TCP is a connection-oriented Layer 4 protocol that provides full-duplex, acknowledged, and flow-controlled service to upper-layer protocols. It moves data in a continuous, unstructured byte stream.

From there, you can do the next trick, which is to look at the flow graph of a TCP connection. The flow graph feature shows a sender and a receiver view of the packet flow.

This study offers a new cross-layer technique for improving Transmission Control Protocol (TCP)performance in wireless networks by removing the bottleneck of packet losses through flow control and ...
