Description
The second of this two-lectures series, which aims at contributing to the computing culture of those involved in scientific computing, will focus on the end-systems issues, in particular TCP, the Internet Transport Protocol, the companion technology of IP. The lecture will present in a synthetic manner the major features and services of TCP to help understand observed behaviours of networked activities, as well as today’s issues such as tuning and performance aspects associated to long-distance and high bit-rate connections.
