TCP in TL

TCP is a connection-oriented transport protocol that creates virtual connections between two TCP endpoints to reliably send data in a full-duplex manner using sequence numbers, acknowledgments, and flow/error control. It numbers the bytes being transferred, with the sequence number field defining the number of the first byte in a segment and acknowledgment field defining the number of the next expected byte. TCP uses three-way handshaking for connection establishment and termination, consuming sequence numbers, and supports half-close connections.

Transport Layer: TCP

Introduction
• TCP is a connection-
connection-oriented transport protocol
• It creates a virtual connection between two TCPs to
send data.
• In addition, TCP uses
– Date Segments in Stream of Bytes
– Flow and error control mechanisms at the transport level.
– Full--Duplex Communication
Full
– Congestion Control
– Reliable transport protocol
Stream Delivery
Sending and receiving buffer
Numbering System
• The bytes of data being transferred in each
connection are numbered by TCP.
• The numbering starts with a randomly
generated number.
Numbering System
• The value in the sequence number field of a
segment defines the number of the first data
byte contained in that segment.
• The value of the acknowledgment field in a
segment defines the number of the next byte
a party expects to receive.
• The acknowledgment number is cumulative.

Connection establishment using three-
way handshaking
• A SYN segment cannot carry data, but it
consumes one sequence number.
• A SYN + ACK segment cannot carry data, but
does consume one sequence number.
• An ACK segment, if carrying no data,
consumes no sequence number.

• The FIN segment consumes one sequence


number if it does not carry data.
• The FIN + ACK segment consumes one
sequence number if it does not carry data.
