2. Attempt any THREE of the following: 12
4M
(a) Describe flow control under SCTP.
Ans. Flow control under SCTP Flow control in SCTP is similar to that
in
TCP. Like TCP, SCTP executes flow control to prevent
overwhelming the receiver. In SCTP, we need to handle two units
of data, the byte and the chunk. The values of rwnd and cwnd are
expressed in bytes; the values of TSN and acknowledgments are
expressed in chunks. Current SCTP implementations still use a
byte-oriented window for flow control. Receiver Site: The receiver Diagra
has one buffer (queue) and three variables. The queue holds the m 2M
received data chunks that have not yet been read by the process. Explana
The first variable holds the last TSN received,cum TSN. The tion 2M
second variable holds the available buffer size; winsize. The third
variable holds the last accumulative acknowledgment, last ACK.
The following figure shows the queue and variables at the receiver
site.

When the site receives a data chunk, it stores it at the end of the
buffer (queue) and subtracts the size of the chunk from winSize.
The TSN number of the chunk is stored in the cumTSN variable. 2.
When the process reads a chunk, it removes it from the queue and
adds the size of the removed chunk to winSize (recycling). 3. When
the receiver decides to send a SACK, it checks the value of lastAck;
if it is less than cumTSN, it sends a SACK with a cumulative TSN
number equal to the cumTSN. It also includes the value of winSize
as the advertised window size. Sender Site: The sender has one
buffer (queue) and three variables: curTSN, rwnd, and inTransit, as

SUMMER – 2023 EXAMINATION MODEL ANSWER

The first variable, curTSN, refers to the next chunk to be sent. All
chunks in the queue with a TSN less than this value have been sent, but
not acknowledged; they are outstanding. The second variable, rwnd,
holds the last value advertised by the receiver (in bytes). The third
variable, inTransit, holds the number of bytes in transit, bytes sent but
not yet acknowledged. The following is the procedure used by the
sender.

1. A chunk pointed to by curTSN can be sent if the size of the data

is less than or equal to the quantity rwnd – iNTransit. After sending
the chunk, the value of curTSN is incremented by 1 and now points to e
the next chunk to be sent. The value of inTransit is incremented by
the siz of the data in the transmitted chunk. l
2. When a SACK is received, the chunks with a TSN less than or
equato the cumulative TSN in the SACK are removed from the queue
and discarded. The sender does not have to worry about them anymore
The value of inTransit is reduced by the total size of the discarded
chunks. The value of rwnd is updated with the value of the
advertised window in the SACK.

that means like the other side connection is also established using the
telnet hostname. These commands are used on the server by the
corresponding user to achieve the need task. These commands are used

to end a telnet session or logoff a session or a user. Currently, both

virtual terminal and terminal emulators can be used for telnet, which is
fundamentally a modern computer that converses by means of the

Fig4.4.2: State transition diagram.

TCP sends a SYN segment and moves to the SYN-SENT state. After
receiving the SYN +ACK segment, TCP sends an ACK segment and
goes to the ESTABLISHED state. Data are transferred, possibly in
both directions, and acknowledged. When the client process has no
more data to send, it issues a command called an active close. The
TCP sends a FIN segment and goes to the FINWAIT-
1 state. When it receives the ACK segment, it goes to the
FINWAIT-2 state. When the client receives a FIN segment, it sends
an ACK segment and goes to the TIME-WAIT state.The client
remains in this state for 2 MSL .MSL is the maximum time a TCP
segment is expected to live, or stay in the network.When the
corresponding timer expires, the client goes to the CLOSED
state.The server process issues a passive open command. The server
TCP goes to the LISTEN state and remains there passively until it
receives a SYN segment.
The TCP then sends a SYN +ACK segment and goes to the
SYNRCVD state, waiting for the client to send an ACK segment.
After receiving the ACK segment, TCP goes to the ESTABLISHED
state, where data transfer can take place. TCP remains in this state

MODEL ANSWER
until it receives a FIN segment from the client signifying that there
are no more data to be exchanged and the connection can be
closed.The server, upon receiving the FIN segment, sends all queued
data to the server with a virtual EOF marker, which means that the
connection must be closed. It sends an ACK segment and goes to the
CLOSEWAIT state, but postpones acknowledging the FIN segment
received from the client until it receives a passive close command
from its process. After receiving the passive close command, the
server sends a FIN segment to the client and goes to the LASTACK
state, waiting for the final ACK. When the ACK segment is received
from the client,the server goes to the CLOSE state.

MODEL ANSWER
Ans.
TCP Flow Control is a protocol designed to manage the data flow
between the user and the server. It ensures that there is a specific
bandwidth for sending and receiving data so the data can be processed
without facing any major issues. In order to achieve this, the TCP
protocol uses a mechanism called the sliding window protocol.
Each

and

.
Error control in TCP is mainly done through the use of three simple
techniques :
1. Checksum – Every segment contains a checksum field which is used to
find corrupted segments. If the segment is corrupted, then that
segment is discarded by the destination TCP and is considered lost.
2. Acknowledgement – TCP has another mechanism called
acknowledgement to affirm that the data segments have been
delivered. Control segments that contain no data but have sequence
numbers will be acknowledged as well but ACK segments are not
acknowledged.
3. Retransmission – When a segment is missing, delayed to

deliver to a receiver, corrupted when it is checked by the

receiver then that segment is retransmitted again. Segments are
retransmitted only during two events: when the sender receives three
duplicate acknowledgements (ACK) or when a retransmission timer
expires.
• Retransmission after RTO: TCP always preserves one
retransmission time-out (RTO) timer for all sent but not
acknowledged segments. When the timer runs out of time, the
earliest segment is retransmitted. Here no timer is set for
acknowledgement. In TCP, the RTO value is dynamic in nature
and it is updated using the round trip time (RTT) of segments.
RTT is the time duration needed for a segment to reach the
receiver and an acknowledgement to be received by the sender.
• Retransmission after Three duplicate ACK segments: RTO
method works well when the value of RTO is small. If it is large,
more time is needed to get confirmation about whether a
segment has been delivered or not. Sometimes one segment is
lost and the receiver receives so many out-of-order segments
that they cannot be saved. In order to solve this situation, three
duplicate acknowledgement method is used and missing
segment is retransmitted immediately instead of retransmitting
already delivered segment. This is a fast retransmission because
it makes it possible to quickly retransmit lost segments instead of
waiting for timer to end.

SCTP Association Establishment Process:-

SCTP association startup and shutdown guidelines are described here.
SCTP association is comprised of a four-way handshake that takes
place in the following order:
i. The client sends an INIT signal to the server to initiate an
association.
ii. On receipt of the INIT signal, the server sends an INIT-ACK
response to the client. This INIT-ACK signal contains a state
cookie. This state cookie must contain a Message
Authentication Code (MAC), along with a time stamp
corresponding to the creation of the cookie, the life span of the
state cookie, and the information necessary to establish the
association. The MAC is computed by the server based on a
secret key only known to it.
iii. On receipt of this INIT-ACK signal, the client sends a
COOKIE-ECHO response, which just echoes the state
cookie.
iv. After verifying the authenticity of the state cookie using the
secret key, the server then allocates the resources for the
association, sends a COOKIE-ACK response acknowledging
the COOKIE-ECHO signal, and moves the association to
ESTABLISHED state.

1. Address Space: IPv6 provides a significantly larger address space compared to IPv4, need 1M
allowing for the accommodation of the growing number of devices connected to the internet. each

2. Addressing Efficiency: IPv6 simplifies address assignment and management, eliminating

the need for Network Address Translation (NAT) and making subnetting more efficient.

3. Auto-Configuration: IPv6 supports stateless address auto-configuration, enabling devices

to automatically configure their IPv6 addresses without the need for DHCP (Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol).

4. Security Improvements: IPv6 includes features like IPsec (Internet Protocol Security) as
a standard, enhancing the security of communications between devices.

5. Multicast and Any cast: IPv6 incorporates improved support for multicast
communication, enabling efficient one-to-many communication. Anycast is also more easily
implemented in IPv6.

6. Mobility Support: IPv6 is designed to better support mobile devices, ensuring seamless
connectivity as devices move between networks.

7. Simplified Header Structure: IPv6 has a simpler and more efficient header structure,
reducing processing overhead on networking devices.

8. Future-Proofing: As the successor to IPv4, IPv6 is essential for the continued growth of
the internet and the proliferation of connected devices, ensuring there are enough unique addresses
for future expansion.

Version (4-bits): It represents the version of Internet Protocol, i.e. 0110.

Traffic Class (8-bits): These 8 bits are divided into two parts. The most significant 6 bits
are used for Type of Service to let the Router Known what services should be provided to
this packet.
Flow Label (20-bits): This label is used to maintain the sequential flow of the packets
belonging to a communication. The source labels the sequence to help the router identify
that a particular packet belongs to a specific flow of information. This field helps avoid re-
ordering of data packets. It is designed for streaming/real-time media.
Payload Length (16-bits): This field is used to tell the routers how much information a
particular packet contains in its payload. Payload is composed of Extension Headers and
Upper Layer data.
Next Header (8-bits): This field is used to indicate either the type of Extension Header,
or if the Extension Header is not present then it indicates the Upper Layer PDU. The
values for the type of Upper Layer PDU are same as IPv4’s.
Hop Limit (8-bits): This field is used to stop packet to loop in the network infinitely.
This is same as TTL in IPv4. The value of Hop Limit field is decremented by 1 as it
passes a link. When the field reaches 0 the packet is discarded.
Source Address (128-bits): This field indicates the address of originator of the packet.

Destination Address (128-bits): This field provides the address of intended recipient of
the packet.

Extension Headers When Extension Headers are used, IPv6 Fixed Header’s Next
Header field points to the first Extension Header. If there is one more Extension Header,
then the first Extension Header’s ‘Next-Header’ field points to the second one, and so on.
The last Extension Header’s ‘Next-Header’ field points to the Upper Layer Header. Thus,
all the headers points to the next one in a linked list manner.

MODEL ANSWER
Ans Dynamic Programming is used in the Bellman-Ford algorithm. It begins with a starting 2M
vertex and calculates the distances between other vertices that a single edge can reach. It Algorith
then searches for a path with two edges, and so on. The Bellman-Ford algorithm uses the m,
2M
bottom-up approach.
Example
Bellman Ford's algorithm

The Bellman-Ford algorithm works by grossly underestimating the length of the path
from the starting vertex to all other vertices.

Step 1: Make a list of all the graph's edges. This is simple if an adjacency list represents
the graph.

Step 2: "V - 1" is used to calculate the number of iterations. Because the shortest distance
to an edge can be adjusted V - 1 time at most, the number of iterations will increase the
same number of vertices.

Step 3: Begin with an arbitrary vertex and a minimum distance of zero. Because you are
exaggerating the actual distances, all other nodes should be assigned infinity.

For each edge u-v, relax the path lengths for the vertices: If

distance[v] is greater than distance[u] + edge weight uv, then

distance[v] = distance[u] + edge weight uv

Step 4: If the new distance is less than the previous one, update the distance for each
Edge in each iteration. The distance to each node is the total distance from the starting
node to this specific node.

Step 5: To ensure that all possible paths are considered, you must consider alliterations.
You will end up with the shortest distance if you do this.

The World Wide Web (WWW), also known as the Web, is an interconnected network of
web pages and documents accessible through the Internet. Tim Berners-Lee created it in
1989 as a way for researchers to share information through linked documents.

Working of WWW:

1. A web browser is a software application that allows users to access and view web
pages on the Internet.

2. It acts as an interface between the user and the World Wide Web by displaying
web pages Web browsers communicate with web servers using the HTTP or
HTTPS protocol, which allows users to access websites hosted on remote servers.
3. A web server is a computer program that serves web pages to clients, such as web
browsers, upon request. It is responsible for hosting websites, processing HTTP
requests, and delivering web content to users online.
4. Hyperlinks one of the key features of the Web is hyperlinks, which allow you to
navigate between web pages by clicking on links.
5. Uniform Resource Locators (URLs) Web pages are identified by URLs, which are
unique addresses that point to the location of the web page on the Internet.

• The user sends the keystrokes to the terminal driver, where the local operating 2M
system accepts the characters but does not interpret them.
• A terminal driver correctly interprets the keystrokes on the local terminal or terminal
emulator.
The characters are sent to the TELNET client, which transforms the characters to a
universal character set called network virtual terminal (NVT) characters and delivers them
to the local TCP/IP protocol stack.
• The commands or text, in NVT form, travel through the Internet and arrive at the
TCP/IP stack at the remote machine.
• Here the characters are delivered to the operating system and passed to the TELNET
server, which changes the characters to the corresponding characters understandable by the
remote computer.
• However, the characters cannot be passed directly to the operating system because
the remote operating system is not designed to receive characters from a TELNET server: It
is designed to receive characters from a terminal driver.
• A piece of software called a pseudo terminal driver is added which pretends that the
characters are coming from a terminal.

and
TCP uses a three-way handshake to establish a reliable connection. The connection is full 3M for
duplex, and both sides synchronize (SYN) and acknowledge (ACK) each other. The 3-way
exchange of these four flags is performed in three steps: SYN, SYN-ACK, ACK, as shown handshak
in figure below e
explanati
on

The client chooses an initial sequence number, set in the first SYN packet. The server also
chooses its own initial sequence number, set in the SYN/ACK packet. Each side
acknowledges each other’s sequence number by incrementing it: this is the
acknowledgement number. The use of sequence and acknowledgement numbers allows
both sides to detect missing or out-of-order segments.
Once a connection is established, ACKs typically follow for each segment. The connection
will eventually end with a RST (reset or tear down the connection) or FIN (gracefully end
the connection).
Three-Way Handshake:
The algorithm used by TCP to establish and terminate a connection is called a three-way
handshake. We first describe the basic algorithm and then show how it is used by TCP.

collision

When the segment sent by Host-1 reaches the destination, i.e., host -2, the receiving server
checks to see if there is a process that has done a LISTEN on the port given in the
destination port field. If not, it sends a response with the RST bit on to refuse the
connection. Otherwise, it governs the TCP segment to the listing process, which can accept
or decline (for example, if it does not look similar to the client) the connection.
Call Collision: If two hosts try to establish a connection simultaneously between the same
two sockets, then the events sequence is demonstrated in the figure under such
circumstances. Only one connection is established. It cannot select both the links because
their endpoints identify connections.

SUMMER – 2023 EXAMINATION MODEL ANSWER

Ans The three types of IPv6 addresses are: unicast, anycast, and multicast. 2 M for
a) Unicast address: This type of information transfer is useful when there is a each
participation of single sender and single recipient. So, in short you can term it as a address
one-to-one transmission. For example, a device having IP address 10.1.2.0 in a types
network wants to send the traffic stream (data packets) to the device with IP address
20.12.4.2 in the other network, then unicast comes into picture. This is the most
common form of data transfer over the networks.

b) Multicast address: In multicasting, one/more senders and one/more recipients

participate in data transfer traffic. In this method traffic recline between the
boundaries of unicast (one-to-one) and broadcast (one-to-all). Multicast lets server’s
direct single copies of data streams that are then simulated and routed to hosts that
request it. IP multicast requires support of some other protocols like IGMP (Internet
Group Management Protocol), Multicast routing for its working. Also, in Classful IP
addressing Class D is reserved for multicast groups.

c) Anycast address: An IPv6 anycast address is an address that is assigned to more than
one interface (typically belonging to different nodes), where a packet sent to an
anycast address is routed to the nearest interface having that address, according to the

MODEL ANSWER
routing protocol's measure of distance. Anycast addresses, when used as part of a
route sequence, permit a node to select which of several Internet service providers it

wants to carry its traffic. This capability is sometimes called source selected policies.
You implement this by configuring anycast addresses to identify the set of routers
belonging to Internet service providers (for example, one anycast address per Internet
service provider). You can use these anycast addresses as intermediate addresses in
an IPv6 routing header, to cause a packet to be delivered by a particular provider or
sequence of providers. You can also use anycast addresses to identify the set of routers
attached to a particular subnet or the set of routers providing entry into a particular
routing domain. You can locate anycast addresses from the unicast address space by
using any of the defined unicast address formats. Thus, anycast addresses are
syntactically indistinguishable from unicast addresses. When you assign a unicast
address to more than one interface, that is, turning it into an anycast address, you must
explicitly configure the nodes to which the address is assigned in order to know that
it is an anycast address.

MODEL ANSWER
Ans 1. Distance Vector Routing Protocol: A distance-vector routing protocol in data 3 M for
networks determines the best route for data packets based on distance. each
Distance-vector routing protocols measure the distance by the number of routers a packet Protocol
has to pass, one router counts as one hop.
Some distance-vector protocols also take into account network latency and other factors that
influence traffic on a given route.
To determine the best route across a network, routers, on which a distance-vector protocol
is implemented, exchange information with one another, usually routing tables plus hop
counts for destination networks and possibly other traffic information.
Distance-vector routing protocols also require that a router informs its neighbours of
network topology changes periodically.
Distance Vector Algorithm –
• A router transmits its distance vector to each of its neighbours in a routing packet.
• Each router receives and saves the most recently received distance vector from
each of its neighbours.
• A router recalculates its distance vector when:
• It receives a distance vector from a neighbour containing different information
than before.
• It discovers that a link to a neighbour has gone down.
2. Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) Protocol:
The OSPF (Open Shortest Path First) protocol is one of a family of IP Routing protocols,
and is an Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP) for the Internet, used to distribute IP routing
information throughout a single Autonomous System (AS) in an IP network.
The OSPF protocol is a link-state routing protocol, which means that the routers exchange
topology information with their nearest neighbours. The topology information is flooded
throughout the AS, so that every router within the AS has a complete picture of the topology
of the AS. This picture is then used to calculate end-to-end paths through the AS, normally
using a variant of the Dijkstra algorithm. Therefore, in a link-state routing protocol, the
next hop address to which data is forwarded is determined by choosing the best end-to-end
path to the eventual destination.

Each OSPF router distributes information about its local state (usable interfaces and
reachable neighbors, and the cost of using each interface) to other routers using a Link State
Advertisement (LSA) message. Each router uses the received messages to build up an
identical database that describes the topology of the AS.
From this database, each router calculates its own routing table using a Shortest Path First
(SPF) or Dijkstra algorithm. This routing table contains all the destinations the routing
protocol knows about, associated with a next hop IP address and outgoing interface. The
protocol recalculates routes when network topology changes, using the Dijkstra algorithm,
and minimizes the routing protocol traffic that it generates.
It provides support for multiple paths of equal cost.
It provides a multi-level hierarchy (two-level for OSPF) called "area routing," so that
information about the topology within a defined area of the AS is hidden from routers
outside this area. This enables an additional level of routing protection and a reduction in
routing protocol traffic.
All protocol exchanges can be authenticated so that only trusted routers can join in the
routing exchanges for the AS.

c Describe DHCP operations, when DHCP client and server on same network. 6M

Ans DHCP is based on a client-server model and based on discovery, offer, request, and 2 M for
ACK.DHCP client and server can either be on the same network or on different networks. diagram
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) is a network management protocol used to and
4 M for
dynamically assign an IP address to any device, or node, on a network so it can
Explanati
communicate using IP. DHCP automates and centrally manages these configurations rather on
than requiring network administrators to manually assign IP addresses to all network
devices. DHCP can be implemented on small local networks, as well as large enterprise
networks. DHCP assigns new IP addresses in each location when devices are moved from
place to place, which means network administrators do not have to manually configure
each device with a valid IP address or reconfigure the device with a new IP address if it
moves to a new location on the network.

In this case, the operation can be described as follows:

1. The DHCP server issues a passive open command on UDP port number 67 and waits
for a client.
2. A booted client issues an active open command on port number 68. The message is
encapsulated in a UDP user datagram, using the destination port number 67 and the source
port number 68.
3. The server responds with either a broadcast or a unicast message using UDP source
port number 67 and destination port number 68.

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.

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:

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.

• 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.

MODEL ANSWER
b) Describe DHCP with its operation & static dynamic allocation.
Ans The Domain Name System, more popular as DNS, and the Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol, also known as DHCP, represent two crucial
TCP/IP areas of a Windows NT Server network. The DNS is responsible
for converting hostnames into IP addresses, while the DHCP is engaged
in assigning unique dynamic IP addresses and the corresponding subnet
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 to each
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
n
3. Header Translation
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.

two categories of ICMP messages: error-reporting and query
messages. The error-reporting messages report problems that a router Explana
or a host (destination) may encounter when it processes an IP packet. tion 2M
The query messages, which occur in pairs, help a host or a network
manager get specific information from a router or another host. The
checksum for ICMP is calculated using both the header and the data
fields of the ICMP message.

(b) Explain different transition method of IPv4 to IPv6. 4M
Ans. Three Transition from IPv4 to IPv6 strategies are
1. Dual Stack
2. Tunnelling
3. Header Translation List 1M

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.
1M for
each
transitio
n method

Fig. Dual Stack

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 the protocol value is set to 41.

(c) Explain the working of TELNET. 4M
Ans. TELNET: TELNET is an abbreviation for TErminaLNETwork. It is
the standard TCP/IP protocol for virtual terminal service.

TELNET Working:
• TELNET is a client-server application that allows a user to log on
to a remote machine, giving the user access to the remote system. Working
• The user sends the keystrokes to the terminal driver, where the local descripti
operating system accepts the characters but does not interpret them. on 2M
• A terminal driver correctly interprets the keystrokes on the local
terminal or terminal emulator.
• The characters are sent to the TELNET client, which transforms

Subject: Advanced Computer Network Subject Code:

the characters to a universal character set called network virtual
terminal (NVT) characters and delivers them to the local TCP/IP
protocol stack.
• The commands or text, in NVT form, travel through the Internet and
arrive at the TCP/IP stack at the remote machine.
• Here the characters are delivered to the operating system and passed
to the TELNET server, which changes the characters to the
corresponding characters understandable by the remote computer.
• However, the characters cannot be passed directly to the operating
system because the remote operating system is not designed to
receive characters from a TELNET server: It is designed to receive
characters from a terminal driver.
• A piece of software called a pseudo terminal driver is added which
pretends that the characters are coming from a terminal.
• The operating system then passes the characters to the appropriate
application program.

Ans. RIP(Routing Information Protocol) message format
• RIP is routing protocol based on Distance Vector Routing
algorithm which is an intradomain (interior) routing protocol used
inside an autonomous system.
• The metric used by RIP is the distance which is defined as the Descripti
number of links (networks) that have to be used to reach the on 2M
destination. For this reason, the metric in RIP is called a hop count.
• Infinity is defined as 16, which means that any route in an
autonomous system using RIP cannot have more than 15 hops.
• The next node column defines the address of the router to which
the packet is to be sent to reach its destination.

- Harder to debug
- Can suffer from loops
• Distance vector Routing Protocol:
• Here Distance vector:
 Current best known cost to reach a destination Any 3
 Idea: exchange vectors among neighbors to learn about lowest protoc
cost paths. ols
 Distance vector protocols advertise their routing table to all 2M
directly connected neighbors at regular frequent intervals using each
a lot of bandwidth and are slow to converge.
 When a route becomes unavailable, all router tables must be
updated with that new information.
 The problem is with each router having to advertise that new
information to its neighbors, it takes a long time for all routers
to have a current accurate view of the network.
 Distance vector protocols use fixed length subnet masks which
aren‟t scalable.
- periodically (on the order of several seconds to minutes)
- whenever table changes (called triggered update)
• Each update is a list of pairs:
- (Destination , Cost )
• Update local table if receive a

• Refresh existing routes; delete if they time out

i.e. RIP-Routing Information Protocol

ii) Link State Routing:

- Have a global view of the network
- Simpler to debug
- Require global state
Link State Strategy
- each router shares the information/knowledge of its
neighborhood with every other router in the internetwork.
- Send to all nodes (not just neighbors)
- Send only information about directly connected links not
entire routing table)
Link State Packet (LSP)
- ID of the node that created the LSP
- Cost of link to each directly connected neighbor
- Sequence number (SEQNO)
Time-to-live (TTL) for this packet
i.e. OSPF-Open Shortest Path First

iii) RIPv2:
_ Runs over UDP port 520
_ Limits networks to 15 hops (16 = 1)
_ Depends on count to infinity for loops
_ Supports split horizon, poison reverse
_ RFC 1812 specifies what options routers should or must have.

iv) MOSPF (Multicast Open Shortest Path First):

• This protocol is an extension of the OSPF protocol that uses
multicast link state routing to create source-based trees.
• The protocol requires a new link state update packet to associate
the unicast address of a host with the group address or addresses
the host is sponsoring. This packet is called the group
membership LSA. In this way, we can include in the tree only

• In addition, the tree can be saved in cache memory for future
use by the same source/group pair.
• MOSPF is a data-driven protocol; the first time an MOSPF
router sees a datagram with a given source and group address,
the router constructs the Dijkstra shortest path tree.

v) Multicast Distance Vector Routing (DVMRP):

The Distance Vector Multicast Routing Protocol (DVMRP) is an
implementation of multicast distance vector routing. It is a source-
based routing protocol, based on RIP.
 Unicast distance vector routing is very simple; extending it to
support multicast routing is complicated.
 Multicast routing does not allow a router to send its routing table
to its neighbors.
 The idea is to create a table from scratch using the information
from the unicast distance vector tables.
 Multicast distance vector routing uses source-based trees, but the
router never actually makes a routing table.
 When a router receives a multicast packet, it forwards the packet
as though it is consulting a routing table.
 After its use (after a packet is forwarded) the table is destroyed.
 To accomplish this, the multicast distance vector algorithm uses
a process based on four decision-making strategies.

vi) PIM-DM (Protocol Independent Multicast, Dense Mode):

• PIM-DM is used when there is a possibility that each router is
involved in multicasting (dense mode).
• In this environment, the use of a protocol that broadcasts the
packet is justified because almost all routers are involved in the
process.
• PIM-DM is a source-based tree routing protocol that uses RPF
and pruning/grafting strategies for multicasting.
• Its operation is like DVMRP; however, unlike DVMRP, it does
not depend on a specific unicasting protocol.

For a routing protocol to work properly, if a link is broken (cost
becomes infinity), every other router should be aware of it
immediately, but in distance vector routing, this takes some time. The
problem is referred to as count to infinity. It takes several updates
before the cost for a broken link is recorded as infinity by all routers.

Count to infinity problem can be solved by following methods:

1. Defining Infinity
2. Split Horizon
3. Split Horizon an Poison Reverse

MODEL ANSWER
Email encryption involves encrypting, or disguising, the content Any 6
of email messages to protect potentially sensitive information points
from being read by anyone other than intended recipients. Email 1M each
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.

If the content is sensitive, it needs to be encrypted before it is
emailed to the intended recipient. This will prevent attackers
from viewing emails, even if they were to intercept them.
The Pretty Good Privacy (PGP) provides e-mail with privacy,
integrity, and authentication can be used over non secure channel
such as internet. It is used for signing, encrypting and decrypting

MODEL ANSWER
Subject: Advanced Computer Network (Elect) Subject Code: 22520

1. When the site receives a data chunk, it stores it at the end of the
buffer (queue) and subtracts the size of the chunk from winSize. The
TSN number of the chunk is stored in the cumTSN variable.
2. When the process reads a chunk, it removes it from the queue
and adds the size of the removed chunk to winSize (recycling).
3. When the receiver decides to send a SACK, it checks the value
of lastAck; if it is less than cumTSN, it sends a SACK with a cumulative
TSN number equal to the cumTSN. It also includes the value of winSize
as the advertised window size.

Sender Site:
The sender has one buffer (queue) and three variables: curTSN, rwnd,
and inTransit, as shown in the following figure. We assume each chunk
is 100 bytes long.
The buffer holds the chunks produced by the process that either have
been sent or are ready to be sent. The first variable, curTSN, refers to
the next chunk to be sent. All chunks in the queue with a TSN less than
this value have been sent, but not acknowledged; they are outstanding.
The second variable, rwnd, holds the last value advertised by the
receiver (in bytes). The third variable, inTransit, holds the number of
bytes in transit, bytes sent but not yet acknowledged. The following is
the procedure used by the sender.

1. A chunk pointed to by curTSN can be sent if the size of the data

is less than or equal to the quantity rwnd - inTransit. After sending the
chunk, the value of curTSN is incremented by 1 and now points to the
next chunk to be sent. The value of inTransit is incremented by the size
of the data in the transmitted chunk.

device, or node, on a network so it can communicate using IP. Static
Working of DHCP: allocation
In a network, a DHCP server manages a pool of IP addresses, as well as 1M
default gateway details, DNS details and other information for the
clients’ network configuration. When a new computer is introduced

Subject: Advanced Computer Network (Elect) Subject Code:

into a DHCP server-enabled network, it will send a query to the DHCP

server requesting all the necessary information. When the query reaches Dynamic
the DHCP server, it will grant the new computer a new IP address and a allocation
1M
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.

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.

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.
A DHCP server can be set to work using a combination of the allocation
methods. For example, in a public Wi-Fi network, all of the known hosts
and permanent clients can use the static allocation, whereas for guests,
the dynamic allocation is used. This way, known hosts can always use
the same IP address and the IP address pool is equally available to
everyone.

• To handle routing efficiently and on time, this protocol divides an
autonomous system into areas.
• As the name suggested “shortest path first”, OSPF calculates the
shortest route to a destination through the network based on an

path.
• Authentication type: There are two types of authentications, i.e., 0

available and 1 means for password that specifies the passwordbased
authentication.
• Area identification: It defines the area within which the routing takes

• Test the uniqueness of a link local address:

The node tests to make sure that the link local address that it generates
is not already in use on the local network. The node sends a neighbour
solicitation message by using the ND (Neighbour Discovery) protocol.
In response, the local network listens for a neighbour advertisement
message, which indicates that another device is already using the
linklocal address. If so, either a new link local address must be generated
or auto-configuration fails, and another method must be used.

Subject: Advanced Computer Network (Elect) Subject Code: 22520

• Assign a link local address:

If the device passes the uniqueness test, the device assigns the linklocal
address to its IP interface. The link-local address can be used for
communication on the local network but not over the Internet.

• Contact the router:

The node tries to contact a local router for more information about
continuing the configuration. This contact is performed either by
listening for router advertisement messages sent periodically by the
routers or by sending a specific router solicitation message to ask a
router for information about what to do next.

• Provide direction to the node:

The router provides direction to the node about how to proceed with
auto-configuration. Alternatively, the router tells the host how to
determine the global Internet address.
• Configure the global address:
The host configures itself with its globally unique Internet address. This
address is generally formed from a network prefix provided to the host
by the router.

2. Renumbering:
To allow sites to change the service provider, renumbering of the address
prefix (n) was built into IPv6 addressing. Each site is given a prefix by
the service provider to which it is connected. If the site changes the
provider, the address prefix needs to be changed.

following figure.
Explanation
3M

Any other

explanation
shall be
considered

The header of TCP segment can range from 20-60 bytes.40 bytes are for
option. if there are no options, header is of 20 bytes else it can be of
upmost 60 bytes.
Header Fields in TCP Segment Structure:

1) Source port address: -

This is a 16-bit field that defines the port number of the application
program in the host that is sending the segment. This serves the same
purpose as the source port address in the UDP header.

2) Destination port address: -

This is a 16-bit field that defines the port number of the application
program in the host that is receiving the segment. This serves the same
purpose as the destination port address in the UDP header.

3) Sequence Number: -
This 32-bit field defines the number assigned to the first byte of data
contained in this segment. As we said before, TCP is a stream transport
protocol. To ensure connectivity, each byte to be transmitted is
numbered. The sequence number tells the destination which byte in this
sequence comprises the first byte in the segment. During connection
establishment, each party uses a random number generator to create an
initial sequence number (ISN), which is usually different in each
direction.

4) Acknowledgment Number: -
This 32-bit field defines the byte number that the receiver of the segment
is expecting to receive from the other party. If the receiver of the
segment has successfully received byte number x from the other party,
it defines x + 1 as the acknowledgment number. Acknowledgment and
data can be piggybacked together.

5) Header length: -
This 4-bit field indicates the number of 4-byte words in the TCP header.
The length of the header can be between 20 and 60 bytes. Therefore, the
value of this field can be between 5 (5 x 4 = 20) and 15 (15 x 4 = 60).

6) Reserved:-
This is a 6-bit field reserved for future use.

7) Control Field:-
This field defines 6 different control bits or flags. These are 6, 1 bit
control bits that controls connection establishment, connection
termination, connection abortion, flow control, mode of transfer etc.

SYN: Synchronize sequence numbers.
FIN: Terminate the connection.

8) Window Size: This field tells the window size of the sending
TCP in bytes.

9) Checksum: This field holds the checksum for error control. It is

mandatory in TCP as opposed to UDP.

10) Urgent Pointer: This field (valid only if the URG control flag is
set) used to point to data that is urgently required that needs to reach the
receiving process at the earliest. The value of this field is added to the
sequence number to get the byte number of the last urgent byte.

11) Options: There can be up to 40 bytes of optional information in

the TCP header.

MODEL ANSWER

1) Multicast Distance Vector (DVMRP):

Distance vector routing when extended to support multicast is called
Distance Vector Multicast Routing Protocol (DVMRP).
The DVMRP is Multicast routing protocol that takes the routing
decision based upon the source address of the packet. This algorithm
constructs the routing tree for a network.
Whenever, a router receives a packet, it forwards it to some of its ports
based on the source address of the packet. The rest of the routing tree
is made by downstream routers. In this way, routing tree is created
from destination to source.
The DVMRP protocol must achieve the following tasks:
1. It must prevent the formation of loops in the network.
2. It must prevent the formation of duplicate packets.
3. It must ensure that the path travelled by a packet is the shortest
from its source to the router.
4. It should provide dynamic membership.
It is a following two-stage process:
1. Create a broadcast mechanism that allows a packet to be
forwarded to all the networks on the internet.
2. Refine this mechanism so that it prunes back networks that do
not have hosts that belong to the multicast group.
Multicast distance vector routing uses source-based trees, but the
router never actually makes a routing table. When a router receives a
multicast packet, it forwards the packet as though it is consulting a
routing table.
We can say that the shortest path tree is evanescent. After its use (after
a packet is forwarded) the table is destroyed. To accomplish this, the
multicast distance vector algorithm uses a process based on following
four decision-making strategies:
1. Flooding:
It is the first strategy that comes to mind. A router receives a packet
and without even looking at the destination group address, sends it out
from every interface except the one from which it was received.

Flooding accomplishes the first goal of multicasting: every network

with active members receives the packet. However, so will networks
without active members. This is a broadcast, not a multicast.
There is another problem is, it creates loops. A packet that has left the
router may come back again from another interface or the same

interface and be forwarded again.

Some flooding protocols keep a copy of the packet for a while and
discard any duplicates to avoid loops. The next strategy, reverse path
forwarding, corrects this defect.
2. Reverse Path Forwarding (RPF):
RPF is a modified flooding strategy. RPF eliminates the loop in the
flooding processes.
In this strategy, the router only forwards those packets that have
travelled the shortest path from source to destination.
To achieve this, the router pretends that it has a packet to send to the
source from has arrived. In this way, the shortest path to the sender of
the packet is computed.
If the same route is followed by the received packet, it is forwarded to
the next router and it is discarded otherwise.
The reverse path forwarding ensures that the network receives a copy
of the packet without formation of loops. A loop occurs when a packet
that has left the router may come back again from another interface or
the same interface and be forwarded again.
RPF does not guarantee that there would be no duplicate packets in the
network i.e. the network may receive two or more copies. The reason
for this is that the routing is based on the source address and not on
the destination address.

Fig. Problem with RPF

Consider the above Fig in which Net3 receives two copies of the
packet even though each router just sends out one copy from each
interface. There is duplication because a tree has not been made instead
of a tree we have a graph. Net3 has two parents namely, routers R2
and R4.
In RPB method, one parent router is defined for each network. The
network could accept the multicast packets from this parent router
only. This router sends packets to those ports for which it is designated
as parent.
Thus, RPB principle allows a router to broadcast the packet in the
network. This creates duplicate packets on the network and reduces
the network efficiency
To eliminate duplication, we must define only one parent router for
each network. We must have this restriction: A network can receive a
multicast packet from a particular source only through a designated
parent router.
Now the policy is clear. For each source, the router sends the packet
only out of those interfaces for which it is the designated parent. This
policy is called Reverse Path Broadcasting (RPB).

4. Reverse Path Multicasting (RPM):

To overcome the problem of broadcasting in RPB, Reverse Path
Multicasting in used. In RPM the desired multicast network tree is
created by using two methods namely, Pruning and Grafting. A router
can send a prune message to its upstream router whenever it finds that
its network is not interested in a multicast packet. In this way a router
prunes (cuts) its network from multicasting.
If a router receives prune message from all the downstream routers, it
in turn, sends a prune Message to its upstream router.
To convert broadcasting to multicasting, the protocol uses following
two procedures, pruning and grafting. i) Pruning:
The designated parent router of each network is responsible for
holding the membership information. This is done through the IGMP
protocol.
The process starts when a router connected to a network finds that
there is no interest in a multicast packet. The router sends a prune
message to the upstream router so that it can prune the corresponding
interface.
That is, the upstream router can stop sending multicast messages for
this group through that interface. Now if this router receives prune
messages from all downstream routers, it, in turn, sends a prune
message to its upstream router.
(ii) Grafting:

MODEL ANSWER
What if a leaf router (a router at the bottom of the tree) has sent a prune
message but suddenly realizes, through IGMP, that one of its networks
is again interested in receiving the multicast packet? It can send a graft
message. The graft message forces the upstream router to resume
sending the multicast messages.

2) Multicast Link State ( MOSPF)
MOSPF protocol is an extension of the OSPF protocol that uses
multicast link state routing to create source based trees.
MOSPF provides enhancements to OSPF Version 2 (OSPFV2) to
support IP multicast routing.
The protocol requires a new link state update packet to associate the
unicast address of a host with the group address only report directly
connected hosts. This packet is called the group-membership LSA
(Link State Advertisement).
MOSPF is a data driven protocol; the first time an MOSPF router sees
a datagram with a given source and group address, the router
constructs the Dijkstra shortest path tree.
MOSPF takes advantage of the link-state information maintained by
OSPF.
Using the link-state and group membership information, MOSPF
routers are able to calculate pruned source rooted shortest-path trees
for multicast datagrams by using the Dijkstra’s algorithm.
MOSPF also defines a mechanism for inter-AS multicast forwarding.
The biggest disadvantage of MOSPF is that every router must
maintain membership information of every group. Therefore, MOSPF
also scales poorly if there are many multicast groups.
When compared to DVMRP, MOSPF causes no useless data traffic.

MODEL ANSWER
Subject: Advanced Computer Network (Elect) Subject Code: 22520
PIM was designed to avoid the dense-mode scaling issues of DVMRP
and the potential performance issues of CBT (Core Base Tree) at the
same time.
PIM is used for efficient routing to multicast groups that might span
wide-area and inter domain internetworks. It is called “protocol
independent” because it does not depend on a particular unicast routing
protocol.
Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM) is a family of multicast routing
protocols for Internet Protocol (IP) networks that provide one-tomany
and many-to-many distribution of data over a LAN, WAN or the
Internet.
PIM is not dependent on a specific unicast routing protocol; it can
make use of any unicast routing protocol in use on the network. PIM
does not build its own routing tables. PIM uses the unicast routing table
for reverse path forwarding.

Protocol Independent Multicast (PIM) is the name given to two

independent multicast routing protocols namely,
Protocol Independent Multicast, Dense Mode (PIM-DM) and
Protocol Independent Multicast, Sparse Mode (PIM-SM). Both
protocols are unicast-protocol dependent, but the similarity ends here.

) PIM-DM:
PIM Dense Mode (PIM-DM) is a multicast routing protocol designed
with the opposite assumption to PIM-SM, namely that the receivers for
any multicast group are distributed densely throughout the network.
PIM-DM is used when there is a possibility that each router is involved
in multicasting (dense mode). In this environment, the use of a protocol
that broadcasts the packet is justified because almost all routers are
involved in the process.

Subject: Advanced Computer Network (Elect) Subject Code:

PIM-DM is a source-based tree routing protocol that uses RPF and
pruning/grafting strategies for multicasting. Its operation is like
DVMRP; however, unlike DVMRP, it does not depend on a specific
unicasting protocol.
It assumes that the autonomous system is using a unicast protocol and
each router has a table that can find the outgoing interface that has an
optimal path to a destination. This unicast protocol can be a distance
vector protocol (RIP) or link state protocol (OSPF).
PIM-DM is used in a dense multicast environment, such as a LAN.
PIM-DM uses RPF and pruning/grafting strategies to handle
multicasting. However, it is independent from the underlying unicast
protocol.

) PIM-SM:
PIM Sparse Mode (PIM-SM) is a multicast routing protocol designed
on the assumption that recipients for any particular multicast group
will be sparsely distributed throughout the network.
PIM-SM is used when there is a slight possibility that each router is
involved in multicasting (sparse mode). In this environment, the use
of a protocol that broadcasts the packet is not justified; a protocol such
as CBT (Core Base Tree) that uses a group-shared tree is more
appropriate.
PIM-SM is a group-shared tree routing protocol that has a
Rendezvous Point (RP) as the source of the tree. Its operation is like
CBT; however, it is simpler because it does not require
acknowledgment from a join message.
PIM-SM is used in a sparse multicast environment such as a WAN. PIM-
SM is similar to CBT but uses a simpler procedure.

d) List different timers used in TCP. 4M
Ans. TCP uses several timers to ensure that excessive delays are not
encountered during communications. Diagram 1M
Several of these timers are elegant, handling problems that are not
immediately obvious at first analysis. Each of the timers used by TCP List 1M
is examined in the following subsections, which reveal its role in

considered.

Fig.TCP Timers 1) Retransmission Timer:

To retransmit lost segments, TCP uses Retransmission Time Out
(RTO). When TCP sends a segment the timer starts and stops when
the acknowledgment is received.
If the timer expires timeout occurs and the segment is retransmitted.
RTO (retransmission timeout is for 1 RTT) to calculate retransmission
timeout we first need to calculate the RTT.
Three Types of RTT:
1. Measured RTT (RTTm): The measured Round Trip Time
(RTT) for a segment is the time required for the segment to reach the
destination and be acknowledged, although the acknowledgment may
include other segments.
2. Smoothed RTT (RTTS): It is the weighted average of RTTm.
RTTM is likely to change and its fluctuation is so high that a single
measurement cannot be used to calculate RTO.

(i) Initially No value

(ii) After the first measurement RTTs=RTTm.
(iii) After each measurement RTTs-(1-
1)*RTTs+t*RTTm.

3. Deviated RTT (RTTd): Most implementation do not use RTTS

alone so RTT deviated is also calculated to find out RTO.
(i) Initially No value
(ii) After first measurement RTTd=RTTm/2

(iii) After each measurement RTTd=(1-k)RTTd+k

(RTTm - RTTS)

Retransmission Timeout:
RTO Calculation: The value of RTO is based on the smoothed round-
trip time and its deviation. Most implementations use the following
formula to calculate the RTO:
Initial value → Original (given in question).
After any measurement→RTO=RTTs +4*RTTd
2) Persistent Timer:
To deal with a zero-window-size deadlock situation, TCP uses a
persistence timer. When the sending TCP receives an acknowledgment
with a window size of zero, it starts a persistence timer.
When the persistence timer goes off, the sending TCP sends a special
segment called a probe. This segment contains only 1 byte of new data.
It has a sequence number, but its sequence number is never
acknowledged; it is even ignored inCalculating the sequence number
for the rest of the data. The probe causes the receiving TCP to resend
the acknowledgment which was lost.
3) Keepalive Timer:
A keepalive timer is used to prevent a long idle connection between
two TCPs. If a client opens a TCP connection to a server transfers
some data and becomes silent the client will crash.
In this case, the connection remains open forever. So a keepalive timer
is used. Each time the server hears from a client, it resets this timer.
The time-out is usually 2 hours. . If the server does not hear from the
client after 2 hours, it sends a probe segment. If there is no response
after 10 probes, each of which is 75 s apart, it assumes that the client
is down and terminates the connection.

connection.
After a TCP connection is closed, it is possible for datagrams that are
still making their way through the network to attempt to access the
closed port. The quiet timer is intended to prevent the just closed port
from reopening again quickly and receiving these last datagrams. The
quiet timer is usually set to twice the maximum segment lifetime (the
same value as the Time- To-Live field in an IP header), ensuring that
all segments still heading for the port have been discarded.

emphasis on the IP address of the SSH server, which can be easily
spoofed, and more emphasis on the host key of the server, which
cannot be spoofed very easily.
2) The SSH server determines if the client is authorized to connect
to the SSH service by verifying the username/password or public key
that the client has presented for authentication. This process is
completely encrypted.

• Incremental updates are sent as the routing tables change. BGP does
not require periodic refresh of the entire BGP routing table.
Therefore, a BGP speaker must retain the current version of the entire
BGP routing tables of all of its peers for the duration of the
connection.
• Keepalive messages are sent periodically to ensure the liveness of the

• Notification messages are sent in response to errors or special
conditions. If a connection encounters an error condition, a
notification message is sent and the connection is closed.
• Connections between BGP speakers of different ASs are referred to
as "external" links. BGP connections between BGP speakers within
the same AS are referred to as "internal" links.
• Messages are sent over a reliable transport protocol connection. A
message is processed only after it is entirely received. The maximum
message size is 4096 octets. All implementations are required to
support this maximum message size.

b) State the need for 6M

1. Sequence Control
2. Error Control
3. Flow Control in Networking
Ans. Sequence Control
The 32-bit sequence number field defines the number assigned to the 2M for each
first byte of data contained in this segment. TCP is a stream transport
protocol.
To ensure connectivity, each byte to be transmitted is numbered. The
sequence number tells the destination which byte in this sequence
comprises the first byte in the segment.
During connection establishment, each party uses a Random number
generator to create an initial sequence number (ISN), which is usually
different in each direction. We know that a TCP sequence number is 32
bit. So it has finite (from 0 to (232-1) = 4 Giga sequence numbers) and
it means we will be able to send only 4GB of data with a unique sequence
number not more than that. It helps with the allocation of a sequence
number that does not conflict with other data bytes transmitted over a
TCP connection. An ISN is unique to each connection and separated by
each device.
Error Control
Error Control mechanisms are useful to ensure reliability service of TCP.
To provide reliable service TCP detects and corrects errors.
Error control mechanisms are useful for detecting corrupted segments,
lost segments, out-of-order segments, and duplicated segments.
Error detection and correction in TCP is achieved through the use of three
simple tools: checksum, acknowledgment, and time-out.

Flow Control
Flow control make it possible for sender to send the amount of data bytes
that can be sent without worrying an acknowledgment and is one of the
most important duties of the data link layer. In most protocols, flow
control is a set of procedures that tells the sender how much data it can
transmit before it must wait for an acknowledgment from the receiver.
The flow Control procedures not allowed to overwhelm the receiver.
Any receiving device has a limited speed at which it can process
incoming data and a limited amount of memory in which to store
incoming data, if sender sends data in a much speed data loss may occur
to overcome this problem flow control procedures are needful.

network.
Ans. Three Transition from IPv4 to IPv6 strategies are 2M for each
1. Dual Stack transition
2. Tunnelling
3. Header Translation
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

about all its neighbors to the entire Internet in a process called flooding,
as discussed earlier. For this, it sends a special packet called Link State

fourth column).

Every router receives every LSP packet, and uses it to create a local
database called link state database. Thus, a link state database is a
collection of all LSPs. Every router stores such a database on its disk,

algorithm called Dijkstra algorithm to create its routing table. This
algorithm considers the Internet as a graph, and finds the distance along
a shortest path from a single node of the graph to all other nodes in the
graph. Using this information, a routing table is created to compute the
shortest path. This algorithm must be run for each routing table once.

Drawbacks
• Memory Requirements − the link-state routing algorithm creates
and maintains a database and SPF tree. The database and SPF tree
required more memory than a distance vector algorithm.
• Processing Requirements − to build a complete map of the
topology Link-state routing protocols also require more CPU
processing.
• Bandwidth Requirements − The link-state routing protocol floods
link-state packet during initial start-up and also at the event like
network breakdown, and network topology changes, which affect
the available bandwidth on a network. If the network is not stable it
also creates issues on the bandwidth of the network.

• Email is often used to spread malware, spam and phishing attacks.
Attackers use deceptive messages to entice recipients to part with
sensitive information, open attachments or click on hyperlinks that

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.

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.
