    Study Notes

    Protocolos De Comunicación

    • Definición: Conjunto de reglas y estándares que permiten la comunicación entre dispositivos en una red.
    • Ejemplos Comunes:
      • TCP/IP: Protocolo fundamental para la transmisión de datos en Internet; asegura la entrega correcta de paquetes.
      • HTTP/HTTPS: Protocolo para la transferencia de hipertexto; HTTPS incluye una capa de seguridad (SSL/TLS).
      • FTP: Protocolo para la transferencia de archivos entre un cliente y un servidor.
      • SMTP: Protocolo para el envío de correos electrónicos.
    • Funciones:
      • Control de errores.
      • Control de flujo.
      • Establecimiento y cierre de conexiones.

    Tipos De Redes

    • Redes de Área Local (LAN):

      • Conexión de dispositivos en un área geográfica limitada, como una oficina o un edificio.
      • Alta velocidad de transferencia de datos.
    • Redes de Área Amplia (WAN):

      • Conexión de redes LAN a través de distancias geográficas grandes.
      • Menor velocidad en comparación con LAN; ej. Internet.
    • Redes Metropolitanas (MAN):

      • Cobertura de una ciudad o una gran área metropolitana.
      • Combina características de LAN y WAN.
    • Redes Inalámbricas (WLAN):

      • Conexión de dispositivos sin cables mediante tecnologías como Wi-Fi.
      • Flexibilidad y movilidad.

    Transmisión De Datos

    • Modos de Transmisión:

      • Simplex: Comunicación unidireccional (ej. teclados).
      • Half-Duplex: Comunicación bidireccional alternada (ej. walkie-talkies).
      • Full-Duplex: Comunicación bidireccional simultánea (ej. teléfonos).
    • Técnicas de Modulación:

      • AM (Amplitud Modulada) y FM (Frecuencia Modulada) para transmisiones analógicas.
      • QAM (Modulación de Amplitud en Cuadratura) para transmisiones digitales.
    • Velocidad de Transmisión:

      • Medida en bits por segundo (bps).
      • Factores que afectan la velocidad: ancho de banda, interferencias y distancia.

    Componentes De Hardware De Comunicación

    • Modem:

      • Convierte señales digitales a analógicas y viceversa para la transmisión a través de líneas telefónicas.
    • Routers:

      • Direccionan paquetes de datos entre diferentes redes; permiten la interconexión a Internet.
    • Switches:

      • Conectan múltiples dispositivos dentro de una LAN y manejan la transferencia de datos de manera eficiente.
    • Puntos de Acceso (Access Points):

      • Extienden redes inalámbricas permitiendo conexiones de dispositivos móviles.
    • Tarjetas de Red:

      • Dispositivos que permiten a un ordenador o dispositivo conectarse a una red; pueden ser inalámbricas o por cable.

    Communication Protocols

    • Defined as a set of rules and standards facilitating communication between devices in a network.
    • Common Examples:
      • TCP/IP: Essential protocol for data transmission over the Internet, ensuring accurate delivery of data packets.
      • HTTP/HTTPS: Protocol for transferring hypertext; HTTPS adds a security layer through SSL/TLS.
      • FTP: Protocol designed for file transfer between client and server.
      • SMTP: Protocol utilized for sending emails.
    • Functions:
      • Error control to ensure data integrity.
      • Flow control for managing data transmission rates.
      • Establishing and closing connections efficiently.

    Types of Networks

    • Local Area Networks (LAN):
      • Connects devices within a limited geographic area, like a single office or building.
      • Characterized by high data transfer speeds.
    • Wide Area Networks (WAN):
      • Interconnects multiple LANs over large geographic distances.
      • Offers lower speeds compared to LANs, e.g., the Internet.
    • Metropolitan Area Networks (MAN):
      • Covers a city or large metropolitan area.
      • Combines features of both LAN and WAN.
    • Wireless Local Area Networks (WLAN):
      • Connects devices wirelessly, using technologies such as Wi-Fi.
      • Provides flexibility and mobility for device connectivity.

    Data Transmission

    • Transmission Modes:
      • Simplex: One-way communication, as seen in keyboards.
      • Half-Duplex: Alternate two-way communication, exemplified by walkie-talkies.
      • Full-Duplex: Simultaneous two-way communication, for example, in telephones.
    • Modulation Techniques:
      • AM (Amplitude Modulation) and FM (Frequency Modulation) used for analog transmissions.
      • QAM (Quadrature Amplitude Modulation) employed for digital transmissions.
    • Transmission Speed:
      • Measured in bits per second (bps).
      • Influencing factors include bandwidth, interference, and distance.

    Hardware Components for Communication

    • Modem:
      • Converts digital signals to analog for transmission over telephone lines, and vice versa.
    • Routers:
      • Direct data packets between different networks, enabling Internet connectivity.
    • Switches:
      • Connect multiple devices within a LAN, efficiently managing data transfers.
    • Access Points:
      • Extend wireless networks, allowing connections for mobile devices.
    • Network Interface Cards (NIC):
      • Devices enabling computers or other devices to connect to a network, available in wired or wireless forms.
