Study Notes
Standardization Organizations
- IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers): Focuses on standardizing LAN technologies, contributing to Ethernet (802.3), token-ring (802.5), and Wireless LANs (802.11).
- ANSI (American National Standards Institute): Composed of industry and government representatives, defining standards for various fields, notably ASCII (American Standard for Code Information Interchange) and SCSI (Small Computer System Interface).
- EIA (Electronic Industries Alliance): A trade organization within the US, focusing on standards that promote the growth of computer and electronic industries.
- TIA (Telecommunications Industry Association): Establishes standards for IT, wireless, satellite, fiber optics, and telephone equipment. Well-known for the "TIA/EIA 568 – B Series" guidelines for network cable installation in commercial buildings.
- IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force): Shapes the development of the Internet and standardizes internetworking technologies.
- ISOC (Internet Society): Oversees the overall development of the Internet.
- IESG (Internet Engineering Steering Group): Manages the introduction and update process for Internet standards, under the guidance of ISOC.
- IAB (Internet Architecture Board): Serves as a technology advisor to ISOC, responsible for developing protocols and architecture for the Internet.
- IANA (Internet Assigned Numbers Authority): Manages Internet naming and addressing, including IP addresses.
- ISO (International Organization for Standardization): Develops a wide range of standards, many relevant to networking.
Application Layer Protocols
- SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol): Uses TCP/IP for the reliable and efficient transfer of emails over the internet.
- POP3 (Post Office Protocol, version 3): A TCP/IP protocol allowing workstations to retrieve mail stored by the server.
- TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol): A simple alternative to FTP, utilizing UDP to transfer files between systems.
- FTP (File Transfer Protocol): Uses TCP to enable the sharing of programs and data between hosts across a TCP/IP network. It establishes a virtual connection for control information and a separate one for data transfer.
- NFS (Network File System): A TCP/IP protocol facilitating the mounting of drives on remote hosts, making them accessible as if they were local.
- DNS (Domain Name System): Converts domain names and publicly advertised network nodes into IP addresses for internet use.
- SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol): Manages and monitors the exchange of management information between networks and components. Enables network administrators to handle configurations, gather statistics, track network performance, and manage security.
- Telnet (Terminal Emulation Protocol Network): A TCP/IP protocol utilizing TCP to establish a connection between server and client. Uses a daemon (remote host) and virtual terminal (VTY) connections.
- rlogin (Remote login application): A UNIX command allowing authorized users to log in to other UNIX machines on a network, interacting as if physically present. Enables various actions based on host permissions.
- HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol): Supports the exchange of information on the World Wide Web and internal networks. Developed by the IETF.
- HTTPS (Hypertext Transfer Protocol over Secure Socket Layer): A secure message-oriented protocol designed for HTTP use.
- SSL (Secure Sockets Layer): A security protocol working at the socket level, placed between TCP and the application layer to encrypt/decode data and authenticate entities.
### TCP and UDP Connections
- TCP (Transmission Control Protocol): A connection-oriented TCP/IP transport layer protocol. Provides reliable data delivery, duplicate data suppression, congestion control, and flow control, essential for many application protocols.
- UDP (User Datagram Protocol): A connectionless TCP/IP transport layer protocol. Offers unreliable, best-effort service. Sends independent packets of data called datagrams without delivery guarantees.
### Port Numbers
- Port Number Range: 0 to 65,535, representing 16-bit numbers.
- Well-known Ports: Numbers 0 to 1023 are reserved for services like HTTP, FTP, and other critical system services.
### TCP Connection Establishment (Three-Way Handshake)
- SYN (Synchronize): The initiator sends a SYN packet to the receiver, requesting a connection.
- SYN-ACK (Synchronize-Acknowledge): The receiver responds with a SYN-ACK packet, acknowledging the request and signaling its readiness for connection.
- ACK (Acknowledge): The initiator sends an ACK packet, confirming the receiver's response and establishing the connection.
### TCP Communication
- Sequence Numbers and Acknowledgment Numbers: Used to ensure reliable and ordered data transmission.
- Window Sliding Mechanism: Controls data transmission speed by requiring acknowledgments from the receiver after transmitting a certain number of data packets.
### TCP Connection Termination (Four-Way Handshake)
- Used to disconnect the TCP connection and release system resources after data transmission is complete.
