Multiplexing/demultiplexing
multiplexing at sender:
handle data from multiple
sockets, add transport header
(later used for demultiplexing)
demultiplexing at receiver:
use header info to deliver
received segments to correct
socket

How demultiplexing works
 host receives IP datagrams
each datagram has source
IP address, destination IP
address
 each datagram carries
transport-layer segment
 each segment has source,
destination port number
 host uses IP addresses & port
numbers to direct segment to
appropriate socket

Connectionless demultiplexing
(UDP)
 Create a socket binding to a
port number
 UDP socket identified by
two-tuple:
(dest IP address, dest port number)
 When host receives UDP
segment:


checks destination port
number in segment
directs UDP segment to
socket with that port
number
 IP datagrams with
different source IP/port
can be directed to same
socket

 recv host uses all four
values to direct segment to


Two connections cannot
mixed together at the
receiver host
 Server host may support
many simultaneous TCP
sockets:

each socket identified by its
own 4-tuple
 Web servers have different
sockets for each connecting
client

Remember the fork() and new
socket generated by accept()

UDP: User Datagram Protocol [RFC 768]
 “no frills,” “bare bones”
Internet transport
protocol
 “best effort” service, UDP
segments may be:
 lost
 delivered out of order
to app
 connectionless:
 no handshaking between
UDP sender, receiver
 each UDP segment
handled independently
of others
Why is there a UDP?
 no connection
establishment (which can
add delay)
 simple: no connection state
at sender, receiver
 small segment header
 no congestion control: UDP
can blast away as fast as
desired

UDP checksum
Goal: detect “errors” (e.g., flipped bits) in transmitted
segment
Sender:
Receiver:
 treat segment contents
 Add all received 16-bit
as sequence of 16-bit
integers
 checksum: 1’s complement
of addition of segment
contents
 sender puts checksum
value into UDP checksum
field
segments, including checksum
 check if result is 1111 1111
1111 1111:
 NO - error detected
 YES - no error detected.
But maybe errors
nonetheless? More later

Transport Layer 3-18
Internet Checksum Example
 Note

When adding numbers, a carryout from the
most significant bit needs to be added to the
result
 Example: add two 16-bit integers
1 1 1 1 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 0
1 1 1 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 1
wraparound 1 1 0 1 1 1 0 1 1 1 0 1 1 1 0 1 1
sum 1 1 0 1 1 1 0 1 1 1 0 1 1 1 1 0 0
checksum 1 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 1
Transport Layer 3-19
Internet Checksum Example 2
 Suppose a 6-bytes packet content is

0xABCC, 0x960B, 0x5A3D
What is the checksum for this packet?
0x is a hexadecimal representation that each symbol (0-9, A-F)
represents 4 bits binary within the value of 0-15. For more details
see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hexadecimal
Normal summation: 0xABCC+0x960B+0x5A3D = 0x19C14
Wrap up carry-out value: 0x9C14 + 0x1 = 0x9C15
So the checksum is: 0xFFFF – 0x9C15 = 0x63EA

Principles of Reliable data transfer
 important in app., transport, link layers
 top-10 list of important networking topics!
 characteristics of unreliable channel will determine
complexity of reliable data transfer protocol (rdt)
u

Transport Layer 3-22
Reliable data transfer: getting started
rdt_send(): called from above,
(e.g., by app.). Passed data to
deliver to receiver upper layer
deliver_data(): called by
rdt to deliver data to upper
send
side
receive
side
u
udt_send(): called by rdt,
to transfer packet over
unreliable channel to receiver
udt_rcv(): called when packet
arrives on rcv-side of channel
Transport Layer 3-23
Reliable data transfer: getting started
We’ll:
 incrementally develop sender, receiver sides of
reliable data transfer protocol (rdt)
 consider only unidirectional data transfer

but control info will flow on both directions!
 use finite state machines (FSM) to specify
sender, receiver
state: when in this
“state” next state

by next event

Rdt1.0: reliable transfer over a reliable channel

 no bit errors
 no loss of packets

 receiver read data from underlying channel

Rdt2.0: channel with bit errors
 Assumption #1: underlying channel may flip bits in packet

checksum to detect bit errors
 Assumption # 2: no packet will be lost
 the question: how to recover from errors:



acknowledgements (ACKs): receiver explicitly tells sender that
pkt received OK
negative acknowledgements (NAKs): receiver explicitly tells
sender that pkt had errors
sender retransmits pkt on receipt of NAK
 new mechanisms in rdt2.0 (beyond rdt1.0):

rdt2.0 has a fatal flaw!
What happens if
ACK/NAK corrupted?
 sender doesn’t know what
happened at receiver!

Time-out and retransmit
 can’t just retransmit:
possible duplicate
Handling duplicates:
 sender retransmits current
pkt if ACK/NAK garbled
 sender adds sequence
number to each pkt
 receiver discards (doesn’t
deliver up) duplicate pkt
stop and wait
Sender sends one packet,
then waits for receiver
response

rdt2.1: discussion
Sender:
 seq # added to pkt
 two seq. #’s (0,1) will
suffice. Why?
 must check if received
ACK/NAK corrupted
 twice as many states
 state must “remember”
whether “current” pkt
has 0 or 1 seq. #
Receiver:
 must check if received
packet is duplicate

state indicates whether
0 or 1 is expected pkt
seq #
 note: receiver can not
know if its last
ACK/NAK received OK
at sender
