This document provides an introduction to networking concepts like HTTP latency, DNS lookups, and TCP connections. It includes the results of experiments measuring:
- HTTP latency for loading a website on Chrome and IE, finding differences between 1-5 seconds.
- DNS lookups for the domain alaska.gov, showing the DNS query and response.
- Basic TCP connection establishment and teardown, identifying the FIN, ACK and RST, ACK packets.
The document demonstrates various networking tools and concepts through hands-on experiments and packet captures from Wireshark.
