Study Notes
Internet of Things (IoT)
- Aims to connect all devices to the existing internet infrastructure
- Enables devices with sensors to collect and send data to the internet
- Examples of devices: coffee maker, AC, washing machine, ceiling fan, lights
- Practical applications: smart homes, smart cities, energy management, environment monitoring, healthcare
Transport Layer
- TCP (Transmission Control Protocol): • Reliable (acknowledgement) • Connection-oriented (synchronization) • Full duplex • Error control (error checking with checksum) • Data-recovery features • Used for: e-mail, file sharing, downloading
- UDP (User Datagram Protocol): • Unreliable (best-effort delivery) • Connectionless (no notification) • Full duplex • Performs very limited error checking • No data-recovery features • Used for: voice streaming, video streaming
Transport Layer Addressing (Port Numbers)
- Port numbers controlled by ICANN
- Well-known ports are permanent and used for specific services
Network Access Layer
- Physical Layer: • Defines electrical, mechanical, and transmission medium • Responsible for moving individual bits from one node to the next
- Datalink Layer: • Provides logical interface between end system and network • Error notification (frames, media access control) • Hop-to-hop addressing • Error detection mechanism (detects damaged or lost frames)
Physical Addresses (MAC)
- Burned on the network interface card (NIC)
- Unique address worldwide
- 48-bit (6-byte) address written as 12 hexadecimal digits
- Separated by a colon (:) between each byte
- Types of physical addresses: unicast, multicast, broadcast
Internet/Network Protocol Layer (IP Layer)
- Provides connectivity and path selection between two hosts
- Routing of data between independent networks
- Logical addressing using IPv4 and IPv6
Internet Protocol (IP V4)
- Uniquely identifies each device on an IP network
- Low speed
- Under ISP administrative control
- Example of a WAN (Wide Area Network) is the Internet
Internet
- Defined as a global mesh of interconnected networks
- No single owner of the Internet
- Multiple organizations, ISPs, companies, and governments own pieces of Internet infrastructure
- Organizations involved in Internet governance: ISOC, IETF, ICANN
Network Models
- Peer-to-Peer Networks: • No dedicated resources • Easy to work with • All nodes are equal
- Client-Server Networks: • Dedicated nodes (servers) provide services to other nodes (clients) • Server is more powerful • Examples of servers: mail server, web server, file server, print server
Protocols
- Why we need protocols: • To communicate efficiently • To enable data flow from one NIC to another • To control messages and message quantity in the network
- OSI Reference Model: • Defined by ISO in 1983 • Provides universal concepts for developers • Breaks down the approach into layers
TCP/IP Protocol Suite
- Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol
- Open standard protocol
- Cross-platform (default protocol for modern operating systems)
- Not tied to one vendor
- Direct access to the Internet
- Routable
- TCP/IP is the internet protocol (currently using v4, with v6 as the next version)
