TCP Dynamic Behavior

The TCP Dynamic Behavior course is designed for engineers with basic knowledge of TCP/IP that want to strengthen their knowledge and find out about the dynamic behavior of the protocol, i.e. how it behaves with respect to time. The course contents are summarized in the following bullets: TCP Basics . Quick summary of TCP principles, algorithms and interaction patterns. Useful to bring up the audience's knowledge to the level required for the rest of the course. TCP Congestion Control.  This section focuses specifically on how TCP deals with congestion. The most widely used TCP CC algorithm, TCP Reno, is explained in detail. Alternative CC algorithms like TCP Ledbat, TCP Cubic and others are mentioned. End Host characterization.  Here we explain what resources and parameters apply to an end host involved in TCP communication with a peer. Things like queues, time-outs, parameters governing TCP algorithms and host performance indicators as well as basic characterization tools
