Summary of classical RFC topics of TCP protocol

Although Richard's book is good, what he wants to express is to let you know. For those who want to be proficient in TCP, it is far from enough. You still need more time to understand why, and reading the RFC document is the best way, in this way, you will understand why TCP is designed.

The RFC document corresponding to the TCP core topic is summarized here for your convenience. :)

RFC serial number	Topic	Description
793	TCP standard	The original TCP standard definition does not include TCP-related operation details
813	TCP window and validation Policy	Discuss the window validation mechanism and describe the problems and solutions encountered when using this mechanism.
879	Maximum TCP segment size and related topics	Discuss the importance of MSs parameter in controlling the TCP group size and the relationship between this parameter and the IP segment size.
896	IP/TCP network interconnection Congestion Control	Discuss the congestion problem and how TCP controls congestion
1122	Network host requirements-communication layer	Discuss how TCP is implemented in the host
1146	Optional TCP checksum options	Specification for TCP devices using optional checksum Methods
1323	TCP extension with High Performance	Define TCP extension and new options in high-speed networks
2018	TCP selection confirmation	The enhancement of basic TCP functions discusses how TCP devices can selectively specify specific fields for retransmission.
2525	Known TCP Problems	Describes some TCP problems that are currently known.
2581	TCP congestion control	Describes four mechanisms used for congestion control: slow start, congestion defense, fast retransmission, and fast recovery.
2988	TCP retransmission timer Calculation	This article discusses the topic related to TCP retransmission timer settings. The retransmission timer controls the length of time a message should wait before retransmission.
