Advanced Network Architecture
Like Duolingo, but for Advanced Network Architecture. Tomo turns the whole topic into a game you play five minutes a day, until it actually sticks.
For the part of you with thirty open tabs that never became anything.
24 levels across 3 sections, about 48 minutes end to end, roughly 10 days at five minutes a day. It moves through High-Performance Transport, Global Routing & SDN, and Observability & Modern Security.

Key ideas in Advanced Network Architecture
- BBR ignores non-congestive packet loss
- Cubic's window growth function
- Loss-based protocols interpret loss as congestion
- The plateau region near W_max
- BBR operates at the Kleinrock point
- Cubic is TCP-friendly on low-BDP links
- ECN uses CE bits to signal stress
- CoDel manages queues based on standing delay
- ECE and CWR flags facilitate feedback
- BBR ignores non-congestive loss
- ECN requires end-to-end support
- Bufferbloat increases RTT
- AQM algorithms keep the good queue small
- The signaling sequence of ECN
- AQM and CoDel roles
- BBR's aggressive probing can lead to unfairness when competing with loss-based flows like Cubic
You've tried the other tabs
Thirty open tabs. Four facts you actually kept.
You watched. You nodded. By Sunday it was gone.
One answer, then back to scrolling.
Eight weeks. You meant to finish. You didn't.
Tomo gives Advanced Network Architecture the Duolingo treatment: levels, streaks, and quick quizzes that test what you just learned. That game loop is what the tabs above never had, so it's the one you actually finish.
Here's what playing it feels like
A real question from this course. Take your best guess.
Imagine a satellite link where 1% of packets vanish due to cosmic noise, not a full buffer. How does BBR handle this?
