TCP Overview window
Transmission control protocol (TCP) fits in the Transport layer (layer 4) of the OSI model, above the Internet
Protocol (IP). It is among the most widely used protocols in the TCP/IP suite. The T-DAC TCP subsystem
provides management information in the form of TCP parameters and operating statistics. Managing the TCP
subsystem involves monitoring the TCP parameters and statistics.
Note
You can download detailed information about the SNMP MIB vari-
ables for the TCP subsystem from RFC1213: Management Informa-
tion Base for Network Management of TCP/IP-based internets: MIB-II.
To display the TCP Overview window, on the IP Overview window (see figure 102 on page 183), click the
TCP… link.
The TCP Overview window (see figure 111) provide the means for you to manage the T-DAC’s TCP sub-
system. The TCP Overview window displays the current values of certain TCP operating parameters and TCP
operating statistics. The TCP Overview window includes a Details hyperlink (see figure 111) to the TCP
Details window, as shown in figure 112.
