Module 05 - TCP and UDP Communication

This document provides an overview of TCP and UDP communication at the transport layer of the OSI model. It discusses the purpose of the transport layer, compares TCP and UDP protocols, examines TCP and UDP header formats, and describes how port numbers and sockets enable communication between applications. Key points covered include segmentation, reliability, flow control, connection-oriented vs. connectionless communication, and example application layer protocols that typically use TCP or UDP.

Slower Data Transportation Faster Data Transportation

Small Header size (20 Bytes) Large Header Size (8 Bytes)

Example: FTP, SMTP, HTTP, SSH Example: SNMP, DHCP, TFTP, VoIP
Segment Size of Transport Layer
TCP Segment
TCP Segment Details
 Source Port (16 bits) and Destination Port (16 bits)
o Used to identify the application
 Sequence number (32 bits) 
o Used for data reassembly purposes.
 Acknowledgment number (32 bits) 
o Indicates the data that has been received.
 Header length (4 bits) 
o Known as ʺdata offsetʺ. Indicates the length of the TCP segment header.
 Reserved (6 bits) 
o This field is reserved for the future.
 Control bits (6 bits) 
o SYN, ACK, URG, FIN, PSH, RST 6 Controls bits for function of the TCP segment .
 Window size (16 bits)
o Indicates the number of bytes that can be accepted at one time.
 Checksum (16 bits)
o Used for error checking of the segment header and data.
 Urgent (16 bits) 
 Indicates if data is urgent.
UDP Header Size (8 Bytes)
