8. I have captured an IP packet in its binary format on the way from its source to destination. Now looking at the starting few bytes of the Packet (shown below) carefully. Provide following information about the packet
CAPTURED IP PACKET
01000101000000000000000111111111
00000000001111110010000000000000
001110110000011011111111000000001100000100000001000000010000000100001010000010100000101000000001








a. What is the total length of the packet
b. What is the Identification number of this packet
c. What is the version of the packet
d. What is the length of the header
e. Is the packet allowed to be fragmented
f. If it is fragmented then is it the last Packet
g. What type of precedence is given to this Packet
h. What type of services are required for this Packet
i. If it is Fragmented then what is the fragmentation offset
j. What upper layer protocol is this IP Packet Carrying
k. What is the source IP address
l. If the packet is already fragmented

If you put your capture in wireshark, it will answer most of your questions

Hello,

 

I tried to do this manually, here is what I have come up with. The letters in brackets correspond to the questions, and refer to the preceding bits:

 

0100(c)0101(d)00000000(g,h)0000000111111111(a)
0000000000111111(b)001(e)0000000000000(i)
0011101100000110(j)1111111100000000/
11000001-00000001-00000001-00000001(k)
00001010000010100000101000000001

 

a. What is the total length of the packet --> 255 bytes
b. What is the Identification number of this packet --> 63
c. What is the version of the packet --> 4
d. What is the length of the header --> 5
e. Is the packet allowed to be fragmented --> yes, fragment flag is set
f. If it is fragmented then is it the last Packet --> no
g. What type of precedence is given to this Packet --> none
h. What type of services are required for this Packet --> none
i. If it is Fragmented then what is the fragmentation offset --> no offset
j. What upper layer protocol is this IP Packet Carrying --> 6 (TCP)
k. What is the source IP address ---> 193.1.1.1
l. If the packet is already fragmented --> yes

 

There is a pretty decent document which you can use to dissect the binary info:

Hello,

 

great, you got almost exactly what I got, except for the source IP:

 

11000001.00000001.00000001.00000001

 

should be 193.1.1.1 ? How did you come up with 203.1.1.1 ?

Yes,

You are right that's my mistake.

Source IP in binary - 11000001.00000001.00000001.00000001
Source IP in decimal - 193.1.1.1

how we know fragmentation is already done or not and how did you find out total length kindly tell me in detail

Hello,

Above question we discuss the packet format. Below i try to explain that point, which one you want to understand. 

1) How we know fragmentation is already done or not ?

2) How did you find out total length kindly tell me in detail ?
