Mechanism

Follow the mechanism step by step and distinguish what causes the change from what is merely observed.

This extension applies that lens specifically to Computer Networks.

Computer Networks

Layered protocols divide communication responsibilities. Routing, congestion control, reliability and security interact across the network stack.

Core checkpoint: Measure both successful throughput and behaviour under loss or delay.
