Study Notes
The Internet
- The Internet is a transformative communication system impacting business and leisure.
- It organizes vast amounts of information for user access.
- Key milestones include the establishment of ARPANET in 1967, and the first TCP implementation in 1972.
Hierarchical Organization of the Internet
- The Internet has a structured organization that facilitates its operation and connectivity.
Protocols and Standards
- Protocol: A set of rules for data transmission enabling communication between diverse devices.
- Standards: Established documents that ensure device and software compatibility and functionality.
- Types of Standards:
- De facto (by fact) not formally approved
- De jure (by law) officially recognized
Key Elements of a Protocol
- Syntax: Defines the data format and signal levels.
- Semantics: Encodes meaning and manages error control information.
- Timing: Concerns data transmission speed and sequencing.
Standards Organizations
- Major bodies include:
- International Organization for Standardization (ISO)
- International Telecommunication Union (ITU-T)
- American National Standards Institute (ANSI)
- Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE)
- Electronic Industries Association (EIA)
OSI Model
- Developed by ISO in 1947, with the OSI model introduced in the late 1970s.
- Comprises seven layers:
- Application, Presentation, Session, Transport, Network, Data Link, Physical.
- Each layer provides services to the layer above and relies on the one below, allowing independent changes without affecting others.
Physical Layer
- Responsible for transmitting individual bits between nodes.
- Key functions include:
- Physical characteristics of interfaces
- Data representation and rate
- Configurations (point-to-point or multipoint)
- Topologies (mesh, star, ring, bus)
- Transmission modes (simplex, half-duplex, duplex)
Data Link Layer
- Facilitates movement of frames between nodes.
- Functions include:
- Framing and physical addressing
- Flow and error control
- Access control ensuring security.
Addressing in TCP/IP
- Four address levels: physical, logical, port, and specific.
Error Control in Data Link Layer
- Involves detecting and correcting lost or corrupted data frames during transmission.
- Ensures the sender is notified of transmission issues to re-send frames as necessary.
Flow Control & Access Control
- Flow Control: Regulates the data transmission rate between nodes to prevent data overflow.
- Access Control: Governs user access to data and resources through authentication and authorization processes.
Hop-to-Hop Delivery
- Refers to the transmission of frames between physical addresses on linked nodes, enabling efficient data transfer at the data link level.
