EP145: Infrastructure as Code Landscape

ByteByteGo

The request goes through different DNS servers (root, TLD, and authoritative). Next, your browser initiates a TCP connection like a handshake. the client and server perform a TCP three-way handshake with SYN, SYN-ACK, and ACK messages. DNS lookup begins (think of it as looking up a phone number).

Post-quantum readiness for TLS at Meta

Engineering at Meta

This is close to the typical TCP/IPv6 maximum segment size (MSS) of 1440 bytes, but is still fine for a full TLS handshake. This poses some challenges given significant usage of TCP Fast Open (TFO) for internal traffic. Figure 2: Left: TLS handshake with TFO done in same round trip as TCP handshake.

According to a statement published last night, Facebook Engineering wrote, “Configuration changes on the backbone routers that coordinate network traffic between our data centers caused issues that interrupted this communication.” For example, in IPv4, Facebook authoritative server a.ns.facebook.com resolves to the address 129.134.30.12

Why are some IP frames bonded / Larger-than-MTU / un-fragmented when downloading from a server? [closed]

Network Engineering

But, I am seeing frames that are coming in that are too large, so TCP has to back off and slow everything down. I cannot figure out where this de-fragmentation is coming from, or if it's on the remote server or something in the network infrastructure between us? Note that this is a TCP stream flowing from 74.208.172.37

Making messaging interoperability with third parties safe for users in Europe

Engineering at Meta

Meta servers push messages to connected clients over a persistent connection. Third-party servers are responsible for hosting any media files their client applications send to Meta clients (such as image or video files). WhatsApp uses the Noise Protocol Framework to encrypt all data traveling between the client and the WhatsApp server.

EP140: HTTP/1 -> HTTP/2 -> HTTP/3

ByteByteGo

When you want to send the JWT to a server, you put the header, payload, and signature inside the box. Then you send it over to the server. The server can easily read the header and payload to understand who you are and what you want to do. However, it still used TCP as the underlying protocol.
