Study Notes
- Networking metaphor: Internet Protocol (IP) acts as a moving truck transporting data packages across a network.
- Each data package contains specific information for an application or network function.
- IP has no knowledge of the contents inside the packages, only that it efficiently moves them between points.
- TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) and UDP (User Datagram Protocol) are two common protocols used in data transportation.
- TCP is a connection-oriented protocol, ensuring reliable delivery and managing flow control, while UDP is connectionless and unreliable.
- DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) and TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol) are examples of protocols using UDP for quick and simple data transfer.
- HTTPS, SSH, and other applications use TCP to ensure data integrity and handle missing packets automatically.
- Each IP address on a network represents a unique physical location for data delivery.
- Port numbers determine the application or room inside the server or client that will receive the data upon delivery.
