File Transfer Protocol
• Most basic file transfer application in the Internet
•
•
•
•
– One of the original client/server applications run on the ARPANET
Runs on top of TCP
Allows for both file transfer and interactive access
Requires authentication via user name and password
Requires that a host system run an FTP server
– Listens for incoming requests on a well known port (21)
– Anonymous/Guest logins are common
• FTP is a two process model
– Control process which communicates with peer control process
• These processes communicate commands/responses as well as port
information
– Data transfer process which actually transfers requested file
CS 640

File Transfer Protocol contd.
• Client control process connects to server control
process
– ftp mirror1.cs.wisc.edu
• The client also starts a data transfer process which
listens on a local port
– Communicates this port number to server via control process
• If client requests a file transfer, server initiates
connection to client’s data transfer port
– Server uses well known port for data transfer (20)
• Commands used by FTP are actually a subset of TELNET
protocol NVT ASCII

Telnet
• Internet’s most basic network virtual terminal application allowing
users to log into a remote host
• Runs on top of TCP
• Requires authentication via user name and password
• Requires host system to run a telnet server (telnetd)
• Passes keystrokes to remote system and carries output back to
user’s screen
• Offers three basic services
– Network virtual terminal – standard interface to remote system
– Mechanism for negotiating communication options
– Treats both ends of a connection symmetrically
CS 640
8
Telnet
• Client’s TELNET process connects to server’s TELNET
– telnet foo.cs.wisc.edu
• Server listens on well known port (23) for incoming connections
– forks new slave process to handle connection
• Much of the hard work in telnet is to accommodate heterogeneity
of systems
– Control characters, etc.
– Accomplished via network virtual terminal (NVT) specification for
ASCII
• It’s not very secure!
• It can cause a lot of traffic - tinygrams
– Nagle’s algorithm (RFC 896, ‘84)
• Collects and sends groups of data based on ACK process
CS 640

Simple Mail Transfer Protocol
• Basic protocol for email exchange over the Internet
• Runs on top of TCP
• Fundamental difference between SMTP and FTP/TELNET is that it
is NOT an interactive protocol
– Messages are queued and spooled by SMTP agent
• Users interact with email application
– Lots!
• Application interfaces with Message Transfer Agent
– Sendmail on UNIX
– Setup and configured by admins.
• SMTP specifies how MTA’s pass email across the Internet
– Also uses NVT commands
CS 640
10
Simple Mail Transfer Protocol
• Client uses email application to construct and send messages
– Addresses consist of machine name and mailbox address
• Mailbox is usually the same as one’s login but you can have aliases
• Destination machine can also be an alias@cs.wisc.edu
• Message is passed to mail spooler which is part of MTA
– Application communicates with MTA via email transfer protocol
• Post Office Protocol (POP3) is common, but not very secure
• Our department uses IMAP
• MTA’s on remote systems listen for incoming mail on well known port
(25)
• Messages are delivered in two parts – header and body
– Header format has exact specification = RFC 822
– Body content types are specified by MIME

Peer to Peer Applications
• Applications which facilitate the sharing of data between widely
distributed users
– Clearly the new “killer app” on the Internet
– Napster model
• One central source of meta data
– Gnutella model
• Distributed source of meta data
• This is the way things will go…
• Napster
– Invented by Shawn Fanning at Northeastern U. in 1998-9
– Founded as a company in May, 1999
– Indexes millions of songs on millions of systems world wide
• Well known servers at Abovenet and globalcenter
– Sued by Recording Industry Association of America in Dec. 1999
– Currently in limbo…

Napster Protocol
• There are three basic entities in Napster
– Client – browses, requests files
– Server – end host system which shares/serves files
– Metaserver/Redirector – file index repository
• Protocol is “private” – has been reverse engineered
• Messages are passed between entities
– Form: <length><type><data>
• Length and type are two bytes
• Length specifies the number of bytes of data
• Data is ASCII string often enclosed in quotes
– There are a large number of possible messages defined for the protocol
• Information – errors, versions, status…
• Control – login, upgrades, add/delete accounts…
• Operation – search, listings, transfer requests, etc.
CS 640
15
Napster Protocol contd.
• “Official” software runs on Windows
– Many other clients available eg. Gnapster
– All you need to access Napster is a client
• Runs on TCP
– Servers (typically) use ports 7777, 8888
– Metaservers run on port 8875
• Protocol
– Connect to a well known metaserver and login
– Can join chat session or search for files (our focus)
– Clients send “search query” request - results in locations of matching
files
– Downloading files happen directly between hosts
• Metaserver is not involved
CS 640
16
Napster Protocol contd.
• File transfers use one of four modes
– Up/download
– Firewall up/download
• Non-firewalled download
– Client sends download (203) request to metaserver
– Metaserver responds with download ack (204) that contains user,
IP address, port … of requested file
– Client makes TCP connection to server
• Server responds with ASCII “1” immediately
– Client sends GET in one packet then username, filename
• Also include byte offset to resume interrupted transfer
CS 640
17
Napster Protocol contd.
• Remote client returns filesize followed by datastream
• Client notifies metaserver transfer has begun (218) and ended (219)
• Firewalled download
– 204 ack from metaserver has port number 0 indicating server is behind a
firewall
– Client sends firewall download request (500) to metaserver requesting
that server upload file to client
• Client then waits for server to upload requested file
– Metaserver then contacts server requesting upload to client
• Done by HTTP tunneling: send message which looks like HTTP request
– Upload continues just like download
• Each upload is tracked
CS 640
18
Gnutella
• Napster’s flaw is that there is a single source for the index
• The simple idea in Gnutella is to distribute the method for finding
data
– Great idea!
– Lots of fun architectural possibilities!
– A few interesting research projects underway
• Gnutella is a distributed search protocol with a decentralized model
– Clients can issue/view query results
– Clients can serve/request data
– Clients accept queries and respond with matches from their local data
store
– Provides for highly reliable system
CS 640
19
Gnutella Protocol
• Protocol defines method of client communication
– Set of descriptors used for communicating data
– Setof rules governing inter-client exchange of descriptors
• Descriptors
–
–
–
–
–
Ping: active discovery of hosts on a network
Pong: response to Ping includes client address and metadata
Query: search mechanism
QueryHit: response to Query includes info necessary to get data
Push: mechanism enabling firewalled clients to be part of network
• A Gnutella client (servent) connects to network by establishing a
connection with another client on the network
– Finding another client is not part of Gnutella spec.
• Host cache services are the typical way this is done
CS 640
20
Gnutella Protocol
• New client then creates connection to the Gnutella client and
thereby becomes part of the network
– Gnutella client can reject the connect request
– Successful new client can then send/receive descriptors
• Pings/pongs are then sent to establish network
– No specification as to how much/often to probe
– Network data can/is cached
• Message routing should be well behaved
– Ping/Query descriptors should be sent to all directly connected clients
– Pong/QueryHit descriptors should be sent back along same path
– TTL is mechanism to limit distance
• File downloads via HTTP/1.0 protocol via direct connect
