Study Notes
Network Protocols
- Network protocols define how messages are exchanged between the source and destination.
- They enable successful interoperation between products from different manufacturers.
- Network protocols are not limited to devices on remote networks, they are essential for communication between any devices on a network.
OSI Model Layers
- Application layer: Provides services to applications (e.g., email, web browsing).
- Presentation layer: Handles data format and encryption.
- Session layer: Establishes, manages, and terminates communication sessions.
- Transport layer: Provides reliable and ordered delivery of data between source and destination, ensuring data segments arrive in the correct sequence.
- Network layer: Handles logical addressing and routing of packets.
- Data Link layer: Provides error detection and correction, framing, and flow control.
- Physical layer: Defines physical characteristics of the network media and how data is transmitted, such as cabling standards or wireless frequencies.
TCP/IP Model Layers
- The application layer encompasses the application, presentation, and session layers of the OSI model.
- The transport layer corresponds to the transport layer of the OSI model.
- The internet layer corresponds to the network layer of the OSI model.
- The network access layer corresponds to the data link and physical layers of the OSI model.
Protocol Data Units (PDUs)
- A segment is processed at the transport layer.
- A packet is processed at the network layer.
- A frame is processed at the data link layer.
- Bits are transmitted at the physical layer.
Network Devices
- Intermediary devices connect individual hosts to the network and direct data between them.
- End devices originate the data that flows through the network, such as computers, servers, and smartphones.
Network Types
- An intranet is a private network within an organization.
- An extranet is a private network that allows controlled access for external parties, such as business partners.
- The Internet is a global network that allows public access.
- A LAN (Local Area Network) connects devices within a limited geographic area, typically a building or campus.
Network Trends
- BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) allows users to access network resources using personal devices.
- Converged networks deliver data, voice, and video over the same network infrastructure.
- Cloud computing allows access to applications and data over the Internet.
- Powerline networking uses existing electrical wiring to extend a network.
Network Security
- Firewalls filter traffic and prevent unauthorized access.
- Antivirus software detects and removes malicious programs.
- Strong passwords protect user accounts from unauthorized access.
Network Performance
- Quality of Service (QoS) prioritizes specific types of traffic to ensure smooth data transmission, especially important for applications like video conferencing.
- Scalability refers to a network's ability to grow without impacting existing users.
- Broadcast communication transmits a message to all devices on a network.
- Multicast communication transmits a message to a select group of devices.
- Unicast communication transmits a message to a single device.
Encapsulation
- Encapsulation is the process of placing one message inside another message for transmission, adding headers and trailers at each layer of the network to provide information for routing and delivery.
Network Protocols
- Network protocols define how messages are exchanged between source and destination.
- Using standardized protocols allows for interoperability between products from different manufacturers.
- Protocols are not limited to remote networks and are required for communication between devices on both local and remote networks.
- They are not responsible for defining hardware types or mounting.
OSI Model
- The application layer of the TCP/IP model is comparable to the application, presentation, and session layers of the OSI model
- An IP address is encapsulated at the network layer of the OSI model
- At the transport layer of the TCP/IP model, the PDU is called a segment.
Layer 4 of the OSI Model
- Layer 4 of the OSI model is responsible for delivering data reliably and in order between a source and destination.
Protocol Data Unit (PDU)
- A PDU (Protocol Data Unit) is a general term used to describe a piece of data at any layer of a networking model.
Intermediary Devices
- Intermediary devices connect individual hosts to the network, they do not generate or alter data content.
- Intermediary devices are responsible for determining the path messages should take through internetworks.
End Devices
- End devices originate the data that flows through a network.
- End devices are the interface between humans and the communication network.
Network Media
- The environment where the network media will be installed is a key factor in selecting a specific type of network media.
Network Types
- An intranet is a private network within an organization that provides access to confidential information.
- An extranet allows limited access to external users.
Networking Trends
- BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) allows employees to use their personal devices to access resources on a business or campus network.

Data Protection Goals
- Strong, complex passwords contribute to data confidentiality.
Scalable Networks
- Scalable networks can grow in size without impacting existing users.
Network Devices
- Routers, switches, and firewalls are all intermediary devices.
Network Communication Types
- Broadcast communication sends a message to all devices on a local network.
- Unicast communication sends a message to a single device.
Encapsulation
- Encapsulation is the process of placing one message inside another for transmission from source to destination
- This is done on a network by adding information from a higher layer as a header to the data at a lower layer.
Protocol Stack Order
- From a web client's perspective, the protocol stack for sending a webpage request is: HTTP, TCP, IP, Ethernet.
Network Protocols
- Network protocols define how messages are exchanged between the source and the destination.
- Standards allow products from different manufacturers to interoperate successfully.
OSI Model
- The Application, Presentation, and Session layers of the OSI model are comparable to the Application layer of the TCP/IP model.
- An IP address is encapsulated at the Network layer of the OSI model.
TCP/IP Model
- A segment is the PDU processed at the Transport layer of the TCP/IP model.
- Layer 4 of the OSI model is responsible for describing ordered and reliable data delivery between source and destination.
- Protocol Data Unit (PDU) is the general term for a piece of data at any layer of a networking model.
