MPLAB Harmony v1.11 2 TCP/IP Stack Libraries Help TCP/IP Stack Library Overview Network Metrics TCP/IP Stack Library Overview This section provides an overview of the TCP/IP Stack libraries that are available in MPLAB Harmony. Introduction This topic provides an overview of the TCP/IP Stack in MPLAB Harmony. Description The MPLAB Harmony TCP/IP Stack provides a foundation for embedded network applications by handling most of the interaction required between the physical network port and your application. It includes modules for several commonly used application layers, including HTTP for serving web pages, SMTP for sending e-mails, SNMP for providing status and control, Telnet, TFTP, Serial-to-Ethernet, and much more. In addition, the stack includes light-weight and high-performance implementations of the TCP and UDP transport layers, as well as other supporting modules such as IP, ICMP, DHCP, ARP, and DNS. Network Metrics This topic provides TCP/IP network metrics information for PIC32MX and PIC32MZ devices. Description Network Metrics for the PIC32MX Test Setup: • PIC32 MZ Embedded Connectivity Starter Kit • PIC32 MX Ethernet Starter Kit II • Starter Kit I/O Expansion Board • Fast 100 Mbps Ethernet PICtail Plus • Windows 7 PC • TX buffer: 7350 bytes • RX buffer: 4400 bytes Iperf Bandwidth Measurements All bandwidth numbers are in kilobits per second.

  • Improving Networking
    IMPERIAL COLLEGE LONDON FINALYEARPROJECT JUNE 14, 2010 Improving Networking by moving the network stack to userspace Author: Matthew WHITWORTH Supervisor: Dr. Naranker DULAY 2 Abstract In our modern, networked world the software, protocols and algorithms involved in communication are among some of the most critical parts of an operating system. The core communication software in most modern systems is the network stack, but its basic monolithic design and functioning has remained unchanged for decades. Here we present an adaptable user-space network stack, as an addition to my operating system Whitix. The ideas and concepts presented in this report, however, are applicable to any mainstream operating system. We show how re-imagining the whole architecture of networking in a modern operating system offers numerous benefits for stack-application interactivity, protocol extensibility, and improvements in network throughput and latency. 3 4 Acknowledgements I would like to thank Naranker Dulay for supervising me during the course of this project. His time spent offering constructive feedback about the progress of the project is very much appreciated. I would also like to thank my family and friends for their support, and also anybody who has contributed to Whitix in the past or offered encouragement with the project. 5 6 Contents 1 Introduction 11 1.1 Motivation.................................... 11 1.1.1 Adaptability and interactivity.................... 11 1.1.2 Multiprocessor systems and locking................ 12 1.1.3 Cache performance.......................... 14 1.2 Whitix....................................... 14 1.3 Outline...................................... 15 2 Hardware and the LDL 17 2.1 Architectural overview............................. 17 2.2 Network drivers................................. 18 2.2.1 Driver and device setup.......................

RAW-sockets are an additional type of Internet socket available in addition to the well known DATAGRAM- and STREAM-sockets. They do allow the user to see and manipulate the information used for transmitting the data instead of hiding these details, like it is the case with the usually used STREAM- or DATAGRAM sockets. To give the reader an introduction into the subject we will first give an overview about the different APIs provided by Windows, Linux and Unix (FreeBSD, Mac OS X) and additional libraries that can be used OS-independent. In the next section we show general problems that have to be addressed by the programmer when working with RAW-sockets. We will then provide an introduction into the steps necessary to use the APIs or libraries, which functionality the different concepts provide to the programmer and what they provide to simplify using RAW and PACKET-sockets. This section includes examples of how to use the different functions provided by the APIs. Finally in the additional material we will give some complete examples that show the concepts and can be used as a basis to write own programs.

    Part 4 TRANSPORT LAYER SOCKET PROGRAMMING Client Server Programming - Slide Figures/quotes from Andrew Tanenbaum Computer Networks book (Teacher Slides) 1 Transport Layer Data transmission service goals for the application layer Efficiency Reliability Accuracy Cost-effective The entity that does the work is called the transport entity The transport entity Is usually part of the operating system kernel sometimes a separate library package which is loaded by the OS or even user processes And sometimes even on the network interface card The transport entity (TCP) employs the services of the network layer (IP), and its associated software and hardware (cards and device drivers) Client Server Programming - Slide Figures/quotes from Andrew Tanenbaum Computer Networks book (Teacher Slides) 2 Transport Layer The transport entity code runs entirely on users machines, but the network layer mostly runs on routers, cards, and other bridging hardware Bridging hardware is inherently unreliable and uncontrollable Ethernet cards, routers, and similar hardware do not contain adequate software for detecting and correcting errors To solve this problem we must add another layer that improves the quality of the service: the transport entity detects network problems: packet losses, packet errors, delays, etc. and then fixes these problems by: retransmissions, error corrections, synchronization, and connection resets Transport layer interface must be simple and convenient to use since it is intended for a human user Client Server Programming

    Chapter 6 The Transport Layer = L4 Messages Segments Packets Frames Bits / Bytes L2-L3-L4 encapsulation Transport layer sends segments in packets (in frames) Segment Frame trailer Segment Interactions L3-L4-L5 Transport layer offers connectionless (UDP) and connection- oriented (TCP) service to applications L4 vs. L3 L3 is “hop-by-hop”, operating on the source host, destination host, and on all the routers in the network. L4 is “end-to-end”, operating only on the source host and destination host! • The users have no control over the network, esp. when there are multiple networks in between • L3 does not retransmit pkts. (it just sends error notifications via ICMP), i.e. it is unreliable • L4 provides end-to-end reliability, i.e. it provides reliable service to L5 • Yes, L4 also provides unreliable service (UDP), but that has very little functionality. Simplified Transport Service Primitives (offered by L4 to L5) Applications (L5) invoke these primitives to implement connection- oriented transport service. Scenario: one server and multiple clients: – Each client calls connect, send, receive, disconnect – Server calls listen, receive, send, disconnect Segment High-level state diagram of TCP connection life-cycle Dashed lines show server Solid lines show client state sequence state sequence Transitions in italics are due to segment arrivals.

  • Design and Research of Future Network (IPV9) API
    International Journal of Advanced Network, Monitoring and Controls Volume 04, No.04, 2019 Design and Research of Future Network (IPV9) API Xu Yinqiu Xie Jianping Shanghai Decimal Network Information Shanghai Decimal Network Information Technology Co. Ltd. Technology Co. Ltd. E-mail: [email protected] E-mail: [email protected] Abstract—Socket is a way of process communication, that is protocol. Each socket has a socket number, including used it to invoke some API function to realize the distribution the IP address of the host and a 16-bit host port network libraries in different host of data exchange between number, such as (host IP address: port number). the relevant process. According to the TCP/IP protocol In short, Socket is equals to (IP address: port assigned to the network address of the local host, to number), which is represented by a decimal IP address communicate between the two processes, the host must know followed by a port number, separated by a colon or the other's location first, that is, the IP of the other host. At the comma. Each transport layer connection is uniquely same time, to get the port number, it is used to identify the identified by two terminals (that is, two sockets) at local communication process; a local process in communication each end of the communication. For example, if the will occupy a port number, different process port number is IPv4 address is 118.38.18.1 and the port number is 23, different, so it must be assigned a port number that is not used the resulting socket is (118.38.18.1:23), If the IPV9 before communication.

  • Socket Programming& Porting Linux On
    Socket Programming& Porting Linux on (Raspberry/ARM) Jay Shakti1, Taniya Das2, Rachit Gupta3, Arimardan Singh4 Department of Electronics &Communication Engineering, IIMT College of Engineering Greater Noida, (India) ABSTRACT The aim of the paper is to introduce sockets, its deployment pertaining to network programming. Sockets play a vital role in client server applications. The client and server can communicate with each other by writing to or reading from these sockets. They were invented in Berkeley as part of the BSD flavor of UNIX operating systems. And they spread like wildfire with the Internet. This paper introduces elements of network programming and concepts involved in creating network applications using sockets. One of the most basic network programming tasks likely to be faced as a java programmer is performing the socket functions/methods because java has been preferred mostly for establishing client server communications using sockets. I.INTRODUCTION In the 1980s, the US government‟s Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA) provided funds to the University of California at Berkeley to implement TCP/IP protocols under the UNIX operating system. During this project, a group of Berkeley researchers developed an application program interface (API) for TCP/IP network communications called the socket interface. The socket interface is an API TCP/IP networks i.e. it defines a variety of software functions or routines for the development of applications for TCP/IP networks. The socket interface designers originally built their interface into the UNIX operating system. However, the other operating systems, environments, such as Microsoft Windows, implement the socket interface as software libraries. 66 | P a g e These sockets are the programming interfaces provided by the TCP and UDP protocols for stream and datagram communication respectively of the transport layer which is a part of the TCP/IP stack.
