Study Notes

Internet Standards and Organizations

The Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) is responsible for developing Internet standards.
The ITU-T (International Telecommunications Union - Telecom Group) is based in Geneva, Switzerland.

Network Fundamentals

The application layer is responsible for HTTP and HTML (Web) standards.
Pervasive Networking refers to the integration of networking into daily life.
Broadband communication involves high-speed data transmission over high-bandwidth channels.

Networking Evolution

The Industrial Revolution introduced computers and networking, changing the way people worked.
The Technological Revolution collapsed the information lag and brought people together, leading to globalization.
The Information Age saw the growth of telecommunications and computer networks, enabling rapid transmission of large quantities of information.

Network Models and Architecture

Wide Area Networks (WANs) connect LANs and BNs across different locations.
Intranets are private networks for organization use, while Extranets are extended intranets for partners or customers.
The OSI 7-Layer Model and the Internet's 5-Layer Model are network models developed to solve internetworking problems.

Network Layers and Standards

The transport layer is responsible for establishing end-to-end connections and translating domain names into numeric addresses according to the Internet's 5-Layer Model.
The network layer is responsible for making routing decisions according to the 7-Layer Model of OSI.
Layered network models allow for flexibility and ease of modification in networking.

Standards and Standardization

Standards provide interoperability and consistency in data communication interfaces.
Formal standards are developed by organizations, while 'de-facto' standards emerge in the marketplace through widespread adoption.
A specification in standardization processes involves detailed descriptions of requirements and characteristics.
The OSI 7-Layer Model is the framework for computer network standards created by the International Standards Organization (ISO).
Metropolitan Area Networks (MANs) use fiber optics to transmit data across different locations.
