Study Notes
Telecommunication
- Telecommunication refers to communication over a distance.
Data and Data Communication
- Data refers to information presented in a form agreed upon by the parties creating and using the data.
- Data communications involve the exchange of data between two devices through a transmission medium, such as a wire or cable.
Telecommunication and Data Communication
- Telecommunication refers to communication at a distance.
- Data refers to information presented in a agreed upon form.
- Data communication is the exchange of data between two devices via a transmission medium.
Types of Addresses in Networking
- Physical Address (MAC Address)
- A unique identifier assigned to network interfaces for communication on the physical network segment.
- A hardware-based address burned into the Network Interface Card (NIC) during manufacturing.
- Logical Address
- A network address used to uniquely identify a node of a network.
- Assigned by software and can be changed.
- Used at the Network Layer (Layer 3) of the OSI model.
- Special Address
- Refer to specific types of addresses used in networking for special purposes.
- Examples include:
- Broadcast Address
- An address that allows data to be sent to all devices on a specific network segment.
- Other special addresses serving different purposes in networking.
- Broadcast Address
Ethernet Frames
- MAC sublayer is responsible for two key functions: data encapsulation and accessing the media
- Data encapsulation involves the following three components:
- Ethernet frame: the internal structure of the Ethernet frame
- Ethernet addressing: source and destination MAC addresses that facilitate delivery of the Ethernet frame between Ethernet NICs on the same LAN
- Ethernet error detection: a frame check sequence (FCS) trailer used for error detection
