TCP/IP Protocols

TCP/IP is a large collection of different communication protocols.

A Family of Protocols

TCP/IP is a large collection of different communication protocols based upon the two original protocols TCP and IP.

TCP - Transmission Control Protocol

TCP is used for transmission of data from an application to the network.
TCP is responsible for breaking data down into IP packets before they are sent, and for assembling the packets when they arrive.

IP - Internet Protocol

IP takes care of the communication with other computers.
IP is responsible for the sending and receiving data packets over the Internet.

HTTP - Hyper Text Transfer Protocol

HTTP takes care of the communication between a web server and a web browser.
HTTP is used for sending requests from a web client (a browser) to a web server, returning web content (web pages) from the server back to the client.


HTTPS - Secure HTTP

HTTPS takes care of secure communication between a web server and a web browser.
HTTPS typically handles credit card transactions and other sensitive data.


SSL - Secure Sockets Layer

The SSL protocol is used for encryption of data for secure data transmission.


SMTP - Simple Mail Transfer Protocol

SMTP is used for transmission of e-mails.


MIME - Multi-purpose Internet Mail Extensions

The MIME protocol lets SMTP transmit multimedia files including voice, audio, and binary data across TCP/IP networks.


IMAP - Internet Message Access Protocol

IMAP is used for storing and retrieving e-mails.


POP - Post Office Protocol

POP is used for downloading e-mails from an e-mail server to a personal computer.


FTP - File Transfer Protocol

FTP takes care of transmission of files between computers.


NTP - Network Time Protocol

NTP is used to synchronize the time (the clock) between computers.


DHCP - Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol

DHCP is used for allocation of dynamic IP addresses to computers in a network.


SNMP - Simple Network Management Protocol

SNMP is used for administration of computer networks.


LDAP - Lightweight Directory Access Protocol

LDAP is used for collecting information about users and e-mail addresses from the internet.


ICMP - Internet Control Message Protocol

ICMP takes care of error-handling in the network.


ARP - Address Resolution Protocol

ARP is used by IP to find the hardware address of a computer network card based on the IP address.


RARP - Reverse Address Resolution Protocol

RARP is used by IP to find the IP address based on the hardware address of a computer network card.


BOOTP - Boot Protocol

BOOTP is used for booting (starting) computers from the network.


PPTP - Point to Point Tunneling Protocol

PPTP is used for setting up a connection (tunnel) between private networks.

Integration with vCloud Director failing after NSXT upgrade to 4.1.2.0 certificate expired

  Issue Clarification: after upgrade from 3.1.3 to 4.1.2.0 observed certificate to be expired related to various internal services.   Issue Verification: after Upgrade from 3.1.3 to 4.1.2.0 observed certificate to be expired related to various internal services.   Root Cause Identification: >>we confirmed the issue to be related to the below KB NSX alarms indicating certificates have expired or are expiring (94898)   Root Cause Justification:   There are two main factors that can contribute to this behaviour: NSX Managers have many certificates for internal services. In version NSX 3.2.1, Cluster Boot Manager (CBM) service certificates were incorrectly given a validity period of 825 days instead of 100 years. This was corrected to 100 years in NSX 3.2.3. However any environment originally installed on NSX 3.2.1 will have the internal CBM Corfu certs expire after 825 regardless of upgrade to the fixed version or not. On NSX-T 3.2.x interna...

Calculate how much data can be transferred in 24 hours based on link speed in data center

  In case you are planning for migration via DIA or IPVPN link and as example you have 200Mb stable speed so you could calculate using the below formula. (( 200Mb /8)x60x60x24) /1024/1024 = 2TB /per day In case you have different speed you could replace the 200Mb by any rate to calculate as example below. (( 5 00Mb /8)x60x60x24) /1024/1024 =  5.15TB  /per day So approximate each 100Mb would allow around 1TB per day.

Device expanded/shrank messages are reported in the VMkernel log for VMFS-5

    Symptoms A VMFS-5 datastore is no longer visible in vSphere 5 datastores view. A VMFS-5 datastore is no longer mounted in the vSphere 5 datastores view. In the  /var/log/vmkernel.log  file, you see an entry similar to: .. cpu1:44722)WARNING: LVM: 2884: [naa.6006048c7bc7febbf4db26ae0c3263cb:1] Device shrank (actual size 18424453 blocks, stored size 18424507 blocks) A VMFS-5 datastore is mounted in the vSphere 5 datastores view, but in the  /var/log/vmkernel.log  file you see an entry similar to: .. cpu0:44828)LVM: 2891: [naa.6006048c7bc7febbf4db26ae0c3263cb:1] Device expanded (actual size 18424506 blocks, stored size 18422953 blocks)   Purpose This article provides steps to correct the VMFS-5 partition table entry using  partedUtil . For more information see  Using the partedUtil command line utility on ESX and ESXi (1036609) .   Cause The device size discrepancy is caused by an incorrect ending sector for the VMFS-5 partition on the ...
