Understanding TCP/IP

Transmission Control Protocol/Internet
Protocol (TCP/IP) – Most commonly used
protocol for communication on computer
networks. It is the network communications
protocol that is the basis for the Internet.
Introducing TCP/IP
Understanding TCP/IP (cont.)

Computers running Windows Vista are by
default TCP/IP hosts, meaning that they have
all of the software required for taking part in a
TCP/IP network.
Introducing TCP/IP
Understanding IP Addresses

TCP/IP hosts, such as computers running
Windows Vista, are identified on TCP/IP
networks with an IP address.

Other network entities, such as printers or
routers, can also be identified with an IP
address.
Introducing TCP/IP
Understanding IP Addresses (cont.)

IP addresses are 32 bits in length and are
expressed in four octets separated from one
another with a dot (the “.” character).

Each octet is 8 bits long (32 bits for each
address divided by 4 octets = 8 bits), which is
why they are called octets.
 Example IP address: 10.23.132.23
Introducing TCP/IP
Understanding IP Addresses (cont.)

Octets are expressed as values between 0 and
255 (with some restrictions). The first octet
determines the class of the address.

Classes – Divide the IP address space into
sections that are used for different purposes
Introducing TCP/IP
Understanding IP Addresses (cont.)
IP Address First Octet

Class A
1-126
Very large networks
Class B
128-191
Medium to large networks
Class C
192-223
Small networks
Class D
224-239
Class E
240-255
Multicasting (sending messages to more
than one host at a time)
Reserved for experimental purposes
Introducing TCP/IP
Understanding IP Addresses (cont.)

TCP/IP hosts that are directly exposed to the
Internet must receive their IP addresses from
the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names
and Numbers (ICANN) or some other authority.
These IP addresses are called public-facing IP
addresses.
Introducing TCP/IP
Understanding IP Addresses (cont.)

Almost all organizations today use private
networks, in which the IP addresses internal to
the organization are hidden from hosts external
to the organization.
Introducing TCP/IP
Understanding Subnetting and
Subnet Masks

Subnetting – Using subnet masks to partition a
network into smaller networks called subnets

Subnet mask – Used by subnetting to divide
an IP address into a network ID and a host ID

Network ID – Identifies the subnet

Host ID – Identifies the host within that subnet
Introducing TCP/IP
Understanding Subnetting and
Subnet Masks (cont.)

Subnet masks – Divide IP addresses into
network IDs and host IDs and can be used to
partition networks into subnets
 Example of a subnet mask for the IP address
10.23.132.23: 255.0.0.0
Introducing TCP/IP
Converting Octets from Decimal to
Binary

In Calculator in the View menu, click Scientific.
•
Key the decimal octet.
•
In the upper left just below the text box, select
Bin. The number is displayed in binary.
•
Add zeros to the left side until there are eight
digits.
Introducing TCP/IP

Introducing TCP/IP
Combining Octets Using a Logical
AND

Compare the first digit of each octet, and follow
these rules.
 1 AND 1 = 1
 0 AND 0 = 0
 0 AND 1 = 0

Do the same for the remaining 7 digits.

Understanding Classless InterDomain Routing Notation

Classless Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR)
notation – Common way of expressing a
subnetted network address, from which you can
derive the IP addresses and subnet mask for the
hosts on each network
 Example: 192.168.255.0/26
Introducing TCP/IP
Understanding DNS

Domain Name System (DNS) – Hierarchical
naming convention for identifying TCP/IP hosts
on a network

Fully qualified domain names (FQDNs) –
User-friendly names to which IP addresses are
mapped in DNS
 Example FQDN: client42.northwind.contoso.com
Understanding DNS
DNS Hierarchy
Level
Examples
Notes
root
(.)
The root domain is represented by the “.”
Character. It is not expressed in FQDNs.
Top-level domain
net, org, com, uk, gov
There are many other TLDs, most of them
country codes.
Second-level domain
microsoft, contoso
Typically the second-level domain is a good
indication of who owns the FQDN.
Additional domain
levels
Northwind
There can be any number of additional levels in a
FQDN.
Host name
client42, www
Yes, www is a host name. Most FQDNs with www
designated as the host resolve to the IP address
of one or more web servers.
Introducing TCP/IP
DNS Caching

Both DNS clients and servers can cache DNS
name resolutions.

DNS caching – After the answer is found to a
resolution, clients and servers store it locally for
some time in case they need it. In this way, they
won’t have to look it up again, which increases
performance.
Understanding DNS
Understanding DHCP

Dynamic Host Control Protocol (DHCP) –
Protocol that DHCP clients, such as computers
running Windows Vista, can use to request and
lease IP addresses from a DHCP server. The
client can also use DHCP to request DHCP
options.
Understanding DHCP
Understanding DHCP (cont.)


DHCP client – Machine that uses DHCP to
request an IP address lease and other
information, called DHCP options
DHCP server – Allocates IP addresses from a
pool of IP addresses to DHCP clients and
optionally offers supporting information to DHCP
clients, called DHCP options
Understanding DHCP
Understanding DHCP (cont.)


DHCP option – Piece of information that DHCP
servers can optionally offer to DHCP clients,
including default gateway IP addresses and IP
addresses for DNS name servers
DHCP lease – Entire package that a DHCP
client receives from a DHCP server
Understanding DHCP
Understanding DHCP (cont.)

The process of a DHCP client requesting and
receiving a DHCP lease from a DHCP server is
completed in the following four steps.
 DHCPDISCOVER – The DHCP client broadcasts a
request for a DHCP lease.
 DHCPOFFER – DHCP servers on the network
offer DHCP leases of specific IP addresses to the
DHCP client.
Understanding DHCP

•
Requesting and receiving a DHCP lease (cont.)
 DHCPREQUEST – The DHCP client chooses from
which DHCP server to obtain a DHCP lease and
broadcasts that it has chosen that server in a
broadcast message. The other offering DHCP
servers receive the DHCPREQUEST message and
return the IP addresses they offered to their
pools of available IP addresses for lease.
Understanding DHCP
Understanding DHCP (cont.)
•
Requesting and receiving a DHCP lease (cont.)
 DHCPACK – The chosen DHCP server also
receives the DHCPREQUEST message. It sends an
acknowledgement to the DHCP client and assigns
it any configured DHCP options. The client
configures its TCP/IP settings with the IP address
and DHCP options supplied by the DHCP server.
Understanding DHCP
Understanding DHCP (cont.)
•
Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA) –
Another scheme for assigning IP addresses
automatically. It is a part of Windows operating
systems. If you configure a computer to
automatically obtain an IP address and no DHCP
server is available, you will receive an APIPA
address.
 APIPA addresses always start with the octets
169.254.

Wired Equivalent Policy (WEP) – Least
secure technology. It requires a WEP key, which
you supply to the wireless devices that connect

instead exchanges information that each host
uses to generate identical keys locally.
