Understanding Handshaking & Flow Control 💡 | Computer Organization Lecture

Описание: Handshaking 🤝 | Communication Protocols for Synchronized Data Transfer | COA Lecture by Sheikh Amir

In this lecture from Learning with Sheikh Amir, we explore Handshaking, a fundamental concept in computer organization and digital communication that ensures smooth and synchronized data transfer between devices.

Handshaking involves a series of signal exchanges between sender and receiver to establish, manage, and terminate communication sessions — preventing data loss and ensuring reliable transfer.

💡 In This Video, You’ll Learn:

What is Handshaking?

Types: Manual & Automatic Handshaking

How Start-Stop and Flow Control handshaking work

The Three-Way Handshake process (SYN, SYN-ACK, ACK) in TCP/IP

Applications in Serial Communication, Networking, and Peripheral Devices

Advantages and Disadvantages of Handshaking

🧠 Core Concepts Explained

🤝 Definition
Handshaking is a synchronization protocol that coordinates data transfer between devices, ensuring both sender and receiver are ready before communication begins.

📋 Handshake Protocol Steps
1️⃣ Request — Sender requests permission to send data.
2️⃣ Acknowledge — Receiver confirms readiness.
3️⃣ Data Transfer — Actual transmission occurs.
4️⃣ Termination — Communication session ends safely.

🔄 Three-Way Handshake (TCP/IP)
1️⃣ Client sends SYN
2️⃣ Server replies SYN-ACK
3️⃣ Client sends ACK to confirm connection

✅ Flow Control Mechanisms

XON/XOFF (Software Flow Control)

RTS/CTS (Hardware Flow Control)

📘 Applications of Handshaking

🔌 Serial Communication
Ensures data synchronization between devices like keyboards, modems, and microcontrollers.

🌐 Networking
Used in TCP/IP protocols to establish reliable connections between systems (e.g., Internet communication).

🖨️ Peripheral Devices
Used in communication between CPUs and devices like printers or disk drives.

⚙️ Advantages

✅ Reliable and synchronized data transfer
✅ Effective flow control prevents buffer overflow
✅ Reduces data errors and loss

⚠️ Disadvantages

⚖️ Increased overhead due to control signals
🧩 Added complexity in protocol management

🎯 Why It Matters

Handshaking ensures synchronized, reliable communication between devices — a cornerstone of efficient computer organization and system design.
Understanding this concept is essential for anyone studying COA, digital communication, or computer networks.
