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.
