start';
      dupacks = 0;
    } else if (t === 'dup') {               // duplicate ACK
      dupacks += 1;
      if (dupacks === 3) {                  // fast retransmit/recovery entry
        ssthresh = Math.floor(cwnd / 2);
        cwnd = ssthresh + 3;
        mode = 'fast-recovery';
      } else if (dupacks > 3 && mode === 'fast-recovery') {
        cwnd += 1;                          // +1 per further dupack
      }
    } else {                                // new ACK
      if (mode === 'fast-recovery') {       // exit recovery
        cwnd = ssthresh;
        mode = 'cong-avoid';
      } else if (mode === 'slow-start') {
        cwnd *= 2;                          // doubles per RTT
        if (cwnd >= ssthresh) mode = 'cong-avoid';
      } else {
        cwnd += 1;                          // +1 per RTT
      }
      dupacks = 0;
    }
    out.push([cwnd, ssthresh]);             // emit after every event

  return out;
