Stanford CS 144 Note 3 - Packets & packets switching overview

3 - way handshake 三次握手

在transport layer中

第一步 client发送synchronized message

第二步 server发送synchronized message + acknowledge message

第三步 client发送acknowledge message （即 SYN, SYN + ACK, ACK）
    

TCP bytestream 

要用到IP address 和 TCP port 

IP address是network layer要用来deliver packets

TCP port是用来判断data要被deliver到哪个application

Packet switching overview

Independently for each arriving packet, pick its outgoing link.

If the link is free, send it. Else hold it for later

     
Two important consequences of using packet switching:

        1. simple packet forwarding

               they forward packet independently, without knowing about the flow.

        2. efficient sharing of links

                 it lets us efficiently use the capacity among many flows sharing a link.
