TCP the Details

As we now know TCP will setup a "full-duplex" communication between two applications. The purpose of this post is to provide information on how that communication works.

John Kristoff has put together this excellent piece on the Web that covers the fundamental concepts behind TCP and how it is used to transport data between two endpoints.

If you go back to Daryl Banttari primer he will walk through an example of a TCP/IP communcation via packet sniffer.

    Thanks for the notes about TCP/IP. I'll definitely take a look at these later. I hope that this discusses the similarities and differences of this pair of protocols with the OSI model.
