Wireshark D4 V4 - IPv4 Deep Dive

The video tutorial provides an in-depth explanation of Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4), covering its role in delivering data packets, routing, and addressing. It details the structure of an IP Datagram, including the IP header and its various fields such as version, header length, type of service, total length, identification, flags, fragment offset, time to live (TTL), protocol, checksum, source and destination IP addresses, and options. The tutorial also demonstrates how to use Wireshark to analyze these fields and explains the significance of each field in the context of data transmission.

What is the primary responsibility of IPv4?

• To manage user authentication

• To establish a connection between devices

• To deliver data packets from source to destination

• To encrypt data packets

How is the total length of an IPv4 datagram calculated?

• Header length plus payload length

• Header length times 4 bytes

• Payload length minus header length

• Header length divided by payload length

What does the DF bit in IPv4 flags indicate when set to 1?

• Permission to fragment the datagram

• No permission to fragment the datagram

• The datagram is the last fragment

• The datagram is the first fragment

What is the purpose of the TTL field in IPv4?

• To calculate the checksum

• To identify the source of the datagram

• To specify the maximum number of hops a datagram can take

• To determine the data encryption level

Which protocol is indicated by a value of 17 in the protocol field?

• TCP

• ICMP

• IGMP

• UDP

What is the role of the header checksum in IPv4?

• To determine the data's destination

• To check for errors in the header

• To manage data fragmentation

• To encrypt the data

What is the maximum size of the options field in an IPv4 header?

• 20 bytes

• 40 bytes

• 80 bytes

• 60 bytes
