Question

The instruction was to run wireshark on the website: www.dsu.edu I then enter in the filter box, http , then I find the Info line that starts with GET. I was supposed to answer these question based off the packet analysis of the GET frame. Can someone verify if I answered them correctly? Thanks

Finally, expand the line beginning with Hypertext Transfer Protocol, and examine the information. This is the data portion of the frame, and it is what a Web server actually sees and responds to. In this case, the HTTP command is GET, which means HTTP is requesting a page (or part of a page) from the Web server. Identify which layer(s) of the TCP/IP model it represents Application Internetwork Network Access Transport

Explanation / Answer

Introduction

TCP/IP is a network protocol. It is divided into layers where every layer has its specific functionality.

The TCP/IP layers are:

Each layer has some protocol associated with it to carry out their specific task.

Question 1

The application layer is absolutely correct as it is processing a get request which is an HTTP request and basically HTTP is associated with the Application layer.

So the correct answer is Application

Question 2

Transport layer receives the data from the layer above it. There are many protocols that work at this layer but the two Important protocols in this layer are TCP and UDP. TCP is Transmission Control protocol so it is definitely associated with Transport Layer.

so correct answer would be Transport Layer

Question 3

The answer would be internet layer i.e called internetwork layer too. The IP i.e Internet protocol is used here. Usually, the package switching is done in this layer and Ip is associated with it.

So The answer would be internetwork layer

Question 4

Network Access Layer defines details of how data is physically sent through the network. Most commonly used is ethernet it is obvious it is linked to the network layer.

So the answer would be Network Access Layer
