Study Notes
Computer Networks - Chapter 4: Network Layer
- The network layer, or OSI Layer 3, provides services for devices to exchange data across a network
- It has four key functions: addressing end devices, routing, encapsulation and decapsulation
- Common network layer protocols include IP version 4 (IPv4) and IP version 6 (IPv6)
- Legacy protocols include AppleTalk, Novell Internetwork Packet Exchange (IPX), and Connectionless Network Service (CLNS/DECNet)
- Routing protocols include RIP, OSPF, IGRP, EIGRP, and BGP
IPv4 Protocol and Addressing
- IPv4 is a connectionless datagram protocol, providing best-effort service, meaning no error or flow control
- If reliability is needed, IPv4 must be paired with a reliable protocol such as TCP
- It uses the datagram approach, where each datagram is handled independently, and routes may differ
- IPv4 addresses are 32-bit logical addresses that uniquely identify a device
- An IPv4 address space holds 2³² addresses (4,294,967,296)
IPv4 Address Representation
- IPv4 addresses can be represented in binary or dotted-decimal notation
- Binary notation uses 32 bits, while dotted-decimal notation uses decimal numbers separated by periods (e.g., 192.168.1.1)
IPv4 Address Classes
- IPv4 addresses are divided into five classes (A, B, C, D, E) to allocate addresses
- Classes A, B, and C are used for unicast communication
IPv4 Subnet Mask
- A subnet mask is a 32-bit binary pattern used to differentiate between network and host portions of an IP address
- It does not store network or host information; it simply indicates where to find it within the IP address
- Classful addressing, such as specifying class A, B, or C, along with mask /8, /16, or /24 tells how many bits of an address are for network identification and how many are for host
IPv4 Unicast, Multicast, and Broadcast Transmissions
- Unicast: Data transmission from one host to a single destination host
- Broadcast: Data transmission from one host to all hosts in the network
- Multicast: Data transmission from one host to a group of hosts (possible on different networks).
IPv4 Protocol Encapsulation
- The IPv4 header is encapsulated within a packet to carry data across a network
- This header contains fields for version, header length, service type, total length, fragmentation offset, time to live, protocol, source and destination IP address, options, and checksum
IPv6 Protocol and Addressing
- IPv6 was developed as a solution to IPv4's address depletion problem and other limitations
- IPv6 uses a 128-bit address space, offering a vastly larger number of possible addresses
- IPv6 addresses are represented as a string of hexadecimal values separated by colons (e.g., 2001:0DB8:0000:1111:0000:0000:0000:0200)
- Leading zeros and groups of consecutive zeros can be abbreviated, reducing the length of the representation
- IPv6 uses prefixes to define network portions of addresses, differing from IPv4's classful addressing
