 ABSTRACT

Title: configure TCP protocol using sisco packet tracer.

The Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) is a fundamental communication protocol in computer networks,
widely used for reliable and ordered data transmission. This abstract provides an overview of TCP,
highlighting its key features, functions, and importance in modern networking.
TCP operates at the transport layer of the OSI model and ensures reliable, error-checked, and in-order delivery
of data between devices over IP networks. It achieves this through a combination of techniques, including
connection establishment, flow control, congestion control, and error detection and correction.
One of TCP's notable features is its three-way handshake mechanism, which establishes a connection between
sender and receiver before data transfer begins. It also implements flow control to prevent overwhelming the
receiver with data, and congestion control to avoid network congestion and ensure fair bandwidth usage.
TCP's reliability is achieved through acknowledgment mechanisms, retransmissions of lost packets, and
sequencing of data. This ensures that data is received exactly as it was sent, making TCP suitable for
applications where data integrity is critical, such as web browsing, email, file transfer, and more.
In summary, TCP plays a vital role in modern networking by providing a dependable and ordered data
delivery service. Its robustness and widespread adoption make it a cornerstone protocol for the internet and
various applications, contributing to the seamless exchange of information in our digital world.
 INTRODUCTION

In the realm of computer networking, where data travels across vast and complex networks, the Transmission
Control Protocol, or TCP, stands as a pillar of reliability and order. This protocol, nestled within the layers of
the OSI model, plays a fundamental role in ensuring that the digital information we send and receive reaches
its destination intact and in the correct sequence.

TCP, often referred to as one of the core protocols of the internet, is the glue that holds together our
interconnected world. It provides a robust and predictable framework for communication over IP networks,
guaranteeing that data arrives at its intended endpoint without errors and in the order in which it was
transmitted. This level of assurance is paramount in applications ranging from web browsing and email to file
transfers and video streaming.

At the heart of TCP's operation is a fascinating dance known as the three-way handshake, which establishes a
connection between sender and receiver, paving the way for data transmission. Once this connection is
formed, TCP's suite of mechanisms comes into play, including flow control to prevent data overload,
congestion control to keep networks from becoming overwhelmed, and error detection and correction to
ensure the integrity of the data.

This introduction sets the stage for an exploration of TCP, a protocol that quietly but powerfully underpins our
digital interactions. As we delve deeper into its workings, we will uncover the intricate mechanisms that make
TCP a cornerstone of modern networking, enabling the seamless flow of information across the vast expanse
of the internet.
 OBJECTIVES

The objective of the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) is to provide a reliable, connection-oriented, and
ordered data transmission service in computer networks. TCP achieves this by implementing a set of key
mechanisms and functionalities to ensure that data sent from a source reaches its intended destination
intact and in the correct order. Here are the primary objectives of the TCP protocol:

Reliability: TCP aims to guarantee that data sent over a network arrives without errors and is
acknowledged by the receiver. It accomplishes this by using acknowledgment mechanisms and
retransmission of lost packets.

Ordered Delivery: TCP ensures that data is delivered in the same order in which it was sent. This is crucial
for applications where the sequence of data packets matters, such as file transfers or streaming media.

Connection Establishment and Termination: TCP employs a three-way handshake to establish a connection
between sender and receiver and a four-way handshake to gracefully terminate the connection when data
exchange is complete.

Flow Control: TCP implements flow control mechanisms to prevent the sender from overwhelming the
receiver with data. This helps ensure efficient and fair data transfer across networks with varying speeds
and capacities.

Congestion Control: TCP monitors network congestion and adjusts its transmission rate to avoid
overloading the network. This helps maintain stable network performance and prevents congestion-related
issues.

Error Detection and Correction: TCP includes error-checking mechanisms to detect and correct errors that
may occur during data transmission. This contributes to the high level of data integrity that TCP provides.

Full-Duplex Communication: TCP supports full-duplex communication, allowing data to flow in both
directions simultaneously. This bidirectional capability is essential for real-time interactive applications and
many other network services.

In summary, the primary objective of TCP is to ensure the reliable and orderly exchange of data between
devices over IP networks. By fulfilling these objectives, TCP has become a foundational protocol that
underpins various internet services and applications, contributing to the seamless communication and
sharing of information in the digital age.
Project name: configure TCP protocol using cisco packet tracer

The Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) is one of the main protocols used in computer networking
and the Internet. It is part of the Internet Protocol suite, and its primary purpose is to provide
reliable, connection-oriented communication between two devices over a network.
TCP is widely used for applications that require reliable and ordered data delivery, such as web
browsing, email, file transfer (e.g., FTP), and more. It is part of the transport layer of the OSI model
and is complemented by the Internet Protocol (IP) at the network layer to enable end-to-end
communication across the internet.
Some of the examples for them are TCP/IP, HTTP, HTTPS and FTP. Even if you have an unreliable
network, the TCP has the capability to offer reliable and end-to-end byte stream.
TCP has its own services which are as follows:
1. Process -to- process communication
TCP provides process to process communication using port numbers.

2. Stream-oriented communication
Stream-oriented communication is a form of communication in which timing plays an
important role. Stream-oriented communication is also referred to as continuous streams of data.
Advantages of TCP protocol over UDP

 Data Re-transmission
During every handshake, TCP segments are being transmitted from sender to receiver.
Sometimes in between the transport, the segments may get lost failing to reach its
destination. Due to this an acknowledgement will be sent to the sender from the receiver, so
that the sender can re transmit the segment back again.

 Congestion Control
In order for avoiding congestions, TCP uses a separate congestion control policy. Basically
congestion happens when the sender send out too many data packets in a given time. For
preventing these the receiver sends signals to the sender in order for slowing the process
down or delaying the transmission. Right amount of data is being transmitted to keep the
network saturated.

 Unique identification
In TCP each computer on the network has been assigned with an unique IP address making it
identifiable over the network. Besides that each domain is assigned with a name. Therefore,
ultimately TCP provides benefits of name and address resolution services.

 In Order Delivery
Whenever a packet is sent, it cannot be guaranteed that it will be in order once it reaches its
host. The order might get lost in between. Therefore, before reaching the application, TCP
takes necessary steps to rearrange them in order.

 Error Detection
Error in the TCP can negatively impact on performance and connectivity services. Detecting
errors like corrupted and missing segments is relatively easy in TCP. It is generally done
through 3 steps. Those are the checksum, re transmission and acknowledgement.
Disadvantages of TCP protocols

 Slow Start
The process of TCP is always slow at the beginning. Only after a certain period of time the
speed will get accelerated. This can be especially disadvantageous when downloading larger
streams of data. Always you cannot acquire the full speed once you try to download larger
files, the process will be slow at the beginning and eventually the speed will get increased until
the download process is finished.

 Image Blockings
If there are more than one image present in a webpage and in case one of them is lost. TCP
will not be able to deliver other parts of the stream. Which means that other images will not
load if there are problems in one of them (The data will not be delivered to the browser until
all the images are loaded). These types of similar problems can be especially noticeable when
watching online videos. Once the connection is lost, the TCP will be retrieving even if other
parts of the video is watchable.

 Loss result of Congestion

Whenever there is a data congestion, TCP will be slowing down so that it can send traffic in a
steady rate. Although this can be beneficial for wired networking, it is not advantageous in the
case of a wireless connection. Even if there is a connection drop in a wireless network, the TCP
has to assume that the connection is unreliable and keep sending traffic at the same rate.

 Slow Handshake
Always when a connection is established, the TCP will be performing a handshake between the
sender and the receiver. This process can ultimately cause the connection establishment to
slowdown. However this won't be problematic until there is a use of devices with high latency.
Generally such devices can experience long time to establish a TCP connection.

 Network Optimization
Originally a TCP connection is optimized only for Wide Area Networks (WAN). It was not
designed for small networks such as Local Area Network (LAN) and Personal Area Network
(PAN). Therefore, the user has to switch to WAN services for acquiring maximum benefits out
of this connection.
Some of the limitations of using TCP are :

 It does not support broadcast or multicast transmission.

 TCP offers several features that we may not want. These features may result in a waste of
bandwidth, time, or effort.
 While establishing a connection, TCP performs a handshake between the sender and the
receiver. This slows down the connection establishment. However, this issue can be solved
using high latency devices.
