    Study Notes

    Communication Elements

    • All communication methods involve three common elements: source (sender), destination (receiver), and channel (media).
    • Effective communication is governed by protocols, which include identified sender and receiver, common language and grammar, speed/timing of delivery, and acknowledgment requirements.

    Protocols in Network Communications

    • Protocols define message encoding, delivery options (Unicast, Multicast, Broadcast), formatting (identifying sender and receiver), timing (Access Method, Flow Control), and size restrictions leading to message segmentation.
    • Communication messages are initially converted into bits, which are encoded into signals (sounds, light waves, or electrical impulses) suitable for the network medium.

    Message Transmission and Encapsulation

    • Messages are encapsulated in frames which contain addressing information for source and destination, akin to placing a letter in an addressed envelope.
    • Each frame is treated as an individual message unit, with a receiving host responsible for reconstructing the original message from these frames.

    Flow Control and Access Method

    • Hosts employ flow control to avoid overwhelming the recipient and negotiate timing.
    • Collisions must be managed, requiring rules for when to send messages and how to react when they occur.

    Networking Protocols

    • Protocol suites are implemented in software and hardware, featuring layered views where each layer depends on the functionality of the lower layers.
    • Common protocols include:
      • HTTP (web communication)
      • TCP (manages data segments)
      • IP (encapsulates segments into packets)
      • Ethernet (facilitates data transmission over a network).

    Encapsulation Procedure

    • Data sent from a web server to a client follows this procedure:
      • HTML page sent through the HTTP protocol to the transport layer.
      • The transport layer segments the data, adding IP source and destination addresses.
      • Ethernet information is added creating the final data link frame.

    Internet Governance Organizations

    • Internet Society (ISOC): Advocates for open Internet development worldwide.
    • Internet Architecture Board (IAB): Manages and develops Internet standards.
    • Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF): Develops and maintains Internet and TCP/IP technologies.
    • ICANN: Coordinates IP address allocation and domain name management.
    • IANA: Manages IP address allocation and protocol identifiers.
    • IEEE: Focuses on technological innovation and networking standards.
    • ITU-T: Establishes standards for broadband communications and video compression.

    Benefits of Layered Model

    • Streamlines protocol design, allowing each layer to have defined functions.
    • Encourages competition as products from various vendors can interoperate.
    • Prevents changes in one layer from disrupting others.

    TCP/IP Protocol Model

    • Established in the early 1970s as an open standard for internetwork communication.
    • Data streams are divided into smaller segments for transmission, known as multiplexing, facilitating simultaneous conversations.
    • Encapsulation occurs from application layer down to physical layer, with each layer creating a Protocol Data Unit (PDU):
      • Data (application layer)
      • Segment (transport layer)
      • Packet (network layer)
      • Frame (data link layer)
      • Bits (physical layer).

    Encapsulation and De-encapsulation Process

    • Encapsulation goes from data segmentation to adding headers at each layer down to the physical layer.
    • De-encapsulation occurs in reverse order upon reception, removing headers sequentially to retrieve the original data.

    Addressing in Networking

    • Source and destination IP addresses identify the original sender and final receiver.
    • Data link addressing, using MAC addresses, facilitates direct delivery within a local network.
    • Communication to remote networks involves routing through gateways, where new data link information is appended for forwarding.
