    Study Notes

    Message Encoding

    • Messages between hosts must be in a format appropriate for the transmission medium.
    • Sending hosts convert messages into bits.
    • Each bit is encoded as sound, light waves, or electrical impulses depending on the network.
    • Receiving hosts decode the signals to interpret the message.

    Message Formatting and Encapsulation

    • There is an agreed format for messages, required for proper delivery.
    • Encapsulation is the process of putting the message into a frame.
    • A frame acts like an envelope, providing source and destination addresses.

    Message Size

    • Long messages are broken into smaller pieces to travel across the network.
    • Each piece is sent in a separate frame with its own addressing information.
    • The receiving host reassembles the frames into the original message.

    Message Timing

    • Hosts must know when to send messages and how to handle collisions.
    • Flow control helps negotiate correct timing to avoid overwhelming the destination.
    • Response timeout rules specify how long to wait for responses and what action to take if there's no response.

    Message Delivery Options

    • Unicast: One-to-one delivery
    • Multicast: One-to-many delivery
    • Broadcast: One-to-all delivery

    Protocols

    • Protocols define a common format for exchanging messages between devices.
    • Protocol suites are implemented in devices using hardware and software.
    • Protocols are viewed in terms of layers, with higher levels depending on lower levels.

    Network Protocols

    • Common networking protocols include HTTP, TCP, and IP.

    Protocol Interaction

    • Communication between a web server and web client involves multiple protocols:
      • HTTP: Governs the interaction between web server and client
      • TCP: Manages individual conversations
      • IP: Encapsulates TCP segments into packets, assigns addresses, and delivers to the destination.
      • Ethernet: Allows communication over a data link and physical transmission of data.

    TCP/IP Protocol Suite

    • TCP/IP is a widely used protocol suite for internet communication.

    TCP/IP Communication Process

    • When sending data from a web server to a client:
      • The data is prepared.
      • The HTTP application layer sends it to the transport layer.
      • The transport layer breaks the data into segments.
      • The IP layer adds source and destination addresses, forming an IP packet.
      • The Ethernet information is added, creating the Ethernet frame.
    • When receiving data:
      • The client removes each protocol header in reverse order.
      • The data is finally processed and sent to the client's web browser.

    Standards Organizations

    • Standards organizations promote interoperability, competition, and innovation.
    • They are vendor-neutral and non-profit.

    Internet Standards

    • ISOC: Promotes open development and evolution of Internet use globally.
    • ICANN: Coordinates IP address allocation and domain name management.
    • IAB: Manages and develops Internet standards.
    • IANA: Manages IP address allocation, domain name management, and protocol identifiers for ICANN.
    • IETF: Develops, updates, and maintains Internet and TCP/IP technologies.
    • IRTF: Focuses on long-term research related to Internet and TCP/IP.

    Electronics and Communications Standard Organizations

    • IEEE: Advances technological innovation and creates standards in various industries, including networking.
    • EIA: Creates standards related to electrical wiring, connectors, and network racks.
    • TIA: Creates standards for radio equipment, cellular towers, VoIP devices, and satellite communications.
    • ITU-T: Creates standards for video compression, IPTV, and broadband communications.

    Reference Models

    • Layered models assist in protocol design, foster competition, prevent technology changes from affecting other layers, and provide a common language for networking.

    The OSI Reference Model

    • Application: Contains protocols for process-to-process communication.
    • Presentation: Provides common representation of data.
    • Session: Manages data exchange and dialogue.
    • Transport: Segments, transfers, and reassembles data.
    • Network: Exchanges individual pieces of data between identified devices.
    • Data Link: Exchanges data frames between devices over a common media.
    • Physical: Describes the physical means of transmitting bits.

    The TCP/IP Protocol Model

    • Created in the early 1970s for internet communication.
    • An open standard.
    • Also called the TCP/IP Model or the Internet Model.

    OSI Model and TCP/IP Model Comparison

    • The OSI model further divides the network access and application layer of the TCP/IP model.

    Data Encapsulation

    • Large streams of data are divided into smaller pieces for efficient network transmission.
    • Each piece is labeled to allow retransmission of missing parts.
    • This process is called multiplexing, allowing interleaving of multiple conversations.

    Protocol Data Units

    • Each layer adds information to the data during encapsulation.
    • This forms a Protocol Data Unit (PDU).
      • Data: Application layer PDU
      • Segment: Transport layer PDU
      • Packet: Network layer PDU
      • Frame: Data Link Layer PDU
      • Bits: Physical Layer PDU

    Encapsulation Example

    • The encapsulation process works from top to bottom:
      • Data is divided into segments.
      • The TCP segment is encapsulated in the IP packet.
      • The IP packet is encapsulated in the Ethernet frame.

    De-encapsulation

    • De-encapsulation is the process of removing protocol headers from data moving up the stack.

    Data Access

    • Network layer addresses support IP packet delivery from the source to the final destination.
      • Source IP address: The IP address of the sending device.
      • Destination IP address: The IP address of the receiving device.
    • Data link addresses support frame delivery from one network interface to another on the same network.
