  2. Handshake (computing) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Handshake_(computing)

    Handshaking is a technique of communication between two entities. However, within TCP/IP RFCs, the term "handshake" is most commonly used to reference the TCP three-way handshake. For example, the term "handshake" is not present in RFCs covering FTP or SMTP. One exception is Transport Layer Security, TLS, setup, FTP RFC 4217.

  3. Transmission Control Protocol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transmission_Control_Protocol

    The window scale option is used only during the TCP 3-way handshake. The window scale value represents the number of bits to left-shift the 16-bit window size field when interpreting it. The window scale value can be set from 0 (no shift) to 14 for each direction independently.

  4. Multipath TCP - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multipath_TCP

    Multipath TCP adds new mechanisms to TCP transmissions: The subflow system, used to gather multiple standard TCP connections (the paths from one host to another). Subflows are identified during the TCP three-way handshake. After the handshake, an application can add or remove some subflows (subtypes 0x3 and 0x4).

  5. TCP offload engine - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TCP_offload_engine

    TCP is a connection-oriented protocol which adds complexity and processing overhead. These aspects include: Connection establishment using the "3-way handshake" (SYNchronize; SYNchronize-ACKnowledge; ACKnowledge). Acknowledgment of packets as they are received by the far end, adding to the message flow between the endpoints and thus the ...

  6. TCP Fast Open - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TCP_Fast_Open

    In computer networking, TCP Fast Open (TFO) is an extension to speed up the opening of successive Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) connections between two endpoints. It works by using a TFO cookie (a TCP option), which is a cryptographic cookie stored on the client and set upon the initial connection with the server. [ 1 ]

  7. Sockstress - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sockstress

    Create a connection to a listening socket and upon 3 way handshake (inside last ACK) send 0 window. syn -> (4k window) <- syn+ack (32k window) ack -> (0 window) Now the server will have to "probe" the client until the zero window opens up. This is the most simple of the attack types to understand.

  8. Maximum segment size - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maximum_segment_size

    The default TCP Maximum Segment Size is for IPv4 is 536. For IPv6 it is 1220. [1]: §3.7.1 Where a host wishes to set the maximum segment size to a value other than the default, the maximum segment size is specified as a TCP option, initially in the TCP SYN packet during the TCP handshake. The value cannot be changed after the connection is ...

  9. Stateful firewall - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stateful_firewall

    TCP is a connection-oriented protocol [4] and sessions are established with a three-way handshake using SYN packets and ended by sending a FIN notification. [5] The firewall can use these unique connection identifiers to know when to remove a session from the state table without waiting for a timeout.
