    Study Notes

    Transport Layer

    • Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) and User Datagram Protocol (UDP) are protocols used in the Transport Layer.

    Transport Layer Addressing (Port Numbers)

    • Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) controls port numbers.
    • Well-Known ports: ranges from 0 to 1,023 and are assigned and controlled by ICANN.
    • Registered ports: ranges from 1,024 to 49,151, are not assigned or controlled by ICANN, but can be registered to avoid duplication.
    • Dynamic ports: ranges from 49,152 to 65,535, are neither controlled nor registered.

    Application Layer

    • Communication between processes or applications occurs in the Application Layer.
    • Examples of internet services:
      • World Wide Web: HTTP
      • Naming Service: DNS
      • File Transfer: FTP
      • Telnet Service
      • Electronic Mail service: IMAP, POP3, SMTP

    URL (Universal Resource Locator)

    • Consists of Protocol (HTTP, HTTPS, or FTP), Host (domain name of the computer), Port (optional), and Path (pathname of the file).

    HTTP (Hyper Text Transfer Protocol)

    • Supports the delivery of web pages to the client.

    DNS (Domain Name Servers)

    • Translates human-readable names into IP addresses.
    • Process of getting a website:
      • Check the cache
      • Check the hosts file
      • Ask DNS server

    FTP (File Transfer Protocol)

    • Provides reliable data transfer between hosts.
    • FTP Clients:
      • Internet Browser
      • MS Windows built-in FTP client
      • Third-party programs (e.g., Cute FTP)

    Telnet/SSH or RDP

    • Telnet/SSH is a user command and an underlying TCP/IP protocol for accessing remote computers.
    • Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) is a Microsoft proprietary protocol for remote connections to other computers.

    Mail Server and Clients

    • Mail Clients:
      • Web-based: Hotmail, Gmail
      • Non-web-based: Microsoft Outlook
    • Mail Protocols:
      • SMTP (send mail transfer Protocol)
      • POP3 (Post Office Protocol version 3)
      • IMAP4 (Internet Message Access Protocol version 4)

    Internet of Things (IOT)

    • Aims to connect devices to the existing internet infrastructure, enabling "things" to sense and collect data and send it to the internet.
    • Examples of devices: coffee maker, air conditioner, washing machine, ceiling fan, lights, etc.
    • Practical applications:
      • Smart Homes
      • Smart Cities
      • Energy
      • Environment monitoring
      • Healthcare management
