Study Notes

IPv6 and Protocols

  • An IPv6 address consists of 128 bits, providing a vastly larger address space compared to IPv4.
  • RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol) allows remote access to Windows computers via a graphical user interface (GUI).
  • A routable protocol operates at the Internetwork layer of the TCP/IP model.

Application and Transport Layer Protocols

  • SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is utilized for monitoring and managing network devices and employs UDP as its Transport-layer protocol.
  • The Transport layer's primary function is segmenting large data from the Application layer into smaller, manageable pieces.

Address Resolution and Connection Types

  • ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) resolves logical IP addresses to physical MAC addresses.
  • Connectionless services are provided by protocols IP and UDP, which do not establish a dedicated end-to-end connection.

DHCP and IP Addressing

  • UDP is ideal for designing a fast, efficient Application-layer protocol that does not require handling large data volumes.
  • The Three-way handshake is the term for the process TCP uses to establish a connection between devices.
  • DHCP Reservation ensures a client receives the same IP address by associating it with the client's MAC address.
  • The first packet in the DHCP leasing process is called DHCP Discover, which initiates the request for an IP address.

IPv6 Features and DNS

  • IPv6 enhances features of IPv4, including a larger address space and built-in security measures.
  • DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) automatically configures a computer's IP address and subnet mask.
  • Initial leasing between DHCP client and server occurs through broadcast packets.

Domain Naming System (DNS)

  • In the Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) www.yc.edu, ".edu" is categorized as a top-level domain.
  • A DNS client, also known as a resolver, queries DNS servers for domain resolution.
  • The CNAME (Canonical Name) record serves as an alias for another DNS record.
  • When a DHCP-enabled Windows computer cannot find a DHCP server, it automatically configures an APIPA (Automatic Private IP Addressing).

DNS Query Process

  • When a DNS server fails to resolve a query using its zone records or cache, it resorts to root hints for further assistance.
  • The Transport layer identifies source and destination Application-layer protocols using port numbers.

Use of UDP in Application Layer Protocols

  • DNS and DHCP are examples of Application-layer protocols that typically use the UDP Transport-layer protocol.

Frame and Layer Functions

  • The correct order of headers in a completed network frame is: frame, IP header, and then UDP header.
  • The Network Access layer tasks include transmitting and receiving bit signals and verifying that incoming frames reach the correct destination MAC address.
  • The TTL (Time to Live) field in the IP header is utilized by the tracert program to determine the IP addresses of routers along the path.
  • Connectionless Transport-layer protocols do not include acknowledgments or a three-way handshake process.
