Study Notes

Network Protocols and Communications

Flow Control: A method used to prevent packet loss due to excessive data transmission speed between two computers.
Broadcast Communication: Sends messages to all devices on a local area network, ensuring widespread delivery within the network.
Encapsulation Process: Involves placing one message within another for transfer, ensuring that the original message is properly packaged for delivery.

Protocol Stacks and Models

Web Client Request Order: For a webpage request, the transmission protocol stack follows the order: HTTP, TCP, IP, Ethernet.
Network Protocol Definition: Protocols establish rules for how messages are exchanged from source to destination.
TCP/IP vs. OSI Model: Both models’ layers 4 (TCP/IP transport) and OSI Layer 4 offer comparable services and functions.

Advantages of Protocol Standards

Inter-operability through Standards: Standardized protocols allow products from various manufacturers to work together seamlessly.
Open Standard Protocols Benefits: Facilitate successful data exchange even between clients and servers running different operating systems.

TCP/IP and OSI Layers

TCP/IP File Transfer Layers: When transferring a file, the layers involved in the TCP/IP model are application, transport, Internet, and network access.
Comparable OSI Layers: The application layer in TCP/IP corresponds to the application, presentation, and session layers of the OSI model.

Addressing and Routing

Logical Address Encapsulation: Occurs at the network layer of the OSI model, where addresses are prepared for transmission.
PDU Formats: A "frame" is used when bits are received by a Network Interface Card (NIC), while a "segment" is processed at the transport layer when de-encapsulating messages.
Address Generation for Host Communication: Host A generates a frame with Router A’s MAC address and a packet using Server B’s IP address during communication.

Host Configuration and Networking

NIC Frame Acceptance: A Network Interface Card (NIC) checks the destination MAC address to decide if it should accept a frame.
Default Gateway Configuration: If the default gateway is incorrectly set, the host cannot communicate with devices outside its own network.
Default Gateway Characteristics: It is the logical address of the router interface residing on the same network as the host.

Organizations and Protocol Functions

ISOC: Promotes open Internet development, evolution, and usage globally.
ISO: The largest international standards developer, known for the OSI reference model.
IANA: Manages IP address allocation, domain names, and protocol identifiers.

Protocol Functions in Web Client Interaction

Application Protocol: Governs the interaction between web servers and clients.
Internet Protocol: Encapsulates transport protocol segments into packets.
Network Access Protocol: Prepares packets for transmission over network media.
Transport Protocol: Manages conversations between web servers and clients.

Message Processing

Message Encoding: Converts information from one format to another for seamless transmission.
Message Sizing: Breaks long messages into smaller segments before network transmission.
Message Encapsulation: Involves embedding one message format within another for efficient communication.
