Question 1

segment

Answer 1

PDU of transport layer

Question 2

responsibilites of transport layer

Answer 2

Track individual communications between apps on source and destination hosts.
Segmenting Data for managability and reassembly.
Indentify proper app for each communication stream.

Question 3

TCP Basic Operations of Reliability

Answer 3

Tracking transmitted data segments.
Acknowledge received data.
Retransmit any unacknowledged data

Question 4

TCP Services

Answer 4

Establishes session connections on both sides before Tx begins.
Same order delivery.
Reliable delivery.
Flow Control: manages data delivery when congested on host.

Question 5

stateful

Answer 5

refers to TCP’s ability to keep track of conversations within a session. tracks the state of the communications session.

Question 6

UDP Features

Answer 6

1. Connectionless.
2. Unreliable delivery - best-effort
3. No ordered data reconstrunction.
4. No flow control.

Question 7

port numbers

Answer 7

values that allow a system to distinguish between multiple apps over a single connection.

socket

Answer 8

combination of IP address and port number.

Question 24

netstat use on transport layer

Answer 24

used to display TCP connections.

Question 25

Three Way Handshake

Answer 25

1. Establish that destination is present on network 2. Verifies that destination has active services and is accepting requests with the port initiating client is using. 3. Inform destination that source intends to establish commnication session on that port.

Question 26

3 Steps in TCP 3 way handshake

Answer 26

1. Source requests source to dest. session with server.(SYN) 2. Dest. acknowledges request and request destination to source session.(ACK,SYN) 3. Source acknowledges dest to source session.(ACK)

Question 27

TCP Process Fields

Answer 27

``` URG -urgent PSH - push function SYN - synchronize sequence numbers ACK - acknowledge field significant RST - reset connection FIN - no more data from sender. ```

Question 28

FIN Flag Notes

Answer 28

Used to terminate session | Each side must send FIN and acknowledge the other side's FIN.

Question 29

Termination Handshake

Answer 29

Source: Sends FIN Dest: responds with ACK , FIN Source: respongs to Dest FIN with ACK.

Question 30

initial sequence number

Answer 30

initial value for bytes for this session Tx'd to receiving application. - this sequence # is incremented by # of bytes Tx'd - provides unique sequence # for reassembling segment. -SEQ and ACK used to create: SEQ1 ACK1 : sends 10 bytes: Dest: SEQ1 ACK11(dest tells source it expects next value of 11)

Question 31

window size

Answer 31

the amount of data that can beTx'd by the source before an ACK must be received: 16 bit field in header

Question 32

SACKS

Answer 32

Selective acknowledgement system. system used on both sides of comms. that allow only missing segments to be re Tx'd

Question 33

UDP

Answer 33

User Datagram Protocol - transaction based: means sends the data when it needs to regardless of connection on other side. - reassembles in order received: lets applications resequence if necessary.

Question 34

UDP Candidates

Answer 34

1. Can tolerate loss, but little or no delay. 2. Applications with simple request/reply transactions. 3. Unidirectional comm. where reliability is not required or can be handled by application
