I have just started with networking and your videos are BY FAR the best I have found out there. Easily explained and easy to digest. Thank you for that, Nick
Great class - a very good communicator - I like the real world references and the repetition of how the process fits into the bigger picture of data transmission. Thanks Nicholas
Might I just state that you, sir, are a great teacher. :) I appreciate all the examples and analogies you make to help both your students in class and now your global students understand these challenging topics. Thank you for posting these videos!
Good to know that about TCP handshakes and transport protocol. BTW, tried NETSTAT -n, and got plenty of IP addresses that sending data from my computer out - by using who.is service, saw Microsoft, Google, but also RIPE (whatever that is), and Amazon. I can understand Microsoft (I am using Win10), and Google (using Chrome browser), but don't understand that RIPE (based in Amsterdam, NL) an Amazon. What Amazon doing on my computer?! Spying my activity so that next time visiting Amazon.com they will offer me exactly what I am doing on my computer? I suspect that Google and Microsoft doing the same. What about RIPE?
My understanding of a push is that the sender tells TCP to send the data immediately, not waiting on any buffers to be filled up. This sends the data to the receiving application without delay...similar to a telnet session.
not all OS's use empheral ports between 49152 to 65535, about 15% of my networks web traffic is outside of this range. netstat -n flag is numerical ports
There is a bunch of materials about TCP in text or video, but non of them explanes the core principles, how tcp exactly works, how it effectively solves the task of reliability in the Internet... The only book where I found this explonation - TCP/IP Illustrated vol 1. I could make the conclusion that most (if not all) this youtube videos authors are not understand principles and waste the time talking about port numbers, headers filds or and 3-way handshake... A couple can explaine sliding window, but I have not found any, who can clearly explain the whole transmission process. Does it means that I should make my own video-serie to cover this using TCP/IP Illustrated?
