Study Notes
Network Data Transmission
- Network communication is analogous to sending a package by truck.
- The network is essentially the road.
- Internet Protocol (IP) is the truck.
- Data is the content within the truck.
- IP doesn't know the contents of the data.
- Data segments are encapsulated within different protocols (e.g., like boxes within a truck).
- Ethernet frames contain headers and trailers.
- Inside the ethernet frame is the IP packet.
- Within the IP packet are TCP/UDP packets.
- TCP and UDP are the protocols that move data across the network.
TCP and UDP
-
TCP (Transmission Control Protocol):
- Connection-oriented protocol: Establishes a connection before transferring data and ends the connection after the transfer.
- Reliable delivery: Ensures data was sent and received correctly, including mechanisms for reordering, retransmission, and flow control.
- Multiplexing: Allows many applications to send data simultaneously.
-
UDP (User Datagram Protocol):
- Connectionless protocol: No connection setup or teardown.
- Unreliable delivery: No guarantee of data arrival.
- Simple transaction: Very efficient for many real-time data types.
- Suitable for situations where real-time communication is paramount and retransmissions are not crucial.
-
TCP is better suited for file transfers, while UDP is better for real-time data.
Encapsulation and Port Numbers
-
Data is encapsulated within different layers.
-
Data moves within IP packets into TCP or UDP packets depending on the application.
-
Port numbers indicate the application destination. - Each application on a server has a dedicated port number to receive data.
-
Port numbers:
- Well-known, non-ephemeral ports: Commonly used and fixed (e.g., HTTP - 80, HTTPS - 443).
- Ephemeral ports: Temporary, dynamically assigned ports used by clients for specific communication sessions.
-
Multiplexing: Many different applications can communicate simultaneously with a single server using the same IP address. The port number differentiates the traffic flow for different applications.
-
Determining destination: The destination IP address, protocol (TCP or UDP), and port number are necessary to deliver data to the correct application.
Protocols using TCP and UDP
- TCP: HTTPS, SSH
- UDP: DHCP, TFTP
Client-Server Communication Example
- Data transfer between a client and server with details on IP addresses, port numbers, and protocols for various applications.
- Illustration of multiple simultaneous communication streams happening over a single IP address using different port numbers which demonstrate how multiplexing is a mechanism of TCP.
