LEARN TO USE COMMANDS LIKE TCPDUMP, NETSTAT,
Ex. No :1 IFCONFIG, NSLOOKUP AND TRACE ROUTE. CAPTURE PING
AND TRACE ROUTE PDUS USING A NETWORK PROTOCOL
Date: ANALYZER AND EXAMINE
Aim:
To use commands like tcpdump, netstat, ifconfig, nslookup and trace route. Capture ping and
trace route PDUs using a network protocol analyzer and examine.
1. Tcpdump
Tcpdump is a command line utility that allows you to capture and analyze network traffic going
through your system.
Procedure
$ which tcpdump
/usr/sbin/tcpdump

(Press ctrl+C to stop execution)
Filtering packets
To filter packets based on protocol, specifying the protocol in the command line. For example, capture
ICMP packets only by using this command:
tcpdump: verbose output suppressed, use -v or -vv for full protocol decode
listening on any, link-type LINUX_SLL (Linux cooked), capture size 262144
bytes

2. netstat
netstat (network statistics) is a command line tool for monitoring network connections both incoming
and outgoing as well as viewing routing tables, interface statistics etc.
3. ifconfig
It displays the details of a network interface card like IP address, MAC Address, and the status of a
network interface card

4. nslookup
nslookup (stands for “Name Server Lookup”) is a useful command for getting information from
DNS server. It is a network administration tool for querying the Domain Name System (DNS) to obtain
domain name or IP address mapping or any other specific DNS record.

5. traceroute
The traceroute command is used in Linux to map the journey that a packet of information undertakes
from its source to its destination.
Usage:
traceroute [ -46dFITnreAUDV ] [ -f first_ttl ] [ -g gate,...] [ -i device ] [ -m max_ttl ] [ -N squeries ] [ -
p port ] [ -t tos ] [ -l flow_label ] [ -w waittime ] [ -q nqueries ] [ -s src_addr ] [ -z sendwait ] [ --
fwmark=num ] host [ packetlen ]
Options:
-4 Use IPv4
-6 Use IPv6
-d --debug Enable socket level debugging
-F --dont-fragment Do not fragment packets

Capture ping and traceroute PDUs using a network protocol analyzer and examine.
Wireshark is free & Open source network packet analyzer that is used for network analysis,
troubleshooting, etc.
Wireshark is quite similar to tcpdump, the major difference between the two is that Wireshark has a
graphical interface with built-in filtering options, which make it easy to use.
To Open Wireshark
# sudo wireshark
In a konsole execute
# ping www.sudo.com
# traceroute www.google.com

CS3591_CN
Result:
Thus commands like tcpdump, netstat, ifconfig, nslookup and traceroute was used. Ping and
traceroute PDUs using a network protocol analyzer was captured and examined.

Date:
AIM:
INTRODUCTION :
Network Simulator (Version 2), widely known as NS2, is simply an eventdriven simulation
tool that has proved useful in studying the dynamic nature of communication networks. Simulation of
wired as well as wireless network functions and protocols (e.g., routing algorithms, TCP, UDP) can
be done using NS2. In general, NS2 provides users with a way of specifying such network protocols
and simulating their corresponding behaviors. Due to its flexibility and modular nature, NS2 has
gained constant popularity in the networking research community since its birth in 1989. Ever since,
several revolutions and revisions have marked the growing maturity of the tool, thanks to substantial
contributions from the players in the field. Among these are the University of California and Cornell
University who developed the REAL network simulator, 1 the foundation which NS is based on.
Since 1995 the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) supported
development of NS through the Virtual InterNetwork Testbed (VINT) project currently the National
Science Foundation (NSF) has joined the ride in development. Last but not the least, the group of
Researchers and developers in the community are constantly working to keep NS2 strong and
versatile.
BASIC ARCHITECTURE :
CS3591_CN
Figure shows the basic architecture of NS2. NS2 provides users with executable command ns
which take on input argument, the name of a Tcl simulation scripting file. Users are feeding the name
of a Tcl simulation script (which sets up a simulation) as an input argument of an NS2 executable
command ns.
In most cases, a simulation trace file is created, and is used to plot graph and/or to create
animation. NS2 consists of two key languages: C++ and Object-oriented Tool Command Language
(OTcl). While the C++ defines the internal mechanism (i.e., a backend) of the simulation objects, the
OTcl sets up simulation by assembling and configuring the objects as well as scheduling discrete
events (i.e., a frontend).
The C++ and the OTcl are linked together using TclCL. Mapped to a C++ object, variables in
the OTcl domains are sometimes referred to as handles. Conceptually, a handle (e.g., n as a Node
handle) is just a string (e.g., _o10) in the OTcl domain, and does not contain any functionality.
Instead, the functionality (e.g., receiving a packet) is defined in the mapped C++ object (e.g., of class
Connector). In the OTcl domain, a handle acts as a frontend which interacts with users and other OTcl
objects. It may define its own procedures and variables to facilitate the interaction. Note that the
member procedures and variables in the OTcl domain are called instance procedures (instprocs) and
instance variables (instvars), respectively. Before proceeding further, the readers are encouraged to
learn C++ and OTcl languages.
NS2 provides a large number of built-in C++ objects. It is advisable to use these C++ objects
to set up a simulation using a Tcl simulation script. However, advance users may find these objects
insufficient. They need to develop their own C++ objects, and use a OTcl configuration interface to
put together these objects. After simulation, NS2 outputs either text-based or animation-based
simulation results. To interpret these results graphically and interactively, tools such as NAM
(Network AniMator) and XGraph are used. To analyze a particular behavior of the network, users can
extract a relevant subset of text-based data and transform it to a more conceivable presentation.
CONCEPT OVERVIEW
ns uses two languages because simulator has two different kinds of things it needs to do. On
one hand, detailed simulations of protocols require a systems programming language which can
efficiently manipulate bytes, packet headers and implement algorithms that run over large data sets.
For these tasks run-time speed is important and turn-around time (run simulation, find bug, fix bug,
recompile, re-run) is less important. On the other hand, a large part of network research involves
slightly varying parameters or configurations, or quickly exploring number of scenarios.
In these cases, iteration time (change the model and re-run) is more important. Since
configuration runs once (at the beginning of the simulation), run-time of this part of the task is less
important. ns meets both of these needs with two languages, C++ and OTcl.

2. The duplex links between n0 and n2, and n1 and n2 have 2 Mbps of bandwidth and
10 ms of delay.
3. The duplex link between n2 and n3 has 1.7 Mbps of bandwidth and 20 ms of delay.

attached to n3.
6. As default, the maximum size of a packet that a "tcp" agent can generate is 1KByte.
7. A tcp "sink" agent generates and sends ACK packets to the sender (tcp agent) and
frees the received packets.
8. A "udp" agent that is attached to n1 is connected to a "null" agent attached to n3.
9. A "null" agent just frees the packets received.
10. A "ftp" and a "cbr" traffic generator are attached to "tcp" and "udp" agents
respectively, and the "cbr" is configured to generate 1 KByte packets at the rate of 1
Mbps.
11. The "cbr" is set to start at 0.1 sec and stop at 4.5 sec, and "ftp" is set to start at 1.0 sec
and stop at 4.0 sec
