    Excellent explanation! You should totally write a book about networking.
  • @ricp
    man... these explanations are awesome!! so much detail, context, and well organized. Thanks so much for uploading this, sir.
  • You explained this so good!! Thank you, loved the analogy with the car highway made it so much more clearer
  • @user679jk7
    What a nice explanation on this compare to other videos. Thank you!

    it's 6am, I've got a networking test at 8am, you saved me man
  • Sir does this mean that multiple processes can share the same tcp port ?
  • @kralalem2121
    Hello sir, at the end of the video you said for the UDP demultiplexing, only destination port number is required but I think destination ip address is also required for connectionless demultiplexing
  • @sahilmishra7589
    12:43 the source port for ip address C must be same in both process p2 and p3 which is 5775 but in p3 source port is written of port A 9157

    What happens when 2 distinct processes on a machine accidentally use the same UDP port?
  • At the end if the port number is 80 for all sockets within the server how can the server distinguish which socket can receive the data?
  • @krishnaas5927
    In the case when UDP is used, If many clients have the same dest port no. say 80 then they would goto the same socket in the destination server right? if so how would the server distinguish between the different packets received as obviously they are from different sources however in UDP only dest port and IP is mentioned, unlike TCP where src port and ip is also included.
  • @turkersubasi
    can anyone help me? On UDP protocol how does sender knows the destination port number?
