ip address | address used to identify computers on the internet |
iana | group that kept records of available and reserved ip addresses.determined how addresses were doled out |
rir | manages the distribution of ip addresses to private and public entities |
icann | responsible for ip addressing and domain management |
isp provider | business that provides organizations and individuals with access to the internet |
an isp in turn arranges with its rir | for the right to use certain ip addresses on its network |
regional internet registries | arin apnic ripe |
the rir obtains the rights to dole out | addresses from icann |
the rir coordinates with iana to ensure that | the addresses are associated with devices connected to the isp's network |
osi | open systems interconnection model |
physical | level one |
data link | level two |
network | level three |
transport | level four |
session | level five |
presentation | level six |
application | level seven |
application layer | protocols interact with the software used,email |
physical layer | services act on the networking cables and connectors to issue and receive signals |
protocols | rules by which computers communicate |
osi model | theoretical representation of what happens between two nodes communicating on a network |
osi model | does not prescribe the type of hardware or software that should support each layer |
application layer | protocol data units |
application layer | seperates data into discrete amounts of data |
application layer | facilites communication between software applications and lower layer network services |
application layer | network interprets application request |
application layer | application interprets data sent from the network |
application layer protocol | http |
application programming interface | set of routines that make up part of the software |
presentation layer | translator |
presentation layer | data and format it so that one type of application and host can understand data from another host |
presentation layer | manage data encryption and decryption |
session layer | coordinate and maintain communication between two nodes on the network |
session | refers to the connection for ongoing data exchange between two parties |
session layer | if connection is lost it will try to reconnect |
session layer | ensures only authorized nodes can acces the session |
presentation layer | secure sockets layer, gif,jpg,mpeg,quick time |
transport layer | ensures data is delivered from point a to point b |
transport layer | manages end to end delivery of data in correct sequence with no errors |
transport layer | services needed in order to have data verified or interpreted by its recipient |
transport layer | flow control |
node | any device connected to the network |
flow control | process of gauging the appropriate rate of transmission based on how fast the recipient can receive data |
transport layer protocols | ensure data arrives exactly as it was sent |
transport layer protocols | tcp |
three way handshake | syn packet- syn-ack - ack |
connection oriented | establish connection before transmit |
syn packet | requests connection |
syn ack | confirms it is willing to connect |
ack | client responds data was delivered |
three way handshake | connection established |
a connection oriented protocol | expects a confirmation for every data unit a node sends |
if no confirmation is received | client assumes data was not sent and resends |
check sum | a character string that allows the receiving node to determine the data unit matches the source |
connectionless protocols | used when need to transfer data quickly |
connectionless protocols | no data verification process |
connectionless protocols | used for live video or video transmission |
connectionless protocols | unreliable,do not establish a connection before sending data |
transport layer protocols | break down large units of data received from the session layer into smaller units called segments |
transport layer protocols | perform a discovery routine upon establishing a connection in order to determine a networks mtu |
transport layer | performs segmentation,reassembly and sequencing methods |
transport functions | accept data from session |
transport functions | manage end to end delivery |
transport functions | handle flow control |
sequencing | method of identifying segments that belong to the same group of subdivided data |
network layer | translate network address into their physical counterparts and decided how to route data from sender to receiver |
addressing | system for assigning unique identification numbers to devices on the network |
network layer addresses | logical and virtual |
hierarchial addressing scheme | contain subsets of data that incrementally narrows down the location of the node |
network layer | the data unit becomes a packet |
logical address | network address |
network address | a unique identifying number for a network node that turns the data into a packet |
virtual address | network address |
routing | determing the best path |
routers | devices that connect network segments and direct data |
network layer protocol | internet protocol |
accomplished the same task at the network layer that segmentation performs at the transport layer | fragmentation |
fragmentation | subdivides the segments it receives from the transport layer into smaller packets |
time to live | mechanism that limits the lifespan or lifetime of data in a computer or network. |
IP | protocol that instructs the network where the http request is coming from and going |
mtu | maximum transmission unit |
mtu | largest data unit network will carry |
differentiated services code point pg.51 | defines the way routers should queue packets while they are waiting to be forwarded |
identification (data packet) pg.51 | 16-bit number which together with the source address uniquely identifies this packet - used during reassembly of fragmented datagrams) |
flags pg.51 | (a sequence of three flags (one of the 4 bits is unused) used to control whether routers are allowed to fragment a packet (i.e. the Don't Fragment, DF, flag), and to indicate the parts of a packet to the receiver) |
Fragmentation Offset pg.51 | a byte count from the start of the original sent packet, set by any router which performs IP router fragmentation |
time to live pg.51 | Number of hops /links which the packet may be routed over, decremented by most routers - used to prevent accidental routing loops |
Protocol in an ip packet pg.51 | Service Access Point (SAP) which indicates the type of transport packet being carried (e.g. 1 = ICMP; 2= IGMP; 6 = TCP; 17= UDP). |
header checksum | (A 1's complement checksum inserted by the sender and updated whenever the packet header is modified by a router - |
header checksum | Used to detect processing errors introduced into the packet inside a router or bridge where the packet is not protected by a link layer cyclic redundancy check. Packets with an invalid checksum are discarded by all nodes in an IP network) |
physical address | mac address |
types of address | physical network |
quality of service | an example , some packets may require faster more reliable delivery |
frame | structured package for moving data that includes not only the raw data,the senders and receivers network address,error checking and control info |
data link layer | divide data they receive from the network layer into distinct frames that can be transmitted by the physical layer |
address | tells the network where to deliver the frame |
data link protocol | find out that information has been dropped and asks the first computer to retransmit the message |
process of error checking | find out that information has been dropped and asks the first computer to retransmit the message |
frame check sequence field | purpose is to ensure that the data at the destination exactly match the data issued from the source |
cyclic redundancy check | takes the values of all the preceding fields in the frame and generates a unique 4 byte number the fcs |
