TCP & UDP/IP TCP/IP Model Protocol consists of 4 layers. APPLICATION LAYER (Application, Presentation, Session) TRANSPORT LAYER HTT P SMTP TCP INTERNET LAYER (Network Layer) NETWORK INTERFACE LAYER (Data link, Physical) DNS RTP UDP IP Network Interface 1 Network Interface 2 Network Interface 3 TCP/IP Protocol Graph The hourglass shape of the TCP/IP protocol is what makes this protocol very powerful.

Application Layer (TCP/IP Model) Provide services that can be used by other applications. It incorporates functions of the top three OSI model. Examples protocol: HTTP (Hyper Text Transfer Protocol) Publishing and receiving HTML pages SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) Sending E-mails towards a server. DNS (Domain Name Service) Helps to map ASCII strings to IP addresses. RTP (Real-Time Transfer Protocol) Delivering Audio and Video over the Internet.

Transport Layer (TCP/IP Model) Offers 2 basic services: TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) UDP (User Datagram Protocol) TCP UDP • Connection Oriented Transfer • Connectionless Oriented (must establish a connection Transfer. before data is transferred) • Apply error recovery and flow • No flow control or message control. sequencing. • Concerned with applications that need reliable connections that require quick delivery but i. e. minimize message bit error, have tolerance to some yet delayed is increased. information loss. • Examples of application i. e. minimize delay, yet protocols running on top of TCP: message bit error is increased HTTP, SMTP • Examples of application

Internet Layer (TCP/IP Model) Bus Networks Assume 2 BUS topology networks connected by router. The router is the gateway for each network to the other one. Station (1. 1) will send data to station 2. 3. Next Hop station is the first station will receive the data from the Tx. Interface is the station in the network domain that will send to the next hop or the Rx station. Router knows that address (1. x) is in network 1 and (2. x) is in network 2

Network Interface Layer (TCP/IP Model) Automatic Resolution Protocol: A protocol that determines/ requests the physical MAC layer of a node when only its IP address is known. Within the same network data are forwarded to destination using MAC address (Physical address). If any station changes it IP address, it can be still recognized.

HTTP EXAMPLE SUMMARY Cleo. guc. edu. eg CNN. com HTTP TCP IP Frame is an IP datagram Ethernet HTTP Send HTTP Request to CNN. com Establish a connection to 2. 3 at port 80 Open TCP connection to 2. 3 port 80 IP datagram is a TCP segment for port 80 Send IP data-gram to Send a datagram (which contains a connection Send IP datagram to 2. 3 IP 2. 3 request) to 2. 3 Send the datagram to 1. 4 Send Ethernet frame to 3 f Ethernet Router C 1. 4 Frame is an IP datagram Ethernet TCP IP Send the datagram Ethernet to 2. 3 Router C Send Ethernet frame 2. 3 to 1 g

Encapsulation in TCP/IP model & De-capsulation Data Frame header Data Transpo rt header Transpo Network rt header Data Segment Data Packet Data Frame header 1010111010001011011001 Frame Bits Protocol Data Unit (PDU) is the generic description to what’s known as segments in transport layer, packets in network layer and frames in data link layer. Packet is the logical grouping of information that includes a header containing control information and data. And it is often interchanged with PDU, segment, datagram, frame. .

Peer – Peer Communication Protocol Data Units (PDUs) Piece of data exchanged between peer entities. A GENERIC DESCRITPTON TO WHAT IS KNOWN AS SEGMENT, PACKET or FRAME. Service Data Units (SDUs) Piece of data handed to a layer by an upper layer PDU = SDU + optional header or trailer Service Access Point (SAP) Interface between an upper layer and a lower layer. An SAP has an address that uniquely identifies where the service can be accessed.

Peer – Peer Communication cont’d Data sent from Layer n+1 <-> Layer n Contact Point In layer n Data sent from layer n <-> layer n

Packet Tracer PT has 2 modes: Real time mode; in which networking protocol operate with realistic timings. Simulation mode; you can watch your network run at a slower pace, observing the path that packets take and inspecting them in detail. You can graphically create PDU [Add Simple PDU (ping) or Add Complex PDU] You can allow a scenario to be simulated either dynamically using [Auto Capture/Play] and pause it by repressing [Auto Capture/Play] or manually running the step forward one step in time by pressing [Capture/Forward] You can record or capture what happens as your PDU propagate through the network [Event List]

Packet Tracer Ping : A computer Network tool used to test whether a particular host is reachable across an IP network. In Packet tracer, the Add Simple PDU button is essentially a quick, graphical way to send oneshot pings.

Packet Tracer Packet Sniffer/ Protocol Analyzer: A computer software that can intercept and log data traffic passing over a data network. As data streams travel back and forth over the network, the sniffer "captures" each protocol data unit (PDU) and can decode and analyze its content One of Packet Tracer features is it works as Software Protocol Analyzer or Packet Sniffer - Simulation mode in Packet Tracer captures all network traffic flowing through the entire network but only supports a limited number of protocols. Other packet sniffers software: Wireshark, nytimes

Packet Tracer Activities Activity 3 - Objectives: Explore how PT uses the OSI Model and TCP/IP Proto Creating a Simple PDU (test packet) Switching from Real-time to Simulation Mode Examine Packet Processing and Contents Accessing the PDU Information Window, OSI Mode Investigating Device algorithms in the OSI Model V Inbound and Outbound PDUs Animations of packet Flow

Packet Tracer Activities Activity 4 - Objectives: Capture a ping from a PC command prompt. Run the simulation and capture the traffic. Examine the captured traffic. Capture a web request using a URL from a PC. Run the simulation and capture the traffic. Examine the captured traffic.
