Solution To Wireshark Lab: UDP

This document provides a solution to a Wireshark lab on UDP. It answers questions about the UDP header fields like source port, destination port, length, and checksum. It describes that the UDP header is 8 bytes long with each field being 2 bytes. It also discusses the relationship between source and destination ports in a UDP request and response pair of packets.

Fig. 1: UDP Header Fields

1. Select one packet. From this packet, determine how many fields there are in the UDP header. (Do
not look in the textbook! Answer these questions directly from what you observe in the packet
trace.) Name these fields.
The UDP header contains 4 fields: source port, destination port, length, and checksum.
2. From the packet content field, determine the length (in bytes) of each of the UDP header fields.
Each of the UDP header fields is 2 bytes long.
3. The value in the Length field is the length of what? Verify your claim with your captured UDP
packet.
The
value in the length field is the sum of the 8 header bytes, plus the 42 encapsulated data
bytes.

4. What is the maximum number of bytes that can be included in a UDP payload.
The maximum number of bytes that can be included in a UDP payload is 2 16 1 less the head
bytes. This gives 65535 8 = 65527 bytes.
5. What

number?

is 2 16 1 = 65535.

6. What is the protocol number for UDP? Give your answer in both hexadecimal and decimal
notation. (To answer this question, youll need to look into the IP header.)
The IP protocol number for UDP is 0x11 hex, which is 17 in decimal value.

7. Search UDP in Google and determine the fields over which the UDP checksum is calculated.
The UDP checksum is calculated as the 16-bit ones complement of the ones complement sum
of a pseudo header of information from the IP header, the UDP header, and the data. This is
padded as needed with zero bytes at the end to make a multiple of two bytes. If the checksum i
computed to be 0, it must be set to 0xFFFF

8. Examine a pair of UDP packets in which the first packet is sent by your host and the second packe
is a reply to the first packet. Describe the relationship between the port numbers in the two packet

Extra Credit
Capture a small UDP packet. Manually verify the checksum in this packet. Show all work and explain all steps.
