It is not enough to have a connection, devices must agree on “how” to communicate. There are three elements to any communication: There will be a source (sender). There will be a destination (receiver). There will be a channel (media) that provides for the path of communications to occur. © 2019 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. Cisco Confidential 5 Official (Open) The Rules Communications Protocols All communications are governed by protocols. Protocols are the rules that communications will follow. These rules will vary depending on the protocol. © 2019 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved.

All rights reserved. Cisco Confidential 9 Official (Open) The Rules Message Encoding Encoding is the process of converting information into another acceptable form for transmission. Decoding reverses this process to interpret the information. © 2019 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. Cisco Confidential 10 Official (Open) The Rules Message Formatting and Encapsulation When a message is sent, it must use a specific format or structure. Message formats depend on the type of message and the channel that is used to deliver the message. © 2019 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. Cisco Confidential 11 Official (Open) The Rules Message Size Encoding between hosts must be in an appropriate format for the medium. Messages sent across the network are converted to bits The bits are encoded into a pattern of light, sound, or electrical impulses. The destination host must decode the signals to interpret the message. © 2019 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. Cisco Confidential 12 Official (Open) The Rules Message Timing Message timing includes the following: Flow Control – Manages the rate of data transmission and defines how much information can be sent and the speed at which it can be delivered. Response Timeout – Manages how long a device waits when it does not hear a reply from the destination. Access method - Determines when someone can send a message. There may be various rules governing issues like “collisions”. This is when more than one device sends traffic at the same time and the messages become corrupt. Some protocols are proactive and attempt to prevent collisions; other protocols are reactive and establish a recovery method after the collision occurs. © 2019 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. Cisco Confidential 13 Official (Open) The Rules Message Delivery Options Message delivery may one of the following methods: Unicast – one to one communication Multicast – one to many, typically not all Broadcast – one to all Note: Broadcasts are used in IPv4 networks, but are not an option for IPv6. Later we will also see “Anycast” as an additional delivery option for IPv6. © 2019 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved.

Protocol suite: A group of inter-related protocols necessary to perform a communication function Sets of rules that work together to help solve a problem The protocols are viewed in terms of layers: Higher Layers Lower Layers- concerned with moving data and provide services to upper layers © 2019 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. Cisco Confidential 21 Official (Open) Protocol Suites Evolution of Protocol Suites There are several protocol suites. Internet Protocol Suite or TCP/IP- The most common protocol suite and maintained by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) protocols- Developed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) AppleTalk- Proprietary suite release by Apple Inc. Novell NetWare- Proprietary suite developed by Novell Inc. © 2019 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. Cisco Confidential 22 Official (Open) Protocol Suites TCP/IP Protocol Example TCP/IP protocols operate at the application, transport, and internet layers. The most common network access layer LAN protocols are Ethernet and WLAN (wireless LAN). © 2019 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved.

Cisco Confidential 26 Official (Open) Reference Models The Benefits of Using a Layered Model Complex concepts such as how a network operates can be difficult to explain and understand. For this reason, a layered model is used. Two layered models describe network operations: Open System Interconnection (OSI) Reference Model TCP/IP Reference Model © 2019 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. Cisco Confidential 27 Official (Open) Reference Models The Benefits of Using a Layered Model (Cont.) These are the benefits of using a layered model: Assist in protocol design because protocols that operate at a specific layer have defined information that they act upon and a defined interface to the layers above and below Foster competition because products from different vendors can work together Prevent technology or capability changes in one layer from affecting other layers above and below Provide a common language to describe networking functions and capabilities © 2019 Cisco and/or its affiliates.

Transport Supports communication between various devices across diverse networks. Internet Determines the best path through the network. Network Access Controls the hardware devices and media that make up the network. © 2019 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. Cisco Confidential 30 Official (Open) Reference Models OSI and TCP/IP Model Comparison The OSI model divides the network access layer and the application layer of the TCP/IP model into multiple layers. The TCP/IP protocol suite does not specify which protocols to use when transmitting over a physical medium. OSI Layers 1 and 2 discuss the necessary procedures to access the media and the physical means to send data over a network. © 2019 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved.

Cisco Confidential 32 Official (Open) Data Encapsulation Encapsulation is the process where protocols Protocol Data Units add their information to the data. At each stage of the process, a PDU has a different name to reflect its new functions. There is no universal naming convention for PDUs, in this course, the PDUs are named according to the protocols of the TCP/IP suite. PDUs passing down the stack are as follows: 1. Data (Data Stream) 2. Segment 3. Packet 4. Frame 5. Bits (Bit Stream) © 2019 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. Cisco Confidential 33 Official (Open) Data Encapsulation Encapsulation Example Encapsulation is a top down process. The level above does its process and then passes it down to the next level of the model. This process is repeated by each layer until it is sent out as a bit stream. © 2019 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. Cisco Confidential 34 Official (Open) Data Encapsulation De-encapsulation Example Data is de-encapsulated as it moves up the stack. When a layer completes its process, that layer strips off its header and passes it up to the next level to be processed. This is repeated at each layer until it is a data stream that the application can process. 1. Received as Bits (Bit Stream) 2. Frame 3. Packet 4. Segment 5.

Cisco Confidential 36 Official (Open) Data Access Addresses Both the data link and network layers use addressing to deliver data from source to destination. Network layer source and destination addresses - Responsible for delivering the IP packet from original source to the final destination. Data link layer source and destination addresses – Responsible for delivering the data link frame from one network interface card (NIC) to another NIC on the same network. © 2019 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. Cisco Confidential 37 Official (Open) Data Access Layer 3 Logical Address The IP packet contains two IP addresses: Source IP address - The IP address of the sending device, original source of the packet. Destination IP address - The IP address of the receiving device, final destination of the packet. These addresses may be on the same link or remote. © 2019 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. Cisco Confidential 38 Official (Open) Data Access Layer 3 Logical Address (Cont.) An IP address contains two parts: Network portion (IPv4) or Prefix (IPv6) The left-most part of the address indicates the network group which the IP address is a member. Each LAN or WAN will have the same network portion. Host portion (IPv4) or Interface ID (IPv6) The remaining part of the address identifies a specific device within the group. This portion is unique for each device on the network. © 2019 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. Cisco Confidential 39 Official (Open) Data Access Devices on the Same Network When devices are on the same network the source and destination will have the same number in network portion of the address.

Cisco Confidential 40 Official (Open) Data Access Role of the Data Link Layer Addresses: Same IP Network When devices are on the same Ethernet network the data link frame will use the actual MAC address of the destination NIC. MAC addresses are physically embedded into the Ethernet NIC and are local addressing. The Source MAC address will be that of the originator on the link. The Destination MAC address will always be on the same link as the source, even if the ultimate destination is remote. © 2019 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. Cisco Confidential 41 Official (Open) Data Access Devices on a Remote Network What happens when the actual (ultimate) destination is not on the same LAN and is remote? What happens when PC1 tries to reach the Web Server? Does this impact the network and data link layers? © 2019 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. Cisco Confidential 42 Official (Open) Data Access Role of the Network Layer Addresses When the source and destination have a different network portion, this means they are on different networks. PC1 – 192.168.1 Web Server – 172.16.1 © 2019 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. Cisco Confidential 43 Official (Open) Data Access Role of the Data Link Layer Addresses: Different IP Networks When the final destination is remote, Layer 3 will provide Layer 2 with the local default gateway IP address, also known as the router address. The default gateway (DGW) is the router interface IP address that is part of this LAN and will be the “door” or “gateway” to all other remote locations. All devices on the LAN must be told about this address or their traffic will be confined to the LAN only. Once Layer 2 on PC1 forwards to the default gateway (Router), the router then can start the routing process of getting the information to actual destination. © 2019 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. Cisco Confidential 44 Official (Open) Data Access Role of the Data Link Layer Addresses: Different IP Networks (Cont.) The data link addressing is local addressing so it will have a source and destination for each link. The MAC addressing for the first segment is : Source – AA-AA-AA-AA-AA-AA (PC1) Sends the frame. Destination – 11-11-11-11-11-11 (R1- Default Gateway MAC) Receives the frame. Note: While the L2 local addressing will change from link to link or hop to hop, the L3 addressing remains the same. © 2019 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. Cisco Confidential 45 Official (Open) Data Access Data Link Addresses Since data link addressing is local addressing, it will have a source and destination for each segment or hop of the journey to the destination. The MAC addressing for the first segment is: Source – (PC1 NIC) sends frame Destination – (First Router- DGW interface) receives frame © 2019 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. Cisco Confidential 46 Official (Open) Data Access Data Link Addresses (Cont.) The MAC addressing for the second hop is: Source – (First Router- exit interface) sends frame Destination – (Second Router) receives frame © 2019 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. Cisco Confidential 47 Official (Open) Data Access Data Link Addresses (Cont.) The MAC addressing for the last segment is: Source – (Second Router- exit interface) sends frame Destination – (Web Server NIC) receives frame © 2019 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. Cisco Confidential 48 Official (Open) Data Access Data Link Addresses (Cont.) Notice that the packet is not modified, but the frame is changed, therefore the L3 IP addressing does not change from segment to segment like the L2 MAC addressing. The L3 addressing remains the same since it is global and the ultimate destination is still the Web Server. © 2019 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. Cisco Confidential 49
