Chapter 5 – Network and Transport Layers
Chapter 5 2
I. Overview Layers are very close – move messages
from end to end in a network Transport Layer – accepts outgoing
messages from the application layer Packetizes them Addresses them
Network layer – takes messages from the transport layer and routes them through the network
Data Link Layer – produces error-free delivery
Chapter 5 3
Introduction
See fig 5-1 p. 145 for 5 OSI layers Note path of packets Note additional headers added at
each layer: encapsulation Remember that each layer “talks to”
its counterpart layer at the other end
Chapter 5 4
II. Transport and Network Protocols
Many similar protocols here can do the same thing: TCP/IP, IPX/SPX, X.25, etc.
Multiprotocol stacks (software) will process each protocol’s packets must analyze the packet to determine
the protocol
Chapter 5 5
TCP/IP: Internet Standard
TCP/IP originally developed for ARPANET – DoD network Produce error-free transmissions Compatible with variety of data link
protocols TCP/IP is world’s most popular
TCP=transmission control protocol (TL) IP=Internet protocol (NL)
Chapter 5 6
TCP: Transport Control Protocol
Performs packetizing Breaks message into packets Numbers them (for reassembly later) Assures packets are delivered reliably Puts packets in order at destination
See figure 5-2 p. 147 for TCP packet: 192-bit header
Chapter 5 7
IP: Internet Protocol
Network layer protocol Performs addressing and routing IP SW must be at every node
IP packet in figure 5-3 p. 147: 192-bit header
IPv4: 32 bits=4.3B IP addresses IPv6: 128 bits=3.4x1038 addresses! Simpler header
structure but requires ALL computers be revised (Microsoft has upgrade)
Chapter 5 8
IPX/SPX: Novell
ISU still uses IPX/SPX but newer Novell Netware now uses TCP/IP SPX: TL protocol and like TCP IPX: NL protocol and like IP
Chapter 5 9
X.25 Packet Switching WAN global ITU standard for packet
switched networks of common carriers Seldom used in North America
Maps to lowest 3 levels of OSI model DTE (data terminal equipment or end
devices) vs. DCE (data communications equipment or communications devices)
PAD – packet assembler/disassembler X. means digital data carried on digital
network in ITU-T notation
Chapter 5 10
System network architecture-SNA
IBM standard intended for end to end IBM network Used only on IBM compatible mainframes Uses proprietary protocols: important
concept in open standards environment Experts predict SNA will be replaced
by TCP/IP and this will decline
Chapter 5 11
III. Transport Layer Functions
Each application layer program has a unique TCP/IP port number 16-bit (2 byte) number up to 65536 FTP=21, Telnet=23, HTTP=80, SMTP=25 Can choose non standard port numbers
and give application program that port # http://someplace.com:4567/index.htm
Chapter 5 12
Packetizing
Given maximum packet size, most messages are split into >1 packet
Web browsers build page a packet at a time, especially streaming and graphics
Email clients wait until all packets have arrived and are reassembled
Chapter 5 13
Connection oriented routing
Sets up TCP connection as a virtual circuit between sender and receiver
Once established, packets flow in same order until connection is closed
Reassembling message is simple here
Chapter 5 14
Connectionless routing Each packet is treated separately
and could take different paths May arrive out of sequence TCP packet replaced by UDP packet
User Datagram Protocol packet is much smaller that TCP packet
Often used when entire message fits one packet (control messages)
Chapter 5 15
Quality of service (QoS) routing
Special type of connection oriented routing Different connections are assigned
different priorities Email is low priority,
videoconferencing high priority to assure smooth images
Chapter 5 16
IV. Network Addresses Application Layer URL: misnt.indstate.edu
at C:>type Ping misnt.indstate.edu to see if active Network Layer IP: 139.102.31.12 Data Link Layer MAC: SMC network card 00-E0-
29-92-24-54 (12 hex digits) at C:> type winipcfg (Windows 95, 98, ME) at C:> type ipconfig (Windows NT, 2000, XP)
Must have an approved address to attach a computer to the Internet
Servers have fixed (static) addresses, clients usually not
Chapter 5 17
Internet Addresses Network Solutions is the agent that
provides domain names (called domain registrar) http://www.networksolutions.com
.com, .org, .net, .mil, .gov plus several new extensions (.biz, .info, .bz, and .tv) latter two were originally country codes
Country extensions: .us, .ca, .il, .jp, .de, .iq http://www.isi.edu/in-notes/iana/assignments/country-codes
Chapter 5 18
Subnets Subnet refers to logical group of computers,
often same physical network ISU uses 139.102.x.y Class B addresses
X is the subnet and y is the computer SB 403 and servers: 139.102.31.y SB faculty and staff: 139.102.67.y and
139.102.69.y Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0 vs 255.255.0.0 –
parts refer to clients on the same subnet Partial-byte subnets: 255.255.255.240 allows
for 16 computers per subnet: 11111111 11111111 11111111 11110000
Chapter 5 19
Static vs. Dynamic Addresses Static IP address: always same, coded into
the Network TCP/IP properties DHCP and bootp give out dynamic
addresses at client boot up time Can reuse dynamic IP addresses In TCP/IP Properties, Obtain an IP address automatically Cannot assign a dynamic address to a server! At ISU, even though we use bootp you always
get the same IP address; (ISU is replacing bootp with DHCP for roaming)
Register: http://ithelp.indstate.edu/forms/bootp.html
Chapter 5 20
IP Address Lease Client is given an IP address for a
certain length of time After that time expires, the IP
address lease expires and someone else can use that IP address
At C> prompt, type ipconfig /all to see IP address lease information. (In Windows 9x, type winipcfg)
Chapter 5 21
Address Resolution Server name resolution: DNS stands for Domain
Name Service Any time your computer does not know the IP address of
a server, it calls the DNS to get it DNS may have to go to root DNS to get IP 139.102.48.35, 139.102.7.102, 139.102.1.10 are ISU DNS Once learned, this address is stored inside your computer
until you shut down. Hint: you may need to do a DNS Flush if your computer is acting up. Ask about this in class!
DNS name is associated with domain name: www.indstate.edu=139.102.15.15
DNS servers replicate automatically
Chapter 5 22

Routing - 2 Router points in the general direction of
destination Ex: for all IP 126.x.x.x addresses, go here Ex: for all Texas destinations go here,
otherwise go there Router contains software and builds
routing tables dynamically to accommodate congestion, cuts, etc.
Cisco – has best dynamic routing software

Chapter 5 25
Types of Routing Centralized routing: all decisions made
by central computer Static routing: all decisions made are
fixed. If break in network, messages are held until routes refigured. Good for small networks with few alternative paths.
Dynamic: adapts to network conditions in decentralized fashion. Default mode with many paths, but requires lots of calculations by routers including network coordination traffic between routers.
Chapter 5 26
Routing Protocols
How routers exchange information to build, maintain routing tables
Autonomous system – network operated by one organization Routing protocols inside such systems
are interior routing protocols Routing protocols between autonomous
systems are exterior routing protocols
Chapter 5 27
Internet Routing Protocols
ICMP-Internet Control Message Protocol
RIP-Routing Information Protocol
BGP-Border Gateway Protocol
OSPF-Open Shortest Path First
EIGRP-Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol
For the test: know ICMP and RIP
Chapter 5 28
Multicasting
Unicast message: sent from one client to another client
Multicast message: sent from one node to a group of computers at same time Ex: Ghost for imaging hard drives; rebuild
all computers with same packets Ex: hearing a broadcast on the Internet –
like a seminar or workshop
Chapter 5 29
VI. TCP/IP Example A computer needs four TCP/IP settings:
Its IP address Subnet mask IP address of DNS server IP address of gateway leading outside subnet
Can get these values automatically or they can be static values typed into TCP/IP
Properties in Network control panel
Chapter 5 30
Example Network: fig 5-14 Four subnets: 98, 95, 50, 75 DNS server: 128.192.254.4 4 Gateways, each with at least two
IP addresses (internal/external) Bldg A: 128.192.98.1 129.192.254.3
(error) Router: 128.192.254.7 next to
Internet cloud
Chapter 5 31
Resolving Addresses Known Address, Same Subnet
Search IP address table, find Hand to Data Link layer, send packet
Known Address, Different Subnet Search IP address table, find Go through gateway to other subnet
Unknown Addresses Search IP address table, not found Perform DNS request, return address to table May go through gateway or out via router
