At which OSI layer do connection-establishment protocols operate?

Session Layer

Which protocol is used for uploading and downloading files?

FTP

Which layer is responsible for data encryption and compression?

Presentation Layer

What is a characteristic of the TCP/IP protocol suite?

It is an open standard protocol not tied to one vendor.

What OSI layer does NETBIOS operate on?

Session Layer

What is the purpose of the Data Link Layer Process in the vertical communication on the source host?

Creates a new frame and encapsulates the IP packet.

Which protocol is used for emailing?

SMTP

Encapsulation

What is the default protocol for Microsoft, UNIX, and LINUX Operating Systems?

TCP/IP

What is the next version of TCP/IP?

TCP/IP v6

What is the purpose of the Internet Layer Process in the vertical communication on the source host?

Creates an IP packet.

What is the term used to describe the communication between different layers of the OSI model within a single host?

Vertical communication

What is the key requirement for all switches in a network and all routers in an internet?

To follow the same standard.

Study Notes

Networking Protocols

  • HTTP (Hyper Text Transfer Protocol) is used for browsing
  • FTP (File transfer Protocol) is used for downloading/uploading
  • SMTP (Simple Mail transfer Protocol) is used for emailing
  • POP3 (Post office transfers Protocol) is used for emailing
  • Telnet/SSH (secure Shell) is used for remote connection
  • RTP (Real-time Protocol) is used for delivering audio/video over IP networks

OSI Seven Layers

Presentation

  • Data encryption happens at this layer
  • Data creation happens at this layer

Major Networking Protocols

  • TCP/IP is an open standard protocol
  • IPX/SPX is a protocol suite
  • NetBEUI is a protocol suite
  • Apple Talk is a protocol suite

TCP/IP Protocol Suite

  • TCP/IP is not tied to one vendor
  • TCP/IP is the internet protocol
  • The current version is TCP/IP v4
  • The next version is TCP/IP v6
  • TCP/IP is the default protocol for Microsoft Operating Systems, UNIX Operating Systems, and LINUX Operating Systems

OSI Versus TCP/IP

Message Communication in TCP/IP

  • Application layer: HTTP messages are sent
  • Transport layer: TCP messages are sent
  • Internet layer: IP packets are sent
  • Data Link layer: Ethernet frames are sent
  • Physical layer: bits are sent

Vertical Layered Communication

  • All switches in a network and all routers in an internet must follow the same standard
  • Vertical communication happens on the source host

OSI Seven Layers

Session

  • Protocols/API's that operate on this layer include: RPC, SQL, NETBIOS

Encapsulation

  • Encapsulation is the process of placing a message in the data field of another message
  • In the data link layer, an IP packet is encapsulated in a frame, adding a frame header and perhaps a trailer

This quiz covers various protocols and their uses in computer networks, including HTTP, FTP, SMTP, POP3, Telnet/SSH, and RTP. It also touches on the OSI seven-layer model.
