Chapter 2 2
Recall
 Physical and the Logical topology are the two types
of topologies
 LAN, MAN and WAN are the different types of
networks used
 Hierarchical model includes three layers, core layer,
distribution layer and the access layer
 Application layer, presentation layer, session layer,
transport layer, network layer, data link layer and the
physical layer are the different layers of the OSI
model

Chapter 2 3
TCP/IP Stack
 TCP/IP stack has four layers

TCP/IP

Network
Application
Interface

Transport Internet

Chapter 2 4
Application Layer
 Application layer clubs the functionality of application,
presentation, and session layers of the OSI model
 Protocols that function at the application layer include
 Hyper Text Transfer Protocol (HTTP)

 Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)

 File Transfer Protocol (FTP)

 Telnet

Chapter 2 5
Transport Layer
 Layer is responsible for source-to-destination
delivery of the entire message
 Ensures that the entire message arrives at the
destination computer
 Protocols that function in the transport layer include
 TCP

 User Datagram Protocol (UDP)

Chapter 2 6
Internet Layer
 Layer allows routing of data over the network
 Protocols that function in the network layer include
 Address Resolution protocol (ARP) - ARP

provides a method for finding the Media Access

Control (MAC) address of the host computer from
its IP address
 Reverse Address Resolution Protocol (RARP) -

RARP provides a method for finding the IP

address of the host computer from the MAC
address

Chapter 2 7
Internet Control Message Protocol
(ICMP)
 ICMP functions at the network layer of Internet
Protocol
 The protocol reports errors related to the delivery of
IP packets within a network
 ICMPs generate the following four messages
 Destination Unreachable message

 Echo request message

 Redirect message

 Time exceeded message

Chapter 2 8
IP Addressing
 IP address is a 32-bit binary number that is unique for each
device
 IP address is converted to a decimal format to make them
readable for the humans
 Within the network, the IP address is interpreted in a binary
format consisting of 0 and 1
 IP address of 10010100101000101001010010101011, it is
split into 4 octets such as
 10010100

 10100010

 10010100

 10101011

Chapter 2 9
IP Addressing
 To convert the bits to a decimal format, right most bit in
the octet has the least value of 20. This value goes on
increasing towards the left

Bits 1 0 0 1 0 1 0 0

Values 27 = 128 26 = 64 25 = 32 24 = 16 23 = 8 22 = 4 21 = 2 20 = 1

Chapter 2 10
IP Addressing
 You need to multiply the bits with its corresponding value in the table

Bits 1 0 0 1 0 1 0 0

Values 27 = 128 26 = 64 25 = 32 24 = 16 23 = 8 22 = 4 21 = 2 20 = 1

Multiplied
128 0 0 16 0 4 0 0
Values

Chapter 2 11
IP Addressing
 The equivalent decimal value for the octet will be the
addition of all the multiplied values
 For the octet 10010100, the decimal value will be
128+0+0+16+0+4+0+0 = 148
 So the IP address of the machine will be
148.162.148.171

Chapter 2 12
Classification of IP Addresses

CLASSES

Class A Class B Class C Class D Class E

1-126 128 - 191 192 -223 224-239 240 - 255

Chapter 2 13
IP Address Components
 A network number denotes the network segment to
which the device is connected
 A host number specifies the address of the device in
the network segment. Host numbers are the
numbers between the network number and the
directed broadcast number

Chapter 2 14
Subnet Mask
 Subnet mask is used to identify the network bits and
host bits in the IP address
 A subnet mask always has a series of consecutive
1s followed by consecutive 0s
 A subnet mask cannot start with the bit 0 or ending
with the bit 1

Chapter 2 15
IP Subnetting

Chapter 2 16
Algorithm to determine the number
of hosts and subnets
 Identify the IP address structure
 Determine the number of network bits based on the
class of the IP address
 Determine the number of host bits based on the
number of 0s in the mask
 Determine the number of host bits using the formula,
32 – (network bits + host bits)
 Calculate the number of subnets using the formula,
2subnet bits – 2
 Calculate the number of hosts in each subnet using
the formula, 2host bits – 2
Chapter 2 17
Case Study
The Blue Diamond Steel organization located in
Gujarat is granted an IP address 220.56.64.0 by
Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA). The
company requires five different subnets for its
Finance, Business Development, Software
Management, Project Management and Detailing
departments. The network administrator Robert needs
to design the subnets for the company.

Chapter 2 20
Variable Length Subnet Mask
(VLSM)
 VLSM allows you to use different masks for each

subnet
 Classful protocols such as Routing Information
Protocol version 1 (RIPv1) and IGRP do not support
VLSM
 Advantages of VLSM include
 Efficient use of IP addressing

 Route summarization

Chapter 2 21
Route Summarization
 Advantages of route summarization include:
 Reduction in the size of routing table, memory

requirement and time for processing

 Reduction in the size of updates and bandwidth

requirement
 Detection of networking problems that ensures

proper routing of the packets to the destination

Chapter 2 22
VLSM Design
 A VLSM design ensures efficient use of available IP
addresses as well as more-efficient routing update
communication using hierarchical IP addressing
 Design criteria that affect the functioning of the
VLSM technology include
 Total subnets required currently

 Total subnets that may be required in the future

 Number hosts on the largest subnet currently

 Number of hosts that may be required on the

largest subnet in future

Summary - I
 TCP/IP is a protocol suite that allows data transfer
between network devices
 The Application layer clubs the functionality of application,
presentation, and session layers of the OSI model
 The transport layer is responsible for source-to-destination
delivery of the entire message
 The network layer allows routing of data over the network
 The data-link layer allows the source computer to add
meaningful bits to the data packet so that the destination
computer identifies it

Chapter 2 25
Summary - II
 Every device that is connected to the network using the TCP/IP
protocol requires an IP Address
 The IP address is a 32-bit number that is unique for each device
 The IP address is converted to a decimal format to make them
readable for the human eye
 The 32-bit binary IP address is represented as 4 octets, each
consisting of 8 bits
 Every IP address consists of two parts, the network, and the host
number
 The network number identifies the network segment and the host
number identifies the actual device

Chapter 2 26
Summary - III
 Host numbers are the numbers between the
network number and the directed broadcast number
 Subnetting refers to the process of grouping a
definite number of devices
 A subnet mask allows us to identify the network
number and the host number of an IP address
 A subnet mask contains 32 bits similar to IP
addresses and is represented in a decimal form
separated by periods

Chapter 2 27
Summary - IV
 In a binary format, the bit 1 in the subnet mask
represents the network number and the bit 0 represents
the host number
 A subnet mask always has a series of consecutive 1s
followed by consecutive 0s
 The higher order bits are always reserved for subnetting
 The boolean AND operation enables us to identify the
subnet number in an IP address
 The directed broadcast address specifies all host
addresses on the particular network

Chapter 2 28
Summary - V
 You can calculate network and host requirements
using the following formulae:
 2X = > number of networks, where X refers to

number of subnet bits

 2Y – 2 = > hosts on largest segment, where Y

represents the host bits.

 X + Y <= total host bits

 Variable Length Subnet Mask (VLSM) allows you to

use different masks for each subnet to prevent the
wastage of address space
