Study Notes

OSI Model (Open Systems Interconnection)

Conceptual framework consists of seven layers for network functions.
Layer 1: Physical Layer - Manages the physical connection, including cables, switches, and signal transmission.
Layer 2: Data Link Layer - Manages data frames and error detection between devices on the same network.
Layer 3: Network Layer - Responsible for routing data using IP addresses across different networks.
Layer 4: Transport Layer - Ensures reliable end-to-end communication using protocols like TCP and UDP.
Layer 5: Session Layer - Manages connections or sessions between applications.
Layer 6: Presentation Layer - Translates data formats, handles encryption and compression between application and network.
Layer 7: Application Layer - Directly provides network services to users, such as email, file transfer, and web browsing.

IP Addressing

An IP address uniquely identifies a device on a network.
IPv4 - Utilizes a 32-bit address formatted as four decimal numbers (e.g., 192.168.1.1).
IPv6 - Employs a 128-bit address, allowing a considerably larger address space formatted as eight hexadecimal numbers (e.g., 2001:0db8:85a3:0000:0000:8a2e:0370:7334).

Subnetting

Involves dividing a network into smaller sub-networks (subnets) to enhance efficiency and security.
Subnet Mask - A 32-bit number that identifies network and host portions of an IP address (e.g., 255.255.255.0).

TCP/IP Model

A practical model simplifying network communication, consisting of four layers.
Layer 1: Network Interface Layer - Combines OSI's Physical and Data Link layers, responsible for data transmission and hardware addressing.
Layer 2: Internet Layer - Corresponds to OSI's Network layer, focuses on routing and IP addressing.
Efficiently facilitates interactions between networks, with a focus on logical addressing and routing.

Comparison of OSI Model and TCP/IP Model

OSI Model consists of seven layers while TCP/IP Model simplifies this into four layers reflecting real-world processes.
TCP/IP Model is the standard for most networks and the internet due to its simplicity and effectiveness.

Introduction to Cloud Computing

Cloud Computing delivers computing services such as servers and storage over the internet, allowing access without owning physical infrastructure.
On-Demand Self-Service - Enables users to automatically access resources without human intervention (e.g., spinning up virtual servers).
Broad Network Access - Services are accessible through standard mechanisms like web browsers, across various devices for convenience (e.g., accessing Google Drive from any device).
