Step 1 Research Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) and provide a short summary of its features.

Make sure to include discussion regarding the OSI model and TCP/IP model layer or layers it

occupies. Define the communication method used (such as connection-oriented or connectionless,

reliable or unreliable), and some of the Application layer protocols that require it for their

functionality.

Step 2 Research User Datagram Protocol (UDP) and provide a short summary of its features. Make

sure to include discussion regarding the OSI model and TCP/IP model layer or layers it occupies.

Define the communication method used (such as connection-oriented or connectionless, reliable or

unreliable), and some of the Application layer protocols that require it for their functionality.

Step 3 Research Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) and provide a short summary of its

features. Make sure to include discussion regarding the OSI model and TCP/IP model layer or layers

it occupies. Define the communication method used (such as connection-oriented or connectionless,

reliable or unreliable), and some of the applications that take advantage of its functionality.

Hint

Refer to Chapter 7, TCP/IP Basics, and review Lab Exercise 7.02: Configuring IP

Addresses and Subnet Masks, and Lab Exercise 7.05: IP Addressing, MAC Addressing, and

Ethernet: Working Together, to see ICMP in action. Pay special attention to the Tech Tips

and the output of the Wireshark utility.

Step 4 Research Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) and provide a short summary of its

features. Make sure to include discussion regarding the OSI model and TCP/IP model layer or layers

it occupies. Define the communication method used (such as connection-oriented or connectionless,

reliable or unreliable), and some of the applications that take advantage of its functionality
