AIM: To Learn to use commands like tcpdump, netstat, ifconfig, nslookup and traceroute ping.
PRE LAB DISCUSSION:
Tcpdump:
The tcpdump utility allows you to capture packets that flow within your network to assist in network
troubleshooting. The following are several examples of using tcpdump with different options. Traffic is captured
based on a specified filter.
Netstat
Netstat is a common command line TCP/IP networking available in most versions of
Windows, Linux, UNIX and other operating systems.
Netstat provides information and statistics about protocols in use and current TCP/IP network
connections.
ipconfig
ipconfig is a console application designed to run from the Windows command prompt. Thisutility
allows you to get the IP address information of a Windows computer.
From the command prompt, type ipconfig to run the utility with default options. The output of thedefault
command contains the IP address, network mask, and gateway for all physical and virtual
network adapter.
nslookup
The nslookup (which stands for name server lookup) command is a network utility program used to obtain
information about internet servers. It finds name server information for domains by querying the Domain Name
System.
Trace route:
Traceroute is a network diagnostic tool used to track the pathway taken by a packet on an IP network from
source to destination. Traceroute also records the time taken for each hop the packet makes during its route to the
destination
Commands:
Tcpdump:
Display traffic between 2 hosts:
To display all traffic between two hosts (represented by variables host1 and host2): # tcpdumphost
host1 and host2
Display traffic from a source or destination host only:
To display traffic from only a source (src) or destination (dst) host:#
tcpdump src host
# tcpdump dst host
Display traffic for a specific protocol
Provide the protocol as an argument to display only traffic for a specific protocol, for example tcp,udp,
icmp, arp
# tcpdump protocol
For example to display traffic only for the tcp traffic :#
tcpdump tcp
Filtering based on source or destination port
To filter based on a source or destination port:
# tcpdump src port ftp #
tcpdump dst port http
2. Netstat
Netstat is a common command line TCP/IP networking available in most versions of
Windows, Linux, UNIX and other operating systems.
Netstat provides information and statistics about protocols in use and current TCP/IP network
connections. The Windows help screen (analogous to a Linux or UNIX for netstat reads as follows: displays
protocol statistics and current TCP/IP network connections.
#netstat
3. ipconfig
In Windows, ipconfig is a console application designed to run from the Windows command prompt.
This utility allows you to get the IP address information of a Windows computer.
Using ipconfig
From the command prompt, type ipconfig to run the utility with default options. The output of the default
command contains the IP address, network mask, and gateway for all physical and virtual network adapter.
#ipconfig
4. nslookup
The nslookup (which stands for name server lookup) command is a network utility program used to obtain
information about internet servers. It finds name server information for domains by querying the Domain Name
System.
The nslookup command is a powerful tool for diagnosing DNS problems. You know you're experiencing a
DNS problem when you can access a resource by specifying its IP address but not its DNS name.
#nslookup
5. Trace route:
Traceroute uses Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) echo packets with variable time to live (TTL) values.
The response time of each hop is calculated. To guarantee accuracy, each hop is queried multiple times (usually
three times) to better measure the response of that particular hop.
Traceroute is a network diagnostic tool used to track the pathway taken by a packet on an IP network from source
to destination. Traceroute also records the time taken for each hop the packet makes during its route to the
destination. Traceroute uses Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) echo packets with variable time to live
(TTL) values.
The response time of each hop is calculated. To guarantee accuracy, each hop is queried multiple times
(usually three times) to better measure the response of that particular hop. Traceroute sends packets with TTL
values that gradually increase from packet to packet, starting with TTL value of one. Routers decrement TTL
values of packets by one when routing and discard packets whose TTLvalue has reached zero, returning the ICMP
error message ICMP Time Exceeded.
For the first set of packets, the first router receives the packet, decrements the TTL value and drops the
packet because it then has TTL value zero. The router sends an ICMP Time Exceeded message back to the source.
The next set of packets are given a TTL value of two, so the first router forwards the packets, but the second
router drops them and replies with ICMP Time Exceeded.
Proceeding in this way, traceroute uses the returned ICMP Time Exceeded messages to build a list of routers that
packets traverse, until the destination is reached and returns an ICMP Echo Reply message.
With the tracert command shown above, we're asking tracert to show us the path from the local computer all
the way to the network device with the hostname
www.google.com.
#tracert google.com
6. Ping:
The ping command sends an echo request to a host available on the network. Using this command, you can
check if your remote host is responding well or not. Tracking and isolating hardware and software problems.
Determining the status of the network and various foreign hosts. The ping command is usually used as a simple
way to verify that a computer can communicate over the networkwith another computer or network device. The
ping command operates by sending Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) Echo Request messages to the
destination computer and waiting for a response
# ping172.16.6.2
RESULT:
Thus the various networks commands like tcpdump, netstat, ifconfig, nslookup and tracerouteping are
executed successfully.
Viva Questions
1. Define network.
A network consists of two or more computers that are linked in order to share resources (such
as printers and CDs), exchange files, or allow electronic communications. The computers on a
network may be linked through cables, telephone lines, radio waves, satellites, or infrared light
beams.
2. Define network topology.
The arrangement of a network that comprises nodes and connecting lines via sender and
receiver is referred to as network topology. The 4 Different Types of Computer Network
Topologies
 Bus Topology. Bus topologies have the simplest layout.
 Star Topology. In star topology, you use a central hub or switch as a sort of middle man
for data transmission.
 Ring Topology.
 Mesh Topology.
3. What is OSI Layers?
OSI stands for Open Systems Interconnection. It has been developed by ISO – ‘International
Organization for Standardization ‘, in the year 1984. It is a 7 layer architecture with each layer
having specific functionality to perform. All these 7 layers work collaboratively to transmit the
data from one person to another across the globe.
4. What is the use of netstat command?

Netstat provides statistics about all active connections so you can find out which computers or
networks a PC is connected to. You can use the network tool for Windows, Linux, and macOS
conveniently via the command line.
5. What is nslookup command?
nslookup (from name server lookup) is a network administration command-line tool for
querying the Domain Name System (DNS) to obtain the mapping between domain name and IP
address, or other DNS records.
6. What is the purpose of traceroute command?
The traceroute command is used to determine the path between two connections. Often a
connection to another device will have to go through multiple routers. The traceroute command
will return the names or IP addresses of all the routers between two devices.
7. What is ping command.
A ping (Packet Internet or Inter-Network Groper) is a basic Internet program that allows a user
to test and verify if a particular destination IP address exists and can accept requests in
computer network administration.
Ex.No: 2 Write a HTTP web client program to download a web page using TCP sockets
AIM:
To write a java program for socket for HTTP for web page upload and download .
PRE LAB DISCUSSION:

 HTTP means HyperText Transfer Protocol. HTTP is the underlying protocol used by the World
Wide Web and this protocol defines how messages are formatted and transmitted, and what
actions Web servers and browsers should take in response to various commands.
 For example, when you enter a URL in your browser, this actually sends an HTTP command to
the Web server directing it to fetch and transmit the requested Web page.
 The other main standard that controls how the World Wide Web works is HTML, which covers
how Web pages are formatted and displayed. HTTP functions asa request–response
protocol in the client–server computing model.
 A web browser, for example, may be the client and an application running on a computer hosting
a website may be the server.
 The client submits an HTTP request message to the server. The server, which provides
resources such as HTML files and other content, or performs other functions on behalf of the
client, returns a response message to the client.
 The response contains completion status information about the request and may also contain
requested content in its message body.

Viva Questions
1. What is URL.?
A URL (Uniform Resource Locator) is a unique identifier used to locate a resource on the Internet. It
is also referred to as a web address. URLs consist of multiple parts -- including a protocol and
domain name -- that tell a web browser how and where to retrieve a resource. End users use URLs by
typing them directly into the address bar of a browser or by clicking a hyperlink found on a webpage,
bookmark list, in an email or from another application.
2. Why is http required?
HTTP is a protocol for fetching resources such as HTML documents. It is the foundation of any data
exchange on the Web and it is a client-server protocol, which means requests are initiated by the
recipient, usually the Web browser.
3. What id http client?

An HTTP Client. An Http Client can be used to send requests and retrieve their responses. An Http
Client is created through a builder . The builder can be used to configure per-client state, like: the
preferred protocol version ( HTTP/1.1 or HTTP/2 ), whether to follow redirects, a proxy, an
authenticator, etc.
4. What is WWW?
The World Wide Web—commonly referred to as WWW, W3, or the Web—is an interconnected
system of public webpages accessible through the Internet. The Web is not the same as the Internet:
the Web is one of many applications built on top of the Internet.
5. Compare HTTP and FTP.
FTP refers to the set of rules that basically allows the process of uploading and downloading files
from a computer to the internet. HTTP refers to a set of rules that determines the process of transfer
of various web pages over various computers present on the internet.
6. Define Socket.
A socket is one endpoint of a two-way communication link between two programs running on the
network. A socket is bound to a port number so that the TCP layer can identify the application that
data is destined to be sent to.
7. What are the four Main properties of HTTP?
The Basic Characteristics of HTTP (Hyper Text Transfer Protocol):
 It is the protocol that allows web servers and browsers to exchange data over the web.
 It is a request response protocol. It uses the reliable TCP connections by default on TCP port 80.
Ex.No: 3 Applications using TCP sockets like: Echo client and echo server,
Chat and File Transfer
AIM
To write a java program for application using TCP Sockets Links
PRE LAB DISCUSSION:

 In the TCP Echo client a socket is created. Using the socket a connection is made to the server using
the connect() function. After a connection is established, we send messages input from the user and
display the data received from the server using send() and read() functions.
 In the TCP Echo server, we create a socket and bind to a advertized port number. After binding the
process listens for incoming connections. Then an infinite loop is started to process the client requests
for connections. After a connection is requested, it accepts the connection from the client machine
and forks a new process.
 The new process receives data from the lient using recv() function and echoes the same data using
the send() function. Please note hat this server is capable of handling multiple clients as it forks a new
process for every client trying to connect to the server. TCP socket routines enable reliable IP
communication using the transmission control protocol (TCP).
 The implementation of the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) in the Network Component. TCP
runs on top of the Internet Protocol (IP). TCP is a connection- oriented and reliable, full duplex
protocol supporting a pair of byte streams, one for each direction.
 A TCP connection must be established before exchanging data. TCP retransmits data that do not
reach the final destination due to errors or data corruption. Data is delivered in the sequence of its
transmission

Viva Questions
1. What is TCP?
Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) is a standard that defines how to establish and maintain a network
conversation by which applications can exchange data.
2. How is a TCP connection closed?
The client or the remote application server half-closes the TCP connection by sending a FIN/ACK packet.
In doing this, the client or the remote application server expects the other half of the TCP connection to
stay active.
3. What is Flow control in TCP?

Flow control deals with the amount of data sent to the receiver side without receiving any
acknowledgment. It makes sure that the receiver will not be overwhelmed with data. It's a kind of speed
synchronization process between the sender and the receiver.
4. What protocol is TCP?

Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) In terms of the OSI model, TCP is a transport-layer protocol. It
provides a reliable virtual-circuit connection between applications; that is, a connection is established
before data transmission begins.
5. What do you mean by active web page?

An active web page is a page where the browser performs the logic instead of the server. So for example
when you've got a page where you're showing share prices, then you want it to update e.g. every 5
seconds. A solution would be to use AJAX with JavaScript.
6. How is TCP Reliable?

Unlike UDP, TCP provides reliable message delivery. TCP ensures that data is not damaged, lost,
duplicated, or delivered out of order to a receiving process. This assurance of transport reliability keeps
applications programmers from having to build communications safeguards into their software.
7. What are the 6 TCP flags?

1st Flag - Urgent Pointer.
2nd Flag - Acknowledgement.
3rd Flag - PUSH.
4th Flag - Reset (RST) Flag.
5th Flag - Synchronization Flag.
6th Flag - FIN Flag
Ex.No: 4 Simulation of DNS using UDP Sockets
AIM
To write a java program for DNS application
PRE LAB DISCUSSION:
 The Domain Name System (DNS) is a hierarchical decentralized naming system for computers,
services, or other resources connected to the Internet or a private network. It associates various
information with domain names assigned to each of the participating entities.
 The domain name space refers a hierarchy in the internet naming structure. This hierarchy has
multiple levels (from 0 to 127), with a root at the top. The following diagram shows the domain
name space hierarchy.
 Name server contains the DNS database. This database comprises of various names and their
corresponding IP addresses. Since it is not possible for a single server to maintain entire DNS
database, therefore, the information is distributed among many DNS servers.
 Types of Name Servers
 Root Server is the top level server which consists of the entire DNS tree. It does not contain the
information about domains but delegates the authority to the other server
 Primary Server stores a file about its zone. It has authority to create, maintain, and updatethe zone
file.
 Secondary Server transfers complete information about a zone from another server whichmay be
primary or secondary server. The secondary server does not have authority to create or update a
zone file.
 DNS is a TCP/IP protocol used on different platforms. The domain name space is dividedinto three
different sections: generic domains, country domains, and inverse domain.
 The main function of DNS is to translate domain names into IP Addresses, which computers can
understand. It also provides a list of mail servers which accept Emails for each domain name. Each
domain name in DNS will nominate a set of name servers to be authoritative for its DNS records.

Viva Questions
1. Explain how TCP avoids a network meltdown?

The deployment of TCP tunnels reduces the many flows situation on the Internet to that of a few
flows. TCP tunnels eliminate unnecessary packet loss n the core routers of the congested backbones
which waste precious bandwidth leading to congestion collapse due to unresponsive UDP flows.
2. Discuss piggybacking.
Piggybacking is the term for the method that is used to increase the effectiveness of more extensive
external treatments. A frame can control information about lost frames from Q when it conveys data
from P to Q, and it can control information about the arrived frame from P when it carries data from Q
to P.
3. What kinds of errors are there?
There are mainly two types of error, including:
 Single bit error: In this error, only one bit in the data unit is altered.
 Burst error: two or more data bits will be altered in this error.
4. What is a sliding window?
The range of sequence numbers is described by an abstract idea. Also, it is a concern of the sender and
receiver. On the other hand, the receiver and the sender should deal with it if they only have access to
a portion of the possible sequence number.
5. What is the range of addresses in the class of Internet address?
Class A - 0.0.0.0 - 127.255.255.255
Class B - 128.0.0.0 - 191.255.255.255
Class C - 192.0.0.0 - 223.255.255.255
Class D - 224.0.0.0 - 239.255.255.255
Class E - 240.0.0.0 - 247.255.255.255
Ex.No: 5 Use a tool like Wireshark to capture packets and examine the packets
AIM
To Use a tool like Wireshark to capture packets and examine the packets.
PROCEDURE
To install Wireshark, a popular network protocol analyzer, follow these steps:
Step 1: Download the installer

Visit the official Wireshark website at https://www.wireshark.org/. Navigate to the "Download" section and select
the windows installer for your operating system.
Step 2: Run the installer

Once the installer is downloaded, locate the file and run it. Follow the on-screen prompts to start the installation
process.
Step 3: Choose installation options

During the installation, you will be presented with various options. You can choose the default settings or customize
them based on your preferences. These options may include selecting additional features, such as WinPcap or Npcap
(packet capture libraries), and choosing whether to install Wireshark as a system-wide tool.
Step 4: Install additional components (if required)

Depending on your operating system, you may need to install additional components such as WinPcap or Npcap.
These components provide the underlying packet capture functionality for Wireshark. If prompted, follow the on-
screen instructions to install these components.
Step 5: Complete the installation

Once all the necessary components and options are selected, the installer will proceed with the installation process.
Wait for the installation to finish.
Step 6: Launch Wireshark

After the installation is complete, you can launch Wireshark by locating the application in system's applications
menu.
We can now use it to capture, analyze, and inspect network traffic.

Run the application with administrator privileges.
Click on the network interface you want to capture packets from in the interface list. Then click the "Start" button (a
green shark fin icon) or select "Capture" from the menu and choose "Start".
Wireshark will begin capturing packets on the selected network interface. You can observe the captured packets in
real-time in the main Wireshark window. The packets will be displayed as a list, with details such as source and
destination IP addresses, protocols, packet lengths, etc.
To filter the captured packets based on specific criteria, you can use the filter bar located at the top of the Wireshark
window. Enter your filter expression in the filter bar and press Enter or click the "Apply" button to apply the filter.
You can filter packets based on various criteria such as IP addresses, protocols, port numbers, packet types, etc.
Wireshark uses a syntax called Wireshark Display Filters, which allows you to construct complex filtering
expressions.
For example, to filter packets only from a specific IP address, you can use the following filter expression:
ip.src == 192.168.1.100
To filter packets using multiple criteria, you can combine filters using logical operators such as "and" and "or". For
example:
ip.src == 192.168.1.100 and tcp.port == 80
After applying a filter, Wireshark will display only the packets that match the specified criteria. You can further
analyze and inspect these filtered packets to gather information about the network traffic.
Clear or disable the filter to view the entire packet capture again.
RESULT
Thus the installation of Wireshark to capture packets and examine the packets tool was completed
successfully.
Viva Questions
1. What is Wireshark?
Wireshark® is a network protocol analyzer. It lets you capture and interactively browse the traffic
running on a computer network. It has a rich and powerful feature set and is world's most popular tool of
its kind. It runs on most computing platforms including Windows, macOS, Linux, and UNIX.
2. How would you setup wireshark to monitor packets passing through an internet router
A system on the network can be configured and setup with wireshark. The appropriate port on the
switch to which the system and internet router is connected can be configured for port mirroring. All
packets passing through the switch interface to the router can be mirrored to the system on which
wireshark is setup.
3. Is it possible to start wireshark from command line on Windows
Yes, it is possible to start using the appropriate executable on Windows which is wireshark.exe
4. What kind of shark is Wireshark?
carcharodon photoshopia.
5. How do I use Wireshark to find a password in my network?
Wireshark cannot sniff SSL-protected (HTTPS) passwords unless an encryption key is provided: There
is a different way to sniff HTTPS data (without providing a key), see here (run Wine for windows apps):
Just a friendly reminder, like any other prank war, think twice before you get in trouble with the law.
6. How do I modify Wireshark packets on the fly?
Ans: Wireshark is a packet capture & inspection program, not a packet injection program. What you’re
asking about appears to be a man-in-the-middle attack so I’m not going to assist you in that.
7. Can't install wireshark?
The program you used to download it may have downloaded it incorrectly. Web browsers and download
accelerators sometimes may do this. Re-download it and check if the file is supported for your system.
Ex.No:6 Write a code simulating ARP /RARP protocols
AIM:
To write a java program for simulating ARP and RARP protocols using TCP.
PRE LAB DISCUSSION:
 Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) is a low-level network protocol for translating network layer
addresses into link layer addresses. ARP lies between layers 2 and 3 of the OSI model, although
ARP was not included in the OSI framework and allows computers to introduce each other across
a network prior to communication. Because protocols are basic network communication units,
address resolution is dependent on protocols such as ARP, which is the only reliable method of
handling required tasks.
 The Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) is a communication protocol used for
discovering the link layer address, such as a MAC address, associated with a given internet layer
address,
 When configuring a new network computer, each system is assigned an Internet Protocol (IP)
address for primary identification and communication. A computer also has a unique media access
control (MAC) address identity. Manufacturers embed the MAC address in the local area network
(LAN) card. The MAC address is also known as the computer‘s physical address.
 Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) is used to resolve an IPv4 address (32 bit Logical Address) to
the physical address (48 bit MAC Address). Network Applications at the Application Layer use
IPv4 Address to communicate with another device.
 Reverse Address Resolution Protocol (RARP) is a network protocol used to resolve adata link
layer address to the corresponding network layer address. For example, RARP is used to
resolve a Ethernet MAC address to an IP address.
 The client broadcasts a RARP packet with an ethernet broadcast address, and it's own physical
address in the data portion. The server responds by telling the client it's IP address. Note there is no
name sent. Also note there is no security.
 Media Access Control (MAC) addresses need to be individually configured on theservers by an
administrator. RARP is limited to serving only IP addresses. Reverse ARPdiffers from the
Inverse Address Resolution Protocol which is designed to obtain the IPaddress associated with a
local Frame Relay data link connection identifier. In ARP is not used in Ethernet.

Viva Questions
1. What is ARP?
Address Resolution Protocol maps the IP address to a machine’s MAC address, and networks determine
that. ARC works at layer 2 of the OSI model, and all the communications between two devices at the
data-link layer are done through the physical address. So ARC basically replace the IP communication by
MAC address by building a MAC table.
2. How does ARP work?
If the host’s IP address resolved, the ARP module will send an ARP reply packet containing its Ethernet
MAC address.
If the IP address being resolved is for this host, then the ARP module updates the ARP cache with the
source Ethernet MAC addresses to the source IP address mapping in the ARP request package. It is
overwritten if the entry is already in the cache. It is overwritten if it isn’t.
3. What is the arp cache?
The arp cache is a table that stores mappings of IP address to physical addresses. The arp cache is used by
hosts to quickly resolve IP addresses to physical addresses without sending an ARP request datagram.
4. What is inverse ARP?
Inverse Address Resolution Protocol (Inverse ARP or InARP) is utilized to get the network layer
addresses (for instance, IP addresses) of other nodes based on Data Link Layer (Layer 2) addresses.
Because ARP converts layer-3 addresses into layers-2 addresses, InARP can be described as the reverse.
5. What is reverse ARP?
Reverse arp (RARP) is a protocol that allows a host to obtain its own IP address from a host when its
MAC address is known. RARP is used when a host does not have a static IP address and needs to obtain
one from a server.
6. Which OSI layer ARP belongs to?
ARP belongs to the data link layer (Layer 2).
7. What is the arp command?
The arp command is a utility that can be used to view and modify the arp cache. The arp command is
available on most Unix-like operating systems.
8. Who maintains ARP table?
Every host in an internet network has an arp table of its own. Arp tables is used to record IP address
mappings in physical addresses.

NS(Network Simulators)
Most of the commercial simulators are GUI driven, while some network simulators are CLI driven.
The network model / configuration describes the state of the network (nodes, routers, switches, links) and
the events (data transmissions, packet error etc.). An important output of simulations are the trace files.
Trace files log every packet, every event that occurred in the simulation and are used for analysis. Network
simulators can also provide other tools to facilitatevisual analysis of trends and potential trouble spots.
Most network simulators use discrete event simulation, in which a list of pending "events" is stored,
and those events are processed in order, with some events triggering future events—such as the event of
the arrival of a packet at one node triggering the event of the arrival of that packet at a downstream node.
Simulation of networks is a very complex task. For example, if congestion is high, then estimation
of the average occupancy is challenging because of high variance. To estimate the likelihood of a buffer
overflow in a network, the time required for an accurate answer can be extremely large. Specialized
techniques such as "control variates" and "importance sampling" have been developed to speed simulation.
Examples of network simulators
There are many both free/open-source and proprietary network simulators. Examples of notable
network simulation software are, ordered after how often they are mentioned in research papers:
1. ns (open source)
2. OPNET (proprietary software)
3. NetSim (proprietary software)
Uses of network simulators
Network simulators serve a variety of needs. Compared to the cost and time involved in setting up
an entire test bed containing multiple networked computers, routers and data links, network simulators are
relatively fast and inexpensive. They allow engineers, researchers to test scenarios that might be particularly
difficult or expensive to emulate using real hardware - for instance, simulating a scenario with several nodes
or experimenting with a new protocol in the network. Network simulators are particularly useful in allowing
researchers to test new networking protocols or changes to existing protocols in a controlled and
reproducible environment. A typical network simulator encompasses a wide range of networking
technologiesand can help the users to build complex networks from basic building blocks such as a variety
of nodes and links. With the help of simulators, one can design hierarchical networks using various types
of nodes like computers, hubs, bridges, routers, switches, links, mobile units etc.
Various types of Wide Area Network (WAN) technologies like TCP, ATM, IP etc. and Local Area
Network (LAN) technologies like Ethernet, token rings etc., can all be simulatedwith a typical simulator
and the user can test, analyze various standard results apart fromdevising some novel protocol or strategy
for routing etc. Network simulators are also widely used to simulate battlefield networks in Network-
centric warfare.
There are a wide variety of network simulators, ranging from the very simple to the very complex.
Minimally, a network simulator must enable a user to represent a network topology, specifying the nodes
on the network, the links between those nodes and the traffic between the nodes. More complicated systems
may allow the user to specify everything about the protocols used to handle traffic in a network. Graphical
applications allow users to easily visualize the workings of their simulated environment. Text-based
applications may provide a less intuitive interface, but may permit more advanced forms of customization.
Packet loss
Packet loss occurs when one or more packets of data travelling across a computernetwork fail to
reach their destination. Packet loss is distinguished as one of the three main error types encountered in
digital communications; the other two being bit error and spurious packets caused due to noise.
Packets can be lost in a network because they may be dropped when a queue in the network node
overflows. The amount of packet loss during the steady state is another important property of a congestion
control scheme. The larger the value of packet loss, the more difficult it is for transport layer protocols to
maintain high bandwidths, the sensitivity to loss of individual
packets, as well as to frequency and patterns of loss among longer packet sequences is strongly
dependent on the application itself.
Throughput
Throughput is the main performance measure characteristic, and most widely used. In communication
networks, such as Ethernet or packet radio, throughput or network throughput is the average rate of
successful message delivery over a communication channel. Throughput is usually measured in bits per
second (bit/s or bps), and sometimes in data packets per second or data packets per time slot. This measures
how soon the receiver is able to get a certain amount of data send by the sender. It is determined as the ratio
of the total data received to the end to end delay. Throughput is an important factor which directly impacts
the network performance.
Delay
Delay is the time elapsed while a packet travels from one point e.g., source premise or
network ingress to destination premise or network degrees. The larger the value of delay, the more difficult
it is for transport layer protocols to maintain high bandwidths. We will calculate end to end delay
Queue Length
A queuing system in networks can be described as packets arriving for service, waiting for service if
it is not immediate, and if having waited for service, leaving the system after being served. Thus queue
length is very important characteristic to determine that how well the active queue management of the
congestion control algorithm has been working.
Congestion control Algorithms

Slow-start is used in conjunction with other algorithms to avoid sending more data than the network is
capable of transmitting, that is, to avoid causing network congestion. The additive increase/multiplicative
decrease (AIMD) algorithm is a feedback control algorithm. AIMD combines linear growth of the
congestion window with an exponential reduction when a congestion takes place. Multiple flows using
AIMD congestion control will eventually converge to use equal amounts of a contended link. Fast
Retransmit is an enhancement to TCP that reducesthe time a sender waits before retransmitting a lost
segment.

Viva Questions
1. Which language is used in ns2?

In ns2, C++ is used for detailed protocol implementation and Otcl is used for the setup.
2. What are the four files on the NS2 simulator?
S2 uses a tcl file to view the simulation of a network The objective
3. What is meant by ns2?

Network Simulator 2 (NS2) provides substantial support for simulation of different protocols over
wired and wireless networks. It provides a highly modular platform for wired and wireless simulations
supporting different network elements, protocols, traffic, and routing types [20].
4. List the basic functions of routers.
A router is a device that connects two or more packet-switched networks or subnetworks. It serves two
primary functions: managing traffic between these networks by forwarding data packets to their intended
IP addresses, and allowing multiple devices to use the same Internet connection.
5. What are well-known ports?
Port numbers from 0 to 1023 are reserved for common TCP/IP applications and are called well-known
ports. The use of well-known ports allows client applications to easily locate the corresponding server
application processes on other hosts.
Telnet: 23/tcp
Ftp-data: 20/tcp
Ftp: 21/tcp
6. What do you mean by MTU (Maximum transfer Unit)?
MTU is the largest packet or frame size, specified in octets (eight-bit bytes) that can be sent in a packet-
or frame-based network. The internet's transmission control protocol (TCP) uses the MTU to determine the
maximum size of each packet in any transmission.
7. How do we increase the throughput?
6 Ways to Improve Throughput
 Review Your Existing Workflow. The first place to start when trying to increase your throughput
is to review your existing workflow.
 Eliminate Bottlenecks.
 Reduce Equipment Downtime.
 Reduce Parts Rejection Rate.
Ex.No: 8 Study of TCP/UDP performance using Simulation tool.
AIM:
To simulate the performance of TCP/UDP using NS2.
PRE LAB DISCUSSION:
 TCP is reliable protocol. That is, the receiver always sends either positive or negative
acknowledgement about the data packet to the sender, so that the sender always has bright clue
about whether the data packet is reached the destination or it needs to resend it.
 TCP ensures that the data reaches intended destination in the same order it was sent.
 TCP is connection oriented. TCP requires that connection between two remote points be
established before sending actual data.
 TCP provides error-checking and recovery mechanism.
 TCP provides end-to-end communication.
 TCP provides flow control and quality of service.
 TCP operates in Client/Server point-to-point mode.
 TCP provides full duplex server, i.e. it can perform roles of both receiver and sender.
 The User Datagram Protocol (UDP) is simplest Transport Layer communication protocolavailable
of the TCP/IP protocol suite. It involves minimum amount of communication mechanism. UDP
is said to be an unreliable transport protocol but it uses IP services which provides best effort
delivery mechanism. UDP is used when acknowledgement of data does not hold any significance.
 UDP is good protocol for data flowing in one direction.
 UDP is simple and suitable for query based communications.
 UDP is not connection oriented.
 UDP does not provide congestion control mechanism.
 UDP does not guarantee ordered delivery of data.
 UDP is stateless.
 UDP is suitable protocol for streaming applications such as VoIP, multimedia streaming.

Viva Questions
1. What type of transport protocol is used for DNS..

DNS uses TCP for Zone transfer and UDP for name, and queries either regular (primary) or reverse.
2. What layer is DNS?
In the TCP/IP Protocol suite, DNS is an application layer protocol.
3. What is difference between IP address and DNS?
A system called the Domain Name System, or DNS, associates names, like www.example.com, with
the corresponding addresses. Your computer uses the DNS to look up domain names and get the
associated IP address, which is used to connect your computer to the destination on the internet.
4. What is TCP Echo Client Server?
In the TCP Echo Client, a socket is created. Using the socket, a connection is made to the server using
the connect () function. After a connection is established, we send messages input from the user and
display the data received from the server using send () and read () functions.
5. Define an autonomous system.
The Internet is a network of networks*, and autonomous systems are the big networks that make up the
Internet. More specifically, an autonomous system (AS) is a large network or group of networks that
has a unified routing policy. Every computer or device that connects to the Internet is connected to an
AS.
6. Define the three states of TCP Connection establishment and termination.
TCP uses a three-way handshake to establish a reliable connection. The connection is full duplex, and
both sides synchronize (SYN) and acknowledge (ACK) each other. The exchange of these four flags is
performed in three steps—SYN, SYN-ACK, and ACK.

AIM:
To simulate the Distance vector and link state routing protocols using NS2.
PRE LAB DISCUSSION:
LINK STATE ROUTING

Routing is the process of selecting best paths in a network. In the past, the term routing was also
used to mean forwarding network traffic among networks. However this latter function is much better
described as simply forwarding. Routing is performed for many kinds of networks, including the telephone
network (circuit switching), electronic data networks (such as the Internet), and transportation networks.
This article is concerned primarily with routing in electronic data networks using packet switching
technology.
In packet switching networks, routing directs packet forwarding (the transit of logically addressed
network packets from their source toward their ultimate destination) through intermediate nodes.
Intermediate nodes are typically network hardware devices such as routers, bridges, gateways, firewalls, or
switches. General-purpose computers can also forward packets and perform routing, though they are not
specialized hardware and may suffer from limited performance. The routing process usually directs
forwarding on the basis of routing tables which maintain a record of the routes to various network
destinations. Thus, constructing routing tables,which are held in the router's memory, is very important for
efficient routing. Most routing algorithms use only one network path at a time. Multipath routing techniques
enable the use of multiple alternative paths.
In case of overlapping/equal routes, the following elements are considered in order to decide which
routes get installed into the routing table (sorted by priority):
1. Prefix-Length: where longer subnet masks are preferred (independent of whether it iswithin
a routing protocol or over different routing protocol)
2. Metric: where a lower metric/cost is preferred (only valid within one and the same
routing protocol)
3. Administrative distance: where a lower distance is preferred (only valid between different
routing protocols)
Routing, in a more narrow sense of the term, is often contrasted with bridging in its assumption
that network addresses are structured and that similar addresses imply proximity within the network.
Structured addresses allow a single routing table entry to represent the route to a group of devices. In large
networks, structured addressing (routing, in the narrow sense) outperforms unstructured addressing
(bridging). Routing has become the dominant form ofaddressing on the Internet. Bridging is still widely
used within localized environments.
b. Flooding
Flooding is a simple routing algorithm in which every incoming packet is sent through every
outgoing link except the one it arrived on. Flooding is used in bridging and in systems suchas Usenet and
peer-to-peer file sharing and as part of some routing protocols, including OSPF, DVMRP, and those used
in ad-hoc wireless networks. There are generally two types of flooding available, Uncontrolled Flooding
and Controlled Flooding. Uncontrolled Flooding is the fatal law of flooding. All nodes have neighbours
and route packets indefinitely. More than two neighbours creates a broadcast storm.
Controlled Flooding has its own two algorithms to make it reliable, SNCF (Sequence Number
Controlled Flooding) and RPF (Reverse Path Flooding). In SNCF, the node attaches its own address and
sequence number to the packet, since every node has a memory of addresses and sequence numbers. If it
receives a packet in memory, it drops it immediately while in RPF, the node will only send the packet
forward. If it is received from the next node, it sends it back tothe sender.
Distance vector Routing:

In computer communication theory relating to packet-switched networks, a distance- vector
routing protocol is one of the two major classes of routing protocols, the other major class being the link-
state protocol. Distance-vector routing protocols use the Bellman–Ford algorithm, Ford–Fulkerson
algorithm, or DUAL FSM (in the case of Cisco Systems's protocols) to calculate paths.
A distance-vector routing protocol requires that a router informs its neighbors of topologychanges
periodically. Compared to link-state protocols, which require a router to inform all the nodes in a network
of topology changes, distance-vector routing protocols have lesscomputational complexity and message
overhead.
The term distance vector refers to the fact that the protocol manipulates vectors (arrays) of
distances to other nodes in the network. The vector distance algorithm was the original ARPANET routing
algorithm and was also used in the internet under the name of RIP (Routing Information Protocol).
Examples of distance-vector routing protocols include RIPv1 and RIPv2 and IGRP.
Method
Routers using distance-vector protocol do not have knowledge of the entire path to a
destination. Instead they use two methods:
1. Direction in which router or exit interface a packet should be forwarded.
2. Distance from its destination
Distance-vector protocols are based on calculating the direction and distance to any link in a
network. "Direction" usually means the next hop address and the exit interface. "Distance" isa measure of
the cost to reach a certain node. The least cost route between any two nodes is the route with minimum
distance. Each node maintains a vector (table) of minimum distance to
every node. The cost of reaching a destination is calculated using various route metrics. RIP uses the hop
count of the destination whereas IGRP takes into account other information such as nodedelay and available
bandwidth.
Updates are performed periodically in a distance-vector protocol where all or part of a router's
routing table is sent to all its neighbors that are configured to use the same distance- vector routing protocol.
RIP supports cross-platform distance vector routing whereas IGRP is a Cisco Systems proprietary distance
vector routing protocol. Once a router has this information it is able to amend its own routing table to reflect
the changes and then inform its neighbors of the changes. This process has been described as ‗routing by
rumor‗ because routers are relying on the information they receive from other routers and cannot determine
if the information is actually valid and true. There are a number of features which can be used to help with
instability and inaccurate routing information.
EGP and BGP are not pure distance-vector routing protocols because a distance-vector protocol
calculates routes based only on link costs whereas in BGP, for example, the local route preference value
takes priority over the link cost.
Count-to-infinity problem
The Bellman–Ford algorithm does not prevent routing loops from happening and suffers from the
count-to-infinity problem. The core of the count-to-infinity problem is that if A tells Bthat it has a path
somewhere, there is no way for B to know if the path has B as a part of it. To see the problem clearly,
imagine a subnet connected like A–B–C–D–E–F, and let the metric between the routers be "number of
jumps". Now suppose that A is taken offline. In the vector- update-process B notices that the route to A,
which was distance 1, is down – B does not receive the vector update from A. The problem is, B also gets
an update from C, and C is still not aware of the fact that A is down – so it tells B that A is only two jumps
from C (C to B to A), which is false. This slowly propagates through the network until it reaches infinity
(in which case the algorithm corrects itself, due to the relaxation property of Bellman–Ford).

Viva Questions
1. Describe the difference between static and dynamic routing

Static Routing:
Static Routing is also known as non-adaptive routing which doesn’t change the routing table unless the
network administrator changes or modifies them manually. Static routing does not use complex routing
algorithms and It provides high or more security than dynamic routing.
Dynamic Routing:
Dynamic routing is also known as adaptive routing which changes the routing table according to the
change in topology. Dynamic routing uses complex routing algorithms and it does not provide high
security like static routing. When the network change(topology) occurs, it sends the message to the
router to ensure that changes then the routes are recalculated for sending updated routing information.
2. Describe the process of routing packets.
In packet switching networks, routing is the higher-level decision making that directs network packets
from their source toward their destination through intermediate network nodes by specific packet
forwarding mechanisms. Packet forwarding is the transit of network packets from one network
interface to another.
3. What type of protocol is BGP?
BGP (Border Gateway Protocol) is the protocol underlying the global routing system of the internet. It
manages how packets get routed from network to network through the exchange of routing and
reachability information among edge routers.
4. Mention the roles of Transport layer.

Transport Layer provides transparent transfer of data between end users, providing reliable data
transfer services to the upper layers. The transport layer controls the reliability of a given link through
flow control, segmentation, de segmentation and error control.
5. What are some of the merits used by routing protocols?
Distance vector and link state protocols. Interior gateway (IGP) and exterior gateway (EGP) protocols.
Class full and classless protocols.
Routing information protocol (RIP)
Interior gateway protocol (IGRP)
6. List the basic functions of routers.
A router is a device that connects two or more packet-switched networks or sub networks. It serves two
primary functions: managing traffic between these networks by forwarding data packets to their
intended IP addresses, and allowing multiple devices to use the same Internet connection.
7. What are the advantages of distance vector routing?
Distance vector routing protocol is easy to implement in small networks. Debugging is very easy in the
distance vector routing protocol.
This protocol has a very limited redundancy in a small network.
Ex.No:10 Simulation of Error Detection Code (like CRC)
AIM:
To implement error checking code using java.
PRE LAB DISSCUSSION:
The cyclic redundancy check, or CRC, is a technique for detecting errors in digital data, but
not for making corrections when errors are detected. It is used primarily in data transmission.
In the CRC method, a certain number of check bits, often called a checksum, are appended to
the message being transmitted. The receiver can determine whether or not the check bits agree with the
data, to ascertain with a certain degree of probability whether or not an error occurred intransmission.
CRC involves binary division of the data bits being sent by a predetermined divisor agreed
upon by the communicating system. The divisor is generated using polynomials. So, CRC is also called
polynomial code checksum.
CRC uses Generator Polynomial which is available on both sender and receiver side. An
example generator polynomial is of the form like x3 + x + 1. This generator polynomial represents key
1011. Another example is x2 + 1 that represents key 101.
Sender Side (Generation of Encoded Data from Data and Generator Polynomial (or Key)):
 The binary data is first augmented by adding k-1 zeros in the end of the data
 Use modulo-2 binary division to divide binary data by the key and store remainder of division.
 Append the remainder at the end of the data to form the encoded data and send the same
Receiver Side (Check if there are errors introduced in transmission)
Perform modulo-2 division again and if remainder is 0, then there are no errors.
Modulo 2 Division:
 The process of modulo-2 binary division is the same as the familiar division process we use
for decimal numbers. Just that instead of subtraction, we use XOR here.
 In each step, a copy of the divisor (or data) is XORed with the k bits of the dividend (or key).
 The result of the XOR operation (remainder) is (n-1) bits, which is used for the next step
after 1 extra bit is pulled down to make it n bits long.
 When there are no bits left to pull down, we have a result. The (n-1)-bit remainder which is
appended at the sender side.
ALGORITHM:
1. Start the Program

2. Given a bit string, append 0S to the end of it (the number of 0s is the same as the degreeof the
generator polynomial) let B(x) be the polynomial corresponding to B.
3. Divide B(x) by some agreed on polynomial G(x) (generator polynomial) and determinethe
remainder R(x). This division is to be done using Modulo 2 Division.
4. Define T(x) = B(x) –R(x)
5. (T(x)/G(x) => remainder 0)
6. Transmit T, the bit string corresponding to T(x).
7. Let T‘ represent the bit stream the receiver gets and T‘(x) the associated polynomial. The receiver
divides T1(x) by G(x). If there is a 0 remainder, the receiver concludes T = T‘ and no error occurred
otherwise, the receiver concludes an error occurred and requires a retransmission

Viva Questions
1. What are the types of error detection?

Types of Error detection
• Parity Checking.
• Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC)
• Longitudinal Redundancy Check (LRC)
• Check Sum.
2. What are the error correction techniques?
Error Correction can be handled in two ways: Backward error correction: Once the error is discovered,
the receiver requests the sender to retransmit the entire data unit. Forward error correction: In this case,
the receiver uses the error-correcting code which automatically corrects the errors.
3. What is meant by error control?
Error control is basically process in data link layer of detecting or identifying and re-transmitting data
frames that might be lost or corrupted during transmission.
4. How do you calculate checksum?
To calculate the checksum of an API frame: Add all bytes of the packet, except the start delimiter 0x7E
and the length (the second and third bytes). Keep only the lowest 8 bits from the result. Subtract this
quantity from 0Xff.
5. What is Flow control in networks?
Flow control deals with the amount of data sent to the receiver side without receiving any
acknowledgment. It makes sure that the receiver will not be overwhelmed with data. It's a kind of speed
synchronization process between the sender and the receiver.
6. Which is operated in the Data Link and the Network layer?

Network devices that operate at this layer include Layer 2 switches (switching hubs) and bridges. The
data link layer is divided into two sublayers: Logical Link Control (LLC) sublayer provides the logic for
the data link.
7. State the purpose of layering.
The layered concept of networking was developed to accommodate changes in technology. Each layer
of a specific network model may be responsible for a different function of the network. Each layer will
pass information up and down to the next subsequent layer as data is processed.
TOPIC BEYOND SYLLABUS
Ex.no.11.a. Simulation of Go Back N protocol
AIM:
To Simulate and to study of Go Back N protocol
PRE LAB DISCUSSION:
 Go Back N is a connection oriented transmission. The sender transmits the framescontinuously.

Each frame in the buffer has a sequence number starting from 1 and increasing up to the window
size.
 The sender has a window i.e. a buffer to store the frames. This buffer size is the number of frames
to be transmitted continuously.
 A station may send multiple frames as allowed by the window size.
 Receiver sends an ACK i if frame i has an error. After that, the receiver discards all incoming
frames until the frame with error is correctly retransmitted.
 Go-Back-N Automatic Repeat request (Go-Back-N ARQ), is a data link layer protocol that uses a
sliding window method for reliable and sequential delivery of data frames. It is a case of sliding
window protocol having to send window size of N and receiving window size of 1.
 Go – Back – N ARQ uses the concept of protocol pipelining, i.e. sending multiple framesbefore
receiving the acknowledgment for the first frame. The frames are sequentially numbered and a
finite number of frames. The maximum number of frames that can be sent depends upon the size
of the sending window. If the acknowledgment of a frame is not received within an agreed upon
time period, all frames starting from that frame are retransmitted.
 The size of the sending window determines the sequence number of the outbound frames. If the
sequence number of the frames is an n-bit field, then the range of sequence numbers that can be
assigned is 0 to 2n−1. Consequently, the size of the sending window is 2n−1. Thus in order to
accommodate a sending window size of 2n−1, an n-bit sequencenumber is chosen.
 The sequence numbers are numbered as modulo-n. For example, if the sending window size is 4,
then the sequence numbers will be 0, 1, 2, 3, 0, 1, 2, 3, 0, 1, and so on. The number of bits in the
sequence number is 2 to generate the binary sequence 00, 01, 10, 11.
 The size of the receiving window is 1
ALGORITHM :
1. The source node transmits the frames continuously.
2. Each frame in the buffer has a sequence number starting from 1 and increasing up to thewindow
size.
3. The source node has a window i.e. a buffer to store the frames. This buffer size is thenumber
of frames to be transmitted continuously.
4. The size of the window depends on the protocol designer.
5. For the first frame, the receiving node forms a positive acknowledgement if the frame is received
without error.
6. If subsequent frames are received without error (up to window size) cumulative positive
acknowledgement is formed.
7. If the subsequent frame is received with error, the cumulative acknowledgment error-free frames
are transmitted. If in the same window two frames or more frames are received with error, the
second and the subsequent error frames are neglected. Similarly even the frames received without
error after the receipt of a frame with error are neglected.
8. The source node retransmits all frames of window from the first error frame.
9. If the frames are errorless in the next transmission and if the acknowledgment is errorfree,
the window slides by the number of error-free frames being transmitted.
10. If the acknowledgment is transmitted with error, all the frames of window at source are
retransmitted, and window doesn‘t slide.
11. This concept of repeating the transmission from the first error frame in the window iscalled
as GOBACKN transmission flow control protocol.

Viva Questions
1. What is go back N protocol in networking?

The Go-Back-N protocol is a data link layer and transport layer protocol that employs the sliding
window approach to send data frames reliably and sequentially. We'll first look at the sliding window
protocol and then review the Go-Back-N functions. The sliding window protocol enables sending
numerous frames at once.
2. What is the size of the go back n window?
In Go back N, sender window size is N and receiver window size is always 1. In Go back N, Sender
window size = N. Example in Go back 10, sender window size will be 10.
3. Is TCP a Go-Back-N protocol?
Go-Back-N - an overview | ScienceDirect Topics
Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)
The error and flow control procedures associated with the data transfer phase are based on the “Go-
back-N” error control strategy and a sliding window flow control mechanism.
4. What is the working principle of Go-Back-N window?
Working Principle
The frames are sequentially numbered and a finite number of frames. The maximum number of frames
that can be sent depends upon the size of the sending window. If the acknowledgment of a frame is not
received within an agreed upon time period, all frames starting from that frame are retransmitted.
5. Why is TCP end-to-end?
The TCP/IP transport layer ensures that packets arrive in sequence and without error, by swapping
acknowledgments of data reception, and retransmitting lost packets. This type of communication is
known as end-to-end.
6. Where is TCP IP used?
TCP/IP: What is TCP/IP and How Does it Work?
TCP/IP stands for Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol and is a suite of communication
protocols used to interconnect network devices on the internet.
Ex.No.12 CARRIER SENSE MULTIPLE ACCESS
AIM
To write a ns2 program for implementing carrier sense multiple access.
PRE LAB DISCUSSION

Carrier Sensed Multiple Access (CSMA) : CSMA is a network access method used on shared
network topologies such as Ethernet to control access to the network. Devices attached to the network cable
listen (carrier sense) before transmitting. If the channel is in use, devices wait before transmitting. MA
(Multiple Access) indicates that many devices can connect to and share the same network.
All devices have equal access to use the network when it is clear.In other words, a station that wants
to communicate "listen" first on the media communication and awaits a "silence" of a preset time (called
the Distributed Inter Frame Space or DIFS). After this compulsory period, thestation starts a countdown for
a random period considered. The maximum duration of this countdown is called the collision window
(Window Collision, CW). If no equipment speaks before the end of the countdown, the station simply
deliver its package.
However, if it is overtaken by another station, it stops immediately its countdown and waits for the
next silence. then continued his account countdown where it left off. This is summarized in Figure. The
waiting time random has the advantage of allowing a statistically equitable distribution of speaking time
between the various network equipment, while making little unlikely (but not impossible) that both devices
speak exactly the same time.
The countdown system prevents a station waiting too long before issuing its package. It's a bit what
place in a meeting room when no master session (and all the World's polite) expecteda silence, then a few
moments before speaking, to allow time for someone else to speak. The time is and randomly assigned,
that is to say, more or less equally.

Viva Questions
1. Define multicasting
Multicast is a method of group communication where the sender sends data to multiple
receivers or nodes present in the network simultaneously. Multicasting is a type of one-to-many
and many-to-many communication as it allows sender or senders to send data packets to
multiple receivers at once across LANs or WANs. This process helps in minimizing the data
frame of the network.
2. How to ensure that it is our station’s data that collided?
For this, Transmission time (Tt) > Propagation Time (Tp) [Rough bound]
This is because we want that before we transmit the last bit of our data from our station, we
should at least be sure that some of the bits have already reached their destination. This ensures
that the link is not busy and collisions will not occur.
But, above is a loose bound. We have not taken the time taken by the collision signal to travel
back to us
3. What are MAC addresses?
MAC address is the physical address, which uniquely identifies each device on a given
network. To make communication between two networked devices, we need two addresses: IP
address and MAC address. It is assigned to the NIC (Network Interface card) of each device
that can be connected to the internet.
4. What are the responsibilities of data link layer ?
The data link layer is responsible for multiplexing data streams, data frame detection, medium
access, and error control. It ensures reliable point-to-point and point-to-multipoint connections
in a communication network.
5. Which is operated in the Data Link and the Network layer?
Network devices that operate at this layer include Layer 2 switches (switching hubs) and
bridges. The data link layer is divided into two sublayers: Logical Link Control (LLC) sublayer
provides the logic for the data link.
6. Explain CSMA
This method was developed to decrease the chances of collisions when two or more stations
start sending their signals over the data link layer. Carrier Sense multiple access requires that
each station first check the state of the medium before sending.
7. How CSMA/CD works?
Step 1: Check if the sender is ready for transmitting data packets.
Step 2: Check if the transmission link is idle.
Sender has to keep on checking if the transmission link/medium is idle. For this, it continuously
senses transmissions from other nodes. Sender sends dummy data on the link. If it does not
receive any collision signal, this means the link is idle at the moment. If it senses that the carrier
is free and there are no collisions, it sends the data. Otherwise, it refrains from sending data.
Step 3: Transmit the data & check for collisions.
Sender transmits its data on the link. CSMA/CD does not use an ‘acknowledgment’ system. It
checks for successful and unsuccessful transmissions through collision signals. During
transmission, if a collision signal is received by the node, transmission is stopped. The station
then transmits a jam signal onto the link and waits for random time intervals before it resends
the frame. After some random time, it again attempts to transfer the data and repeats the above
process.
