- 1. 1 TCP Connection Establishment and Termination 1
- 2. 2 Connection Establishment and Termination • required by connection-oriented transport protocols like TCP • need connection establishment and termination procedures to allow: – each end to know the other exists – negotiation of optional parameters – triggers allocation of transport entity resources 2
- 3. 3 Connection State Diagram 3 Assume a reliable network (no loss seen at the transport layer).
- 4. 4 Connection Establishment Diagram 4 What if either SYN is lost? (discussed later) Assume a reliable network (no loss seen at the transport layer).
- 5. 5 Connection Termination • either or both sides by mutual agreement • graceful or abrupt termination • if graceful, initiator must: – send FIN to other end, requesting termination – place connection in FIN WAIT state – when FIN received, inform user and close connection • other end must: – when receives FIN must inform TS user and place connection in CLOSE WAIT state – when TS user issues CLOSE primitive, send FIN & close connection 5
- 6. 6 Connection Establishment • two way handshake – A send SYN, B replies with SYN – lost SYN handled by re-transmission – ignore duplicate SYNs once connected • lost or delayed data segments can cause connection problems – eg. segment from old connection 6
- 7. 7 Two Way Handshake: Obsolete Data Segment 7 Solution: starting SN is far away from the last SN of the previous connection. Use request of the form SYNi where i +1 is the SN of the first data segment to be sent.
- 8. 8 Two Way Handshake: Obsolete SYN Segment 8
- 11. 11 TCP Connection Establishment: Summary • three way handshake – SYN, SYN-ACK, ACK • connection determined by source and destination sockets (host, port) • can only have a single connection between any unique pairs of ports • but one port can connect to multiple ports
- 12. 12 Connection Termination (2) • also need 3-way handshake • misordered segments could cause: – entity in CLOSE WAIT state sends last data segment, followed by FIN – FIN arrives before last data segment – receiver accepts FIN, closes connection, loses data • need to associate sequence number with FIN • receiver waits for all segments before FIN sequence number 12
- 13. 13 Connection Termination: Graceful Close • also have problems with loss of segments and obsolete segments • need graceful close which will: • send FIN i and receive AN i+1 • receive FIN j and send AN j+1 • wait twice maximum expected segment lifetime 13
