Assignment: Computer Networks
Using Wireshark, analyze your IPv4 or IPv6 traffic on your machine. Run Wireshark for at least 10 minutes or give it enough time to capture some traffic. Do research the protocol selected (IPv4 or IPv6) and talk about what it does and the trends regarding encryption. Use the IPv4 or IPv6 traffic capture and analyze it providing information on what is happening. Compared your traffic to what you researched about the protocol.
Research and understand the following:
• Network Layer
• Network Layer Protocols (specific for those on the capture)
• IP Addresses
• Ping, ipconfig, tracert, netstat
Tasks
1. What field does indicate if it IPv4 vs IPv6?
o Is that on the data link or network layer?
o Is the frame different depending if it IPv4 or IPv6?
2. Perform a "ping" command and locate on the capture.
o What's the payload of the "ping" packet? Is the payload important?
o Does the "ping" response have a payload? Is the payload important?
o Can you determine all the "pings" based on the TTL number?
3. What IP address have flags?
o Demonstrate them.
4. Are there any IP address fragmented on the capture?
o Demonstrate them.
o Why fragmented? Assumptions? Facts?
5. Which IP version is the one that the capture has the most (IPv4 or IPv6)
o Demonstrate and provide details
6. While capturing, perform and locate the following traffic produced by performing the following commands:
o ping
o tracert
7. Identify and classify IP addresses by class if IPv4 or by other methods if IPv6
8. From the capture, can you identify the subnet mask of the network(s)
o Explain and Demonstrate.
Format your assignment according to the following formatting requirements:
1. The answer should be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides.
2. The response also include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the student's name, the course title, and the date. The cover page is not included in the required page length.
