TCP Report DCCN
Part I
1
Socket addresses: 172.16.100.30:61009 , 104.18.22.19:443
2
Set flags: SYN , [SYN ,ACK] , ACK , ACK
3
Sequence number and acknowledgement number: 0,0
0,1
1,1
4
Window size: 65535 , 65535 , 255
Part II
3
Acknowledgement frequency:
How window sizes change? Window size decreases as receiver buffers incoming data and it
increases when buffer frees up.
6
How the window size is used in flow control?
The TCP window size helps in flow control by specifying how much data the sender can send
before needing an acknowledgment from the receiver. It ensures the sender doesn’t overwhelm the
receiver’s buffer.
7
Purpose of the HTTP OK message:
The HTTP OK message signifies that the server is ready to send the requested data to the client, and
it marks the beginning of the actual data transfer phase.
Part III
1
Number of TCP segments exchanged for connection termination: 2
1
Which end point started the connection termination phase?
Source
2
Flags sets in each of the segments used for connection termination: ACK , FIN
Part IV
2
Are answer in the question number 1 verified by the information in the detail pane lane?
3
Does any of the TCP packet headers carry options?
Yes some packet headers may contain options like timestamp option, window scale option but the
standard TCP header is 20 bytes in length . But in our captured file , there is no packet header with
options.
Explain : These packets having headers with more than 20 bytes contain some of the additional
options.
4
Size of a TCP packet with no option: 20 bytes
Size of a TCP packet with options: can be more than 20 bytes , maxm upto 40 bytes.
5
Is window size in any of the TCP packet zero?
Explain: No , in our captured file there is no TCP packet with window size = 0.But there can exist
some situation when buffer is full and window size is zero . The point to note is that window sliding
does not allow the buffer to get full . Once the window is full , the earliest packet is pulled ,
creating space for new packet , that’s why window size of TCP packet is shown to be 0.
