1. The goal of Directed Research

2. Implementing transport layer protocols

    1) "stop-n-wait" protocol
    2) "sliding window" protocol
    3) "slow start" protocol
    4) stop-n-wait vs. sliding-window
    5) sliding-window vs. slow-start

3. TCP characteristics

    1) slow start
    2) multiplicative decrease
    3) fast retransmit

4. Sliding Window Protocol Implementation

5. Bugs

6. About vint, ns and nam..
