TCPhäiriöitä

TCPhäiriöitä refers to problems or malfunctions related to the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP). TCP is a core protocol of the internet protocol suite, responsible for reliable, ordered, and error-checked delivery of a stream of octets between applications running on hosts communicating by an IP network. When TCP encounters issues, it can lead to various network performance problems and connectivity failures.

Common TCPhäiriöitä include packet loss, which occurs when packets of data fail to reach their destination. This can be due to network congestion, faulty hardware, or radio interference in wireless networks. Another issue is high latency, meaning a significant delay in data transmission. This can stem from long network paths, slow routers, or overloaded network links. TCP also experiences problems related to retransmissions, where lost packets are resent, potentially leading to further congestion and increased latency.

Congestion control mechanisms within TCP, designed to prevent network collapse, can sometimes contribute to perceived problems if not properly tuned or if the network is severely overloaded. This can result in slow connection speeds or even timeouts. Connection establishment failures, such as incomplete handshakes, can prevent communication from even starting. Finally, issues with TCP windowing, which controls the amount of data that can be sent before an acknowledgment is received, can limit throughput if not configured optimally for the network conditions. Diagnosing and resolving TCPhäiriöitä often involves network monitoring tools and analysis of traffic patterns.
