Study Notes
- The text uses the metaphor of moving a box from one place to another to explain the concept of data transfer in networking.
- The network is compared to a road, and Internet Protocol (IP) is compared to a moving truck that efficiently transports data between locations.
- Data is encapsulated within IP, which can be thought of as a box inside the moving truck.
- The information inside the box belongs to a specific application or function on the network.
- The client and server are compared to the sender and receiver of the box, and the ethernet packet is compared to the entire moving truck.
- Internet Protocol (IP), Transmission Control Protocol (TCP), and User Datagram Protocol (UDP) are compared to different types of moving trucks and their respective roles in transporting data.
- TCP is a connection-oriented protocol with reliable delivery, which ensures data is received and in order, and manages the flow of communication between devices.
- UDP is a connectionless protocol with unreliable delivery, which simply sends data without acknowledgement and no flow control.
- Both TCP and UDP are encapsulated within IP packets and used to move data across the network.
- TCP adds features such as reordering and retransmitting packets, while UDP is used for real-time communication where quick transmission is more important than guaranteed delivery.
- Protocols like DHCP and TFTP use UDP for their transport mechanism, while HTTPS, SSH use TCP for their secure communication.
- When data reaches the destination IP address, a port number determines which application or room in the house receives the data.
