I watched end to end in one go and I learned more about the data transmission than during a whole semester in uni. Awesome series!

Gotta say, I've learned more from this 13 part series in one night than I could have in weeks of looking up information elsewhere. The information was presented in such a clear and concise way, with very easy to understand explanations. Absolutely fantastic work!

I simply LOVE when you show the practical usage of the theory you made. And the practical usage is the same of the theory you used, I mean, the IP's, seq numbers, all matching up, makes it waaaay easier to understand.

I have a textbook, an instructor's lecture and office hours, his slides, and it just didn't click until I saw this. Your excellent explanation saved me a lot of time and energy. Thanks a bunch.

First of all, thank you for this fantastic series. It is really well-put.

One minor nit about this video specifically: when choosing the initial SEQ numbers in handshake, while it makes sense to set them to some small readable value, it would probably make more sense to make them different to avoid possible confusion/magic number syndrome. Say, client's SEQ = 0, server's SEQ = 100.

Videos published 9 years ago, and relevant to this day. Awesome series!

This has been the first large scale networking explanation that has actually made *clear* sense to me; most that I've seen explain a few aspects well but leave confusion when bringing it all together. Thank you so much for making this videos!

I don't know what it is about Ben's way of explaining things, but I just get it no matter how complicated the thing is.
I tried learning this stuff before and it was daunting and hard. But I just binged this entire thing in one go and I understand the basics of networking now.
Thanks Ben!

TCP connections are like marriage counseling exercises. "I affirm and acknowledge your feelings." "I acknowledge your acknowledgement of my feelings." "I acknowledge that you acknowledge my acknowledgement."

This series was absolutely incredible. High school student interested in conputer science and this was incredibly informative as easy to follow. Amazing how you worked your way up from wire to TCP. Thanks so much

Hey Ben, I am currently a college undergrad, with no job and terrible GPA, I lost all my interest in studies because of the terrible teachers I had and ofcourse my attitude of not feeling motivated towards anything. These 13 Videos made me think of how beautiful things can really be, finally starting to get back to the right track.

Better fail then never try..
Thanks Man!

I feel compelled to let you know sir that I have been studying c.s. for a while now. You are by far the best person I have found yet that can explain things (not just in this particular video) in such a way that I feel I can thouroughly understand. I would like to sincerely like to thank you very much for taking the time to produce so much content, that in my eyes is valuable as gold, and FREELY share it.
THANK YOU, please continue to make more content. I would be particularly interested in your take on 2020 /19 networking concepts as we all know our connection are be listened to, I would love to hear you perspective.

Really great playlist, learnt a lot, these are exact the tutorials I was searching.

[nuiben]

This series is one of the best things I've seen on the internet in a long while

[jaimeorjuela]

I'm a teacher of Computer Networking in Colombia and I've been seeing your networking tutorial. Let me you say that all of these videos are amazing, absolutely clear and well explained. So I wanna use those for my e-learning classes but not all of my students are bilingual, so I'd like to ask your permission for publish the translation in Spanish of these tutorial.

[anamikaghosh]

Well, I have to say, for a lazy person like me, it's amazing how I watched the entire playlist at one stretch even though I know nothing of computer science. Thank You for this. I was completely confused as to where to start. This gave me a pretty good view.

The philosophies of ben eater reveal themselves in the writings... “Wireshark is nice because, ” “Wireshark is nice enough to, ” “Does this really nice thing.” He is trying to tell us of the importance of gratitude for a healthy mind. Congratulations, you’ve created scripture.

[samiaghezal]

Simple, straight to the point, 100% value, 0% BS.

Thank you!

[bedwarrir]

Such a cool series. Thanks so much! It's incredible how much data is being sent and decoded all over the world....
