    Study Notes

    TCP/IP Layers

    • The TCP/IP model has four layers: Application, Transport, Internet, and Network Interface.
    • The Application Layer defines the applications used for processing requests and the ports/sockets utilized.
    • The Transport Layer defines the type of connection between hosts and how acknowledgments are handled.
    • The Internet Layer defines protocols for addressing and routing data packets.
    • The Network Interface Layer defines how the host connects to the network.
    • TCP/IP protocol developed in 1978, predates the OSI model.
    • The layers of TCP/IP correlate to seven layers of the OSI model.
    • Table 6-1 shows the TCP/IP model layers and their purposes.
    • Each layer's purpose is described in detail in the respective layer notes.

    Port Number Assignments

    • Ports are used by applications for network connections.
    • Port numbers are assigned by ICANN (Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers).
    • Ports 1-1023 are "well-known" ports. Ports 1024-49151 are registered ports. And ports 49152-65535 are private ports.
    • Table 6-2 illustrates the port number assignments.
    • Table 6-3 displays common applications and their corresponding port numbers.

    Transport Layer

    • Transport Layer protocols are critical for network connection establishment, data delivery, and session termination.
    • Two main protocols within this layer are TCP and UDP.
    • TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) is a connection-oriented protocol. It establishes the connection, manages data transfer, and terminates the connection. It includes error checking and recovery of lost data, along with specifying termination procedures.
    • UDP (User Datagram Protocol) is a connectionless protocol. Data packets are sent without prior connection establishment, and without verifying delivery. UDP is helpful for applications like streaming media.

    TCP Connection Handshake

    • Setting up a TCP connection involves a three-step handshake: SYN, SYN+ACK, and ACK packets.
    • These packets are exchanged between two hosts (illustrated in Figures 6-8 and 6-9).
    • The first packet sent is SYN from host A to B. The return packet SYN+ACK acknowledges host A's packet. Finally, host A acknowledges host B's SYN+ACK packet with ACK.
    • Figure 6-10 shows a TCP packet transmission captured using a protocol analyzer.

    TCP Connection Termination

    • The TCP connection is terminated using a 4-step process
    • Host A sends a FIN (finish) packet to host B, indicating completion of data transmission.
    • Host B acknowledges the reception of the FIN packet with an ACK packet
    • Host B then sends a FIN packet to Host A.
    • Host A acknowledges Host B's FIN packet with an ACK.

    UDP

    • UDP (User Datagram Protocol) is a connectionless protocol that doesn't require a dedicated connection or packet acknowledgment before sending.
    • UDP packets are transported without establishing a connection and without verifying delivery.

    The Internet Layer

    • The Internet Layer defines protocols for data packet addressing and routing within a TCP/IP network.
    • Key Protocols in this layer include IP, ARP, ICMP, and IGMP.

    IP (Internet Protocol)

    • IP (Internet Protocol) is responsible for addressing data packets for delivery across an IP network.
    • An IP address has a network portion (like an area code) and a host portion (like a local exchange number). The network portion directs the data to the correct network and the host portion identifies the destination computer within that network.

    ARP (Address Resolution Protocol)

    • ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) is used to translate IP addresses into hardware addresses (MAC addresses).
    • ARP requests are sent out on a network to locate the hardware address associated with a specific IP address. The destination host replies with its MAC address in an ARP reply.

    ICMP (Internet Control Message Protocol)

    • ICMP (Internet Control Message Protocol) controls data flow, handles errors, and provides diagnostics in a network.
    • ICMP provides a mechanism for reporting errors and diagnostics in IP networks, including 'source-quench' for requesting a slowdown of data transfer, and 'ping'.

    IGMP (Internet Group Management Protocol)

    • IGMP (Internet Group Management Protocol) is used for multicasting, enabling a host to send data to multiple destination hosts simultaneously.
    • Multicast addresses are reserved for IGMP.

    Network Interface Layer

    • The Network Interface Layer controls the physical connection between a host and its network (e.g., Ethernet, Token-Ring, Frame Relay, ATM).
    • The TCP/IP protocol is not tied to any specific networking technology, making it adaptable to various technologies.
