Study Notes
Module Objectives
- Understanding of network protocols and their role in enabling device communication.
- Importance of rules for successful communication between devices.
- Necessity of adhering to protocol suites for interoperability.
- Role of standards organizations in protocol establishment.
- Functionality of TCP/IP and OSI models in communication standardization.
- Concept of data encapsulation for data transportation across networks.
- Accessing local resources on a network by local hosts.
The Rules
-
Communication requires a source (sender), destination (receiver), and channel (media).
-
Protocols are essential rules governing communication, varying by type.
-
Protocol establishment must address:
- Identified sender and receiver.
- Common language and grammar.
- Speed and timing of delivery.
- Confirmation or acknowledgment requirements.
-
Key protocols include:
- HTTP: Defines interaction between web servers and clients, focusing on content and format.
- TCP: Guarantees delivery and manages individual conversations and flow control.
- IP: Responsible for global message delivery between sender and receiver.
- Ethernet: Facilitates message delivery between NICs within a local area network.
Protocol Suites
- Protocol suites consist of interrelated protocols working together for specific communication functions.
- Higher and lower layers in protocol suites exist, with lower layers focusing on data movement and upper layers on service provision.
- Notable protocol suites include:
- TCP/IP: Most common suite used on the internet, managed by IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force).
- OSI protocols: Developed by ISO and ITU, providing a framework for networking.
- AppleTalk: Proprietary suite by Apple Inc.
- Novell NetWare: Proprietary suite developed by Novell Inc.
Reference Models
- Layered models facilitate protocol design and interoperability between vendor products.
- OSI Model comprises seven layers, detailing specific functions from the application layer to the physical layer.
- TCP/IP Model is simplified, comprising four layers focusing on user data representation, transport, internet routing, and network hardware control.
- OSI layers 1 and 2 handle media access procedures and physical data transmission, while TCP/IP addresses physical medium without specific protocol requirements.
Data Encapsulation
- Segmenting: Breaking messages into smaller units for efficient transmission.
- Sequencing: Numbering segments for proper reassembly; managed by TCP.
- Encapsulation: Addition of protocol information to data at each stage, altering the name of the Protocol Data Units (PDUs).
- PDUs include: Data (data streams), Segment, Packet, Frame, Bits (bit stream).
Data Access
- Addressing is critical at both the data link and network layers to ensure data delivery.
- Local Devices: Devices on the same network share similar address portions.
- Remote Devices: For devices on different networks, a default gateway (router) directs traffic to other networks, facilitating inter-network communication.
- Network layer identifies the local default gateway's IP to enable access to remote destinations.
