15. What to do in muxHandler()? (starting from line 50) From Anonymous TA1

16. Get the headers r Use function MinetReceive to get the packet p. r Get the TCPHeader and IPHeader of p. You can use the function in class Packet. For example, FindHeader function. You can get the Tcpheader by using p.FindHeader(Headers::TCPHeader);

17. Find the connections r Extract information from the IPHeaders and TCPHeaders. For example, src ip & port and dest ip &port. For example, using iph.GetDestIP function.(suppose iph is the ip header) r Use the information above to find the connection the packet belongs in Clist. Clist is used for keeping all connections built. For example, using ConnectionList ::iterator cs = clist.FindMatching(c);// Specify c with src & dest information

18. Parse tcp header r Get the state of current connection. You may need to modify it based on the packet received. For example, using (*cs).state.GetState(); r Get the flags of TCP header, using tcph.GetFlags(f). Then check whether it is SYN, ACK, FIN.. And do corresponding action based on current state.

20. For Example r if( IS_ACK(f) && IS_SYN(f) ) r { r cout<<"SYN ACK packet Received. will have to send ACK packet"<<endl; r p.Print(cout); r if( state == SYN_SENT ) r { r connstate.state.SetState(ESTABLISHED); r unsigned int newack,last_recvd; r tcph.GetAckNum(newack); r tcph.GetSeqNum(last_recvd); r connstate.state.SetLastAcked( newack ); r connstate.state.SetLastRecvd( last_recvd ); r connstate.timeout=Time() + ACK_TIMEOUT; r char *data1 = "ACTIVE:in active connection\n"; r Buffer b(data1,strlen(data1)); r Packet psh; r unsigned int old_time; r TCPOptions opt; r tcph.GetOptions(opt); r old_time = ntohl(*(int *)(opt.data+8)); r craftSynPacket(&psh,connstate,PSH_ACK_HEADER,0,old_time); r psh.Print(cout); r MinetSend(mux,psh); r connstate.state.SetLastSent(connstate.state.GetLastSent()); r status=STATUS; r MinetSend(sock,write); r }

22. Netprog: TCP Details 22 The TCP Project Important Handouts: r Minet  The Minet Technical Report The Minet Technical Report  The Minet Socket Interface The Minet Socket Interface r TCP Guides  RFC 793 http://www.freesoft.org/CIE/RFC/793/ (in convenient HTML format), RFC 1122 http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc1122.html RFC 793RFC 1122  A very useful summary and picture of the TCP State diagram (TCP_IP_State_Transition_Diagram.pdf)  TCP, UDP and IP pocket guide (TCP_UDP_IP_packet_guide.pdf) includes header details  Brief overview of TCP (http://www.freesoft.org/CIE/Topics/83.htm) contains a nice summary of the essentials  Here is a page with nice TCP animations (http://www.netbook.cs.purdue.edu/). They explain TCP connection startup, termination, data flow and flow control and cumulative ack concepts.

23. Netprog: TCP Details 23 TCP Lingo r When a client requests a connection, it sends a “SYN” segment (a special TCP segment) to the server port. r SYN stands for synchronize. The SYN message includes the client’s ISN. r ISN is Initial Sequence Number.

24. Netprog: TCP Details 24 More... r Every TCP segment includes a Sequence Number that refers to the first byte of data included in the segment. r Every TCP segment includes a Request Number (Acknowledgement Number) that indicates the byte number of the next data that is expected to be received.  All bytes up through this number have already been received.

25. Netprog: TCP Details 25 And more... r There are a bunch of control flags:  URG: urgent data included.  ACK: this segment is (among other things) an acknowledgement.  RST: error - abort the session.  SYN: synchronize Sequence Numbers (setup)  FIN: polite connection termination.

26. Netprog: TCP Details 26 And more... r MSS: Maximum segment size (A TCP option) r Window: Every ACK includes a Window field that tells the sender how many bytes it can send before the receiver will have to toss it away (due to fixed buffer size, “flow control”).

27. Netprog: TCP Details 27 TCP Connection Creation r A server accepts a connection.  Must be looking for new connections! r A client requests a connection.  Must know where the server is!

28. Netprog: TCP Details 28 Client Starts r A client starts by sending a SYN segment with the following information:  Client’s ISN (generated pseudo-randomly)  Maximum Receive Window for client.  Optionally (but usually) MSS (largest datagram accepted).  No payload! (Only TCP headers)

29. Netprog: TCP Details 29 Sever Response r When a waiting server sees a new connection request, the server sends back a SYN segment with:  Server’s ISN (generated pseudo-randomly)  Request Number is Client ISN+1  Maximum Receive Window for server.  Optionally (but usually) MSS  No payload! (Only TCP headers)

30. Netprog: TCP Details 30 Finally r When the Server’s SYN is received, the client sends back an ACK with:  Request Number is Server’s ISN+1

31. Netprog: TCP Details 31 Client Server SYN ISN=X SYN ISN=X 1 SYN ISN=Y ACK=X+1 SYN ISN=Y ACK=X+1 2 ACK=Y+1 3 time

32. Netprog: TCP Details 32 Why 3-Way? r Why is the third message necessary? r HINTS:  TCP is a reliable service.  IP delivers each TCP segment.  IP is not reliable.

33. Netprog: TCP Details 33 TCP Data and ACK r Once the connection is established, data can be sent. r Each data segment includes a sequence number identifying the first byte in the segment. r Each segment (data or empty) includes a request number indicating what data has been received.

34. Netprog: TCP Details 34 TCP Buffers r Both the client and server allocate buffers to hold incoming and outgoing data  The TCP layer does this. r Both the client and server announce with every ACK how much buffer space remains (the Window field in a TCP segment).

35. Netprog: TCP Details 35 Send Buffers r The application gives the TCP layer some data to send. r The data is put in a send buffer, where it stays until the data is ACK’d.  it has to stay, as it might need to be sent again! r The TCP layer won’t accept data from the application unless (or until) there is buffer space.

36. Netprog: TCP Details 36 ACKs r A receiver doesn’t have to ACK every segment (it can ACK many segments with a single ACK segment). r Each ACK can also contain outgoing data (piggybacking). r If a sender doesn’t get an ACK after some time limit (MSL) it resends the data.

37. Netprog: TCP Details 37 Termination r The TCP layer can send a RST segment that terminates a connection if something is wrong. r Usually the application tells TCP to terminate the connection politely with a FIN segment.

38. Netprog: TCP Details 38 FIN r Either end of the connection can initiate termination. r A FIN is sent, which means the application is done sending data. r The FIN is ACK’d. r The other end must now send a FIN. r That FIN must be ACK’d.

39. Netprog: TCP Details 39 App1 App2 FIN SN=X FIN SN=X 1 ACK=X+1 2 ACK=Y+1 4 FIN SN=Y FIN SN=Y 3...
