Study Notes
OSI Model vs. TCP/IP
- The TCP/IP suite is well established and widely used, making the OSI model less relevant.
- Some OSI model layers were never fully developed, limiting its practical application.
- The performance level of the OSI model was insufficient to encourage a shift from TCP/IP.
Encapsulation and Decapsulation
- Encapsulation involves adding headers to data for processing, while decapsulation is the removal of these headers to retrieve the original message.
- In the Application Layer, the data is referred to as a message.
- Transport Layer includes source and destination identifiers for applications, ensuring end-to-end delivery.
- Network Layer adds source and destination host identifiers along with error checking for packets.
- Data Link Layer provides identifiers for the next hop on the network.
Addressing in Network Communications
- Communication requires two addresses: a source and a destination address.
- Only four pairs of addresses are typically used across the layers, as the Physical Layer does not require addressing for data bits.
Physical Layer Functions
- Responsible for transmitting bits across the physical link, operating alongside an "invisible" hidden layer, often not directly interacting with each other.
TCP/IP Layered Architecture
- Identical objects are categorized into various forms (e.g., messages, segments, packets).
- Data objects are defined for each layer in the TCP/IP model.
- Application Layer deals with messages, Transport Layer handles segments/user datagrams, Network Layer manages packets/datagrams, Data Link Layer processes frames, and Physical Layer works with bits.
Major Protocols in TCP/IP
- Application Layer includes protocols like HTTP, SMTP, FTP, and DNS.
- Transport Layer features TCP and UDP.
- Network Layer uses IP, IPv6, and ARP.
- Data Link Layer includes Ethernet and WiFi protocols.
- Physical Layer handles Ethernet PHY specifications.
TCP/IP Layer & Addressing Relationship
- Addresses vary by layer: Application Layer uses specific protocol addresses, Port Numbers are used in Transport Layer, while IP Addresses are found in the Network Layer.
- Physical addresses (e.g., MAC addresses) are utilized in the Data Link Layer.
OSI Reference Model
- Developed by the International Organization for Standards (ISO), featuring seven layers.
- Introduced in the 1970s to standardize networking components.
Protocol Layering Advantages
- Separating tasks enhances flexibility in machine selection for tasks.
- Intermediate communication can occur without utilizing all layers, simplifying network management.
- Replacing processes can be limited to affected layers without overhauling the entire system.
Principles of Protocol Layering
- Each layer must perform dual tasks for successful communication.
- Data objects at corresponding layers should be identical to maintain consistency.
TCP/IP Protocol Suite Overview
- A critical set of communication protocols used by the internet, named for its pivotal protocols: Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) and Internet Protocol (IP).
- Sometimes called the DoD model due to development funding from DARPA, part of the U.S. Department of Defense.
- TCP/IP specifies data should be formatted, addressed, transmitted, routed, and received effectively.
TCP/IP Connections and Layers
- Conceptualizing TCP/IP functions as an assembly line can clarify the layered process and the logical connections between them.
- Each layer does not communicate directly but is conceptualized to work through logical connections and defined protocols.
