TCP/IP

Introduction
TCP stands for Transmission control protocol while IP stands for Internet protocol. They are merged together to form the Internet protocol suit which is a model for networking which consists of communication protocols which are used for internet and other similar networks. This protocol suite was designed and developed by the Department of Defense (DoD). It was developed in order to connect different networks which were designed by different vendors. By use of TCP/IP, several computers on small network in a department can use these protocols in conjunction with other protocols on a single LAN. In this protocol suite, the IP components helps in routing form the small LAN in that department to regional and also to the global internet. TCP/IP is made up of layers which enable it to perform its tasks. The IP part is responsible of moving packet from one node to the other based on the destination IP address. This IPs are mainly assigned by the internet authorities to service providers and thus making it easier for computers to communicate because the IPs assigned to them makes them unique and thus packets can move from source to destination all over the world. The TCP part is responsible of verification and also correct delivery of data from a client ti the server. It helps in detecting errors or even the lost data. It also has the ability to trigger retransmission of data so that it can be correctly be received in its original format.
TCP/IP is composed of four layers. All this layers are meant to provide different functionalities in order for the packets to reach their destination. The diagram below represents a TCP/IP protocol. In this diagram, it clearly shows the TCP/I...

...ocol. This is a protocol used in moving the web pages successfully across the internet. In order to guarantee and orderly and correct delivery of data, it depends on TCP in the network.
SNMP – This is a protocol which helps in managing and monitoring systems in a network. It defines a method to send queries and commands from a client to a server and also collecting responses together with unsolicited notifications of an event. It uses UDP to send traffic due to its simplicity plus low overhead.

In conclusion, this research has established that development of the TCP / IP protocol was a major step in improving communication between systems. It provided many applications which run on the protocol and thus providing many services that were not available before. It is therefore important to make use of these services in order to provide quality communication.

    The internet works on the basis that some computers act as ‘servers’. These computers offer services for other computers that are accessing or requesting information, these are known as ‘clients’. The term “server” may refer to both the hardware and software (the entire computer system) or just the software that performs the service. For example, Web server may refer to the Web server software in a computer that also runs other applications or it may refer to the computer system dedicated only to the Web server applicant. For example, a large Web site could have several dedicated Web servers or one very large Web server.

    In this lab, we used Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) which is a connection oriented protocol, to demonstrate congestion control algorithms. As the name itself describes, these algorithms are used to avoid network congestion. The algorithms were implemented in three different scenarios i.e. No Drop Scenario, Drop_Fast Scenario and Drop_NoFast Scenario.

    IP – The Internet Protocol (IP) - is the method or protocol by which data is sent from one computer to another on the Internet. Each computer (known as a host) on the Internet has at least one IP address that uniquely identifies it from all other computers on the Internet.

    An example of a highly important protocol which will be utilized at application level, is HTTP or hypertext transfer protocol. HTTP is the protocol used within web browsers and the entire internet to send and receive specific web page data. HTTP is a controlling protocol, as it determines how documents should be sent, and what the browser should do in response to commands. When accessing a web page, a HTTP command is sent to the pages web server, so that the server may send that specific page’s data to the user. PCO’s Learning Centre will be using the hypertext transfer protocol on a regular basis. In order for students to access web pages, the HTTP must exist to ensure speedy and accurate navigation, especially in a learning

    SLIP is a TCP/IP protocol used for communication between two machines that are previously configured for communication with each other. For example, your Internet server provider may provide you with a SLIP connection so that the provider's server can respond to your requests, pass them on to the Internet, and forward your requested Internet responses back to you. A better service is provided by the Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP). Point-to-Point Protocol is a protocol for communication between two computers using a serial interface, typically a personal computer connected by phone line to a server. For example, your Internet server provider may provide you with a PPP connection so that the provider's server can respond to your requests, pass them on to the Internet, and forward your requested Internet responses back to you. PPP uses the Internet protocol and is designed to handle others. It is sometimes considered a member of the TCP/IP suite of protocols. Relative to the OSI reference model, PPP provides layer 2 (data-link layer) service. Essentially, it packages your computer's TCP/IP packets and forwards them to the server where they can actually be put on the Internet. PPP is a full-duplex protocol that can be used on various physical media, including twisted pair or fiber optic lines or satellite transmission. PPP is usually preferred over the earlier standard SLIP because it can handle synchronous as well as asynchronous communication. PPP can share a line with other users and it has error detection that SLIP lacks. Where a choice is possible, PPP is preferred.

  • Ethernet And Atm: Which Will Prevail?

    Sending data through the internet efficiently has always posed many problems. The two major technologies used, Ethernet and Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM), have done an admirable job of porting data, voice and video from one point to another. However, they both fall short in differing areas; neither has been able to present the "complete" package to become the single, dominant player in the internet market. They both have dominant areas they cover. Ethernet has dominated the LAN side, while ATM covers the WAN (backbone). This paper will compare the two technologies and determine which has a hand-up in the data trafficking world.

  • Advantages And Disadvantages Of Ipv6

    Internet Protocol version four (IPv4) was introduced by International Engineering Task Force (IETF) is 1981 via RFC 791 as a feasible solution to connect computers for communication. With a 32 bit address space covering 2^32 addresses, it was considered sufficient to provide an IP address to all users over the world. But with the requirement of IP for various technologies like sensor networks, Radio Frequency Identifiers (RFID), cell phones, home appliances, and, automobiles resulted in the depletion of the IPv4 address space (Marsan, 2011) and the emergence of IPv6 in 1995 via RFC 1885 and later RFC 2460 in 1998. IPv6 provides certain advantages over IPv4, such as larger address space, better routing table manageability, address auto-configuration, and better security features as compared to IPv4 (C...

    TCP/IP operates at both levels 3 and 4 of the OSI model. The TCP portion of TCP/IP operates at level 3 (Network) as its primary function is to control the flow of data. IP operates at level 4 (Transport) of the OSI model. IP is the protocol responsible for the actual transmission of packet across the network.

    As stated by the website howstuffworks.com (What is an IP address?), ‘An IP address is assigned to every device connected to the Internet. This is a 32 bit protocol, as it consists of 4 binary octets’. However they are usually written in decimal form for ease of use. The maximum decimal number allowed by one octet is 255 (or 11111111 in binary). The total number of unique possibilities of 4 octets would therefore be 256^4, roughly 4.3 billion addresses.
