- ICMP provides control and error messages between routers and hosts to report issues like unreachable destinations.
- TCP ensures reliable in-order delivery through flow control, error recovery, and connection establishment/teardown.
- UDP provides simple connectionless delivery of packets but without reliability.
The document outlines the key functions and packet formats of these protocols to illustrate the layered architecture of TCP/IP.
Prime numbers
Eratosthenes was a Greek mathematician who invented a method for finding prime numbers called Eratosthenes' Sieve. The method involves starting with a list of consecutive integers from 2 to a specified number and systematically removing multiples of primes, leaving the primes. Specifically, beginning with the number 2, all multiples of 2 are crossed out, then all multiples of 3 are crossed out, and so on. The numbers that remain uncovered are the prime numbers within the selected range. This simple and effective method is still used today to identify prime numbers.
Prime numbers
Eratosthenes was a Greek mathematician who invented a method for finding prime numbers called Eratosthenes' Sieve. The method involves starting with a list of consecutive integers from 2 to a specified integer n and systematically removing multiples of primes in order to find all primes below n. Specifically, it involves crossing out multiples of 2, then multiples of 3, then multiples of 5, and so on. After removing multiples of all primes below the specified integer, the remaining numbers are all prime. Eratosthenes' Sieve provides an efficient algorithm for finding all prime numbers up to a specified integer.
