1 The concept and ideas behind it No header bit definitions No DoS protection stuff André Oppermann Page 1

2 WhatisTCP Transmission Control Protocol Definedin RFC793 (in 1981!) Basedon A Protocol for Packet Network Intercommunication by Vinton G. Cerf, Robert E. Kahn (in 1974) Updated overtheyearsbya large numberof additional RFC s TCP istheprimaryprotocolon theinternet ThatiswhatI will talk abouttoday André Oppermann <oppermann@networx.ch> Page 2

3 PurposeofTCP Provide a reliable data channel Ittrieshardtodeliverthedata Andtellstheapplicationifitcan t Sequential and in-order data stream ItensuresthatA isdeliveredbeforeb Over a lossyand dumb network(ip) The Internet everywhere and anytime André Oppermann <oppermann@networx.ch> Page 3

4 Smart vs. Dumb(1) Two network types exist Smart network with dumb terminals Terminal is just a presentation device All thelogicanddatahandlingisin thenetwork Centralized approach Everythinghastobeimplementedandpreparedin the network Examples: Telephony network Compuserve, AOL, MSN, Minitel André Oppermann <oppermann@networx.ch> Page 4

5 Smart vs. Dumb(2) Dumb network with smart terminals Terminal is also doing data handling The network is just a dumb packet transporter Stateless to any packet flows Network is usage agnostic Every packet isjust a packet likeall theothers Decentralized approach The terminal has to implement the data handling itself End toend principle Examples: Internet X.21 network(partially stateful) André Oppermann <oppermann@networx.ch> Page 5

6 Dumbnetwork(1) The terminal doesn t know anything about the network Noideaon thespeedandbandwidth Noideaon thedelaysandroundtriptimes Absolutely nothing! The networkisa blackbox TCP hastodiscovereverythingbyitself Through observing the network André Oppermann <oppermann@networx.ch> Page 6

7 Dumbnetwork(2) IP packetscangetlost atanytime Queue overflows in switches and routers Bit errorsorcollisionson Layer 2 Lost link, broken line, Anything Lost packets are not reported! Packet loss comes with these properties Single packet is lost A wholenumber(burst) ofpacketsislost Packets are reordered(b before A) No packets make it through André Oppermann <oppermann@networx.ch> Page 7

10 Acknowledgementsystem(1) The remote terminal must tellwhenitreceived datafromus Ithastosend an acknowledgement( I gotthe data ) Data: ABC ACK: 3 Bytes André Oppermann <oppermann@networx.ch> Page 10

11 Acknowledgementsystem(2) Sequence space numbering in each direction So thatbothterminalsknowwheretheyare TCP header contains two fields Start sequence number of this packet Acknowledgement sequence number of the latest(inorder) received packet Ittakesa fullrtt forustoknowwhetherour data packet was received Andittakeslongertofind out thatit got lost André Oppermann Page 11

12 Loss detectionsystem(1) Howdo wefind out thatthedatapacket was lost? Two methods exist See nextslides André Oppermann Page 12
