Study Notes
Internet Addressing
- Purpose:
- Uniquely identify devices for communication
- Enable efficient data packet routing
- Facilitate network expansion and management
Internet Addressing Schemes
-
IP Addressing:
- IPv4 (Internet Protocol version 4):
- 32-bit format, represented as four decimal numbers (e.g., 192.168.1.1)
- Approximately 4.3 billion unique addresses, becoming exhausted due to the growth of internet-connected devices
- IPv6 (Internet Protocol version 6):
- 128-bit format, represented as eight groups of four hexadecimal digits (e.g., 2001:0db8:85a3:0000:0000:8a2e:0370:7334)
- Vastly increased address space (approximately 340 undecillion addresses)
- Improved routing efficiency and enhanced security features
- IPv4 (Internet Protocol version 4):
-
MAC Addressing:
- Unique identifiers assigned to network interfaces for communication at the data link layer
- Format: 48-bit hexadecimal numbers (e.g., 00:1A:2B:3C:4D:5E)
- Used for device identification within local networks, independent of IP addressing
-
Domain Name System (DNS):
- Translates human-readable domain names (e.g., www.example.com) into IP addresses
- Provides a hierarchical structure for addressing, making it easy for users to remember and navigate websites
- Purpose: Exchange digital messages over the internet, including text, attachments, images, etc.
Email Protocols
- SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol):
- Sends emails from a client to a server or between servers
- POP3 (Post Office Protocol version 3):
- Downloads emails from a server to a client
- IMAP (Internet Message Access Protocol):
- Accesses emails on a server from multiple clients, keeping them synchronized
Email Sections
- To: The recipient's email address
- From: The sender's email address
- Subject: A brief summary of the email's content
- Body: The main content of the email
- Attachments: Files attached to the email
- CC (Carbon Copy): Copies the email to additional recipients
- BCC (Blind Carbon Copy): Copies the email to additional recipients without disclosing their addresses to other recipients
