In the same vein as my [previous post](/2016/04/25/stack-smashing.html), I'd |
|
|
|
like to share another lecture I wrote for the honors section of the |
|
|
|
[systems programming course](https://cs.illinois.edu/courses/profile/CS241) |
|
|
|
I am a TA for. It is essentially a taste of some deeper networking concepts |
|
|
|
than we get to cover in the regular section. This includes a fairly substantial |
|
|
|
discussion of how TCP works beneath the scenes, a topic I continue to be |
|
|
|
fascinated by. |
|
|

One of the benefits of writing a lecture is that it forces you to work through |
|
|
|
your own conceptual understanding of a topic and patch holes that you won't |
|
|
|
necessarily realize exist in the first place. I can definitely say this applied |
|
|
|
here. I especially enjoy when students ask clarifying questions about some of |
|
|
|
the finer details (for this lecture, I had one about specifics of reliable |
|
|
|
transmission) as we can see what limitations the material has and where it can |
|
|
|
be improved. |
