  1. Chapter 2: Application layer 2.1 Web and HTTP 2.2 FTP Lecture 5 Application Layer 2-1

  2. FTP: the file transfer protocol transfer file to/from remote host client/server model client: side that initiates transfer (either to/from remote) server: remote host ftp: RFC 959 ftp server: port 21 FTP user interface FTP client FTP server file transfer user at host remote file system local file system Lecture 5 Application Layer 2-2

  3. FTP: separate control, data connections FTP client contacts FTP server at port 21 client authorized over control connection client browses remote directory by sending commands over control connection. when server receives file transfer command, server opens 2ndTCP connection (for file) to client after transferring one file, server closes data connection. TCP control connection port 21 TCP data connection port 20 FTP client FTP server Lecture 5 Application Layer 2-3

  4. Chapter 2: Application layer 2.1 Web and HTTP 2.2 FTP 2.3 SMTP Lecture 5 Application Layer 2-4

  5. Three major components: user agents mail servers simple mail transfer protocol: SMTP User Agent a.k.a. “mail reader” composing, editing, reading mail messages e.g., Outlook, Mozilla Thunderbird outgoing, incoming messages stored on server user agent user agent user agent user agent user agent user agent SMTP SMTP SMTP mail server mail server mail server outgoing message queue user mailbox Electronic Mail Lecture 5 Application Layer 2-5

  6. Mail Servers mailbox contains incoming messages for user messagequeue of outgoing (to be sent) mail messages SMTP protocol between mail servers to send email messages client: sending mail server “server”: receiving mail server user agent user agent user agent user agent user agent user agent SMTP SMTP SMTP mail server mail server mail server Electronic Mail: mail servers Lecture 5 Application Layer 2-6

  7. uses TCP to reliably transfer email message from client to server, port 25 direct transfer: sending server to receiving server three phases of transfer handshaking (greeting) transfer of messages closure Electronic Mail: SMTP [RFC 2821] Lecture 5 Application Layer 2-7

  8. 1) Alice uses UA to compose message and “to” bob@someschool.edu 2) Alice’s UA sends message to her mail server; 3) Message placed in message queue 4) Client side of SMTP opens TCP connection with Bob’s mail server 5) SMTP client sends Alice’s message over the TCP connection 6) Bob’s mail server places the message in Bob’s mailbox Bob invokes his user agent to read message user agent user agent mail server mail server Scenario: Alice sends message to Bob 1 2 6 3 4 5 Lecture 5 Application Layer 2-8

  9. SMTP uses persistent connections Comparison with HTTP: HTTP: pull SMTP: push HTTP: each object encapsulated in its own response msg SMTP: multiple objects handled SMTP: comparison with HTTP Lecture 5 Application Layer 2-9

  10. SMTP: delivery/storage to receiver’s server Mail access protocol: retrieval from server POP: Post Office Protocol [RFC 1939] authorization (agent <-->server) and download IMAP: Internet Mail Access Protocol [RFC 1730] more features (more complex) manipulation of stored msgs on server HTTP: gmail, Hotmail, Yahoo! Mail, etc. user agent user agent sender’s mail server SMTP Mail access protocols SMTP access protocol receiver’s mail server Lecture 5 Application Layer 2-10

  11. More about POP3 Previous example uses “download and delete” mode. Bob cannot re-read e-mail if he changes client “Download-and-keep”: copies of messages on different clients POP3 is stateless across sessions IMAP Keep all messages in one place: the server Allows user to organize messages in folders IMAP keeps user state across sessions: names of folders and mappings between message IDs and folder name POP3 and IMAP: Comparison Lecture 5 Application Layer 2-11
