Consider that there is a sales person named Mr. Zee in a Grocery store. He sends every day sales
& profit reports on daily basis to Mr. A on e-mail ID “abc@yahoo.com”.
Mr. A
is the Manager in charge sitting in head office situated in other city.
The Network address of computer machine of Mr. Zee
from where he generates the E-mail lies on the network with address 140.57. The e-mail server of the
requested e-mail “abc@yahoo.com” is hosted
at Network No.100.
For routing the data, there are number of Routers
responsible for delivering the data based on IP addressing node to node. There
is a router (R-1) attached to
network 140.57 and Router (R-2) is the gateway router connected
to the network No.100 where
destination computer machine lies.
At the sender side the information will pass downward to the
TCP/IP layered architecture and upward on receiver after being processed by different
protocols on each layer.
Question:
What are the protocols that will be responsible in delivery
of e-mail from the source to destination, and, also clearly elaborate the
functions of the protocol performed downward at sender side and upward at receiver
side on the TCP/IP stack?
