Study Notes
- Internet traffic travels through cables and wireless technologies.
- A protocol is an agreed method of communication between two devices.
- Types of protocols: HTTP, SMTP, VoIP, IP, TCP and FTP.
- Different protocols work together to successfully accomplish a task.
IP (Internet Protocol)
- When a computer logs onto a network, it is given an IP address.
- Each computer on the internet has at least one unique IP address.
- Messages intended for a specific device are sent to the correct IP address.
- IP addresses can be dynamic (changeable) and static.
TCP (Transmission Control Protocol)
- Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) is a standard defining how to establish and maintain a network conversation for applications to exchange data.
- TCP works with IP to establish connections between devices and enables data sending and receiving using packets.
- TCP and IP are the basic rules that define the Internet.
How TCP/IP Works
- Connection is established through a three-way handshake.
- Enables sending of data packets.
- Allows closing the connection.
TCP/IP
- TCP/IP uses packet switching, a philosophy of network communication.
- TCP/IP breaks down data into small pieces called packets.
- Each packet contains the IP address of the sender, the IP address of the receiver, and a piece of data being sent.
Packet Switching
- Packet switching is the transfer of small data pieces across networks, enabling faster and more efficient transfer.
SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol)
- The Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) is an Internet standard communication protocol used for electronic mail transmission.
VoIP (Voice Over Internet Protocol)
- Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) is a technology that allows making voice calls by using a broadband Internet connection instead of a regular (analog) phone line.
Other Protocols
- Bluetooth is used for exchanging data between low-power devices within a short range.
- AppleTalk is a protocol for transferring small amounts of data across a network, developed by Apple Inc.
- NFC (Near-Field Communication) is a set of protocols enabling communication between two electronic devices over a distance of 4 cm or less.
- UDP (User Datagram Protocol) is used to establish low-latency and loss-tolerating connections between applications on the internet and is quicker but less secure than TCP.
