So guys, now let us summarize this section quickly.
In this section we had a quick shot tool over TCP protocol and tried to understand its goals, objectives
and functionality at a high level.
We understood what is meant by connection oriented protocol, what is meant by stream oriented protocol.
Then we understood the feedback mechanism and retransmission by TCP protocol in order to promise reliable
delivery of data.
And we then understood about TCP header format in the subsequent section of this course, we shall dive
deep into various features of TCP one by one and understand each of those in detail.
Since this course is nothing but TCP Masterclass course.
So when I say masterclass, it means that we will going to cover every minute detail regarding TCP protocol
in this course along the way, you will have many numerical and assignments to grasp the idea or the
concept better.
So please remember that it is not a cakewalk to understand TCP internal design in the first attempt.
So if you are getting familiar with the TCP protocol for the first time, then consider yourself lucky
because students often bang their head against the wall in order to understand the various functionality
and internal design and implementation of TCP protocol.
I will not say that TCP protocol is very challenging thing to understand, but it is not very simple
either.
So good luck, guys.
From now onwards, we will going to dive deep into the specifics of TCP protocol.
