Study Notes
Transmission Delay and Packet Size
- Transmission delay (= \frac{\text{Packet Size}}{\text{Bandwidth}})
- For 6-byte packets, total time for message transfer is (18a , \text{sec} + 42a , \text{sec} = 60a , \text{sec})
- For 9-byte packets, time taken for the first packet is (27a , \text{sec})
Packet Segmentation
- A message can be divided into multiple packets for transmission, depending on packet size.
- Header size reduces the amount of data that can be sent in each packet.
Server-Side vs Client-Side Programming
- Server-Side Programming Languages: PHP, C++, Java, JSP, Python, Ruby on Rails.
- Client-Side Programming Languages: JavaScript, VBScript, HTML, CSS, AJAX.
HTTP Overview
- HTTP is an application-level protocol used for communication between client and server.
- Operates over TCP/IP with default port TCP 80, delivering resources like HTML files and images.
Key Features of HTTP
- Media Independence: Capable of transmitting various media types, as long as both client and server can handle them.
- Connectionless: The client makes a request and disconnects, awaiting a response.
HTTP Messages Structure
- Requests and Responses: Both use a generic message format with four main components.
- Message Start-Line: Comprised of a method, requested resource's path, and HTTP version.
- Message Headers: Provide information about the request/response and the content.
- Types include General, Request, Response, and Entity headers.
- Message Body: Contains the data sent in the request and response.
DNS Lookup Process
- User inputs a domain name into a browser, initiating a DNS query process that resolves the IP address.
- Steps include interactions between a DNS recursive resolver, root nameserver, TLD nameserver, and the authoritative nameserver.
DNS Records
- A Record: Maps a domain to its IP address.
- CNAME Record: Forwards one domain to another, without providing an IP.
- MX Record: Directs emails to a mail server.
- TXT Record: Allows storing text notes.
- NS Record: Specifies the name server for a domain.
- SOA Record: Contains administrative information about a domain.
- SRV Record: Defines a port and protocol for services.
- PTR Record: Used for reverse DNS lookups, providing a domain name for an IP address.
Electronic Mail Fundamentals
- Email is designed for human communication, enabling the exchange of text, images, audio, and video.
- The sender initiates the email, while the recipient receives it.
- Email systems utilize a store-and-forward model, where servers handle message delivery and storage.
User Agent vs. Message Transfer Agent
- User Agent (UA): Program that facilitates sending and receiving emails, managing mailboxes.
- Message Transfer Agent (MTA): Handles the actual email transfer process, requiring a server for receiving and a client for sending emails.
