Study Notes
Understanding Internet Protocol (IP) and its role in networking
- IP is a set of rules for routing and addressing data packets across networks
- Each device or domain connected to the Internet is assigned a unique IP address
- IP packets contain information about both the sender and recipient IP addresses
- TCP and UDP are the most common transport protocols used with IP
- Protocols are necessary to ensure standardized communication between devices
- IPv4 is the most widely used version of IP, but its supply of available addresses is running out
- IPv6 has more permutations but is not yet fully adopted
- IP headers contain information about packet data and sender/receiver IP addresses
- The Internet is made up of interconnected autonomous systems (AS) responsible for certain blocks of IP addresses
- Routing protocols like BGP help route packets across ASes based on destination IP addresses
- TCP is a reliable transport protocol that establishes a connection with the recipient and ensures all packets arrive in order
- UDP is a faster transport protocol but is less reliable and doesn't establish a connection before transmitting data.
