Transport Service Primitives

The primitives for a simple transport service.

Elements of Transport Protocols

• Addressing• Connection Establishment• Connection Release• Flow Control and Buffering• Multiplexing• Crash Recovery

1/4/2017 Mr Satyendra Mohan Srivastava 8

Transport Protocol

(a) Environment of the data link layer.(b) Environment of the transport layer.

1/4/2017 Mr Satyendra Mohan Srivastava 9

Addressing

TSAPs, NSAPs and transport connections.

1/4/2017 Mr Satyendra Mohan Srivastava 10

Connection Establishment

How a user process in host 1 establishes a connection with a time-of-day server in host 2.

1/4/2017 Mr Satyendra Mohan Srivastava 11

Connection Establishment

(a) TPDUs may not enter the forbidden region.(b) The resynchronization problem.

1/4/2017 Mr Satyendra Mohan Srivastava 12

Connection Establishment

Three protocol scenarios for establishing a connection using a three-way handshake. CR denotes CONNECTION REQUEST. (a) Normal operation, (b) Old CONNECTION REQUEST appearing out of nowhere. (c) Duplicate CONNECTION REQUEST and duplicate ACK.

1/4/2017 Mr Satyendra Mohan Srivastava 13

Connection Release

Abrupt disconnection with loss of data.

1/4/2017 Mr Satyendra Mohan Srivastava 14

Connection Release

The two-army problem.

1/4/2017 Mr Satyendra Mohan Srivastava 15

Connection Release

Four protocol scenarios for releasing a connection. (a) Normal case of a three-way handshake. (b) final ACK lost.

6-14, a, b

1/4/2017 Mr Satyendra Mohan Srivastava 16

Connection Release

(c) Response lost. (d) Response lost and subsequent DRs lost.

6-14, c,d

1/4/2017 Mr Satyendra Mohan Srivastava 17

Multiplexing

(a) Upward multiplexing. (b) Downward multiplexing.

1/4/2017 Mr Satyendra Mohan Srivastava 18

Crash Recovery

Different combinations of client and server strategy.

A Simple Transport Protocol

• The Example Service Primitives• The Example Transport Entity• The Example as a Finite State Machine

1/4/2017 Mr Satyendra Mohan Srivastava 20

The Example Transport Entity

The network layer packets used in our example.

1/4/2017 Mr Satyendra Mohan Srivastava 21

The Example Transport EntityEach connection is in one of seven states:1. Idle – Connection not established yet.2. Waiting – CONNECT has been executed, CALL REQUEST sent.3. Queued – A CALL REQUEST has arrived; no LISTEN yet.4. Established – The connection has been established.5. Sending – The user is waiting for permission to send a packet.6. Receiving – A RECEIVE has been done.7. DISCONNECTING – a DISCONNECT has been done locally.
