Chittesh S TCP and UDP Communication

PART 1
Step 1:
Q1. a. Click MultiServer and click the Desktop tab > Command Prompt.

b. Enter the ping -n 1 192.168.1.255 command. You are pinging the broadcast
address for the client LAN. The command option will send only one ping request
rather than the usual four. This will take a few seconds as every device on the
network responds to the ping request from MultiServer.

c. Close the MultiServer window.

Step 2:

Q2. a. Switch to Simulation mode.

b. Click HTTP Client and open the Web Browser from the desktop.

c. In the URL field, enter 192.168.1.254 and click Go. Envelopes (PDUs) will
appear in the topology window.

d. Minimize, but do not close, the HTTP Client configuration window.

Step 3:

Q3. a. Click FTP Client and open the Command Prompt from the desktop
b. Enter the ftp 192.168.1.254 command. PDUs will appear in the simulation
window.
c. Minimize, but do not close, the FTP Client configuration window.

Step 4:
Q4. a. Click DNS Client and open the Command Prompt.
b. Enter the nslookup multiserver.pt.ptu command. A PDU will appear in the
simulation window.
c. Minimize, but do not close, the DNS Client configuration window.

Step 5:
Q5. a. Click E-Mail Client and open the E Mail tool from the Desktop.
b. Click Compose and enter the following information:
1) To: [email protected]
2) Subject: personalize the subject line
3) E-Mail Body: personalize the Email
c. Click Send.
d. Minimize, but do not close, the E-Mail Client configuration window.
There should now be PDU entries in the simulation panel for each of the client
computers.

After the mail I sent we can see the pdu entry from the previous picture

Answer for Q3,Q4,Q5

The entries are created

This is known as multiplexing we can see the events in the list. The these colours
represent the protocols.

PART 2
Step 1:
Question:
Why did it take so long for the HTTP PDU to appear?

It is like a three way handshake after the http clients receive the session open message
the http pdu appear’s

e. Click the PDU envelope to show the PDU details. Click the Outbound PDU
Details tab and scroll down to the second to the last section.
Questions:
What is the section labeled? tcp
Are these communications considered to be reliable? Tcp is a reliable communication

Record the SRC PORT, DEST PORT, SEQUENCE NUM, and ACK NUM values.

Which TCP flags are set in this PDU?

therefore ACK and PSH are set

g. Close the PDU and click Capture/Forward until a PDU with a checkmark returns to
the HTTP Client.
h. Click the PDU envelope and select Inbound PDU Details.
Question:
How are the port and sequence numbers different than before? The changes can be
seen in the picture

i. Click the HTTP PDU which HTTP Client has prepared to send to MultiServer. This is
the beginning of the HTTP communication. Click this second PDU envelope and
select Outbound PDU Details.
Question: What information is now listed in the TCP section? How are the port and
sequence numbers different from the previous two PDUs? It is now reversed version of
previous pdu and sequence number is no changed

Step 2:

a. Open the command prompt on the FTP Client desktop. Initiate an FTP connection
by entering ftp 192.168.1.254.
b. In the Simulation Panel, change Edit Filters to display only FTP and TCP.
c. Click Capture/Forward. Click the second PDU envelope to open it.
Click the Outbound PDU Details tab and scroll down to the TCP section.
Question:
Are these communications considered to be reliable?
Yes it is reliable

d. Record the SRC PORT, DEST PORT, SEQUENCE NUM, and ACK NUM values.

Question: What is the value in the flag field?

syn

e. Close the PDU and click Capture/Forward until a PDU returns to the FTP
Client with a checkmark.
f. Click the PDU envelope and select Inbound PDU Details.
Question:
How are the port and sequence numbers different than before? The port number are
swapped, no change in sequence number

g. Click the Outbound PDU Details tab.

Question:
How are the port and sequence numbers different from the previous results? While
comparing to inbound it is swapped, change in sequence number

h. Close the PDU and click Capture/Forward until a second PDU returns to the FTP
Client. The PDU is a different color.
i. Open the PDU and select Inbound PDU Details. Scroll down past the TCP section.
Question:
What is the message from the server?

Step 3:
a. Repeat the steps in Part 1 to create DNS traffic.
b. In the Simulation Panel, change Edit Filters to display only DNS and UDP.
c. Click the PDU envelope to open it.
d. Look at the OSI Model details for the outbound PDU.
Question:
What is the Layer 4 protocol?

Are these communications considered to be reliable? It is unreliable communication

e. Open the Outbound PDU Details tab and find the UDP section of the PDU formats.
Record the SRC PORT and DEST PORT values.

Question:
Why are there no sequence and acknowledgement numbers? As it is A UDP there will be
no sequence and acknowledgement numbers.
f. Close the PDU and click Capture/Forward until a PDU with a check mark returns to
the DNS Client.
g. Click the PDU envelope and select Inbound PDU Details.
Question:
How are the port and sequence numbers different than before? It is swapped

What is the last section of the PDU called? What is the IP address for the
name multiserver.pt.ptu? 192.168.1.254

Step 4:
a. Repeat the steps in Part 1 to send an email to [email protected].
b. In the Simulation Panel, change Edit Filters to display only POP3, SMTP and TCP.

d. Click the Outbound PDU Details tab and scroll down to the last section.
Questions:
What transport layer protocol does email traffic use? TCP
Are these communications considered to be reliable? Yes

e. Record the SRC PORT, DEST PORT, SEQUENCE NUM, and ACK NUM values. What
is the flag field value? SYN

f. Close the PDU and click Capture/Forward until a PDU returns to the E-Mail
Client with a checkmark.
g. Click the TCP PDU envelope and select Inbound PDU Details.

It is swapped, sequence number iscchanged

i. There is a second PDU of a different color that E-Mail Client has prepared to send
to MultiServer. This is the beginning of the email communication. Click this second
PDU envelope and select Outbound PDU Details.
Questions:
How are the port and sequence numbers different from the previous two PDUs?
It is swapped, sequence number is same as second one

TCP port 110? SMTP and POP

The question related to How are the port and sequence numbers different from the
previous two PDUs can differentiated with the flags
