CCNA: TCP/IP Stack

The Network DNA

CCNA: TCP/IP Stack TCP/IP Stack is the most widely used protocol stack. TCP/IP stack is a conceptual model consisting of network communication protocols. It specifies how data should be packetized, addressed, transmitted, and routed across the network. TCP/IP networks use TCP or UDP protocol at this layer.

Multi-Path TCP: revolutionizing connectivity, one path at a time

CloudFaire

Enter Multi-Path TCP (MPTCP), which exploits the presence of multiple interfaces on a device, such as a mobile phone that has both Wi-Fi and cellular antennas, to achieve multi-path connectivity. It's a major extension to the TCP protocol, and historically most of the TCP changes failed to gain traction.

NetFlow vs. sFlow

Kentik

Flow-based network monitoring relies on collecting information about packet flows (i.e. a sequence of related packets) as they traverse routers, switches, load balancers, ADCs, network visibility switches, and other devices. IPFIX is an IETF standards-based protocol that is largely modeled on NetFlow v9. Interface Counters.

IoT has an identity problem. Here’s how to solve it

CATO Networks

In most cases, these patterns are evaluated on a single network packet, rather than a sequence of flows between a client host and a server. There exist several protocols, from different network layers that can be used for OS fingerprinting. Figure 1 displays these protocols, based on the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) model.
