Thanks to the efforts of some MIT researchers, our use of the Transmission Control Protocol could soon experience a nice upgrade. Since its introduction decades ago, TCP has become an integral part of ...

This course is study of the TCP/IP and Network Architecture. We will focus on the concepts and fundamental principles that have contributed to the modern networks design and implementation using ...

We live in a virtual world where most of us have network access in our homes -- the Internet -- which is a virtual network. We access the virtual network with some form of TCP/IP connection that is ...

Limiting the amount of RAM used by the TCP/IP stack in embedded systems improves the device’s security and reliability.

Thomas Herbert's book The Linux TCP/IP Stack: Networking for Embedded Systems is a thorough guided tour of the Linux kernel TCP/IP implementation. Herbert builds his description of Linux networking, ...

It's easy to miss neat features that get added to really broad products, because they don't get publicized as the most important thing about the release. But the under-publicized features can also be ...

A top-down exploration of networking using the 5-layer model and the TCP/IP stack. HTTP, FTP, DNS, BSD Sockets, concurrent servers, checksums, reliable transport with stop-and-wait, go-back-n, ...

An interview with Robert Taylor, former manager of Xerox PARC, shows TCP/IP designs were based a lot on the PARC Universal Packet (PUP) networking protocol suite. To understand where we are going, we ...

Apple’s iOS 7 is the first large-scale use of a newly-minted Internet protocol, called multipath TCP. It lets computers send and receive data across different network paths and interfaces at the same ...

As we all know, the Internet has many birthdays. May 19 was one of them, at least for the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). In May 1974, the article "A Protocol For Packet ...
