In this lab, we'll investigate the behavior of the

celebrated TCP protocol in detail. We'll do so by

analyzing a trace of the TCP segments sent and

received in transferring a 150KB file (containing

the text of Lewis Carrol's Alice's Adventures in

Wonderland) from your computer to a remote

server. We'll study TCP's use of sequence and

acknowledgement numbers for providing reliable

data transfer; we'll see TCP's congestion control

algorithm - slow start and congestion avoidance -

in action; and we'll look at TCP's receiver-

advertised flow control mechanism. We'll also

briefly consider TCP connection setup and we'll

investigate the performance (throughput and

round-trip time) of the TCP connection between

your computer and the server.
