Introduction to
TCP/IP
Protocols are a set of rules that
govern how computers exchange data
over a network
There is two type of protocols:
 LAN protocols: defines how
communication is carried out over
various LAN media
Exp: NetBEUI, IPX/SPX, TCP/IP
 WAN protocols: defines how
communication is carried out over
various WAN media
Exp: SLIP, HDLC,PPP

TCP/IP


The Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol
(TCP/IP) suite of protocols was developed as a part of
the research done by the Defense Advanced Research
Projects Agency (DARPA)
It is the protocol of the internet
It is route information from the source to destination by
performing the following tasks:




Defining the packet and addressing the scheme
Moving data between link layer and transport layer
Routing the packets to remote hosts
Performing fragmentation and reassembly of packets
TCP/IP suite protocols

IP (Internet protocol)
Best effort delivery routing of the packets
 Connectionless and unreliable


ICMP ( Internet Control Message Protocol)
Defines an small number of messages used for
diagnostic and management purposes
 ICMP uses IP to carry out the following function:

•
•
•
•
Announces network error
Announces network congestion
Assists troubleshooting
Announces timeouts

ARP ( Address Resolution Protocol)



Determine the MAC address for known IP
address
Two messages ARP Request and ARP reply
RARP ( Reverse Address Resolution Protocol)

Determine the IP address when MAC address
known
Two messages RARP Request and RARP reply

Uses a connectionless protocol (UDP)
IP Addressing

Different devices within an internetwork
are identified by an IP address
Network
ID

IP address
Host ID
Uniquely identifies
network to which
host is attached
Identifies host

Default Gateway (router)
The network ID of the destination used to
check whether the destination is in the
same network with the computer or not
 Yes, use the ARP to determine the MAC
address and forward the frame to it
 No, send it to the router (using the ip of the
router) and the router looks into the Routing
table for the destination network and
forwarding the packet to the corresponding
interface.

Problems



IPv4 address scheme is limited by its 32 bits
problems
for the long-term growth of the internet
Class D and class E reserved
Networks 0.0.0.0 , 255.0.0.0 , 127.0.0.0 are reserved for
protocol operations
reduce the number of available
globally unique IP address


Class A and Class B addresses were gone and goes to
individual organizations like HP (3 As)
unused IP
addresses within these blocks is very large
Class C networks used to entire country in some countries
in Asia and Africa because they arrive late to the internet
limited number of hosts
Cont…

The global internet routing table is
huge and continues to grow
go
beyond the capacity of routers
Solutions
Subnet masking
 Address allocation for private internet
 Hierarchical addressing
 Variable-length subnet masks
 Route summarization
 Classes interdomain routing
 Network address translation

Subnet addressing


Networks divided into subnets thus saving
IP address spaces, reduce broadcasting
and use the network address more efficient
Done by reserving bits from host address
• Any number of bits can be borrowed as
long as two bits remain.
• Computers see subnetwork address in 3
parts ( Net,subnet,host )
Subnetting a class C
network

In a class C network (exp: 200.36.48.0)
Network address part 200.36.48 can’t be
change
 Reserved bits from host part

• Reserving one bit : cannot be use to create
subnet because only two numbers are possible
0,1 . 0 reserved for networks while 1 reserved
for broadcasting
• Minimum two bits for subnetting
Cont…
With to bits , 4 numbers are possible
00 reserved for network
01
200.36.48.01000000  200.36.48.64
10
200.36.48.10000000  200.36.48.128
11 Reserved for broadcast
The direct broadcast address for the produced
two subnet will be:
200.36.48.01111111  200.36.48.127
200.36.48.10111111  200.36.48.191
Cont...
From the remaining 6 bits in the host part  62 hosts
The range of IP addresses in each subnet:
1. 200.36.01000001 to 200.36.01111110
200.36.48.65
to 200.36.48.126
2. 200.36.10000001 to 200.36.10111110
200.36.48.129
to 200.36.48.190
The default subnet mask for this network will be
255.255.255.11000000  255.255.255.192
In a class C network

Subnetting in class C using 3 bits
 Class B Subnetting

Private addressing
IP can be assigned to devices in private
network .But this IPs may conflict with IPs
over the internet
 Sol1: assigned to them public IP address
 exhausting IP address space
 Sol2: use IP networks numbers called
private internets  must be no internet
connectivity

Cont…
Address Allocation for Private Internets
It is a set of networks that will never be
assigned to any organization as a
registered network number
IPv6



Is the successor to the currently used IPv4
Specification completed in 1994
Makes improvements to IPv4 (no revolutionary
changes)


significant increase of the IP address to 128 bits
(16 bytes)
IPv6 will solve – for the foreseeable future – the
problems with IP addressing


IPv4 has a maximum of 232  4 billion addresses
IPv6 has a maximum of 2128 = (232)4  4 billion x 4
billion x 4 billion x 4 billion addresses
improves routing, security and Quality of
Service (QoS)
Cont…
The 128-bit IPv6 address is written as
eight 16-bit integers (using
hexadecimal digits for each integer)
Exp:
CEDF:BP76:3245:4464:FACE:2E50:30
25:DF12
IPv6 Prefix (subnet mask)
IPv4 subnet mask called as address prefix in
IPv6 and it used to determine which part of the
IP is network ID and which is host ID
 Its format: the IP address with a slash (/)
followed by the prefix length
Exp:
CEDF:BP76:3245:4464:FACE:2E50:3025:DF12
/64
The prefix is a decimal value that indicates the
number of high order contiguous bits that is the
network portion of the IP address
