Describe the HTTP Protocol used in the Application Layer (3 points).

Application layer does not define the application itself, but it defines the services that applications need.
Application protocol HTTP defines how web browsers can retrieve the contents of a web page from a web server.
The application layer provides an interface between software running a computer and the network itself.

Describe the “UDP” Protocol (4 points).

UDP = User Datagram Protocol
UDP is categorized as an unreliable protocol.
UDP does not perform any connection setup or teardown and does not verify that the data arrived in one piece.
UDP relies on the Application to manage re-transmission of lost data.

Describe the “TCP” Protocol (4 points).

TCP = Transmission Control Protocol
TCP is categorized as a reliable protocol for transmitting data.
TCP not only sets up the connection, it negotiates the communication parameters but also verifies that the data arrived at the destination intact.
The destination machine can use TCP to request re-transmission of lost or damaged frames.

What are the Error Recovery Basics of TCP (3 points)?

TCP/IP needs a mechanism to guarantee delivery of data across a network.
Many application layer protocols want a way to guarantee delivery of data across a network, the creators of TCP included an error-recovery feature.
To recover from errors, TCP uses the concepts of acknowledgements.

Describe the Network Layer in the TCP/IP Model (3 points)?

Network Layer, also known as Internet Layer or IP Layer, accepts the delivery of packets for the network.
Internet Layer is above the Link Layer (or the Network Access Layer) and below the Transport Layer.
Internet Layer is the layer at which logical addressing, packetization of data and routing are handled.
Internet Layer is comparable to the Network Layer of the OSI model.

What are the core protocols of the Network Layer in the TCP/IP Model (4 points)?

IP – The Internet Protocol (IP) is a routable protocol responsible for IP addressing, routing and the fragmentation and reassembly of packets.

ARP – The Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) is responsible for the resolution of the internet layer address of the Network Interface Layer address such as a hardware address.

ICMP – The Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) is responsible for providing diagnostic functions and reporting errors due to the unsuccessful delivery of IP packets.

IGMP – The Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) is responsible for the management of IP multicast groups.

What is IP protocol responsible for (4 points)?

IP Addressing – IP addressing conventions are part of the IP protocol. There are two types of IP addressing: IPv4 and IPv6. Host-to-Host Communications – IP determines the path a packet must take, based on the receiving systems IP address. Packet Formatting – IP assembles packets into units that are known as datagrams. Fragmentation – If a packet is too large for transmission over the network media, IP on the sending system breaks the packet into smaller fragments. IP on the receiving system then reconstructs the fragments into the original packet.

What are the basics of IP Protocol Addressing (3 points)?

Each device/host that uses TCP/IP needs a unique address so that it can be identified in the network. IP also defines how to group address together. The term "IP host" refers to any device, regardless of size or power, that has an IP address and connects to any TCP/IP network.

What are the basics of IP Routing (3 points)

Internet layer handles routing which is the transfer of packets from one local network to an adjacent local network, based on a list of destinations and network interfaces contained in memory of a device configured to perform internet layer routing. TCP/IP network layer, using the IP protocol provides a service of forwarding IP packets from one device to another. Any device with an IP address can connect to the TCP/IP network and send packets.

Describe the Link Layer in the TCP/IP Model (3 points)?

TCP/IP model’s original link layer defines the protocols and hardware required to deliver data across some physical networks. The term “Link” refers to physical connections, or links, between two devices and the protocols used to control those links. When a host’s or router’s IP process chooses to send an IP packet to another router or host, that host or router then uses link-layer details to send that packet to the next host/router.

What are the 5 steps of Data Encapsulation?

1. Create and encapsulate the application data with any required application layer headers. For example, the HTTP OK message can be returned in an HTTP header, followed by part of the contents of a web page. 2. Encapsulate the data supplied by the application layer inside a transport layer header. For end-user applications, a TCP or UDP header is typically used. 3. Encapsulate the data supplied by the transport layer inside a network layer (IP) header. IP defines the IP address that uniquely identify each computer. 4. Encapsulate the data supplied by the network layer inside a data link layer header and trailer. This layer uses both a header and a trailer. 5. Transmit the bits. The physical layer encodes a signal onto the medium to transmit the frame.

What does "LH" stand for?

Link Header

What does "LT" stand for?

Link Trailer
