Study Notes

Introduction to Computer Networks & Cyber Security

Building a network requires hardware (devices like computers, printers, phones, routers, and switches) and medium (wired, wireless, satellites) as well as software (messages like emails, WhatsApp, etc. and protocols like http, https, FTP, RDP).
Protocols are communication rules that all entities must agree on, and they are the method to connect internetworking elements.
Protocols are needed to communicate efficiently, enable data flow from one NIC to another, and control the messages and quantity in the network.
Host to host communication can be in an older model with proprietary applications and combinations software controlled by one vendor, or in a standard-based model with multivendor software and layered applications.
