Description

Welcome to TCP Protocol Deep Dive - Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) is the standard that enables all modern network infrastructure communication and web-based applications. Whether you are a network engineer or developer, understanding how TCP works is crucial to your career. The course takes a complex topic and simplifies it with complete coverage of all features. This is an essential course for networking professionals and certification students. TCP/IP architecture model is the current standard today for all network communications. In this course you will learn how network hardware, protocols and applications all work together to send data messages across the internet. Learn how data messages are sent across the internetLearn the fundamentals of network communications  Ethernet, ARP, Wireless, IP, TCP, UDP, DNS, HTTPSLinux and Windows full stack architectureDe facto standard that replaces older OSI modelLearn how a network session starts from client to server, and how TCP bidirectional full-duplex auto-tuning works between endpoints. Identify the effects of protocol delay on network performance and compare latency with throughput. There is also unique coverage of TCP transport layer troubleshooting. It is crucial to understand TCP concepts before attempting to do Wireshark or tcpdump network analysis traces. In fact there is no protocol that affects application performance more than TCP. This course has a practical approach for networking professionals and developers to learn the basics of TCP for troubleshooting, performance analysis, and network security. In fact, TCP is an intersection point for network engineers, software engineers, and security engineers. You will learn concepts such as application ports, congestion control, loss recovery, and troubleshooting.TCP/IP Reference ModelTCP 3-Way Handshake TCP 4-Way TerminationTCP Flow Control  Slow Start AlgorithmSliding Window OperationMSS vs Path MTU DiscoveryBandwidth Delay ProductNagle Algorithm Socket BuffersTCP Troubleshooting You will learn how a network session is operational from the physical layer up to and including the application layer. There is an explanation of how applications plug-in to the communications stack as well.
