TCP Protocol: Slow Start
In the last post we explained the basic idea of using sequence and acknowledgement numbers to track how many bytes were sent and received. We also has encountered the term “slow start” and elaborated how TCP uses this concept on the server to send few segments of data to the receiver instead of sending the full …

TCP Protocol: Flow Control
In the last two posts here and here, we have discussed how TCP stack initiates a TCP 3-way handshake and create the appropriate Transmission Control Block for the data to flow reliably. We knew that the main function of the 3-way handshaking is to exchange the sequence numbers, MSS, receive window and other parameters between …

TCP Protocol: TCP 3-way handshaking #2
In the last post, we have explained the TCP 3-way handshaking from an abstract point of view, and knew that one of the main functions of this handshaking is to exchange and synchronize some parameters for the TCP connection endpoints to facilitate its job. We also knew that two of the main parameters that the …

TCP Protocol: Three-way Handshake
We all know by now that the basic function of the TCP protocol is to send a stream of bytes that has no shape or fixed size over a network reliably to a receiver. We all also know that reliable delivery involves building a connection between two end-hosts, and this will be the first step that …
