    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
