    Study Notes

    Telecommunication Standards and Protocol Models

    • The International Telecommunications Union (ITU) focuses on video compression, IPTV, and broadband communication standards.
    • OSI Reference Model is divided into seven layers: Application, Presentation, Session, Transport, Network, Data Link, and Physical.
    • TCP/IP Protocol Model, developed in the early 1970s, is streamlined with only four layers: Application, Transport, Internet, and Network Access.

    OSI Model Layers

    • Application Layer: Manages process-to-process communication.
    • Presentation Layer: Ensures data is represented in a common format.
    • Session Layer: Handles dialogue management and data exchange.
    • Transport Layer: Segments data for transfer and reassembly.
    • Network Layer: Routes individual data pieces across the network.
    • Data Link Layer: Manages exchanges of data frames over the physical medium.
    • Physical Layer: Covers the mechanical and electrical means of transmitting bits.

    TCP/IP Model Comparison

    • TCP/IP merges the OSI’s Application layer and Network Access layer, simplifying the model.
    • The model is open standard and facilitates internetwork communications.

    Physical Media

    • Types of physical media include copper wires, optical fibers, and wireless signals such as radio and microwaves.
    • Copper media characteristics include attenuation, limited distance, susceptibility to interference (EMI/RFI), and crosstalk.

    Types of Copper Cables

    • Unshielded Twisted-Pair (UTP) Cable: Most common, uses RJ-45 connectors, susceptible to EMI.
    • Shielded Twisted-Pair (STP) Cable: Offers better protection against interference; more expensive and difficult to install.
    • Coaxial Cable: Utilizes a copper conductor for signal transmission.

    Throughput and Goodput

    • Throughput: Measures bit transfer rate; typically less than specified due to network factors.
    • Goodput: Accounts for the effective data transfer rate, excluding overhead from protocol operations.

    Data Handling in Networking

    • Message Segmentation: Large data streams are broken down into smaller segments for transmission.
    • Encapsulation Process: Data layers encapsulate as they move down the protocol stack, changing into respective Protocol Data Units (PDUs): Data (Application), Segment (Transport), Packet (Network), Frame (Data Link), and Bits (Physical).
    • De-encapsulation: The reverse process during data reception to extract the original data from headers.

    Addressing in Networks

    • Data Link Addresses (MAC): Facilitate delivery of frames between devices on the same network.
    • Network Addresses (IP): Indicate the original source and final destination of packets, comprising network and host portions.

    Communication Protocols

    • Essential for effective communication, protocols ensure identified senders and receivers, common formatting, and acknowledgment processes.
    • Include rules for message encoding, delivery options, timing, and message size.

    Flow Control and Access Methods

    • Hosts must manage message timing and respond correctly during collisions.
    • Flow control techniques prevent overwhelming the receiving host and negotiate data transfer rates.

    Summary of Communication Components

    • Essential elements of any communication: sender, receiver, media, and protocols governing interaction.
    • Common requirements include message timing, size, formatting, and delivery acknowledgment.
