In this free online course, you are introduced to the world of computer networking, particularly focusing on the transport layer protocols. You will explore how the transport layer provides an interface between the user application and the operating system, as well as ways of reducing a packet lifetime and the socket programming framework. Demonstrations, problems, examples, and assessment questions in this instructor-led video-based course, are designed to provide you with a comprehensive foundation, which will enable you to take serious steps into understanding the Transport Layer in the protocol stack.
This course of the transport layer provides an introduction to the role and tasks of the transport layer protocols in computer networking. The concept of connection establishment in the network will be discussed to help you understand the acceptable protocols for handling delayed duplicates. You will explore the congestion avoidance algorithm which is applied to regulate the sending rate, based on what the network can support.
The course also covers the topics of connection establishment, handling delayed duplicates, flow control, sliding window protocols, sequence numbers, buffer management, congestion control, TCP service model, socket programming, and more. This course will be of interest to computer engineering students, networking and programming professionals, or those looking to enhance their career prospects.
