Study Notes
Introduction to Networking
- Networking is a system of interconnected computers sharing resources.
- Communication protocols enable communication between computers.
- Networks vary in size, from small home networks to the global internet.
LANs and WANs
- LANs (Local Area Networks) connect devices in a limited area (like a home or office).
- WANs (Wide Area Networks) connect LANs across larger geographical areas (like cities or countries).
- LANs are typically managed by a single entity, while WANs are managed by multiple service providers.
What is the Internet?
- The internet is a global collection of interconnected networks, or internetworks.
- It connects billions of devices worldwide.
- The internet is a complex hierarchical structure, with access networks connecting to regional and global networks.
Edge Network
- End systems (hosts), like computers and phones, are at the edge of the network.
- Access networks, such as cables, DSL, and cellular, connect hosts to the internet.
- Intermediary devices, like routers and switches, facilitate communication within the network.
Internet Service Providers (ISPs)
- ISPs connect end systems to the internet using various technologies.
- ISPs can be residential, corporate, or university based.
- ISP networks are composed of interconnected routers and communication links.
- ISPs must interconnect to enable communication between any two points on the internet.
Protocols and reference model
- Protocols are sets of rules governing communication between devices.
- Protocols define message formats, order, and actions.
- TCP/IP is a common suite of internet protocols for networked communication and function in layers.
- Layers simplify complex network systems by providing abstraction of functions of the lower layers.
Data Encapsulation
- Data encapsulation is the process of adding protocol headers to data as it moves down the protocol stack.
- Encapsulation is performed at each layer to include information specific to that layer and is executed before transmission.
- Each layer in the protocol stack adds its own PDU (Protocol Data Unit) to the data stream. For example, converting data elements into bits, then into a frame, and eventually into a segmented packet for transmission.
Addressing
- Addressing is how devices are identified on the network.
- Physical addresses (MAC) identify network interfaces on individual devices.
- Logical addresses (IP) identify devices on the network over multiple networks.
Small network configuration
- Small networks usually use a simple topology, often with a single WAN connection.
- Devices on small networks require unique IP addresses.
- Network connectivity can be tested using ping, which checks for connection reachability.
