Overview of TCP/IP protocols Comparing TCP and UDP TCP connection: establishment, data transfer, and termination Allocation of port numbers Size matters: MTU, datagram, MSS, buffer Standard Internet services and applications Debugging techniques and tools

Overview of TCP/IP Protocols
4
Comparing TCP and UDP
5
TCP Connection: Establishment Three-way handshake
6
TCP Options Three common TCP options (sent in SYN) : MSS option: The maximum segment size that can be received 65,535 (16 bits for the widow size field in the TCP header) is the upper limit Window scale option: To allow the advertised widow size to be scaled (left-shift) 0-14 bits. MSS can thus reach up to 65,355 x 2 14 bytes Timestamp option: May be used for high-speed connections to prevent possible data corruption caused by old, delayed, or duplicated segments

TCP Connection: Data Transfer

TCP Connection: Termination Four-way handshake

TCP State Transition Diagram
10
TIME_WAIT State Its duration is twice the MSL (maximum segment lifetime), sometimes called 2MSL MSL may be 30 seconds, 1 minute, or 2 minutes Two reasons for the TIME_WAIT state : To implement TCP ’ s full duplex connection termination reliably To give TCP enough time to handle the loss of any of the last four segments To allow old duplicate segments to expire in the network To prevent old duplicates being misinterpreted as belonging to a new incarnation of the same connection 10
11
Illustrating the First Reason
12
Allocation of Port Numbers
13
Socket Pair 4-tuple that defines the two endpoints of a connection The local IP address, local TCP port, foreign IP address, and foreign TCP port Uniquely identifies every TCP connection on the Internet
14
A Concurrent Server Server ’ s socket pair
15
Connect Request from Client to Sever
16
TCP must look at all four elements in the socket pair to determine which endpoint receives an arriving segment
17
TCP Output and UDP Output 17
18
Size Matters Maximum IP datagrams : IPv4: 65,535; IPv6: 65,575 (without jumbo payload option) Link MTU (maximum transmission unit) : Ethernet: 1,500; FDDI: 4,325; PPP: configurable Path MTU: The smallest MTU in the path between two hosts 1,500 is the popular one today Path MTU may be asymmetric between two hosts, due to possibly different route in each direction TCP MSS (maximum segment size) It is subject to the reassembly buffer size at two hosts However, it is often the link MTU minus IP & TCP headers 18
19
Buffer Sizes and Limitations Link MTU (maximum transmission unit): Ethernet MTU: 1500 bytes, PPP MTU: configurable Path MTU: the smallest link MTU in the path, can be discovered by IPv4 DF (don ’ t fragment) bit
20
TCP Output and UDP Output
21
TCP Output The write blocks if no room in the socket send buffer The kernel will not return from the write until the final byte in the application buffer has been copied into the socket send buffer Successful return from a write only tells us that we can reuse our application buffer TCP must keep a copy of our data until it is acknowledged by the peer
22
UDP Outputs UDP socket has a send buffer size but no real buffer If application ’ s datagram > send buffer size, an error message is returned UDP need not keep a copy of our data A successful return from a write to a UDP socket tells us the datagram has been added to the data link output queue An error message will be generated if there is no room in the data link output queue
