Study Notes
Data Transmission on WAN
- WAN (Wide Area Network) is a network that extends over a large geographical area, connecting intranets or the internet.
- TCP/IP protocol is the set of network protocols that form the internet protocol suite, referring to both the global wide area network and the protocols.
- TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) is responsible for reliable end-to-end delivery of data segments.
- TCP operates at the Transport layer of the OSI model.
- Segments are acknowledged by the destination to the source upon receipt, and a sliding window is used.
- Data is broken into numbered segments (sequenced) during transmission.
- Destination TCP layers re-sequence the received segments for proper order.
- Lost data is re-requested by the destination.
- Segments are checked for integrity (32 Bit CRC).
- Source/Destination port numbers redirect data to the upper-level services.
- TCP headers have specific fields (source port, destination port, sequence number, acknowledgement number, offset, flags, window, urgent pointer, checksum, options, and padding, data).
User Datagram Protocol (UDP)
- UDP (User Datagram Protocol) is a connectionless host-to-host service.
- Error correction and reliable service aren't guaranteed.
- Primarily used for DNS and TFTP.
- UDP headers include source port, destination port, length, and checksum fields.
- UDP adds port addressing to the IP header, addressing the datagram to the correct application on the host.
IP Communication
- IP Datagram (packet) is a chunk of IP data with a defined structure (version, IHL, TOS, total length, identification, flags, fragment offset, TTL, protocol, header checksum, source and destination IP addresses, options, and payload).
- Source and destination IP addresses are crucial for determining the destination of the IP datagram.
- IP routing is vital for data transmission through a network, directing packets via intermediary networks toward their destination.
- Different IP addressing methods (Classful and Classless) and concepts of subnetting and supernetting are available.
- Subnetting allows borrowing bits and breaking up large networks into smaller, more manageable subnets.
IP Addresses
- Every device connected to the internet has a unique IP address (e.g., 204.25.183.4).
- IP addresses are used to identify computers and other devices on a network.
- IP addresses consist of four numbers (each from 0 to 255) separated by periods.
- Network and host portions of IP addresses identify the network and device respectively.
- Classes of IP addresses divide the address space into ranges (e.g., Class A, Class B, Class C).
Special IP Addresses
- Network addresses (all host bits are 0): used for network communication.
- Broadcast addresses (all host bits are 1): used for sending to all devices on a network.
- Loopback address (127.0.0.1): used for testing the local network interface.
- Private addresses (e.g., 10.0.0.0/8, 172.16.0.0/12, 192.168.0.0/16): used within private networks.
- Multicast addresses (Class D): used for one-to-many communication.
Routing Methods (Static and Dynamic)
- Static routing involves manually configuring routes using commands on each device.
- Dynamic routing uses protocols to discover and update routes automatically in response to changes in the network infrastructure.
- Examples of dynamic routing protocols include RIP, OSPF, BGP, etc.
- Choice of static or dynamic routing depends on network size and stability.
Routing Protocols
- RIP (Routing Information Protocol): A distance-vector protocol that uses hop count as a routing metric.
- OSPF (Open Shortest Path First): A link-state protocol that computes the shortest paths efficiently.
- BGP (Border Gateway Protocol): Used for routing between autonomous systems across the Internet.
WAN Devices and Concepts
- Routers are communication devices connecting multiple networks.
