Question Answer
1 Select one packet. From this packet,
determine how many fields there are
in the UDP header. Name these fields.
4 fields,
Source Port
Destination Port
Length
Checksum
2 From the packet content field,
determine the length (in bytes) of each
of the UDP header fields.
2 bytes
3 The value in the Length field is the
length of what? Verify your claim
with your captured UDP packet.
Length of the entire packet, i.e. the
length of header plus the length of the
encapsulated data
4 What is the maximum number of bytes
that can be included in a UDP
payload?
65527 bytes
5 What is the largest possible source
port number?
65535 bytes
6 What is the protocol number for UDP?
Give your answer in both hexadecimal
and decimal notation. (To answer this

7 Search UDP in Google and
determine the fields over which the
UDP checksum is calculated.
The IP header, the UDP header, and the
data
8 Examine a pair of UDP packets in
which the first packet is sent by your
host and the second packet is a reply
to the first packet. Describe the
relationship between
the port numbers in the two packets
Source port number of the packet sent by
my host equals the destination port
number of the packet received by my
host. Destination port number of the
packet sent by my host equals the source
port number of the packet received by
my host.
