Study Notes
Chapter 3 - Protocols and Models
- This chapter covers rules of communication, protocols and standards, protocol suites, reference models, data encapsulation, and data access.
- Communication fundamentals require a source (sender), a destination (receiver), and a channel (media).
- Protocols are rules that govern communication, and these rules vary depending on the protocol.
- Different protocols for various communications exist and are distinct.
- Protocols need established rules and agreements to ensure proper human communication.
- Protocols need sender and receiver, common language and grammar, transmission speed and timing, and confirmation and acknowledgment.
- Common computer protocols need agreement on message encoding, formatting/encapsulation, size, timing, and delivery options.
- Encoding converts information into transmittable form, while decoding reverses this process.
- Message formatting and encapsulation involve placing one message format inside another, like a letter inside an envelope.
- Message size breaking involves segmenting long messages into smaller parts for network transmission.
- Message timing handles issues like flow control (transmission rate), response timeout (wait time), and access methods including collision resolution.
- Message delivery methods, including unicast (one-to-one), multicast (one-to-many), and broadcast (one-to-all), are used.
- There is an additional delivery option called anycast for IPv6.
- Network protocols define common communication rules.
3.2 - Protocols
- Network protocols define a common set of rules for network communication.
- Protocols can be implemented in software, hardware, or both, on end devices and intermediary devices.
- Protocols can be categorized by type, like network communication, network security, routing, and service discovery.
3.3 Protocol Suites
- A protocol suite is a group of inter-related protocols working together to perform a communication function.
- Protocol suites are viewed in terms of layers, allowing each layer to depend on the functions of the layers below it.
- The lower layers handle data transfer, while the upper layers focus on the content of the messages.
3.5 Reference Models
- Network models represent network operations and are not actual networks.
- Layered models are used to clarify complex network operations.
- Two layered models exist to illustrate network operations:
- Open System Interconnection (OSI) Reference Model
- TCP/IP Reference Model
3.6 Data Encapsulation
- Encapsulation is adding information to data by each protocol layer.
- Protocol Data Units (PDUs) are the forms data takes at each layer.
- PDUs change names and functions as they pass through the layers.
- The process of segmenting, sequencing and encapsulation makes network communication across differing network links possible.
- Encapsulation starts with adding data and header and proceeds downwards until transmitted through the layer (the bit stream).
3.7 Data Access
- Network and data link layers use addressing to deliver data between source and destination.
- Network layer addresses are for complete packet delivery, while data link layer addresses are for delivery within the same network.
- IP addresses have a network portion and a host portion, identifying network groups and individual devices.
- Devices on the same network share the same network portion of their IP addresses.
- If devices are on different networks, the data link layer is responsible for sending data through the required routers using their MAC addresses to get to the destination network.
- L3 addressing (IP address) remains the same, but L2 addressing (MAC address) changes during transmission.
