Across
- 2. The insertion of non-information bits into data to prevent specific patterns (like flags) from appearing in the payload, ensuring frame synchronization.
- 4. A specialized packet sent by a congested router to the source host to signal it to slow down its transmission rate.
- 5. A theoretical defense or technology that claims to solve all security problems, often used in networking to critique over-hyped security tools.
- 6. A technique where an acknowledgment for a received packet is attached to the next data frame being sent in the opposite direction.
- 7. Internals & Behaviors
- 8. A denial-of-service attack that exploits the TCP three-way handshake by sending a barrage of initial requests but never responding to the server's acknowledgment.
Down
- 1. A mechanism used to improve TCP efficiency by coalescing several small outgoing messages and sending them all at once.
- 3. An algorithm that doubles the waiting time between retries after every collision or failure, commonly used in Ethernet and CSMA/CD.
