Study Notes
Network Protocols and Communication
- Network communication relies on rules and protocols
- Communication methods share common elements: source, destination, and channel
- Protocols govern all forms of communication
- Protocols are necessary for effective communication, including sender and receiver identification, common language, speed and timing of delivery, and confirmation or acknowledgement requirements.
- Protocols also define message encoding, delivery options (unicast, multicast, broadcast), formatting and encapsulation, timing, and size
- Message encoding converts information into a suitable format for transmission
- Encoding varies depending on the network, converting bits into sounds, light waves, or electrical impulses
- Destination hosts decode these signals to interpret the message
- Protocols for message formatting and encapsulation ensure proper delivery, adding headers and trailers for addressing and other information
- Message size is divided into smaller parts (frames) for transmission across networks
- Message timing mechanisms include access methods and flow control to manage collisions and prevent overwhelming the destination
- Message delivery options include unicast (one-to-one), multicast (one-to-many), and broadcast (one-to-all)
- Network protocols define a common format and rules for message exchange between devices
- Common networking protocols include HTTP, TCP, and IP
- Protocol interaction examples include communication between a web server and web client, using HTTP, TCP, and IP
- TCP/IP protocol suite layers include application, transport, internet, and network access, with specific protocols for each functionality
- Protocols used in network communications are arranged in layers, higher-level services depend on lower layer functionalities.
- TCP/IP model layers include application, transport, internet and network access
Data Transfer in the Network
- Data encapsulation breaks large data streams into smaller parts and labels pieces for message segmentation and reassembly
- Data is broken into smaller pieces (segments), encapsulated in IP packets, and further encapsulated in Ethernet frames
- Data is de-encapsulated in reverse order by receiving devices, starting with Ethernet frames to retrieve the IP packet, then TCP segments, and finally the original data
- Network layer addresses (IP addresses) handle packet delivery from source to destination
- Source and destination IP addresses identify the devices involved in data transmission
- Data link addresses (MAC addresses) facilitate frame delivery within a network
Standards Organizations
- Open standards encourage interoperability and innovation
- Standards organizations, like IEEE, IANA, and others, are vendor-neutral to help development and promote open standards and protocols
- Internet Standards
- Internet Society (ISOC), promotes open development and evolution of internet use globally
- Internet Architecture Board (IAB) manage and develop internet standards
- Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) develops, updates, and maintains internet and TCP/IP technologies
- Many other organizations create standards for electronic components
- Different organizations have standards associated with their specific functions, examples include electrical wiring, radio equipment, networking equipment and satellite communications
Reference Models
- Layered models assist in protocol design by defining functions for each layer
- Layered models permit competition by allowing products from different vendors to work together
- Preventing changes in one layer from affecting other layers
- Layered models provide a common language for describing networking functions
- Open System Interconnection (OSI) model describes data transmission using layers
- These layers facilitate process-to-process communication
- Protocols are grouped for a more detailed explanation within each layer for process-to-process communication
- Specific functions are attributed to each layer
- TCP/IP model provides an alternative model for network communications
- The layers describe data transmission and the functions carried within each layer for sending data across networks
- Comparison of the layers between the OSI and TCP/IP model
