Study Notes
Communications in a Connected World
- A network is a collection of interconnected computers and devices sharing information. Devices rely increasingly on internet connectivity for daily tasks.
- The internet is a collection of interconnected networks, using common standards, owned by no single entity.
- Local networks vary in size from small (SOHO) to large, enabling communication, resource sharing, and internet access.
- Network types include small home networks, SOHO networks, medium to large networks, and worldwide networks.
- Mobile and connected devices, like smartphones, tablets, smartwatches, and smart glasses, connect to the internet.
- Connected home devices, like security systems and smart appliances, can be remotely monitored and configured.
- Other connected devices include smart cars, RFID tags, sensors, actuators, and medical devices, offering valuable information and convenience.
- Data transmission uses bits (binary digits, 0s and 1s).
- Data transmission methods include electrical (copper wires), optical (fiber-optic cables), and wireless (electromagnetic waves).
- Bandwidth is the medium's capacity to carry data, measured in data transfer rates (e.g., Kbps, Mbps, Gbps).
- Throughput is the actual transfer rate of data, influenced by data amount, type, and network latency.
Network Components, Types, and Connections
- Hosts in a network can be clients (requesting information) or servers (providing information).
- Servers use server software to provide information (email, web pages). Clients use client software (e.g., web browsers) to request and display this info.
- Peer-to-Peer (P2P) networks allow computers to act as both clients and servers, ideal for simpler home or small business setups. However, they are less secure and scalable.
- P2P networks are good for file sharing and printer sharing.
- Network Infrastructure comprises end devices (computers, printers, phones) and intermediary devices (routers, switches, wireless access points), and network media (Ethernet, WAN connections, wireless media).
Internet Protocol
- A host requires an IPv4 address to participate in internet and LAN activities.
- IPv4 addresses are 32-bit logical network addresses for identifying individual hosts within a network (e.g., 209.165.200.1) often represented as four octets (8-bit each).
- IPv4 addresses are converted from binary to dotted-decimal format for easier use.
- IPv4 addresses consist of network and host portions.
- A subnet mask defines the network portion of an address (e.g., 255.255.255.0).
- Communication types include unicast (one-to-one), broadcast (one-to-all within a domain), and multicast (one-to-many).
Network Media
- Network media types include metal wires (copper cables), fiber-optic cables, and wireless transmission.
- Copper cables transmit data as electrical impulses, while fiber optics uses light pulses. Wireless uses electromagnetic waves.
- Choosing the right network media considers factors like maximum transmission distance, environmental conditions, data volume, transmission speed, and cost.
Wireless and Mobile Networks
- Wireless network technologies include GSM networks (common cellular), Enhanced Data Networks (3G, 4G, 4G-LTE, 5G), GPS (global positioning), Wi-Fi (local area networking), Bluetooth (short-range device connections), and NFC (near-field communication).
- Mobile devices often connect to Wi-Fi for cellular data and battery conservation. Precautions include avoiding sensitive data transmission in plaintext and using VPNs.
Cloud Concepts Overview
- Cloud computing provides on-demand IT resources via the internet (e.g., pay-as-you-go).
- Traditional computing (hardware-based) differs from cloud computing (software-based) in infrastructure, security, and procurement cycles.
- Cloud computing has several service models: IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service), PaaS (Platform as a Service), and SaaS (Software as a Service).
- Cloud computing has several deployment models, including cloud, hybrid, and on-premises (private cloud).
- Amazon Web Services (AWS) is a secure cloud platform for global IT resources (compute, storage, network, database).
AWS Global Infrastructure Overview
- AWS global infrastructure is designed for flexibility, reliability, and security.
- AWS infrastructure uses regions and availability zones, with multiple availability zones per region to ensure redundancy and reliability in regions.
- Data centers are high-capacity facilities for robust security and data processing.
- AWS edge locations are optimized for the delivery of resources in areas that have lower latency needs.
AWS Cloud Security
- AWS Identity and Access Management (IAM) is a critical service for managing access to AWS resources.
- The shared responsibility model divides security responsibilities between AWS and its customers.
- AWS is responsible for the cloud and customer data and security for their IT/cloud resources.
- IAM comprises users, groups, policies, and roles.
Sustainable Networking
- Sustainable networking involves optimizing networking technology while minimizing its ecological harm.
- Key areas of focus include energy efficiency (using energy-efficient hardware and optimizing network protocols), renewable energy, lifecycle management (considering equipment's entire lifecycle), and green data centers.
- Sustainable networking can lead to reduced operational costs, improved reputation with stakeholders, innovation, and regulatory compliance.
- Sustainable networking is crucial for the digital future.
