Study Notes
Network Models and Protocols
-
OSI (Open Systems Interconnection) is a reference model for how network communication should work
-
It has 7 layers: Application, Presentation, Session, Transport, Network, Data Link, Physical
-
Each layer has specific responsibilities and protocols associated with it
-
The Application layer deals with software and user interaction
-
The Presentation layer is responsible for data representation and formatting
-
The Session layer manages the communication session between devices
-
The Transport layer is responsible for end-to-end data delivery
-
The Network layer handles routing and logical addressing (IP addresses)
-
The Data Link layer controls access to the physical network medium (MAC addresses)
-
The Physical layer deals with the physical equipment and signals
-
TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) and UDP (User Datagram Protocol) are two common Transport layer protocols
-
TCP provides reliable, ordered delivery of data packets, while UDP is a faster but less reliable protocol
-
Protocols like HTTP, SMTP, FTP etc. operate at the Application layer
-
Devices on a network communicate by following the rules and standards defined by these protocols
-
The physical network infrastructure includes cables, switches, routers, access points etc. that enable data transmission
-
Network devices like routers and switches help interconnect different networks and route data traffic
-
Home networks typically use a router to connect multiple devices and provide internet access
-
Public IP addresses are used for communication over the internet, while private IP addresses are used within a local network### Overview of OSI Model and Network Protocols
-
OSI (Open Systems Interconnection) model is a conceptual framework that describes how different layers of a network system should function
-
The 7 layers of the OSI model are:
- Physical layer - deals with the physical equipment involved in the network
- Data link layer - packages raw data into frames
- Network layer - handles the routing and forwarding of data
- Transport layer - ensures complete data transfer
- Session layer - establishes, maintains and synchronizes communication sessions
- Presentation layer - formats and encrypts data
- Application layer - interfaces with software applications
-
Different network protocols operate at different layers of the OSI model
-
Common protocols include:
- Physical layer - Ethernet, Wi-Fi
- Data link layer - MAC addresses, ARP
- Network layer - IP addresses, DHCP, DNS
- Transport layer - TCP, UDP
- Application layer - HTTP, SMTP, FTP
IP Addresses and Network Classes
- IP addresses are used to identify devices on a network
- IP addresses are classified into different network classes based on the first few bits:
- Class A - 1.0.0.0 to 126.255.255.255
- Class B - 128.0.0.0 to 191.255.255.255
- Class C - 192.0.0.0 to 223.255.255.255
- Certain IP address ranges are reserved for special purposes:
- 127.0.0.0/8 is the loopback address range
- 10.0.0.0/8, 172.16.0.0/12, 192.168.0.0/16 are private address ranges
Network Devices and Components
- Routers connect different networks and route data between them
- Switches connect devices within a local network
- Hosts (computers, phones, servers) are network endpoints
- Gateways provide interconnection between different network protocols
- DHCP servers assign IP addresses to devices on a network
- DNS servers translate domain names to IP addresses
Networking Concepts
- Packets are the basic units of data transmitted over a network
- Segments are how the transport layer divides data into smaller pieces
- Frames are how the data link layer packages data
- Bits are the basic digital signals at the physical layer
Layers and Protocols
- Application layer protocols include HTTP, SMTP, FTP
- Transport layer protocols include TCP and UDP
- Network layer protocols include IP and ICMP
- Data link layer protocols include Ethernet, Wi-Fi
- Physical layer signals include electrical, optical, radio
Reliability and Delivery
- TCP provides reliable, ordered delivery of data packets
- UDP provides fast, unreliable, unordered delivery of data
- Error checking and flow control are handled by different protocol layers
Internet Governance and Authorities
-
ICANN is the global non-profit organization that coordinates the internet's addressing systems
-
Regional Internet Registries (RIRs) allocate and manage IP addresses for their regions
-
Internet Service Providers (ISPs) provide internet access and services to end-users### Networking and Router Configuration
-
The video covers the concepts of network configuration and routing protocols
-
Key points:
-
Router configuration and setup
-
Understanding different router interfaces and IP addressing
-
Concepts of network areas, border routers, and backbone
-
Difference between unicast, multicast, and broadcast networking
-
Use of OSPF (Open Shortest Path First) protocol for efficient routing
-
Role of "Dear" and "Media" routers in a network topology
-
Techniques to ensure network redundancy and failover
-
Importance of proper prioritization and configuration of router interfaces
-
Practical steps to configure routers and test connectivity
Network Redundancy and Failover
- OSPF protocol allows routers to efficiently share network information
- "Dear" and "Media" routers act as designated communication points
- Multicast addresses used to share network status updates
- If a network goes down, "Dear" router informs the "Media" routers
- This ensures the entire network is updated without individual notifications
- Provides redundancy and automatic failover if a connection is lost
Router Configuration and Interfaces
- Proper configuration of router interfaces is crucial
- Use of "show" commands to view current interface status
- Assigning correct IP addresses and subnet masks
- Prioritizing key interfaces for optimal performance
- Techniques to create loopback interfaces for testing
OSPF Protocol Operation
- OSPF is a link-state routing protocol
- Routers share network topology information using OSPF
- "Hello" packets exchanged to establish neighbor relationships
- Routers build a database of the entire network
- Routing decisions made based on shortest path calculations
Network Design Considerations
- Hierarchical network design with backbone and area concepts
- Importance of area 0 as the central backbone
- Connecting multiple areas through border routers
- Redundant paths for failover and load balancing
Network Models and Protocols
