HTTP, TCP
What is the application layer protocol and underlying transport protocol for web?
Persistent connections with pipelining. Typically the HTTP server utilizes a configurable timeout interval.
What is the default mode of HTTP?
Control connection
What is used for sending information between the two hosts — information such as user identification, password, commands to change remote directory, and commands to put and get files in FTP?
Data connection
What is used to actually send files in FTP?
Control, data
What kind of connections does FTP use when transferring a file?
The server must associate the control connection with a specific user account, and the server must keep track of the users current directory as the user wanders about the remote directory tree
What must FTP keep track of?
HTTP, SMTP
What protocols send their control information in band?
FTP
What protocols send their control information out of band?
UDP, TCP
What two transport protocols are made available to applications by the Internet?
when a web site wants to identify users, either to restrict user access or to serve content as a function of the user identity

last-modified header field
301
moved permanently
404

specifies the host on which the object resides
Host header line
By sending messages into sockets
How do network processes communicate with each other?
Pick the protocol with services that best match your application's needs
How do you select a transport protocol to use?
Client side first initiates a control TCP connection with the server side on server port number 21. When the server side receives a command for a file transfer over the control connection, the server-side initiates a TCP data connection to the client side.
How does FTP work?
The HTTP client first initiates a TCP connection with the server. Once the connection is established, the browser and the server processes access TCP through their socket interfaces.
How does HTTP initiate and access TCP?
Implemented in client and server, executing on different end systems, Client server communicate to each other by exchanging HTTP messages
How does HTTP work?
Sending process passes cleartext data to SSL socket; SSL in sending host encrypts the data and passes it to TCP socket; encrypted data travels over Internet to the receiving process TCP socket; receiving socket passes encrypted data to SSL which decrypts the data; SSL passes clear text data through SSL socket to receiving process
How does SSL work?
the user provides the hostname of the remote host, causing the FTP client process in the local host to establish a TCP connection with the FTP server process in the remote host. The user then provides the user identification and password, which I sent over the TCP connection as part of FTP commands.
How does a user gain access to FTP?
200
OK
HTTP does not need to worry about lost data as that is TCP's job
What is the advantage of a layered architecture that we can see from HTTP?
Throughput
Rate at which the sending process can deliver bits to the receiving process
Non-persistent connections
Request response pairs are sent over separate TCP connections
Persistent Connection
Request response pairs are sent over the same TCP connection
SMTP, TCP
What is the application layer protocol and underlying transport protocol for email?
FTP, TCP
What is the application layer protocol and underlying transport protocol for file transfer?
SIP or proprietary; UDP or TCP
What is the application layer protocol and underlying transport protocol for internet telephony
Telnet, TCP
What is the application layer protocol and underlying transport protocol for remote terminal access?
HTTP, TCP
What is the application layer protocol and underlying transport protocol for streaming multimedia?
1. The HTTP client process initiates a TCP connection to the server on port number 80. There will be a TCP socket at the client and the TCP socket at the server. 2. The HTTP client sends an HTTP request message to the server via socket the request message includes the path name. 3. The HTTP server process received the request message from it's socket, retrieves the object from its storage, encapsulates the object in an HTTP response message, and sends the response message to the client via its socket. 4. The HTTP server process tells the TCP to close the TCP connection (doesn't close yet). 5. The HTTP client receives the response message. The TCP connection terminates. The message indicates that the encapsulated object is an HTML file. The client extracts the file from the response message, examines the HTML file, and finds references to the 10 JPEG objects. 6. The first four steps are then repeated for each of the referenced JPEG objects
What are the steps for HTTP with a non-persistent connection given a website consisting of a base HTML file and 10 JPEG images?
Server leaves the TCP connection open after sending a response. Subsequent request and responses between the same client server can be sent over the same connection
What are the steps for HTTP with persistent connections?
1. The browser establishes a TCP connection to the Web cache and sends an HTTP request for the object to the Web cache. 2. The web cache checks to see if it has a copy of the object stored locally. If it does, the web cache returns the object within an HTTP response message to the client browser 3. If the web cache does not have the object, the Web cache opens a TCP connection to the origin server. The web cache then sends an HTTP request for the object into the cache-to-server TCP connection. After receiving this request, the origin server sends this object within an HTTP response to the web cache.
What are the steps for a browser requesting an object using web cache?
1. Request is sent to Amazon web server. 2. Server creates unique id and creates an entry in back-end database that is indexed by the id 3. Server responds to client, including the id number in the set-cookie header. 4. Client receives response message and appends line to the special cookie file specifying the hostname and the cookie id in the set-cookie header 5. Every subsequent request from the client now includes the cookie id extracted from the cookie file under the cookie header 6. web browser receives request and accesses the database for the specified id
What are the steps for keeping user state with cookies?
Email, file transfer, web transfer
What are three examples of elastic applications?
Can substantially reduce the response time for a client request, can substantially reduce traffic on an institutions access link to the Internet. By reducing traffic, the institution does not have to upgrade bandwidth as quickly, thereby reducing costs.
What are two advantages of web cache?
Significant burden can be placed on the web server (TCP buffers must be allocated and variables must be kept in both the client and server for each of the TCP connections), Each object suffers a delivery delay of two RTTs (one to establish the connection and one to request and receive an object)
What are two cons of non-persistent connections?
Apache, Microsoft Internet information server
What are two examples of popular Web servers?
Data integrity, end-point authentication
What are two other security services that a transport protocol can provide besides confidentiality?
Connectionless, Unreliable data transfer

What does HTTP do?
The sending and receiving processes can both send messages over the connection at the same time
What does a full duplex connection insinuate?
The total number of simultaneous session
What does keeping track of state information for each ongoing user session constrain in FTP?
Using the same connection for both control and main data
What does sending control information in band mean?
Using a separate control connection from the main data
What does sending control information out-of-band mean?
Throttles sending process when network is congested, Attempt to limit each TCP connection to its fair share of bandwidth
What does the TCP congestion control mechanism do in summary?
method, url, HTTP version
What fields are included in the request line?
7-bit ASCII format
