Question

A common protocol stack used by many applications is to use TCP at the transport
layer and IP at the network layer. The ICMP protocol is also used to report on
problems encountered by IP.
a. The IP protocol provides a service referred to as "best effort". Describe the
services of the IP protocol, and potentially ICMP protocol, with respect to
flow control (ensuring the sender does not overwhelm the receiver).
b. Describe the service TCP provides with respect to flow control and explain
the mechanisms it uses to overcome the deficiencies of IP.

Expert Solution

Step 1

Step 1:-

Introduction:-

TCP stands for a connection-oriented protocol. In this, if the sender wants to send the data to the receiver then it first asked the receiver that he is available to accept the data or not.

if the receiver said he had busy then the sender wit till the receiver get free. When the receiver accepts the request from the sender then

i) the sender makes the connection between the sender and receiver
ii) sends the data

iii) receives the acknowledgment from the receiver that the data is received by the receiver properly or not.

The receiver does not get the data in order but because of TCP protocol data is organized in order.
