Study Notes

HTTP Transmission

  • HTTP Get Request involves sending a request with the file name in the HTTP header.
  • HTTP Reply includes a status code (200 for success or 404 for not found) and part of the requested file.
  • Data can be sent in multiple segments without HTTP headers, each containing parts of the file.

Transport Layer Protocols

  • Key protocols in the Transport layer are Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) and User Datagram Protocol (UDP).
  • These protocols provide services to application layer protocols in the TCP/IP model.
  • Error recovery is vital for reliable data delivery in transport layer protocols.

TCP Error Recovery

  • TCP incorporates a mechanism for ensuring data delivery across networks.
  • It utilizes an acknowledgment system to confirm received data.

Network Layer Protocols

  • The core protocol in the Network Layer is Internet Protocol (IP), focusing on addressing and routing data.
  • Each device on a network is assigned a unique IP address to facilitate communication.
  • IP packets are forwarded from one device to another, utilizing routers for routing.

IP Routing Process

  • Data packets are sent from a device to a nearby router, which evaluates the destination address.
  • Routers in the path forward packets to the next router based on their IP address evaluation.

Layered Networking Model

  • The networking model facilitates data movement between devices, governed by rules and standards.
  • TCP/IP is the predominant model in use today, emphasizing protocol adherence.
  • The Physical layer oversees cabling and signal transmission, while the Data Link layer governs rules for data transfer.
  • Common protocols at the Data Link layer include Ethernet and 802.11.

Data Encapsulation

  • Encapsulation involves wrapping data with headers and trailers across various layers.
  • Terminology:
    • Segment: Transport Layer
    • Packet: Network Layer
    • Frame: Link Layer

OSI Networking Model

  • The OSI model, though foundational, is less widely used than TCP/IP.
  • The OSI model's Application layer is referred to as “Layer 7”.

Key Learning Objectives

  • Understand networking concepts and enterprise network perspectives.
  • Explain basics of TCP/IP model and functionalities of different layers.
  • Distinguish between OSI and TCP/IP models, including data encapsulation terminology.
