    Study Notes

    Network Fundamentals

    • Network devices: repeaters, bridges, routers (all of the mentioned)

    Network Layer Functions

    • Congestion control is optional
    • Forwarding is a required function
    • Routing is a required function

    Transparent Bridge Functions

    • Learns where stations are attached to the LAN
    • Forwards frames from one LAN to another
    • Prevents loops in the topology (all of the mentioned)

    IP Network Layer Services

    • Offers best-effort connectionless service
    • Does not offer connection-oriented reliable stream service or connection-oriented transfer of packets with delay guarantee

    Network Layer Complexity

    • Reasons for complexity: addressing and routing challenges, requiring coordinated actions of multiple, geographically distributed network elements

    End-to-End Functions

    • Best implemented at a lower level than at a higher level (True)

    Essential Network Functions

    • Link layer is an essential network function

    OSI Model and TCP/IP Model

    • In OSI model, the 5th layer to receive data is the Session layer
    • In TCP/IP model, the 5th layer to receive data is the Application layer

    Application Layer

    • Implemented in end systems
    • Provides the interface between applications and the network
    • Enables users to send and receive data across shared or public networks

    Transport Layer

    • Implemented in end systems
    • Handles process-to-process delivery of packets through ports
