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. Finally, the IP address is retrieved. 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. For example, in the case of HTTP 1.1,

CCNA: Address Resolution Protocol (ARP)

The Network DNA

This is similar to Address Resolution Protocol, which maps layer 3 IP addresses to the layer MAC addresses. IP address. To do that it builds the Ethernet Frame and puts its MAC address as the Source MAC address (SMAC) and layer 2 broadcast address (ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff). with 0x4a::56.

CCNA: IP Routing

The Network DNA

Here well see how a layer 3 switch or a router transmit packets between different networks using the layer 3 destination address. IP layer assign an identifier or an address to all the endpoints on the network. This address is called the layer 3 address or IP address.

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.
