Bits & Bytes: Week 2, I - the Network Layer Flashcards
A ___ address changes depending on your LAN; a ___ changes depending on which device you use
IP; MAC
ACRONYM: ARP
Address Resolution Protocol
ACRONYM:
DHCP
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
ACRONYM:
QOS
Quality of Service
ACRONYM:
TTL
Time to Live
Each network package contains a payload that encloses all necessary information, protocols, and data for each succesive network layer. What is this process called?
Encapsulation
How does a node find the MAC address of a device that doesn’t have an entry in its ARP table?
It sends a broadcast Address Resolution Protocol message to the MAC broadcast address and the device with the matching address responds with the data it needs
How long is an IP address in bits? In octets?
32 bits; 4 octets
How many bytes is the minimum for an IP header?
20 bytes
If the first bit of a binary IP address is 0, which IP class does that address belong to?
IP Class A
What would the following binary sequence look like as an IP address:
00001100 . 00100010 . 00111000 . 01001110
12.32.56.78

Technology that allows communication across very long distances almost instantaneously is part of this layer.
The Network Layer
This class of IP address contains the network ID in the first two octets and the host ID in the last two octets
Class B IP Address
This class of IP address contains the network ID in the first three octets and the host ID in the last octet
Class C IP address
This field contains a 16 bit number used to group (but not necessary order) separate IP Datagrams together that are part of the same transmission
the Identification Field
This field contains values needed by the receiving end to correctly order a fragmented datagram
the Fragment Offset Field
This field is used to set special characteristics for datagrams and is primarily used for testing purposes
the IP Options Field
This field of an IP Datagram Header can be used to specify details about Quality of Service technologies
the Service Type Field
this is a list of IP address and the MAC addresses associated with them
Address Resolution Protocol Table
This is a way of defining how the global IP address space is split up
Address Class System
this is the process of taking a single IP datagram and splitting it up into several smaller datagrams
fragmentation
This protocol is used to discover the hardware address of a node within a certain IP address
Address Resolution Protocol
This field contains the max number of routers a IP Datagram can traverse before it is thrown away
the TTL field
This IP Datagram Header field contains data about which transport layer protocol is being used.
The Protocol Field
Which IP Datagram Header field immediately follows the TTL field? How many bits?
The Protocol Field; 8 bits
This IP Datagram Header field is a series of zeros at the end of the header to ensure the header is the correct size
the Padding Field

Quality of Service Technologies
What are the two sections of an IP address?
The Network ID and the Host ID
What does the data payload section of an ethernet frame consist of?

What information is contained in the first octet of a Class A IP address?
the Network ID
What information is contained in the last three octets of a Class A IP address?
the Host ID
What is the decimal range that can be represented by 1 octet?
0 to 255
What is the first field of an IP Datagram header? How many bits?
Version field; 4 bits
What is the maximum size of an IP datagram?
65,535 bits
What is the range of values for the first octet of a Class A IP address?
0 - 127
What is the range of values for the first octet of a Class C IP address?
192 - 223
What is the range of values for the first octet of a Class B IP address?
128 - 191
What is the name of a data packet at the Network Layer?
an IP Datagram
What IP Datagram Header field follows the IP Options field?
the Padding Field
Which field in the IP Datagram Header follows the flag field?
the Fragmentation Offset Field
Which field is used to indicate if a datagram is allowed to be fragmented or has been fragmented?
the Flag Field
Which field of the IP Datagram Header follows the identification field?
the Flag Field
Which IP Datagram Header field indicates the total length of the IP datagram?
The Total Length Field
Which IP Datagram Header field follows the destination IP address field?
The IP options field
Which IP Datagram Header field follows the Fragmentation Offset Field? How many bits?
the TTL field; 8 bits
Which IP Datagram Header field follows the Header Checksum field? How many bits?
The Source IP Address; 32 bits
Which IP Datagram Header field follows the Protocol field?
The Header Checksum Field
Which IP Datagram Header field follows the Source IP Address field? How many bits?
The Destination IP Address field; 32 bits
Which IP Datagram Header field follows the total length field?
the Identification Field
