Protocol Headers

0

Can someone help? I am a student studying Networking and have an assignment to use wireshark to capture frames and then identify which layer of the TCP/IP model the header represents.

  1. Ethernet II Header represents which layer (Application)?
  2. Internet Protocol header represents which layer (Transport)?
  3. Transmission Control Protocol header represents which layer (Network Access)?
  4. Hypertext Transfer Protocol header represents which layer (Internet)?

The class is only online and so I have no examples to reference. Can someone help?

One Answer:

  1. No, Application is wrong. This is trivial to research, so I suggest you get on Wikipedia etc. to find out.
  2. No, not Transport, see 1.
  3. Are you guessing? Wrong again :-)
  4. And... no.

This is really simple: google the words "Ethernet", "Internet Protocol", Transmission Control Protocol" and "Hyptertext Transfer Protocol" and you'll find the layers in no time.
