ICMP Is Used In The Following Events:

 

DESTINATION UNREACHABLE - If A Router Cannot Send An Ip Packet Any Further, It Uses An Icmp Echo To Send A Message Back To The Sender Notifying It That The Remote Node Is Unreachable.

 

BUFFER FULL - If A Routers Memory Buffer Is Full Icmp Will Send Out A Message To The Originator.

 

HOPS - EACH IP DATAGRAM IS ASSIGNED A PATH.  This Consists Of Hops.  If It Goes Through The Maximum Number Of Hops, The Packet Is Discarded And The Discarding Router Sends An Icmp Echo To The Host.

 

PING - Ping Use ICMP Echo Message To Check Connectivity.

A.)  Latency Varies Depending On Frame-Length

B.)  Latency Is Constant

C.)  It Is Default For All Cisco Switches

D.)  It Only Reads The Destination Hardware Address Before Forwarding The Frame

 

Store-And-Forward Switching Copies The Entire Frame Into Its Buffer And Computes The Crc.  If A Crc Error Is Detected, The Frame Is Discarded, Or If The Frame Is A Runt (Less Than 64 Bytes Including The Crc) Or A Giant (More Than 1518 Bytes Including The CRC).

 

The LAN Switch Then Looks Up The Destination Address In Its Switching Table And Determines The Outgoing Interface.  The Frame Is Then Forwarded To The Outgoing Interface.  Cisco Catalyst 5000 Switches Uses The Store-And-Forward Method.  The Problem With Store-And-Forward Switching Is Latency Is Increased.  Latency Also Varies With The Size Of The Frame. The Larger The Frame, The More Latency Associated.  This Of Course Is Due To The Fact That The Entire Frame Is Copied Into Its Buffer Before Being Forwarded.

B.)  21

C.)  11

D.)  6

 

TRANSMISSION CONTROL PROTOCOL - TCP Is A Connection Oriented Transport Layer Protocol With Built In Reliability.  It Takes A Large Block Of Data And Breaks It Down Into Segments.

 

It Numbers And Sequences Each Segment So The Destination's TCP Protocol Can Re-Assemble It Back Into The Original Order.  TCP Uses Acknowledgements Via Sliding Windows.  It Has A Large Overhead Due To Built In Error Checking.  The Protocol Use Protocol # 6.

 

TCP Is A Connection-Oriented Transport Protocol That Sends Data As An Unstructured Stream Of Bytes. By Using Sequence Numbers And Acknowledgment Messages, TCP Can Provide A Sending Node With Delivery Information About Packets Transmitted To A Destination Node.

 

 Where Data Has Been Lost In Transit From Source To Destination, TCP Can Retransmit The Data Until Either A Timeout Condition Is Reached Or Until Successful Delivery Has Been Achieved. TCP Can Also Recognize Duplicate Messages And Will Discard Them Appropriately.

 

If The Sending Computer Is Transmitting Too Fast For The Receiving Computer, TCP Can Employ Flow Control Mechanisms To Slow Data Transfer. TCP Can Also Communicates Delivery Information To The Upper-Layer Protocols And Applications It Supports. All These Characteristics Makes TCP An End-To-End Reliable Transport Protocol. TCP Is Specified In RFC 793 leavingcisco.com.

HOW DOES A SWITCH USE STORE AND FORWARD?

 

A.)  By Using A Class I Repeater In A Collision Domain

B.)  The Lan Switch Copies The Entire Frame Into Its Onboard Buffers And Then Looks Up The Destination Address In Its Forwarding, Or Switching, Table And Determines The Outgoing Interface

C.)  By Using Broadcast Addresses As Source Addresses

D.)  The Switch Waits Only For The Header To Be Received Before It Checks The Destination Address And Starts Forwarding The Packets

 

STORE-AND-FORWARD SWITCHING Copies The Entire Frame Into Its Buffer And Computes The CRC.  If A CRC Error Is Detected, The Frame Is Discarded, Or If The Frame Is A Runt (Less Than 64 Bytes Including The CRC) Or A Giant (More Than 1518 Bytes Including The CRC).  The Lan Switch Then Looks Up The Destination Address In Its Switching Table And Determines The Outgoing Interface.

 

The Frame Is Then Forwarded To The Outgoing Interface.  Cisco Catalyst 5000 Switches Uses The Store-And-Forward Method.  The Problem With Store-And-Forward Switching Is Latency Is Increased.  Latency Also Varies With The Size Of The Frame.  The Larger The Frame, The More Latency Associated.  This Of Course Is Due To The Fact That The Entire Frame Is Copied Into Its Buffer Before Being Forwarded.

The LAN Switch Then Looks Up The Destination Address In Its Switching Table And Determines The Outgoing Interface.  The Frame Is Then Forwarded To The Outgoing Interface.  Cisco Catalyst 5000 Switches Uses The Store-And-Forward Method.  The Problem With Store-And-Forward Switching Is Latency Is Increased.  Latency Also Varies With The Size Of The Frame.

 

The Larger The Frame, The More Latency Associated.  This Of Course Is Due To The Fact That The Entire Frame Is Copied Into Its Buffer Before Being Forwarded.
