Multiplexing/demultiplexing
Multiplexing:
gathering data from multiple
app processes, enveloping
data with header (later used
for demultiplexing)
multiplexing/demultiplexing:
 based on sender, receiver
IP addresses & port
numbers
 source, dest port #s in
each segment
 “well-known” port
numbers for specific
applications
32 bits

dest port #

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, less
resource required)
 simple: no connection
state at sender,
receiver
 small segment header
 no congestion control:
UDP can blast away as
fast as desired

 often used for
streaming multimedia
apps
Length in
 loss tolerant
bytes of UDP
segment,
 rate sensitive
including
header
 other UDP uses
 DNS
 SNMP
 reliable transfer over
UDP: add reliability at
application layer
 application-specific

UDP checksum
Goal: detect “errors” (e.g., flipped bits) in
transmitted segment
Sender:
Receiver:
contents as sequence
of 16-bit integers
 checksum: addition
(1’s complement sum)
of segment contents
 sender puts checksum
value into UDP
checksum field
received segment
 check if computed
checksum equals
checksum field value:
 NO - error detected
 YES - no error
detected.
 treat segment
 compute checksum of

TCP: Overview
 point-to-point:
 one sender, one
receiver
 reliable, in-order
byte steam:

no “message
boundaries”
 pipelined:
 TCP congestion and
flow control set
window size
[RFCs: 793, 1122, 1323, 2018, 2581]
 full duplex data:
 bi-directional data flow
in same connection
 MSS: maximum segment
size
 connection-oriented:
 handshaking (exchange
of control msgs) init’s
sender, receiver state
before data exchange
 flow controlled:
 sender will not
overwhelm receiver

TCP seq. #’s and ACKs

 byte stream

byte in segment’s
data
ACKs:
 seq # of next byte
expected from
other side
 cumulative ACK

TCP ACK generation
[RFC 1122, RFC 2581]
Event
TCP Receiver action
in-order segment arrival,
no gaps,
everything else already ACKed
delayed ACK. Wait up to 500ms
for next segment. If no next segment,
send ACK
in-order segment arrival,
no gaps,
one delayed ACK pending
immediately send single
cumulative ACK
out-of-order segment arrival
higher-than-expect seq. #
gap detected
send duplicate ACK, indicating seq. #
of next expected byte
arrival of segment that
partially or completely fills gap
immediate ACK if segment starts
at lower end of gap

TCP Flow Control
flow control
sender will not overrun
receiver’s buffers by
transmitting too much,
too fast
receiver buffering
receiver: explicitly
informs sender of
(dynamically changing)
amount of free buffer
space
 RcvWindow size
field in TCP segment
sender: amount of
transmitted, unACKed
data less than most
recently-receiver
RcvWindow size
Transport Layer

TCP Round Trip Time and Timeout
Q: how to set TCP
timeout value?
 longer than RTT
note: RTT will
vary
 too short:
premature timeout
 unnecessary
retransmissions
 too long: slow
reaction to segment
loss

Q: how to estimate RTT?
 SampleRTT: measured time
from segment transmission
until ACK receipt
 ignore retransmissions,
cumulatively ACKed
segments
 SampleRTT will vary, for
“smoother” estimated RTT
 use several recent
measurements, not just
current SampleRTT
Transport Layer
18
TCP Round Trip Time and Timeout
EstimatedRTT = (1-x)*EstimatedRTT + x*SampleRTT
 Exponential weighted moving average
 influence of given sample decreases exponentially fast
 typical value of x: 0.1
Setting the timeout
 RTT plus “safety margin”
 large variation in EstimatedRTT -> larger safety
margin
Timeout = EstimatedRTT + 4*Deviation
Deviation = (1-x)*Deviation +
x*abs(SampleRTT-EstimatedRTT)

TCP Connection Management
Recall: TCP sender, receiver establish a
“connection” before exchanging data
segments
 initialize TCP variables:
 seq. #s
 buffers, flow control info (e.g.,
RcvWindow)
 client: connection initiator
 server: contacted by client
Transport Layer

TCP Connection Management (cont’d)
Opening a connection (3way handshake):
Step 1: client end system
sends TCP SYN control
segment to server
client
server
open
listen
Step 2: server end system
receives SYN, replies with
SYN-ACK



ACKs received SYN

Step 3: client rcvs SYN-ACK

connection is now set up

client starts the “real work”

TCP Connection Management (cont’d)
Closing a connection:
Step 1: client end
