Study Notes
OSI Model and Physical Layer
- Physical layer encodes frames into electrical, optical, or radio signals for transmission across network media.
- Errors in signal distortion from hardware are categorized at the physical layer, which is Layer 1 of the OSI model.
- The main purpose of the physical layer is transmitting bits across local media, distinct from the data link layer responsibilities.
Frame Encoding and Transmission
- Frame encoding converts bits into a predefined code, distinguishing data bits from control bits and framing the data.
- Fiber-optic cabling can carry signals much farther than copper cabling and is less susceptible to interference.
- 568A and 568B standards differ in the order of wired pair colors, specifically swapping green and orange pairs.
Networking Concepts and Metrics
- Latency refers to the delay in data travel between network points, affecting performance.
- Bandwidth is the maximum rate of data transfer, while throughput is the actual rate achieved after considering factors like congestion.
- Shielded twisted-pair (STP) cabling uses extra shielding to minimize interference.
Signals and Data Format
- Signal transmission options include electrical pulses, light pulses, and radio waves.
- Flow control ensures data is sent at a manageable rate to prevent packet loss.
- Encapsulation is the process where one message format is placed into another for routing.
Protocols in Networking
- TCP controls size and rate of HTTP messages, managing data segments in conversation between client and server.
- The TCP/IP transport layer is responsible for ordered, reliable delivery of data.
- Standards for protocols allow interoperability among products from different manufacturers.
Application Layer Protocols
- DHCP, DNS, and FTP are key application layer protocols within the TCP/IP suite.
- Proprietary protocols are controlled by a single organization, unlike open standards which promote interoperability and innovation.
Network Communication Types
- Multicast communication refers to messages sent to a specific group of computers, contrasting with broadcast (one-to-all) and unicast (one-to-one).
- Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) discovers MAC addresses of devices on the local network, essential for packet delivery.
Addressing and Gateway Functions
- Logical addresses provide unique identification for devices at the internet layer, necessary for routing.
- An incorrectly configured default gateway restricts communication to the local network, preventing access to remote hosts.
TCP/IP Encapsulation Process
- Data encapsulation in TCP/IP involves sending segments from the transport layer to the internet layer for routing.
- TCP manages individual conversations, while the underlying network access layer structures frames for transmission.
Final Notes on Protocols and Devices
- Open standard protocols facilitate successful data exchange between devices from different vendors, enhancing competition and innovation.
- All devices must conform to specific addressing protocols to ensure proper communication and data exchange in networks.
