Study Notes
Networking Fundamentals
- Each frame has its own addressing information, and at the receiving host, individual pieces of the message are reconstructed into the original message.
Message Timing
- Messaging timing is crucial in network communications and includes:
- Managing the rate of data transmission
- Flow control: defining how much information can be sent and the speed at which it can be delivered
- Response timeout: managing how long a device waits when it does not hear a reply from the destination
Message Delivery Options
- Message delivery methods include:
- Unicast: one-to-one communication
- Multicast: one-to-many, typically not all
- Broadcast: one-to-all (used in IPv4 networks, not an option for IPv6)
- Anycast: an additional delivery option for IPv6
Network Protocols
- Network protocols define common formats and sets of rules for exchanging messages between devices
- Protocols have three primary functions:
- Addressing: identifying sender and receiver
- Reliability: providing guaranteed delivery
- Flow control: ensuring data flows at an efficient rate
- Protocol examples include:
- TCP/IP
- IPv4 and IPv6
Data Encapsulation
- Data encapsulation is the process of adding headers and trailers to data as it passes through the OSI model
- The process of adding headers and trailers is called encapsulation, and removing them is called de-encapsulation
- PDUs (Protocol Data Units) are the data packets at each layer of the OSI model, with different names at each layer
Data Access
- Data access involves addressing and accessing data across networks
- Addresses can be:
- Logical (IP addresses)
- Physical (MAC addresses)
- Data access involves both network and data link layers
Standards Organizations
- Internet Society (ISOC): promotes open development and evolution of the internet
- Internet Architecture Board (IAB): responsible for management and development of internet standards
- Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF): develops, updates, and maintains internet and TCP/IP technologies
- Internet Research Task Force (IRTF): focused on long-term research related to internet and TCP/IP protocols
- Other organizations involved in developing standards include IEEE, EIA, TIA, and ITU-T
