Study Notes
- Networking can be thought of as a road system, with various network types serving as different roads.
- Internet Protocol (IP) acts as the moving truck, responsible for efficiently transporting data between points on the network.
- Data is encapsulated inside IP packets, each with an IP header and IP payload.
- Transport Protocols like TCP and UDP are inside the IP payload, responsible for adding additional capabilities to IP.
- TCP is a connection-oriented protocol, offering reliable delivery, flow control, and reordering of messages.
- UDP is a connectionless protocol, sending data without acknowledgement or flow control, making it ideal for real-time communication.
- IP addresses function as unique mailing addresses for computers on a network, with IP delivery trucks moving data between them.
- Port numbers determine the application or room inside a server that will receive the data.
- Protocols like DHCP and TFTP use UDP for simple, connectionless communication, while HTTPS, SSH use TCP for reliable data transfer.
