Lecture

TCP Protocol: Basics and AIMD Algorithm

Description

This lecture covers the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP), explaining how nodes communicate in a network by sending and receiving packets. It addresses common issues like packet loss and congestion, proposing solutions such as error correction algorithms and the Additive Increase Multiplicative Decrease (AIMD) algorithm to regulate packet transmission. The AIMD algorithm adjusts the number of packets sent based on network conditions, aiming to optimize efficiency while avoiding congestion.
