Study Notes
Network Protocols and Communication
- This chapter covers network protocols and communication
- Rules facilitate communication by providing a common method
- Protocols and standards organizations ensure interoperability in network communication
- Protocols are necessary for successful communication due to their defined rules and formats
- Protocols define message encoding, delivery options (unicast, multicast, broadcast), formatting, encapsulation, timing, and size
- Encoding converts data to a suitable format for transmission
Rules of Communication
- Communication methods share three common elements: source, destination, and channel (or media).
- Rules or protocols govern all communication methods.
Rule Establishment
- Protocols are needed for effective communication:
- Identified sender and receiver
- Common language and grammar
- Speed and timing of delivery
- Confirmation or acknowledgment requirements
- Protocols in network communications
- Define message encoding (converting data to an appropriate form)
- Establish message delivery options (unicast, multicast, broadcast)
- Specify message formatting and encapsulation details
- Define message timing (access methods, flow control)
- Specify message size limits and potential breakdown of long messages
Message Encoding
- Encoding converts data format to appropriate format for transfer across the network
- Encoding involves conversion of bits to patterns of sounds, light waves, or electrical impulses, depending on the network medium
- Destination host decodes the signals to interpret the message
Message Formatting and Encapsulation
- Agreed letter formatting and addressing is required for proper transmission
- Encapsulation involves placing a letter in the addressed envelope
- Computer messages, packaged in a specific format called frame
- Frames act like envelopes, carrying destination and source addresses
Message Size
- Humans break down long messages into smaller parts (sentences) for clearer communication.
- Long messages are divided into smaller pieces (frames) for effective network transmission
- Each frame carries its own addressing to ensure proper delivery
Message Timing
- Network devices need to know when to begin sending messages and handle potential collisions
- Flow control ensures the receiver is not overwhelmed with data
- Response timeout mechanisms define wait periods for responses and specify actions upon timeouts
Message Delivery Options
- Unicast: One-to-one delivery
- Multicast: One-to-many delivery
- Broadcast: One-to-all delivery
Network Protocols and Standards
- Protocols are implemented in hosts and networking devices using software, hardware, or both
- Protocols are layered, and each higher layer depends on lower layer functions
- A protocol suite defines how the communication elements work together
Network Protocols
- Common protocols, such as HTTP, TCP, and IP, are crucial for managing the processes related to communication
- Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) manages client-server interactions over the internet
- Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) controls and manages the conversations
- Internet Protocol (IP) creates packets, assigns addresses, and delivers the packets to destination hosts
Protocols Interaction
- HTTP manages application-layer communications between web browsers and servers
- TCP manages the individual conversations involved
- IP encapsulates TCP segments into packets and delivers the packets to destination hosts
- Ethernet allows communication over network media
TCP/IP Protocol Suite
- The TCP/IP protocol suite describes the protocols involved, such as protocols for name system (DNS), host configuration (BOOTP, DHCP), email (SMTP, POP, IMAP), file transfer (FTP, TFTP), and web (HTTP)
- TCP/IP protocols are used for network services, including addressing and routing
- TCP/IP Protocols include UDP for support, and IP on the internet layer such protocols like Routing(OSPF, EIGRP) and ICMP for addressing
TCP/IP Communication Process
- The webserver forms the HTML page and the HTTP application protocol sends to the next layer
- The transport layer breaks the data into segments and identifies each
- The IP source and destination addresses are included in an IP packet
- An Ethernet frame (data link frame) is created using Ethernet information (addressing)
TCP/IP Communication Process (Cont.)
- When receiving data, the Ethernet header is removed, followed by the IP header, and then the Transport header
- Finally, the HTTP information is processed and prepared for the client’s web browser
OSI Model and TCP/IP Model Comparison
- The comparison outlines the differences between the two models, with the OSI model offering a granular view of the layers while the TCP Model provides a higher level view
Data Transfer in the Network
- Large data streams are split into smaller, manageable pieces for transmission
- Segmentation facilitates easier network transmission, allowing processing of multiple conversations at once
- Each data piece (segment) is labeled to allow for re-assembly by the recipient
Protocol Data Units
- Data segments, packets, and frames are protocol data units (PDUs).
- Each layer adds headers and trailers to PDUs for communication, which are removed at the receiving end in an order opposite to the transmission
Encapsulation Example
- The encapsulation process starts at the highest protocol layer, with data being divided into smaller segments
- Segments are encapsulated in IP packets
- IP packets are encapsulated into Ethernet frames (data link layer frames) for transmission
De-encapsulation
- De-encapsulation is the deconstruction of data frames
- The receiving device removes layers of a deconstructed frame.
- The data is de-encapsulated in the order opposite of the encapsulation
Network Addresses
- Network layer addresses (IP addresses) are for delivering packets
- Source IP address refers to the sender (original source of the packet)
- Destination IP refers to the IP address of the receiver (final destination of the packet)
Data Link Addresses
- Data link addresses (MAC addresses) are used to navigate within a network
- As IP packets travel, each router adds a new data link frame
Devices on the Same Network
- Devices on the same network use MAC addresses for local communication
- MAC addresses identify specific devices on a network
Devices on a Remote Network
- Remote network communication involves IP addresses to identify remote devices
- Data link frames are forwarded to the default gateway (nearest router)
- Routers remove or modify part of the data link and add new header information before sending to the final destination
Standards Organizations
- Open standards promote interoperability, competition, and innovation in computer networks.
- Standards organizations, such as the IEEE, IANA, and ITU, define and promote standards.
