Class 2 Flashcards
a basic unit of information in network transmission
packet
8-bit
a byte or an octet
(In IPs) an octet is converted to decimal separated by a dot
controls communications
can obtain an IPv4 address using DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol)
IP service port
a protocol, by which data is sent from one computer to another
most networks combine it with a higher-level protocol called TCP
Internet Protocol (IP)
How many classes does the IPv4 system have?
How many are defined by the first octet?
5
All of them
The first bit of the first octet is always set to 0 (zero)
Hence the first octet ranges from 1 - 127 (0 is not displayed but takes one of the bits away)
examples: 1.x.x.x to 126.x.x.x (127.x.x.x is reserved for loopback IP adresses)
Class A Address
The first two bits in the first octet are set to 10
range from 129.0.x.x to 191.255.x.x
default subnet mask is 255.255.x.x
Class B
The first three bits of the first octet are set to 110
range from 192.0.0.x to 223.255.255.x
default subnet mask is 255.255.255.x
Class C
The first four bits of the first octet are set 1110
range from 224.0.0.0 to 239.255.255.255
reserved for multitasking
no subnet mask
Class D
Reserved for experimental purposes
range from 240.0.0.0 to 255.255.255.254
no subnet mask
Class E
network communication protocol designed to send data packets over the Internet
used together with IP
TCP/IP
has 2 kinds of communication channels TCP/IP and OSI
TCP/IP
3 most common TCP/IP protocols
HTTP, HTTPS, FTP
a protocol used between a web client and a web server
at the beginning of the web address
non-secure
web client - > dns server (sends address asks for IP) -> dns sends IP address back -> user goes to the IP address
HTTP
Like HTTP, but secure
uses SSL technology and encryption
provides authentication of the website and associated web server with which the user is communicating
HTTPS
