Transport Layer 3-* Chapter 3: Summary principles behind transport layer services: multiplexing, demultiplexing reliable data transfer flow control congestion control instantiation and implementation in the Internet UDP TCP Next: leaving the network “edge” (application, transport layers) into the network “core” Transport Layer 3-* Homework P.260 1,3,4,8 P.263 10,16,19,25 * * Kurose and Ross forgot to say anything about wrapping the carry and adding it to low order bit * Transport Layer 3-* Chapter 3 outline 3.1 Transport-layer services 3.2 Multiplexing and demultiplexing 3.3 Connectionless transport: UDP 3.4 Principles of reliable data transfer 3.5 Connection-oriented transport: TCP segment structure reliable data transfer flow control connection management 3.6 Principles of congestion control 3.7 TCP congestion control Transport Layer 3-* TCP Flow Control receive side of TCP connection has a receive buffer: speed-matching service: matching the send rate to the receiving app’s drain rate app process may be slow at reading from buffer sender won’t overflow receiver’s buffer by transmitting too much, too fast flow control Transport Layer 3-* TCP Flow control: how it works (Suppose TCP receiver discards out-of-order segments) spare room in buffer = RcvWindow = RcvBuffer-[LastByteRcvd - LastByteRead] Rcvr advertises spare room by including value of RcvWindow in segments Sender limits unACKed data to RcvWindow guarantees receive buffer doesn’t overflow Transport Layer 3-* TCP Round Trip Time and Timeout Q: how to set TCP timeout value? longer than RTT but RTT varies too short: premature timeout unnecessary retransmissions too long: slow reaction to segment loss Q: how to estimate RTT? SampleRTT: measured time from segment transmission until ACK receipt ignore retransmissions SampleRTT will vary, want estimated RTT “smoother” average several recent measurements, not just current SampleRTT Transport Layer 3-* TCP Round Trip Time and Timeout EstimatedRTT = (1- ?)*Estimat
