Questions and Answers

What is a primary feature of TCP in contrast to UDP?

  • TCP is faster than UDP in data transmission.

TCP/IP Suite

A collection of protocols used to implement the four-level hierarchy of the Internet. It provides a standardized way for network devices and software to communicate.

OSI Model

An international standard that defines a seven-level hierarchy for network communication. It was an attempt to replace TCP/IP but failed due to the widespread adoption of TCP/IP.

TCP

The Transmission Control Protocol, a transport layer protocol responsible for reliable, ordered delivery of data. It establishes a connection between sender and receiver and ensures data integrity.

UDP

The User Datagram Protocol, another transport layer protocol, but for connectionless communication. It's faster but doesn't guarantee delivery or order.

IP

The protocol that defines how data is transmitted over the network layer of the Internet. It's used for addressing and routing packets.

Hop count

A way of measuring how far a packet has traveled through the network. It's used to prevent packets from looping endlessly.

Congestion Control

A property of TCP that allows it to adjust the transmission rate to avoid overloading the network. It helps prevent network congestion.

Study Notes

Networking and the Internet: TCP/IP Protocol Suite

  • Standards are crucial for equipment and software compatibility from various vendors.
  • Open System Interconnection (OSI) is a standard framework for networking, though the four-layer TCP/IP model is more prevalent.
  • TCP/IP is a suite of protocols that implements a four-level hierarchy. It's often misleadingly called a single protocol.
  • TCP defines a transport layer version, enabling multiple implementation choices (e.g., TCP or UDP).
  • Choosing different transport layers is similar to using different shipping companies.
  • TCP establishes a connection before transmission, while UDP does not; UDP is connectionless.
  • Destinations might not be operational with UDP.
  • TCP transport layers at both ends coordinate acknowledgement and retransmission, creating a reliable protocol.
  • UDP is an unreliable protocol.
  • TCP can adjust transmission rates to prevent congestion.
  • UDP is more streamlined than TCP, making it suitable for tasks like DNS lookups and VoIP.
  • TCP is a better choice for email transfer.
  • IP (Internet Protocol) defines the network layer and routing.
  • Hop count values are included in packets, ensuring efficient forwarding. A value of 64 is typically sufficient.
