Study Notes
-
In networking, IP addresses are like unique mailing addresses for computers, and DHCP ensures data is received by the correct IP address.
-
TCP protocol acknowledges receipt of packets and automatically requests retransmission if a packet is lost.
-
HTTPS, SSH, and TCP use port numbers to determine which application or service inside a house (server) will receive the data.
-
Port numbers, such as 80 for HTTP, 443 for HTTPS, and 25 for email (SMTP), determine which room (application) the data is delivered to.
-
A server can have multiple services running on the same IP address, each with its own port number.
-
Well-known or non-ephemeral port numbers are permanent and commonly used for specific services (e.g., port 80 for HTTP).
-
Ephemeral or temporary port numbers are dynamically assigned by operating systems for specific traffic flows and are short-lived.
-
DHCP, TCP, and port numbers work together to ensure accurate data delivery and routing between devices in a network.
-
We use a box (container) to transport application data between devices (client and server) in a network.
-
Network transmission involves an ethernet packet containing an ethernet payload, IP header, IP payload, TCP header, TCP payload, and transport protocol data (TCP or UDP).
-
IP is the protocol responsible for moving data between networks, while TCP and UDP are transport protocols that add additional features to IP.
-
TCP is a connection-oriented protocol, meaning it establishes and maintains a connection between two devices. It offers reliable data transfer with data reordering, error correction, and flow control.
-
UDP is a connectionless protocol, where data is sent without setting up a connection, making it faster and simpler than TCP. It is unreliable as it does not guarantee data delivery or reordering.
-
TCP and UDP operate at the transport layer (OSI model, layer 4) and are used to deliver data from applications to the network.
-
TCP and UDP have distinct use cases, with TCP preferred for applications requiring error-free data transfer, while UDP is used for time-sensitive data, such as voice and video streaming, and for protocols like DHCP and TFTP that do not require error-free delivery.
