Learning outcome

Look at TCP/IP internal– Each discuss the role and the details of each layer– Mainly TCP, UDP AND IP– Opening and closing connections– Routing– Flow control – Reliable data transmission

Identify different classes of IP addresses Break down an IP address into network, subnet and host IDs List the factors contributing the shortage of IP address and

some techniques proposed to solve this problem

Learning outcome cont’d

As explained in the first chapter 2– Each layer adds header information to the block of data

passed to it from the previous layer– And these headers are interpreted and removed by

corresponding layer at the receiving end

In this Chapter (ch. 3 )– We will look in details at the header information constructed

at the transport and internet layers– We will also show how this information is used
