Network #9 [L3]
From 4.1
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Host | Any device that has an IP address. Host has TCP/IP network stack and can handle TCP/IP services. They are computing devices and can be servers/clients |
| Network layer | Controls the transportation of individual packets going from the source host to the destination host. PDU - Packet. Address - Logical address / IP address |
| Internet Protocol(IP) address | A unique address that identifies a host/device on the internet or a local network. IPv4 is 32 bit, 2³² |
| Packetizing | Encapsulation and decapsulation in network layer PDU |
| Packet Switching | The router is a switch that creates a connection between an input and output port. In TCP/IP model, network layer provides a connectionless service. Each pack is treated independently |
| Router | A physical or virtual internetworking device that forwards data packets between computer networks. Connects two incompatible networks |
| Regional Internet Registry | Allocates unique IP addresses to organizations |
| IPv4 addressing notations | Dotted Decimal notation, IPv4 subnet masks, and Classless Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR) |
| Classful Addressing | IP addressing method that categorizes IP addresses into fixed classes (A, B, C, etc.) with default subnet masks |
| Subnetting | subnetworks. All subnets have sizes in power of 2 (4, 8, 16, etc). It increases security, performance, and simplifies troubleshooting |
| Dotted Decimal notation | Decimal numbers separated by dots (128.11.3.31) |
| IPv4 subnet masks | Used to divide an IP address into two parts, one part identifies the host, the other identifies the network it belongs to. Written in dotted decimal notation (255.255.255.0) |
| Classless Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR) | Represents IP addresses along with a suffix at the end specifying the network prefix length (192.168.1.1/24) |
| Information Extraction in Classless addressing | 1. Number of address in the block 2. First address of the block (aka Subnet ID) 3. Last address of the block (aka Broadcast address for the subnet) |
