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. There is another way.

EP145: Infrastructure as Code Landscape

ByteByteGo

If there’s a cache miss, it must find the IP address. The request goes through different DNS servers (root, TLD, and authoritative). Finally, the IP address is retrieved. Next, your browser initiates a TCP connection like a handshake. DNS lookup begins (think of it as looking up a phone number).

Facebook’s historic outage, explained

Included in the withdrawn prefixes were the IP addresses of Facebook’s authoritative DNS servers, rendering them unreachable. For example, in IPv4, Facebook authoritative server a.ns.facebook.com resolves to the address 129.134.30.12 which is routed as 129.134.30.0/24 24 and 129.134.30.0/23.

Why latency is the new outage

Kentik

Packet loss in TCP connections results in retransmissions which can introduce significant latency. Below is the beginning of a TCP handshake. After the DNS lookup and the ARP, the host reaches out to the IP address of the destination using a SYN in order to open a connection. Router hops introduce the most.

How to measure the performance of a website

Kentik

To be more specific: slowness can be introduced as your digital connection traverses your PC, the local wifi/wired connection, the local ISP, the Tier 1 or Tier 2 provider, or the CDN that provides the hardware which hosts the web server running the application. Your PC sends out what is called a “SYN” packet to the destination’s IP address.
