Study Notes
OSI Model
- Application Layer (Layer 7)
- PDU: Data
- Protocols: HTTP, FTP, SMTP, DNS
- Function: Provides network services directly to application users for process-to-process communication.
- Presentation Layer (Layer 6)
- PDU: Data
- Protocols: TLS, SSL
- Function: Manages data representation, ensuring data is in a readable format for the receiving application.
- Session Layer (Layer 5)
- PDU: Data
- Protocols: NetBIOS, PPTP
- Function: Manages application sessions, coordinating and maintaining connections between applications.
- Transport Layer (Layer 4)
- PDU: Segment
- Protocols: TCP, UDP
- Function: Provides reliable or unreliable data transport between hosts, including flow control, error checking, and data segmentation.
- Network Layer (Layer 3)
- PDU: Packet
- Protocols: IP, ICMP, ARP
- Function: Routes packets across networks by managing logical addressing and forwarding.
- Data Link Layer (Layer 2)
- PDU: Frame
- Protocols: Ethernet, PPP
- Function: Facilitates data transfer between devices on the same network segment, handling MAC addressing and error detection.
- Physical Layer (Layer 1)
- PDU: Bits
- Protocols: Ethernet, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth
- Function: Transmits raw bits over a physical medium.
TCP/IP Model
- Application Layer
- PDU: Data
- Protocols: HTTP, FTP, DNS
- Function: Combines OSI layers 5-7, handling high-level protocols and network services.
- Transport Layer
- PDU: Segment
- Protocols: TCP, UDP
- Function: Manages end-to-end communication, including error checking and data segmentation.
- Internet Layer
- PDU: Packet
- Protocols: IP, ICMP, ARP
- Function: Handles logical addressing, routing, and packet forwarding.
- Network Access Layer
- PDU: Frame/Bits
- Protocols: Ethernet, Wi-Fi
- Function: Includes both the OSI data link and physical layers, focusing on frame transmission and network interface.
Internet Layer (Specifics)
- Characteristics of IP
- Connectionless: Does not establish a dedicated end-to-end connection beforehand.
- Best-Effort Delivery: Does not guarantee packet delivery, sequencing, or error-free transmission.
- Media Independent: Works independently of the network medium.
- IPv6
- Increased Address Space: Significantly expands addressing capabilities.
- Improved Packet Handling: Simplified header format enhances processing efficiency.
- Elimination of NAT: Removes the need for Network Address Translation, improving end-to-end connectivity.
Host Forwarding Decisions
- A host can send packets to:
- Itself (loopback address).
- A destination on the same network.
- A destination on a different network (through the default gateway).
- The default gateway acts as a router for forwarding to other networks
Network Access
- Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) and Shielded Twisted Pair (STP):
- UTP: Composed of twisted wires without shielding, less expensive and easier to install.
- STP: Similar to UTP but with additional shielding, reducing EMI and crosstalk, typically more expensive.
- Cut-through Switching: Starts forwarding a packet as soon as it reads the destination address, offering faster transmission but potentially higher error rates.
Routing Concepts
- Remote Network Routing:
- Router Functionality: Routers connect different IP networks and determine the optimal path for packet forwarding.
- Packet Forwarding Mechanisms:
- Process Switching: Checks each packet individually, slower.
- Fast Switching: Employs caches to store routing information, quicker.
- Routing protocols like RIP, OSPF, EIGRP; Load balancing distributes traffic across multiple paths.
- Static Routing: Manual configuration of routing tables for smaller networks, simpler, and more secure (but less flexible).
