Study Notes
Network Protocols and Communication
- Network communication relies on rules, protocols, and standards
- Communication methods share three fundamental elements: source, destination, and channel
- Protocols and standards govern all forms of communication
- Protocols for communication include an agreed-upon format and common language between sender and receiver
- Speed and timing of delivery must be considered for communication
- Protocols require confirmation or acknowledgment to ensure proper communication
- Protocols define message encoding to translate information into an appropriate format prior to transmission
- Message delivery options like unicast, multicast, and broadcast enable different types of communication
- Message formatting and encapsulation define the sender and receiver of a message
- Message size constraints might require breaking long messages into smaller parts for transmission
- Message timing and access methods, flow control, manage message transmission and address collisions
- Message encoding converts data into a suitable format for the communication channel
- Data is encoded into patterns based on the communication medium
Network Protocols and Standards
- Protocols and standards groups facilitate interoperability in network communication
- Protocols are essential for successful network communication
- Standardized protocols enable different systems and organizations to communicate
- Protocols and standards are used in network communication to establish compatibility and interoperability standards
- TCP/IP model and OSI model standardize communication processes, facilitating communication
Data Transfer in the Network
- Devices on a local area network (LAN) access resources within a small or medium-sized business network
- Data encapsulation enables data transmission over a network
- Local hosts utilize network protocols to access local resources
- Encapsulation breaks down data into smaller segments to enable reliable network communication. Each segment has information on how to reassemble the full message.
- Multi-plexing allows for multiple conversations to be handled at once.
- Labeled segments and timing processes help ensure that data is successfully transmitted and received
Protocol Suites and Processes
- Protocols are used for communication which create a common language and set of rules
- TCP/IP Model is a layer-based architecture that creates a framework for network communication
- TCP/IP protocols manage data transmission between networks
Standards Organizations
- Standards organizations like IEEE, IANA, ICANN, ITU, and TIA promote the development and maintenance of interoperability standards in communication
- Supporting standardization ensures compatibility and innovation in an ever-changing technological landscape
- Global internet connectivity relies on common standards, helping global organizations and end-users communicate
- Open standards foster healthy competition and innovation in the industry by encouraging diverse vendors to participate
OSI and TCP/IP Model Comparison
- The OSI model and the TCP/IP model are layered architectures for conceptualizing network communication
- The application and network access layers from the OSI model further breaks down to more specific features in the TCP/IP model to facilitate more specific functions on the network.
Network Addresses
- The network layer defines source and destination addresses in a packet to ensure delivery to the correct destination
- The source IP address identifies the source of the data, while the destination IP address identifies the device receiving the data
- The data link layer provides MAC addresses enabling communication between devices within a local network
Data Access or Communication within Remote and Local Networks
- Different communication methods are used to send and receive data to/from remote or local networks
- Devices on the same or different networks use specific network addresses depending on the method of communication, to connect correctly within the network.
