Network Protocols class files
The network protocols and topics covered in this course
were:
- Internet layers
- IP service model
- TCP and UDP service models
- encapsulation
- packet switching
- end to end principle
- The Finite State Machine of the HTTP Request and TCP
Connections
- Internet names and addresses
- Packet Switching topics:
- delay guarantees
- delay model
- end to end delay
- playback buffers
- Queue properties:
- Burstiness increases delay and Little's
Result
- Packet Arrivals are not Poisson processes but some
events are, such as web requests and new flow
arrivals
