TCP and UDP protocol, explained. in Danish

Hvad er TCP/UDP protokol

Både TCP og UDP stå for forskellige måder at sende data over et TCP /IP- netværk . Blandt de TCP /IP- protokollerne, repræsenterer disse to hovedparten af netværkstrafik på Internettet. Begge disse protokoller bruges af programmer til at kommunikere data , men med forskellige niveauer af sikkerhed , og hver med sine egne særlige fordele og risici.


TCP explained:
TCP står for Transmission Control Protocol . TCP sætter op en forbindelse mellem to endepunkter , som en telefon opkald , før du sender nogen konkrete data . Når en forbindelse er lavet , TCP også holder de data, bestilt fra start til slut . Det betyder, at nogle båndbredde bruges til at holde styr på forbindelsen , hvilket gør TCP mere pålidelige , men mindre effektiv.
 
UDP explained:
UDP står for User Datagram protokollen. UDP kun garanterer, at hver " datagram " er sendt og modtaget som en hel enhed , ligesom en e-mail kuvert . Datagrammer kan sendes og modtages i vilkårlig rækkefølge , men giver ikke nogen kvittering for levering . Da det ikke spor forbindelsen , UDP bruger mindre båndbredde . Dette gør UDP mere effektivt , men mindre pålidelig.

Conlusion & Compering:
UDP og TCP har deres plads i netværk . At være en mere effektiv protokol , er UDP bruges til high-performance opgaver , såsom online spil og løse web -adresser . At være en mere pålidelig protokol , er TCP bruges til streaming indhold og sikre transmissioner , som World Wide Web , medieafspillere og sikkert netværk . Mange programmer bruger en blanding af begge protokoller , udnytte hver en måde, der giver de bedste resultater.

how to kill active TCP connections

You could also use IPTables which works on all Linux distros.

For dropping traffic from a single host I use:

Code:
iptables -I INPUT -s  -j DROP
Just replace with the address of the host that you want to drop traffic from.

In order to accommodate a new building, the technician has decided to use the fifth subnet for configuring the new network (subnet zero is the first subnet). By company policies, the router interface is always assigned the first usable host address and the workgroup server is given the last usable host address. Which configuration should be entered into the workgroup server's properties to allow connectivity to the network?
  • IP address: 192.168.10.38 subnet mask: 255.255.255.240 default gateway: 192.168.10.39
  • IP address: 192.168.10.38 subnet mask: 255.255.255.240 default gateway: 192.168.10.33
  • IP address: 192.168.10.38 subnet mask: 255.255.255.248 default gateway: 192.168.10.33
  • IP address: 192.168.10.39 subnet mask: 255.255.255.248 default gateway: 192.168.10.31
  • IP address: 192.168.10.254 subnet mask: 255.255.255.0 default gateway: 192.168.10.1


Which of the following network devices are recommended to be assigned static IP addresses? (Choose three.)
  • LAN workstations
  • servers
  • network printers

  • remote workstations
  • laptops

Which of the following are features of IPv6? (Choose three.)
  • larger address space
  • faster routing protocols
  • data types and classes of service
  • authentication and encryption
  • improved host naming conventions
  • same addressing scheme as IPv4

What is the primary reason for development of IPv6?
  • security
  • header format simplification
  • expanded addressing capabilities
  • addressing simplification

What two things will happen if a router receives an ICMP packet which has a TTL value of 1 and the destination host is several hops away? (Choose two.)
  • The router will discard the packet.
  • The router will decrement the TTL value and forward the packet to the next router on the path to the destination host.
  • The router will send a time exceeded message to the source host.
  • The router will increment the TTL value and forward the packet to the next router on the path to the destination host.
  • The router will send an ICMP Redirect Message to the source host.


Refer to the exhibit. Why would the response shown be displayed after issuing the command ping 127.0.0.1 on a PC?
  • The IP settings are not properly configured on the host.
  • Internet Protocol is not properly installed on the host.
  • There is a problem at the physical or data link layer.
  • The default gateway device is not operating.
  • A router on the path to the destination host has gone down.

How many bits make up an IPv4 address?
  • 128
  • 64
  • 48
  • 32


Refer to the exhibit. A network administrator discovers that host A is having trouble with Internet connectivity, but the server farm has full connectivity. In addition, host A has full connectivity to the server farm. What is a possible cause of this problem?
  • The router has an incorrect gateway.
  • Host A has an overlapping network address.
  • Host A has an incorrect default gateway configured.
  • Host A has an incorrect subnet mask.
  • NAT is required for the host A network.

What three facts are true about the network portion of an IPv4 address? (Choose three.)
  • identifies an individual device
  • is identical for all hosts in a broadcast domain
  • is altered as packet is forwarded
  • varies in length
  • is used to forward packets
  • uses flat addressing

What is a group of hosts called that have identical bit patterns in the high order bits of their addresses?
  • an internet
  • a network
  • an octet
  • a radix

What is the network address of the host 172.25.67.99 /23 in binary?
  • 10101100. 00011001.01000011.00000000
  • 10101100. 00011001.01000011.11111111
  • 10101100. 00011001.01000010.00000000
  • 10101100. 00011001.01000010.01100011
  • 10101100. 00010001.01000011. 01100010
  • 10101100. 00011001.00000000.00000000


Refer to the exhibit. A network administrator has to develop an IP addressing scheme that uses the 192.168.1.0 /24 address space. The network that contains the serial link has already been addressed out of a separate range. Each network will be allocated the same number of host addresses. Which network mask will be appropriate to address the remaining networks?
  • 255.255.255.248
  • 255.255.255.224
  • 255.255.255.192
  • 255.255.255.240
  • 255.255.255.128
  • 255.255.255.252
