Hello, would you like to hear a TCP joke?

Edit: since no one is biting here’s the full joke

"Hi, I'd like to hear a TCP joke."
"Hello, would you like to hear a TCP joke?"
"Yes, I'd like to hear a TCP joke."
"Ok, I'll tell you a TCP joke."
"Ok, I will hear a TCP joke."
"Are you ready to hear a TCP joke?"
"Yes, I am ready to hear a TCP joke."
"Ok, I am about to send the TCP joke. It will last 10 seconds, it has two characters, it does not have a setting, it ends with a punchline."
"Ok, I am ready to get your TCP joke that will last 10 seconds, has two characters, does not have an explicit setting, and ends with a punchline."
"I'm sorry, your connection has timed out. Hello, would you like to hear a TCP joke?"

To be fair, because of window size management it only takes 1% packet loss to cause a catastrophic drop in speed.

Packet loss in TCP is only ever handled as a signal of extreme network congestion. It was never intended to go over a lossy link like wifi.

Found this in the depths of my storage. Not sure where its from but might improve the day of some people ^^

I also remember someone posting that article

Network monitoring engineers: explains for the umpteenth time that a node reporting down isn't just a single dropped packet

It's actually panic in both

Mr Krab there surely doesn't have the same customers I have, if he's so relaxed
