Abstract—This paper proposes four TCP/IP protocol visualization systems for students who intend to become computer and communication engineers. Because TCP/IP protocols are the fundamental technology underlying computer networks and the Internet, communication and computer engineers must learn these protocols. However, students cannot gain experience or fully understand the protocols by traditional learning methods, such as textbooks and lectures, since these methods cannot demonstrate the various communication procedures. To solve this problem, we have been developing systems to visualize the protocols of TCP/IP with a packet capturing function.
Index Terms—TCP/IP, visualization, packet capturing.
