Study Notes
TCP/IP Layers
- The TCP/IP model has four layers: Application, Transport, Internet, and Network Interface.
- The Application Layer defines applications used for requests and associated ports/sockets.
- The Transport Layer defines the type of connection (e.g., connection-oriented or connectionless) between hosts and how acknowledgements are sent.
- The Internet Layer defines protocols for addressing and routing data packets.
- The Network Interface Layer defines how the host connects to the network.
- The TCP/IP protocol was created in 1978.
- The TCP/IP model correlates with the seven-layer OSI model, as illustrated in a supplemental slide.
Port Number Assignments
- Ports 1 to 1023 are "well-known" ports.
- Ports 1024 to 49151 are registered ports.
- Ports 49152 to 65535 are private ports.
- The Application layer manages connection establishment to appropriate network ports, which are reserved by ICANN.
Common Applications and Their Port Numbers
- Table 6-3 lists common applications and their associated port numbers.
- Example applications include Telnet (port 23), FTP (ports 20 and 21), SMTP (port 25), DNS (port 53), DHCP (ports 67 and 68), TFTP (port 69), and HTTP (port 80).
Transport Layer
- Transport layer protocols (TCP and UDP) are crucial for establishing connections, managing data transfer, and terminating connections.
- TCP (Transport Control Protocol) is connection-oriented, verifying data packet delivery and handling error recovery. It establishes a connection, manages data transfer, and then terminates the connection.
- Steps in TCP connection establishment involve SYN (synchronization) packets, SYN+ACK packets, and ACK (acknowledgement) packets, typically in a three-step process.
- UDP (User Datagram Protocol) is connectionless, sending data packets without establishing a connection or requiring acknowledgments. This is useful in applications like video conferencing and audio feeds.
Initial TCP Handshake
- The initial TCP handshake involves a three-packet exchange.
- SYN (synchronization) packet from host A
- SYN+ACK (synchronization and acknowledgment) packet from host B
- ACK (acknowledgment) packet from host A
- Unique sequence numbers (SEQ#) and acknowledgments (ACK#) are used in each packet to track the transfer process.
TCP Packet Transmission
- The text describes an example of a TCP packet transmission, using a protocol analyzer, involving FTP.
TCP Handshake Packet Details
- Packet 1 (SYN) is sent from the computer initiating the connection, specifying the source (SP) and destination (DP) port numbers for the connection.
- Packet 2 (SYN+ACK) is from the destination host, acknowledging the previous request and initiating the new sequence number for the TCP connection flow.
- Packet 3 (ACK) is from the initiating computer, acknowledging receipt of the SYN+ACK packet, and confirming the connection.
TCP Port Assignments
- Port 1054 is an arbitrary port number selected by the client.
- Port 21 is the well-known port for FTP.
- TCP requires starting sequence numbers to track and route all packets and these are included in each packet exchange.
Terminating the TCP Session
- Terminating the TCP session involves a four-packet exchange.
- FIN (finish) signal from one host.
- ACK from the other host and then a FIN from the second host
- ACK of the final packet.
- An example is given.
UDP
- UDP (User Datagram Protocol) is a connectionless protocol that doesn't establish a connection or require acknowledgments.
- This is faster but has no error recovery.
- UDP is suitable for applications where speed is paramount and acknowledgment isn't necessary.
Internet Layer (IP)
- The Internet layer defines protocols for addressing and routing data packets, including IP, ARP, ICMP, and IGMP.
- IP (Internet Protocol) defines addressing for packets being delivered over an IP network. The IP address uniquely identifies the source and destination of a data packet.
- IP addresses consist of network and host addresses and these are important for routing data through the network.
- ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) maps IP addresses to hardware (MAC) addresses for final delivery of data packets within the network. An ARP request and response process is needed to find the MAC address related to a specified IP address.
- ICMP (Internet Control Message Protocol) is used to manage the network flow and for error reporting.
- Examples are ping and other connection checks.
- IGMP (Internet Group Management Protocol) handles multicasting, enabling a single source to communicate with many receivers on the network.
IGMP Protocol
- IGMP is the protocol for routing multicast data (data that is sent out from a single origin to multiple destinations).
- Multicasting uses multicast addresses, which are reserved addresses that a system can refer and use in sending multicast data.
