1. Introduction
TFTP is a short form of trivial file transfer protocol and is a forerunner protocol of FTP (file
transfer protocol). Basic use of TFTP is to transfer information from client to server or vice
versa.
TFTP protocol builds on top of UDP protocol. TFTP utilize functionality of UDP to transferring
information but advantage of TFTP is providing acknowledgement. TFTP has modes namely
octet, netascii and etc. and has operations such as READ, WRITE, DATA, ACKNODGEMENT
and ERROR. TFTP data packet is 512 byte. As described in requirement this project has build
on the bases of TFTP 1350 standard and also has facility of finite state machine.

2. Overview of protocol
In terms of networking there are client and server send request and response to eachother.
This request and response is in the form of read and write for data and acknowledgement.
Below table describe protocol stack of TFTP 1350.

2.3 TFTP Data Flow Diagram
NOTE : Each request has Message size 512 byte including 2 byte for opcode and 2 byte for
block number so if total message size is 1024 byte then Message divided in 2 block and each
block data size is 512 byte.
File Size 1024 byte

4 Byte TFTP Channel
After dividing File size in block its goes to TFTP channel
where it gets 4 more byte so each block has contain 516
byte of data

3 TFTP Finite State Machine
Finite state machine is useful to describe interactive network application. FSM describe TFTP
states more preciously it has 6 tuple:
FSM = <S, E, A, F, g, q0>
Where S, E and A are finite sets of states, events and actions. Respectively q0 is a initial
state of FSM.

State INIT is belongs to the User Interface it is not a part of FSM.

Figure 3.1 TFTP FSM State diagram
10. IP and Applications – Project Implementation of a TFTP Client
As described in state diagram TFTP has two main states called Read and Write (Get and Put).
It follows with connection to the server which accepts first packet in the form of Opcode,
filename and mode. After establish connection with server client start sending data and
receiving acknowledgement from the server in the form of read and write packet.
3.2 FSM Infinite Loop
FSM has infinite loop to receive and send acknowledge and data from client to server.
do {
if (lastpacketprocess) {
dataprocess = false;
lastpacket = true;
}
if (!lastpacketprocess) {
// encode block number
encodeIntoTwoByete(blocknumber, spaceData,
OPCODE_SIZE);
// create data and reply UDP packet
dataPacket = new DatagramPacket( spaceData,
spaceData.length,
this.serverIpAddress, serverPortNum);
replyACK = new DatagramPacket( spaceAck,
spaceAck.length);
// send and receive data and acknowledgement
connection.dataSendRCV(dataPacket, replyACK);
filelength = filelength - onepacket;
blocknumber++;
readnumbyte = readnumbyte + 512;
// if not receive expected block number or opcode. resend
// packet again
while (!((checkAction(replyACK.getData(),blocknumber,
OPCODE_SIZE)) | (checkAction(replyACK.getData(), TFTP_ACK,
0))))
{
connection.dataSendRCV(dataPacket, replyACK);
}
if (filelength <= 512) {
lastpacketprocess = true;
}
}
// if final packet available send it and exit from loop
if (lastpacket) {
byte[] lastdata = new byte[ MESSAGE_HEADER_LENGTH
+ filelength];
dataPacket = new DatagramPacket(lastdata,lastdata.length,
this.serverIpAddress, serverPortNum);
replyACK = new DatagramPacket( spaceAck, paceAck.length);
connection.dataSendRCV(dataPacket, replyACK);
}
} while (dataprocess);

Above source code describe how infinite loop passes data and acknowledgement to the
server and in reply server provides a appropriate result to the client.

TFTP Main : This class belongs to User interface. This class calls the state classes.
TFTP Sate: This is a super class for the states. It generates socket and inetaddress of the
server
Write_Request : This class inherits from the TFTP_State class and perfoms the write
request.
Read_Request: This class is state class of TFTP_State it also inherited. This class perfoms
the read request.
Connection: This class make connection between Client and Server and get first packet
from the server in the form of acknowledgement or data.
Data_ACK_Send_Receive: This class responsible to gather data and its
acknowledgement from the server or receive and send bunch of data packet or
acknowledgement packet.
