Master Networking

• Coaxial cable is used to connect computers to networks, with different types available for different purposes.
• Fiber optic cable is not affected by EMI or RFI and has two types: multimode and single-mode.
• TCP/IP is a set of rules for computer communication, divided into 4 layers.
• Other internet protocols include SMTP, PPP, FTP, SFTP, HTTP, HTTPS, TELNET, POP3, IPv4, IPv6, ICMP, and UDP.
• SMTP is used for outgoing emails, PPP creates direct connections, FTP transfers files, and SFTP encrypts data.
• HTTP transfers hypertexts and HTTPS adds encryption and authentication.
• TELNET allows for virtual terminal service, POP3 retrieves emails, and IPv4 and IPv6 identify devices on the internet.
• ICMP sends error messages and operational information, while UDP is used for real-time applications with low latency requirements.
• IPv6 has enhanced security features and is gradually replacing IPv4.
• ICMP can be used in network attacks like DDoS amplification.
