About this course
This course develops practical capability in TCP/IP. Its course-specific content covers IP delivery, Transport behaviour, Application protocols, Packet investigation, followed by an applied project focused on trace a request through the tcp-ip stack. The lessons include concrete configuration, design, testing or operational decisions appropriate to the subject.
Who this is for
Administrators, developers and practitioners who work with TCP/IP or plan to take on responsibilities in this area.
Before you start
Basic computer literacy and a foundational understanding of networking. Prior experience with the named product helps with the practical exercises.
Trace a request through the TCP-IP stack
Deliver trace a request through the tcp-ip stack. Use the module outcomes to state requirements, demonstrate a working result, test an expected failure or boundary case, and document assumptions and follow-up work.
Course content
Course-specific syllabus and practical exercises. Lab release, access arrangements and final delivery scope are confirmed before enrolment.
01IP delivery
+
- IPv4-IPv6 headers and routing
- ICMP and path-MTU concepts
Practical exerciseApply ip delivery to the trace a request through the tcp-ip stack and capture the validation evidence.
02Transport behaviour
+
- TCP handshake, sequencing and retransmission
- UDP datagrams and application responsibilities
Practical exerciseApply transport behaviour to the trace a request through the tcp-ip stack and capture the validation evidence.
03Application protocols
+
- DNS, HTTP and TLS boundaries
- Sockets, ports and connection state
Practical exerciseApply application protocols to the trace a request through the tcp-ip stack and capture the validation evidence.
04Packet investigation
+
- Read a sample connection trace
- Explain latency, loss and teardown behaviour
Practical exerciseApply packet investigation to the trace a request through the tcp-ip stack and capture the validation evidence.
05Applied project: Trace a request through the TCP-IP stack
+
- Define inputs, assumptions and acceptance criteria for: Trace a request through the TCP-IP stack.
- Implement the project using ip delivery, transport behaviour, application protocols, packet investigation.
Practical exerciseTrace a request through the TCP-IP stack.
06TCP/IP — validation and review
+
- Demonstrate the completed project against its acceptance criteria.
- Exercise an invalid-input or failure scenario and document the observed result.
Practical exercisepresent the project evidence, limitations and a repeatable handover.
