Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) n n n The Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) allows for testing and troubleshooting of the TCP/IP internet layer by defining messages that can be used to determine whether the network can currently deliver packets ICMP is a required component of every IP implementation Excerpt from RFC 792: n Occasionally a gateway or destination host will communicate with a source host, for example, to report an error in datagram processing. For such purposes this protocol, the Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP), is used. ICMP uses the basic support of IP as if it were a higher level protocol; however, ICMP is actually an integral part of IP, and must be implemented by every IP module

Application and Operation of TCP Mechanisms

TCP Connections and Port Numbers n n n Two host applications using TCP must establish a TCP connection before data can flow The connection establishment process essentially initializes the source and destination ports, as well as the Sequence and Acknowledgement fields In the connection establishment phase, the two hosts select port numbers, select the Sequence and Acknowledgement fields, and use TCP code bits to identify the messages in the three-way handshake for connection establishment

Transmission Control Protocol

TCP Connections and Port Numbers n n n First, for port numbers, the server must already be listening for connection requests from clients, with those requests being to a particular well-known port—in this case, HTTP port 80. (Wellknown ports are listed at http: //www. iana. org) The client picks a currently unused port number to use as the source port, typically a value of 1024 or greater The TCP header includes several 1 -bit fields, called code bits or flags, that are used for a variety of purposes The SYN and ACK flags identify segments as either the first or second in a new TCP connection: a segment with just the SYN flag set is the first segment in a new connection, and a segment with both SYN and ACK set is the second segment in a new connection Flags allow hosts to easily recognize new connection requests.

TCP Connections and Port Numbers n n n The initial sequence numbers can be set to any valid value, and often are not set to 0 Using these fields, happens independently in both directions So, the first segment in the three-way handshake of Figure sets the left-to-right sequence number; the second segment sets the right-to-left sequence number and also acknowledges the first segment; and the third segment acknowledges the right-to-left sequence number Connection termination can be accomplished in one of several ways In most benign cases a four-segment flow, as shown in the bottom half of Figure, with the ACK and FIN flags being used
