Transport Protocols Relates to Lab 5. An overview of the transport protocols of the TCP/IP protocol suite. Also, a short discussion of UDP.
Orientation • We move one layer up and look at the transport layer.
Orientation • Transport layer protocols are end-to-end protocols • They are only implemented at the hosts
UDP - User Datagram Protocol datagram oriented unreliable, connectionless simple unicast and multicast useful only for few applications, e.g., multimedia applications used a lot for services network management (SNMP), routing (RIP), naming (DNS), etc. TCP - Transmission Control Protocol stream oriented reliable, connection-oriented complex only unicast used for most Internet applications: web (http), email (smtp), file transfer (ftp), terminal (telnet), etc. Transport Protocols in the Internet The two major transport protocols of the Internet are
UDP Format Port numbers identify sending and receiving applications (processes). Maximum port number is 216-1= 65,535 Message Length is at least 8 bytes (I.e., Data field can be empty) and at most 65,535 Checksum is for header (of UDP and some of the IP header fields)
Format of TCP segments TCP segments have a min. 20 byte header with ≥ 0 bytes of data.
Port Numbers • UDP (and TCP) use port numbers to identify applications • A globally unique address for applications consists of <IP address, type of protocol, port number> • 65,535 ports per protocol
UDP - User Datagram Protocol • UDP is supports unreliable transmissions of datagrams • UDP merely extends the host-to-to-host delivery service of IP datagram to an application-to-application service • The only thing that UDP adds to IP datagrams is multiplexing and demultiplexing (by adding port numbers)
New Transport Protocols • New Transport Protocols were added: • DCCP (2006): Datagram Congestion Control Protocol • SCTP (2000): Stream Control Transmission Protocol
SCTP “TCP for datagrams” connection-oriented (full duplex) more delivery options than TCP Message-oriented preserves message boundaries Supports multiple flows (“streams” per connection) unreliable or reliable ordered or partially ordered congestion control support for multi-homing Used for signaling in telephone networks DCCP “UDP with congestion control” “TCP without reliable byte stream” connection-oriented message-oriented unreliable unordered congestion control Intended for applications that transfer large volumes of data DCCP and SCTP Provide more service than UDP, but less than TCP
Many different chunk types Data chunks Control chunks Each chunk has a type-dependent header SCTP Format
