CISCO NETWORKING ACADEMY PROGRAM
SEMESTER 1/ MODULE 11
TCP/IP Application and Transport
Introduction to Transport Layer
The TCP/IP transport layer does the work of transporting data between applications on source and destination devices.
Ensure that segments delivered will be acknowledged to the sender
Provide for retransmission of any segments that are acknowledged
Put segments back into their correct sequence at the destination
Provide congestion avoidance and control

3. TCP/IP Transport Layer
CISCO NETWORKING ACADEMY PROGRAM
SEMESTER 1/ MODULE 11

TCP/IP Transport Layer
The primary functions that occur
To transport and regulate the flow of information from source to destination, reliably and accurately.
To provide end-to-end control, provided by sliding windows and
To ensure a reliability in sequencing numbers and acknowledgments
There are two protocols in TCP/IP
transport layer:
User Datagram Protocol (UDP)
Transmission Control Protocol (TCP)
Flow Control Analogy

Flow Control
To regulate the flow of information from source to destination, reliably and accurately, host tries to ensure that data is not lost
The two hosts then establish a data-transfer rate that is agreeable to both
End-to-end control, provided by sliding windows, and reliability in sequencing numbers and acknowledgments

5. Session Establishment, Maintenance and Termination
CISCO NETWORKING ACADEMY PROGRAM
SEMESTER 1/ MODULE 11
TCP/IP Application and Transport
Session Establishment, Maintenance and Termination
Multiple applications can share the same transport connection in the OSI reference model.
Transport functionality is accomplished on a segment-by-segment basis
Transport layer can multiplex upper-layer conversations based on a segment-by-segment basis.

6. Session Establishment, Maintenance and Termination
CISCO NETWORKING ACADEMY PROGRAM
SEMESTER 1/ MODULE 11
TCP/IP Application and Transport
Session Establishment, Maintenance and Termination
Three-Way Handshake
One function of the transport layer is to establish a connection-oriented session between similar devices at the application layer.
The connection is established and the transfer of data begins after all synchronization has occurred.
During transfer, the two machines continue to communicate with their protocol software to verify that data is received correctly.
Congestion can occur during data transfer for two reasons.
high-speed computer might be capable of generating traffic faster than a network can transfer it.
many computers simultaneously need to send datagrams to a single destination

7. Session Establishment, Maintenance and Termination
CISCO NETWORKING ACADEMY PROGRAM
SEMESTER 1/ MODULE 11
TCP/IP Application and Transport
Session Establishment, Maintenance and Termination
When datagrams arrive too quickly for a host or gateway to process, the host or gateway eventually exhausts its memory and must discard additional datagrams that arrive (Congestion).
the transport function can issue a “not ready” indicator to the sender. When the receiver can handle additional data, the receiver sends a “ready” transport indicator. When this indicator is received, the sender can resume the segment transmission
Flow Control

8. TCP/IP Application and Transport
CISCO NETWORKING ACADEMY PROGRAM
SEMESTER 1/ MODULE 11
TCP/IP Application and Transport
Three-Way Handshake
TCP is a connection-oriented protocol.
TCP requires connection establishment before data transfer begins.
For a connection to be established or initialized, the two hosts must synchronize their Initial Sequence Numbers (ISNs).
Each side must also receive the INS from the other side and send a confirming ACK.

9. Windowing and Acknowledgement
CISCO NETWORKING ACADEMY PROGRAM
SEMESTER 1/ MODULE 11
TCP/IP Application and Transport
Windowing and Acknowledgement
Low throughput
Windowing is a flow control mechanism requiring that the source device receive an acknowledgment from the destination after transmitting a certain amount of data.

10. Windowing and Acknowledgement
CISCO NETWORKING ACADEMY PROGRAM
SEMESTER 1/ MODULE 11
TCP/IP Application and Transport
Windowing and Acknowledgement
The number of data packets the sender is allowed to have outstanding without having received an acknowledgment is known as the window size, or window.
Windowing requires that the source device receive an acknowledgment from the destination after transmitting a certain amount of data.
The receiving TCP process reports a “window” to the sending TCP.
TCP window sizes are variable during the lifetime of a connection.
Each acknowledgement contains a window advertisement that indicates the number of bytes the receiver can accept.

11. Windowing and Acknowledgement
CISCO NETWORKING ACADEMY PROGRAM
SEMESTER 1/ MODULE 11
TCP/IP Application and Transport
Windowing and Acknowledgement
Reliable delivery guarantees that a stream of data sent from one device is delivered through a data link to another device without duplication or data loss.
Positive acknowledgment with retransmission is one technique that guarantees reliable delivery of data.
TCP uses expectational acknowledgments.
Expectational acknowledgements mean that the acknowledgment number refers to the packet that is next expected.

12. TCP/IP Application and Transport
CISCO NETWORKING ACADEMY PROGRAM
SEMESTER 1/ MODULE 11
TCP/IP Application and Transport
Acknowledgement
Each segment is numbered before transmission
At the receiving station, TCP reassembles the segments into a complete message.
If a sequence number is missing in the series, that segment is retransmitted.
Segments that are not acknowledged within a given time period will result in a retransmission.

13. Positive Acknowledgement and Retransmission
CISCO NETWORKING ACADEMY PROGRAM
SEMESTER 1/ MODULE 11
TCP/IP Application and Transport
Positive Acknowledgement and Retransmission
It is used to provide reliability.
Positive acknowledgment requires a recipient to communicate with the source and send back an acknowledgment message when the data is received.
The sender keeps a record of each data packet (TCP segment), that it sends and expects an acknowledgment.
Once the source sends a packet, it starts a timer and waits for an acknowledgment before sending the next packet.
If the timer expires before the source receives an acknowledgment, the source retransmits the packet and starts the timer over again.

14. TCP Congestion Control
CISCO NETWORKING ACADEMY PROGRAM
SEMESTER 1/ MODULE 11
TCP/IP Application and Transport
TCP Congestion Control
TCP also maintains a congestion-control window.
This window is normally the same size as the window of the receiver.
However, this window is cut in half when a packet is lost, perhaps as a result of network congestion.
This approach permits the window to be expanded or contracted as necessary to manage buffer space and processing.

Port Number
Both TCP and UDP use port (socket) numbers to pass information to the upper layers.
Port numbers are used to keep track of different conversations crossing the network at the same time.
Port numbers have the following assigned ranges:
Numbers below 1024 are considered well-known ports numbers.
Numbers above 1024 are dynamically assigned ports numbers.
Registered port numbers are those registered for vendor-specific applications. Most of these are above 1024.
The source host dynamically assigns originating source port numbers. These numbers are always greater than 1023.

Domain Name System
The Domain Name System (DNS) is a system used on the Internet for translating names of domains and their publicly advertised network nodes into IP addresses.
Examples:
.th – Thailand, .us – United States , .uk – United Kingdom
Domain name server is a device on a network
It responds to requests from clients to translate a domain name into the associated IP address.
The DNS system is set up in a hierarchy that creates different levels of DNS servers.
If a local DNS server is able to translate a domain name into its associated IP address, it does so, and returns the result to the client.
If it cannot translate the address, it passes the request up to the next higher-level DNS server on the system

25. There are also generic names, which examples include the following:

SEMESTER 1/ MODULE 11
TCP/IP Application and Transport
Hypertext Transfer Protocol
HTTP works with the World Wide Web, which is the fastest growing and most used part of the Internet.
One of the main reasons for the extraordinary growth of the Web is the ease with which it allows access to information.
A Web browser (along with all the other network applications covered in this chapter) is a client-server application, which means that it requires both a client and a server component in order to function.
The Web pages are created with a format language called Hypertext Markup Language (HTML).
The Web page contains, often hidden within its HTML description, an address location known as a Uniform Resource Locator (URL).

28. Simple Mail Transfer Protocol
CISCO NETWORKING ACADEMY PROGRAM
SEMESTER 1/ MODULE 11
TCP/IP Application and Transport
Simple Mail Transfer Protocol
servers communicate with each other using the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) to send and receive mail.
The SMTP protocol transports messages in ASCII format using TCP.
Mail can be collected by using program that access the mail server files directly or collect their mail using one of many network protocols:
POP3 and IMAP4, which both use TCP to transport data.

29. Simple Network Management
CISCO NETWORKING ACADEMY PROGRAM
SEMESTER 1/ MODULE 11
