00:05 HTTP is the backbone of web development
00:55 HTTP and HTTPS are network protocols that define different operations on a server
01:43 TLS provides encryption and authentication for secure websites.
02:30 Al Quick minimizes lag and ensures faster connection setup
03:12 WebSocket enables seamless real-time collaboration and live data streams.
04:02 TCP and UDP are essential transport layer protocols for many application protocols. TCP provides reliability while UDP provides optimized performance.
04:52 TCP and UDP are network protocols that provide different trade-offs between reliability and speed.
05:39 SMTP and FTP are important network protocols for email messaging and file transfer.

the visuals and explanations are just top notch.

I’m familiar with all the acronyms but a reminder about what each stands for might be useful - likewise mentioning TCP and UDP before explaining what they are might have been a better starting point - just some feedback 👍

Best video in Network protocols; Visually, Explaination wise, and Content wise. Love it❤💯

[luisxd]

Wow, amazing video with such amazing animations and explanations, thanks
You've got a new suscriber

[linnashton]

Very condensed, well put together. THank you Sahn

This video showed me that there is still a lot to learn, thank you very much for sharing

Is http3 support websocket upgrade?
Can we use regular websocket servers over new http3?

I just have one issue with the FTP, even in banks SFTP has replaced FTP for pretty much everything. I would have expected to see SFTP rather than FTP. But I'd say SSH/SCP would probably be more used, not in data volume but certainly in numbers of connections made as in most professional setting multi-part downloads are not common on SFTP though they do happen most enterprise SFTP servers deny such requests.

Wonderful, outstanding, really well presented, thanks.

[mohammadnematollahi]

Hey sahn, I met you today and I want to see all your discussions, you are wonderful.

[samjones]

Thank you for another great, simple and concise explanation of these critical protocols! Your showcases are always top notch! Cheers!

[KeithSader]

I thought http was an application protocol, not a network protocol. Has something changed in the OSI model? This is covered later in the video but it's confusing with the video title IMO.

[ravishankarmittal]

Great Explanation with the easiest example. Good Work

[Nerdimo]

I like the video and the information provided, but it really could’ve helped if you provided the meaning behind the acronyms for the protocols. For example, http being hyper-text transfer protocol could’ve made understanding what it does more intuitive.

Another very nice video. Thanks Sahn Lam!

[vedantamitpandya]

On which platform you guys are creating this system design architectures?

[davidnhantv]

Great video, it help me clear about network protocols

[lazaracamilagenerosodemora]

So beautiful your work, thank u so much.
