Header Length

• What It Is: The header length indicates how long the TCP header is.
• Measurement: It’s measured in 32-bit words (4 bytes). For example, if the header
length is 5, it means the header is 5 × 4 = 20 bytes long.
• Importance: Knowing the header length helps the receiving device understand where
the actual data starts in the packet. It’s crucial for properly reading and processing the
packet.

2. Control Bit

• What It Is: Control bits are special flags in the TCP header that control the behaviour
of the connection.
• Common Control Bits:
o SYN: Used to initiate a connection.
o ACK: Indicates that data has been received successfully.
o FIN: Used to close a connection.
o RST: Resets a connection if there’s an error.
• Importance: These bits help manage the connection, ensuring data is sent and
received correctly and helping to establish or terminate connections when needed.

3. Window

• What It Is: The window size indicates how much data the sender is allowed to send
before needing an acknowledgment from the receiver.
• Measurement: It’s usually measured in bytes.
• Importance: The window size helps control the flow of data. A larger window allows
more data to be sent at once, improving efficiency, while a smaller window can help
prevent network congestion.

Summary

• Header Length tells how long the TCP header is, which helps with data processing.
• Control Bits are flags that manage the connection (like starting, acknowledging, or
closing it).
• Window specifies how much data can be sent before waiting for an acknowledgment,
helping control data flow.
