CPS706 Lab4 Report

The lab report details the analysis of a TCP connection between a client and a server, including IP addresses, port numbers, and segment information. It discusses the TCP handshake process, data transfer metrics, and the behavior of the connection in terms of slow start and congestion avoidance. Additionally, it provides insights into throughput, estimated round-trip times, and the absence of retransmissions.

Lab 4 Report

CPS 706 Computer Networks

Section: 09
1.
●​ The client computer's IP address is: 192.168.1.102
●​ The client is using TCP port number: 1161

2.
●​ The IP address of gaia.cs.umass.edu is: 128.119.245.12
●​ The port number used by gaia.cs.umass.edu is: 80 (which is the standard port for
HTTP traffic).

3.
●​ The IP address of the client computer (source) is: 192.168.1.102
●​ The TCP port number used is: 1161

4.
●​ The TCP SYN segment is in Packet 1: ○ The sequence number is 0 (as shown in
"Seq=0").
●​ It is identified as a SYN segment by the presence of the [SYN] flag

5.
●​ The SYN-ACK response is in Packet 2:
○​ The sequence number of the SYN-ACK is 0 (as shown in "Seq=0").
○​ The Acknowledgment field value is 1 (Ack=1).
○​ The server determines this value by adding 1 to the initial sequence number
of the SYN from the client.
○​ The segment is identified as a SYN-ACK by the presence of both SYN and
ACK flags.

6.
●​ The HTTP POST request is found in Packet 4.
●​ The sequence number of this segment is: 1 (Seq=1).

●​ Segment 1 (HTTP POST, Frame 4): 619 bytes
●​ Segment 2 (Frame 5): 1514 bytes
●​ Segment 3 (Frame 7): 1514 bytes
●​ Segment 4 (Frame 8): 1514 bytes
●​ Segment 5 (Frame 10): 1514 bytes
●​ Segment 6 (Frame 11): 1514 bytes
9.
●​ Minimum Advertised Buffer (Window Size): 5840 bytes
●​ Throttling?: No; the receiver’s advertised window does not drop to zero, so the
sender is not throttled.

10.
●​ There are no retransmissions detected.
●​ To check for retransmissions, we would look for duplicate sequence numbers with
higher timestamps or TCP [Retransmission] flags in Wireshark.

11.
●​ Data per ACK: Typically about 1460 bytes (the common maximum segment size).
●​ ACK Behavior: In many cases the receiver issues cumulative acknowledgements
(sometimes acknowledging every other segment) depending on its buffering and
delayed ACK strategy.

12.
Total Data Transferred (entire file): 150,000 bytes

● Time taken for transfer:

○ First data segment sent at: 0.026477 s

○ Final ACK received at: 1.362074 s

○ Total time: 1.362074 s – 0.026477 s = 1.335597 s

● Throughput: 150,000 bytes / 1.335597 s ≈ 112,300 bytes/s ≈ 112.3 KBps

(assuming 1 KB = 1,000 bytes)


13.
● Slow Start: Begins after the three-way handshake with an exponential increase in window
size (steep curve).

● Congestion Avoidance: Starts when ssthresh is reached; window size grows linearly.

● Differences from Ideal TCP:

○ Packet loss/retransmissions create horizontal gaps or repeats.

○ Variable RTT causes irregular spacing in sequence numbers.

○ Delayed ACKs introduce brief pauses in transmission.

14.
● Slow Start: Sequence numbers rise steeply after the handshake.

● Congestion Avoidance: Growth slows and becomes linear.

● Real vs. Ideal TCP:

○ Retransmissions appear as duplicate sequence numbers.

○ Variable RTT causes some ACK delays.

○ Throughput fluctuates rather than increasing smoothly.
