    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).
