Introduction to TCP

Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) is a core protocol of the Internet protocol


suite. It facilitates the reliable and ordered delivery of a stream of bytes from
one program to another over an IP network.

What is flow control?
1 Regulating Data Flow
Flow control in TCP manages the amount of data sent from one side to another to prevent
overflow or congestion and ensures efficient transmission.

2 Real-time Adjustment
It involves adjusting the transmission rate based on feedback, network conditions, and the
receiving side's ability to process data.

3 Enhancing Reliability
By controlling the data flow, flow control helps in maintaining data integrity and avoiding
overwhelming the recipient.
Importance of flow control in TCP

Optimizing Bandwidth
Flow control ensures that the available network bandwidth is used efficiently, minimizing
wastage.

Preventing Bottlenecks
It plays a crucial role in preventing congestion and bottlenecks in the network, ensuring
smooth and steady data transfer.

Buffer Management
Effective flow control helps manage buffers and memory resources, leading to better
utilization and performance.

Sliding window protocol
Window Boundary Movement
The sliding window protocol dynamically adjusts the boundaries of the window,
optimizing data transmission based on the network conditions.

Sequencing and Acknowledgment


It ensures the precise sequencing and acknowledgment of transmitted data
packets, maintaining the integrity and order of transmission.

Efficient Data Flow


By allowing overlap of data segments in the window, it enables continuous and
efficient flow of data packets.
Congestion control vs. flow control

Congestion Control Flow Control
Focused on managing traffic and network Primarily concerned with managing data
congestion to prevent packet loss and ensure transmission rates to maintain a steady and
fair usage of network resources. optimized flow of data.
Flow control algorithms in TCP
1. Slow-Start Gradually increases the congestion window
to gauge network capacity.

2. Congestion Avoidance Steadily increases transmission rate until


congestion is detected, then adjusts.

3. Fast Retransmit and Recovery Resends segments when receiving duplicate


acknowledgment.
