accronym for OSI 7 layer model
All People Seem To Need Data Processing
the application layer does not contain applications itself such as a web browser, instead it will ___________________ each on separate computers
describes the interface between 2 computers
Application layer protocols fall into one of 2 categories. they will either provide ________ or __________ for a user
application or utilities
this is a program that monitors and gathers information about network traffic and can alert network administrators about adverse conditions that need attention
simple network management protocol SNMP
Responsible for reformatting, compressing, and encrypting data in a way that the application on the receiving end can read
presentation layer
Describes how data between applications is synced and recovered of messages don’t arrive intact at the receiving application
session layer
An access point into a software available processes such as a specific type of request will generate a particular response. The __________ in this case then is the method an application uses when it requests the OS
API application programming interface
this layer is responsible for transporting application layer payloads from one application to another. this layers 2 main protocols include TCP and UDP
transport layer
This protocol makes a connection with the end host, and checks whether the data is received and resends it if it has not been received. also called a connection oriented protocol
TCP
This protocol does not guarantee delivery because it does not maintain a connection to check whether data is received. also called a connectionless protocol
UDP
transport layer protocols add control information in an area at the beginning of the payload called the __________ to create a message ready to be handled down the network layer
header
the process of adding a header to the data inherited from the layer above is called
encapsulation
The transport layer header addresses the receiving application by a number called a_______ if the message is too large to transport in one packet across the netowr, TCP divides it into smaller messages called ________, and in UDP its called_________.
port / segments / datagrams
Sometimes called the Internet layer, it’s responsible for moving messages from one node to another until they reach the destination host. this is the layer where routers typically function
network layer
the principal protocol used by the network layer is
IP internet protocol
