1
Q

Port

A
  • Unique indentification number used to direct incoming packets to appropriate service or application
  • Multiple can be run simultaneously
  • 0-1023 are preassigned to well known server applications
  • Others must be assigned to applications to track requests

Q

Socket

A
  • Port number used in conjunction with source IP.
  • Each socket is bound to software purpose.
  • Only one process can operate a socket at a given time
  • Connection is formed when client socket requests service from server socket.
  • Server socket can serve a number of client sockets.

TCP

A

Transmission Control Protocol

  • Works at Transport layer to provide connection-orients, guaranteed communications with acknowledgements confirm delivery.
  • Can be used for Unicast only
  • Missing packets can be resent

Q

Sequence Number

A
  • Part of TCP segment header

Q

ack number

A
  • Part of TCP segment header
  • Sequence number of next segment expected from other host
  • allows for retransmission of missing data
  • Negative Acknowledgment (NAK or NACK) forces retransmission

Window

A
  • Part of TCP segment header
  • Amount of data host is willing to receive before sending another ack
  • TCPs flow control can slow down traffic if one side is getting overwhelmed

Q

Checksum

A
  • Part of TCP segment header
  • Ensures validity of segment
  • Calculated on the TCP header and payload but also part of IP header (source and destination addresses)
  • Process is different to calculate for IPV4 and v6

Options

A
  • Allows further connection parameters to be configured
  • Most important is Maximum Segment Size
  • Allows host to specify the size of segments to minimize fragmentation

Q

TCP Teadown 1

Study These Flashcards
A
  1. Client sends FIN segment to server and enters FIN-WAIT1 state
20
Q

TCP Teardown 2

Study These Flashcards
A

Server responds with an ACK segments and enters CLOSE-WAIT state

21
Q

TCP Teardown 3

Study These Flashcards
A
  • Client receives the ACK segment and enters FIN-WAIT2 state.
  • Server sends its own FIN segment to the client and goes to the LAST-ACK state
22
Q

TCP Teardown 4

Study These Flashcards
A
  • Client responds with an ACK and enters TIME-WAIT state. After a defined period, client closes its connection
23
Q

TCP Teardown 5

Study These Flashcards
A
  • Serve cloes connection when it recieves ACK form client
24
Q

RST segment

Study These Flashcards
A
  • Can be used to end TCP sessions abruptly
  • Not typical behavior and should be investigated
  • Could be a faulty application or a sign of suspicious scanning activity
25
UDP
User Datagram Protocol - Works on Transport Layer - Connectionless, not a guaranteed method of communication - No acknowledgments or flow control - Used to send small amounts of data in each packet - Used by application layer protocols to send multicast and broadcast traffic - Also used for time-sensitive data that do not need complete reliability, voice, and video. - Faster overall delivery
