What is the difference between datagram and packet?

datagram is used in conectionless n/w e.g. UDP

Whereas packets used in connection oriented n/w e.g. ATM X.25 tcp

Provides information about how and where data should be delivered including the datas source and destination address?

IP belongs to the Network layer of the OSI Model and provides information about how and where data should be delivered.

Differences between IPV4 header and IPV6 header?

Figure 1 IPv4 Header

Figure 2 IPv6 Header

One feature of IPv6 that immediately comes to our mind is huge address space. This refers to the fact that, among many elements shown in Figure 1 and 2, the Source Address and the Destination Address has each been expanded from 32 bits to 128 bits. If you just think in terms of pure combination of numbers, there used to be 232 possible ways to represent addresses, but now there are 2128 possible ways to represent them.

However, if you compare Figures 1 and 2 again, you will realize that although IPv6 uses four times more digits to express the addresses of the source and the destination, length of the header has not increased much from that of IPv4. This is because header format has been simplified in IPv6. You can see that among many elements (called "field") shown in Figure 1, those shown in red do not exist in Figure 2.

One of the important changes is that there is no Options field in Figure 2. In IPv4, Options field can be used to add information about various optional services. For example, information related to encryption can be added here. Because of this, the length of the IPv4 header changes according to the situations. Due to this difference in length, routers that control communications according to the information in the IP header can't judge the length of the header just by looking at the beginning of the packet. This makes it difficult to speed up packet processing with hardware assist.

On the other hand, IPv6 moves information related to additional services to a section called extension header. The part shown in Figure 2 is called basic header. Therefore, for plain packets, IP header length is fixed to 40 bytes. In terms of making it easier to process packets with hardware, you can say that IPv6 can be accelerated much easier than IPv4.

Another field that exists in Figure 1 but is absent from Figure 2 is the Header Checksum field. A Header Checksum is a number used to check for errors in header information, and is calculated using the numbers in the header. However, problem with this approach is that header contains a number called TTL (Time To Live), which changes every time the packet goes through a router. Because of this, Header Checksum must be recalculated every time the packet goes through a router. If we can free up routers from this type of calculations, we could reduce the delay. Actually, TCP layer that resides above IP layer checks errors of various information including sender address and destination address. Since performing same calculations at the IP layer is redundant and unnecessary, Header Checksum is removed from IPv6.

Figure 1 contains 8bit field called "Service Type". This field is used to represent the priority of the packet, for example whether it should be delivered express or with normal speed, and allows communication devices to handle the packet accordingly. Service Type field is composed of TOS (Type of Service) field and Precedence field. TOS field specifies the type of service and contains cost, reliability, throughput, delay, or security. Precedence field specifies the level of priority using eight levels from 0 to 7. IPv6 provides the same function with a field called Traffic Class.

Flow Label field has a 20 bits length, and is a field newly established for IPv6. By using this field, packet's sender or intermediate devices can specify a series of packets, such as Voice over IP, as a flow, and request particular service for this flow. Even in the world of IPv4, some communication devices are equipped with the ability to recognize traffic flow and assign particular priority to each flow. However, these devices not only need to check the IP layer information such as address of the sender and the destination, but also need to check the port number which is an information that belongs to a higher layer. Flow Label field attempts to put together all these necessary information and provide them at the IP layer. However, specifics on how to use it is still undecided.

As we have seen in this article, IPv6 aims to provide intelligent transmission framework that is easy to handle for intermediate devices by keeping the basic header simple and fixed length.

Why do communications systems use serial transmission?

because it is cost effective. we use just one wire for transmission

What is the Main function of an Eithernet hub?

The primary function of the Ethernet hub is to connect the different cable segments. ...

What does the command line vty 0 1 mean?

vty stands for virtual terminal; it is used for connections such as Telnet or the safer SSH. The numbers 0 1 refer to a range of possible connections. Usually all possible connections on a router or switch should be programmed together, since you don't have control over which user accesses which connection.

For WPA2 is TKIP or AES better?

WPA2 with AES is more secure than TKIP. As of December 2009, TKIP is considered breakable while AES is currently considered not breakable.

A system has an n-layer protocol hierarchy Applications generate messages of lenght M bytesAt each of the layersan h-byte header is added What fraction of the network bandwidth is filled with header?

With n layers and h bytes added per layer, the total number of header bytes per message is hn, so the space wasted on headers is hn. The total message size is Mnh, so the fraction of bandwidth wasted on headers is hn /(M hn).

*MSD*

*FOE -UOR*

This i think is better.

With n layers and h bytes added per layer, the total number of header bytes per layer is h*n, so the space wasted on headers is hn. The total message size is M+ nh, so the fraction of bandwidth wasted on headers is hn /(M+ hn).

It is difficult to generalize about protocols because they vary so greatly in purpose but what properties do application protocols display?

The Application layer uses protocols that are implemented within applications and services. While applications provide people with a way to create messages and Application layer services establish an interface to the network, protocols provide the rules and formats that govern how data is treated.
