Gaming, voice and video

UDP is an ideal protocol for network applications in which perceived
latency is critical, such as in gaming, voice and video communications.

Services that don't need fixed packet transmission

UDP can also be used for applications that depend on the reliable
exchange of information but should have their own methods to answer
packets.

Multicasting and routing update protocols

UDP can also be used for multicasting because it supports packet
switching. In addition, UDP is used for some routing update protocols,
such as Routing Information Protocol (RIP).

3. Flow Label: It is 24 bits field that is designed to provide special
handling for a particular flow of data.
4. Payload Length: The 16 bits payload length field defines the
length of the IP datagram excluding the base header.

5. Next Header: It is an 8 bits field defining the header that
follows the base header in datagram.
6. Hop Limit: This 8 bits field serves the same purpose as
the TTL field in IPV4.
7. Source Address: The source address field is a 128 bits
internet address that identifies the original.
8. Destination Address: It is 128 bits internet address that
usually identifies the final destination of datagram.
9. Payload: Is combination of zero or more extension
headers(options) which is followed by data from other
protocols such as UDP, TCP etc

EXTENSION HEADERS
• The length of the base header is fixed at 40 bytes.
• Types of extension headers are:
1. Hop by Hop option
2. Source routing
3. Fragmentation
4. Authentication
5. Encrypted security payload
6. Destination option

Hop by Hop options is used when the source needs to pass

information to all the routers visited by the datagram.
2. Source routing extension header combines the concept
of strict source route & the loose source route options
of IPV4.
3. Fragmentation is the same as that in IPV4. in IPV6 only
the original source can be fragment.
4. Authentication header has a dual purposes: it validates
the message sender & ensure the integrity of data.
5. Encrypted security Payload is an extension that
provides confidentiality & guards.
6. Destination option is used when the service needs to
pass information to destination only, intermediate
routers are not permitted access to this information.

• Stream Delivery Service. For
relevant
• Full Duplex Service Contents.
• Connection Oriented Service.
• Reliable Service.

Stream Delivery Service

TCP is a stream-oriented protocol. It enables the sending process to

deliver dataas a stream of bytes and the receiving process to acquire
data as a stream of bytes.
TCP creates a working environment so that the sending and
receiving procedures are connected by an imaginary "tube", as
shown in the figure below:

Page 9 / 28
MAHARASHTRA STATE BOARD OF TECHNICAL EDUCATION
(Autonomous)
(ISO/IEC - 27001 - 2005 Certified)

Full-Duplex Service

TCP offers a full-duplex service where the data can flow in both
directions simultaneously. Each TCP will then have a sending buffer
and receiving buffer. The TCP segments are sent in both directions.

Connection-Oriented Service

We are already aware that the TCP is a connection-oriented protocol.

When a process wants to communicate (send and receive) with another
process (process -2), the sequence of operations is as follows:

• TCP of process-1 informs TCP of process-2 and gets its approval.

• TCP of process-1 tells TCP of process-2 exchange data in both
directions.
• After completing the data exchange, when buffers on both sides
are empty, the two TCPs destroy their buffers.

The type of connection in TCP is not physical, but it is virtual. The

TCP segment encapsulated in an IP datagram can be sent out of
order. These segments can get lost or corrupted and may have to be
resend. Each segment may take a different path to reach the
destination

Reliable Servic

TCP is a reliable transport protocol. It uses an acknowledgment

mechanism for checking the safe and sound arrival of data.

d) Explain functioning of multicast link. State routing protocol. 4M

Ans DVMRP- Distance Vector Multicast Routing Protocol:
• Is an internet routing protocol that provides an efficient
mechanism for connection-less datagram delivery to a group 4M for
of hosts across an internetwork. Explai
• It is a distributed protocol that dynamically generate IP multicast ning
delivery tress using a technique called reverse path multicasting.
• DVMRP uses a distance vector distributed routing algorithm in
order to build per-source-group multicast delivery tree.
• Each router maintains a multicast routing table by exchanging
distance vector information among.
• It constructs a source tree for each group using reverse path
forwarding.
• Multiple routers on the same/AN select designated forwarder

by lower metric or lower IPaddress.
• Once a tree is created, it is used to forward message from source
to receivers.
• Flood multicast packets based on reverse path forwarding rule to
all routers.
• Upstream router prunes the interface with no dependent
downstream router.

m

When cookies were invented, they were basically little documents

containing information about you and your preferences. For
instance, when you select your language in which you want to view
your website, the website would save the information in a document
called a cookie on your computer, and the next time when you visit
the website, it would be able to read a cookie saved earlier.

That way the website could remember your language and let you
view the website in your preferred language without having to
select the language again.
A cookie can contain any type of information such as the time when
you visited the website, the items that you added into your shopping
basket, all the links you clicked in website, etc. Cookies themselves
contain no personally identifiable information. Depending on the
publisher’s and the user’s settings, information associated with
cookies used in advertising may be added to the user’s Google
Account.

Most commonly, AdSense sends a cookie to the browser when a

user visits a page that shows Google ads. Pages with Google ads
include ad tags that instruct browsers to request ad content from
our servers. When the server delivers the ad content, it also sends a
cookie. But a page doesn’t have to show Google ads for this to
happen; it just needs to include our ad tags, which might load a
click tracker or impression pixel instead. Following Fig. Example of how

masks and default gateways to TCP/IP running computers within a
particular server network. Thanks to the dynamic addressing executed by
the DHCP, a computer can have a different IP address every time it
connects to the network it belongs to, without the intervention of a UNIX
administrator. Through this DHCP functionality every new computer
added to a network is automatically assigned a unique IP address.

DHCP servers greatly simplify the configuration of networks and are built in
the majority of the wireless access points and wired Ethernet routers. In a
network, a DHCP server manages a pool of IP addresses, as well as default
gateway details, DNS details and other information for the clients’ network
configuration. When a new computer is introduced into a DHCP server-enabled
network, it will send a query to the DHCP server requesting all the necessary
information. When the query reaches the DHCP server, it will grant the new
computer a new IP address and a lease - a time frame for which the computer
can use this IP address, as well as other configuration details. The whole
process takes place immediately after the new computer boots, and to be
successful, it has to be completed before initiating IP based communication
with other hosts in the network.

STATIC ALLOCATION
The static allocation method is very popular in modern ISP networks, which do
not use dial-up methods. With the static allocation, the DHCP sever keeps a
database with all clients' LAN MAC addresses and gives them an IP address
only if their MAC address is in the database. This way, the clients can be sure
that they will be getting the same IP address every time.

DYNAMIC ALLOCATION
When the DHCP server is configured to use dynamic allocation, this
means that it uses a lease policy. This way, when an assigned IP address
from the available pool is no longer used, it will be transferred back to the
pool, making it available for someone else to use. The advantage of this
method is that the IP addresses are used to their maximum - as soon as
they are no longer used by the client, they are instantly made available to
others. The disadvantage of this method is that a client will always have a
random IP address.

c) Describe Email security Over non-secure channel. 6M

Ans • Email security describes different techniques for keeping
sensitive information in email communication and accounts Any 6
secure against unauthorized access, loss or compromise points
• Email is often used to spread malware, spam and phishing 1M
attacks. Attackers use deceptive messages to entice recipients each
to part with sensitive information, open attachments or click on
hyperlinks that install malware on the victim‟s device.
• Email encryption involves encrypting, or disguising, the
content of email messages to protect potentially sensitive
information from being read by anyone other than intended
recipients. Email encryption often includes authentication.
• Email allows attackers to use it as a way to cause problems in
attempt to profit. Whether through spam campaigns, malware
and phishing attacks, sophisticated targeted attacks, or business
email compromise (BEC), attackers try to take advantage of the
lack of security of email to carry out their actions.

• Since most organizations rely on email to do business,
attackers exploit email in an attempt to steal sensitive
information.
• Because email is an open format, it can be viewed by anyone
who can intercept it. It can be easily read and the contents of an
email by intercepting it.
• Email Security Policies can be established by viewing the
contents of emails flowing through their email servers. It‟s
important to understand what is in the entire email in order to
act appropriately. After these baseline policies are put into
effect, an organization can enact various security policies on
those emails.
• These email security policies can be as simple as removing all
executable content from emails to more in-depth actions, like
sending suspicious content to a sandboxing tool for detailed
analysis.
• If security incidents are detected by these policies, the
organization needs to have actionable intelligence about the scope of
the attack.
• Enforce email encryption policies to prevent sensitive email
information from falling into the wrong hands.
• An email gateway scans and processes all incoming and
outgoing email and makes sure that threats are not allowed in.
Because attacks are increasingly sophisticated, standard
security measures, such as blocking known bad file
attachments, are no longer effective.

6. Attempt any TWO of the following: 6M

a) Explain the process of transition from IPv4 to IPv6 for a network.
Ans Three Transitions from IPv4 to IPv6 strategies are: 2M for
1. Dual Stack each
2. Tunnelling transitio
3. Header Translation n

1. Dual Stack
In this kind of strategy, a station has a dual stack of protocols
run IPv4 and IPv6 simultaneously.
To determine which version to use when sending a packet to a
destination, the source host queries the DNS.
If the DNS returns an IPv4 address, the source host sends an
IPv4 packet.
If the DNS returns an IPv6 address, the source host
sends an IPv6 packet.

2. Tunnelling
Tunnelling is a strategy used when two computers using IPv6
want to communicate with each other and the packet must
pass through a region that uses IPv4.
• To pass through this region, the packet must have an IPv4
address. So the IPv6 packet is encapsulated in an IPv4 packet
when it enters the region.
• To make it clear that the IPv4 packet is carrying an IPv6
packet as data.

3.Header Translation
In this case, the header format must be totally changed
through header translation. The header of the IPv6 packet is
converted to an IPv4 header see figure.

To keep track of all the different events happening during connection

establishment, connection termination, and data transfer, TCP is specified
as the Finite State Machine –FSM
TCP State Machine:
• TCP uses a three way handshake to close connection.
• Singled by the FIN bit in the packet header The figure shows the two
FSMs used by the TCP client and server combined in one diagram.
• Ovals/rectangle represents states.
• Transition from one state to another is shown using directed lines.
• Each line has two strings separated by a slash.
• The first string is the input, what TCP receives.
• The second is the output, what TCP sends.

• The dotted black lines in the figure represent the transition that a server
normally goes through.
• The solid black lines show the transitions that a client normally goes
through.

• Sometimes in some situations, a server transitions through a solid line
or a client transition through a dotted line.
