Study Notes
Principles of Communications
- Protocols are sets of rules governing data transmission between devices on a network, facilitating communication despite differing internal designs.
- Internet standards ensure consistency in the implementation of protocols across devices connecting to a network.
- The Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) develops voluntary Internet standards for effective communication.
Key Protocols
- TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) is the primary suite of communication protocols for networking devices on the Internet.
- The OSI (Open Systems Interconnection) model, created by ISO, serves as a conceptual framework for enabling diverse communication systems to interact using standard protocols.
Elements of Communication
- Effective communication consists of three main elements:
- Message Source/Sender: Initiates communication to another party, either human or electronic.
- Message Size: Specifies rules on data size during transmission, often requiring lengthy messages to be segmented for reliability.
- Encapsulation: Adding a header to messages that include addressing info ensures delivery to the right destination.
- Message Format: Each message must adhere to a specific structure based on the type and communication channel used.
- Message Pattern: Some protocols require acknowledgment for sent messages before proceeding, while others can transmit data continuously without confirmation.
Importance of Standards
- Standards in networking provide uniform rules, allowing various devices to communicate effectively.
- Layered models (like TCP/IP) illustrate operational protocols, emphasizing the benefits such as protocol design clarity, competition facilitation, and technology adaptability.
Types of Network Models
- Protocol Models: Match a specific protocol suite structure like TCP/IP, detailing functions at each layer.
- Reference Models: Describe necessary functions at various layers without detailing operational specifics, aiding in network communication understanding (e.g., OSI model).
OSI Model Layers
- Physical Layer: Involves the hardware aspects of data transmission.
- Data Link Layer: Coordinates data frame exchanges over a shared medium.
- Network Layer: Facilitates data piece exchange between end devices.
- Transport Layer: Manages segmenting, transferring, and reassembling data.
- Session Layer: Organizes dialogue and data management between applications.
- Presentation Layer: Standardizes data representation for application layer services.
- Application Layer: Ensures end-to-end connectivity for users via data networks.
Task Division in Networking
- Breaking down network communication into OSI model layers simplifies troubleshooting by isolating specific tasks, similar to assembly processes in manufacturing.
OSI vs. TCP/IP Model
- Learning OSI model complements understanding TCP/IP by detailing general communication functions beyond just Internet protocol specifics.
- OSI layers provide procedures for physical media access and signal encoding, enhancing comprehension of the TCP/IP suite functionalities.
Ethernet and Standardization
- Proprietary methods once dominated networking, hindering equipment compatibility across vendors.
- Development of standards like Ethernet allowed interoperability among devices from different manufacturers, promoting effective communication within networks.
