TELNET Options• Each side of the connection requests or tells its partner

the options it wants or can do.• Options are formatted in:

– WILL or WON’T <option> – DO or DON’T <option>

• Negotiates options such that symmetry can be set up between two stations.

• Options include:– Ability to echo– Terminal type– Setting line mode so that groups of characters can be

sent

FTP Commands• open–creates a connection between two hosts.

• close–closes a connection between two hosts.

• bye–ends the FTP session.

• binary–indicate that the file is binary data.

• get–get the remote file.

• mget–wildcard to get multiple files.

• put - puts a file to the remote resource.

• mput - wildcard to put multiple files.

• cd - change directory on the remote device.

• dir - get a directory listing on the remote device.

• ldir - get a local directory.

• hash - display hash marks during the transfer.

FTP Example

99,760 bits per second

Trivial File Transfer Program (TFTP)

• A simplex file transfer program.

• Uses UDP.

• Transfers 512 bytes at a time.

• Transfers one segment at a time.

• Acknowledged by the application.

• Any datagram less than 512 bytes indicates the last datagram in the transfer.

• Popular for network booting of devices.

Domain Name Service (DNS)

• Provides a naming service for TCP/IP.– Provides many functions related to IP addresses and names

• Three components– A name server, a name resolver, and a database

DNS Structure

• Hierarchical in structure.• Each level provides further definition.• Each branch is called a level (63 characters in length).• Internet Registry provides uniqueness in names.• A single domain is assigned and may be further defined

by the local site.

DNS Components

• Domain Name Space and resource records

• Name servers

• Resolvers

Query Functions Types

• Two types of queries: recursive and iterative.– Recursion means that the server must find the answer or return an error code– The resolver is an example of a recursive query– Iterative allows a server to return the best-known information– Servers are examples of both recursive and iterative

Query “Host”Query “Host”

Response “Can’t find it”Response “Can’t find it”

Query “Host.jj.com”Query “Host.jj.com” Root serverRoot server

Response “IP Address”Response “IP Address”

Example DNS Database• Records in the database include:

– A–host’s IP address– PTR–host’s domain name, host identified by its IP address– CNAME–host’s canonical name, host identified by an alias

domain name– MX–host’s or domain’s mail exchanger– NS–host’s or domain’s name server(s)– SOA–Indicates authority for the domain– TXT–generic text record– SRV–service location record– RP–text name of the person responsible for the domain

Playing with the Database

• nslookup <domain name> <IP Address>

• Go to Web site:://ds/internic.net/cool/dns.html

• Use this to see if a domain name is already assigned!!

WHOIS Command • Enables you to get more information on domain names, networks, etc.,

on the Web.

• ://ds.internic.net/cgi-bin/whois.

• “whois ascend.com” (without the quotes).

• Details Ascend.com domain such as:– Administrative contact (who to call)– Domain servers

• Can determine IP address blocks.– WHOIS net 192.1– BBN Corporation NETBLK-BBN-CNETBLK BBN-NCETBLK 192.1.0.0-

Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP)

•Today known as Electronic Mail, or email.•RFCs 821, 822, 974.•Email still cannot transport packages and other items.•Email is very fast and guarantees delivery.•Three protocols are used for today’s email.–SMTP–operates over TCP–POP–operates over TCP–DNS–operates over UDP

•SMTP allows for the sending/receiving of email.•POP allows us to intermittently retrieve email.•DNS makes it simple.

SMTP Functions• A message is created, properly addressed, and transmitted using

SMTP sender, which transmits it to an SMTP receiver, which stores the file.

• Address has the format of:– local-part@domain-name– Example: [email protected]– Mail service record in DNS:

• naugle.com IN MX 10 NT1mail_server.eng.naugle.com• SMTP was set up to handle only text.

– Based on the history of the protocol• Email applications convert using a variety of protocols like MIME

(Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions).

Post Office Protocol (POP)• SMTP is set up to send and receive mail by hosts

that are up full time.– No rules for those hosts that are intermittent on

the LAN• POP emulates you as a host on the network.

– It receives SMTP mail for you to retrieve later• POP accounts are set up for you by an ISP or your

company.• POP retrieves your mail and downloads it to your

personal computer when you sign on to your POP account.
