    Study Notes

    Rules of Communication

    • Communication involves a source, destination, and a channel, all governed by rules or protocols.
    • Protocols ensure effective communication by identifying the sender and receiver, establishing a common language, defining delivery speed and timing, and outlining confirmation or acknowledgment requirements.
    • Protocols also define message encoding, delivery options (unicast, multicast, broadcast), formatting, encapsulation, timing, and size restrictions.

    Message Encoding

    • Encoding converts information into a format suitable for transmission.
    • Sending hosts convert messages into bits.
    • Encoding can involve sounds, light waves, or electrical impulses, depending on the network medium.
    • The destination host then decodes and interprets the message received.

    Message Formatting and Encapsulation

    • Messages are encapsulated into specific formats called 'frames' before being sent over the network.
    • Frames act like envelopes, containing destination and source addresses.

    Message Size

    • Long messages are broken into smaller pieces called 'frames' to be sent individually across a network, each with its own addressing information.
    • The receiving host reconstructs the original message from the multiple frames.

    Message Timing

    • Access Method: Hosts need rules to determine when they can send messages and how to handle collisions.
    • Flow Control: Source and destination hosts use flow control to ensure appropriate timing, preventing data overload and guaranteeing successful delivery.
    • Response Timeout: Network protocols define how long hosts wait for responses and the actions taken if a timeout occurs.

    Message Delivery Options

    • Unicast: One-to-one delivery.
    • Multicast: One-to-many delivery.
    • Broadcast: One-to-all delivery.

    Network Protocols and Standards

    • Protocol suites, implemented in software, hardware, or both, govern communications between devices.
    • Network protocols define common formats and rules for exchanging messages, examples include HTTP, TCP, and IP.

    Protocol Interaction

    • Communication between a web server and web client involves multiple protocols working together, including HTTP, TCP, IP, and Ethernet.

    TCP/IP Protocol Suite

    • This suite is widely used for internet communications.
    • It comprises four layers: Application, Transport, Internet, and Network Access.

    Standards Organizations

    • Organizations like ISO, ITU-T, and IETF create and manage networking standards.
    • Standards ensure interoperability between different devices and networks.

    Reference Models

    • Layered models provide a framework for protocol design, fostering competition and preventing technology changes in one layer from affecting others.

    OSI Reference Model

    • This model features seven layers: Application, Presentation, Session, Transport, Network, Data Link, and Physical.

    TCP/IP Protocol Model

    • This model, also known as the Internet Model, has four layers: Application, Transport, Internet, and Network Access.

    OSI and TCP/IP Model Comparison

    • The OSI model incorporates the TCP/IP model, but with some additional layers for specific functions.

    Data Transfer

    • Data is encapsulated into frames for transmission across a network.
    • Devices on the same network communicate directly using MAC addresses.
    • Devices on different networks communicate through a default gateway or router, which handles addressing and forwarding.
    • When forwarded, the data is encapsulated within a new data link frame by each router.
    • Network addresses (IP addresses) indicate source and destination networks.
    • Local hosts access local resources using network and MAC addresses.
    • Data is sent to the default gateway for access to remote networks.
