IP Flashcards
A network is a single _______ network that connects them to any other user on the internet
virtual
TCP/IP provides ______ sets of services
three
What are the 3 conceptual service layers from top to bottom?
- Application Services
- Reliable Transport Service
- Connectionless Packet Delivery Service
The Reliable Transport Service Layer is where the data and ____ header is created and combined together
TCP
The Connectionless Packet Delivery Service Layer is composed of the _______ and _______ layer
network, datalink
In the ______ layer, the packet produced from the above TCP layer is given and IP header
network
In the Datalink Layer, the packet produced from the above network layer is given an _______ header
Ethernet
In connectionless delivery, a _____ _______ delivery system does not guarantee delivery
best effort
In connectionless delivery, packets related to the same communication may take _______ routes from source to destination
different
In connectionless delivery, what is a result of packets taking different routes from source to destination?
Packets may arrive out of order
In connectionless delivery, packets may be lost due to ________ errors or ________
transmission, congestion
The protocol that govern many aspects of the connectionless delivery system is the ___ protocol
IP
The IP protocol determines the format of the ______
datagram
What are the two version of IP currently in use?
IPv4 and IPv6
Between IPv4 and IPv6, which one is more common?
IPv4
IPv6 was introduced to address the ____________ of IPv4
shortcomings
What are 3 reasons for the change from IPv4 to IPv6?
- Address space exhaustion
- Lack of security and authentication
- Requirements for new types of services
What are 6 improvements in IPv6?
- Expanded address space
- Improved option mechanism
- Address auto configuration
- Increased addressing flexibility
- Support for resource allocation
- New version of ICMP
How many bits are in IPv6 addresses?
128
How does IPv6 improve option mechanisms?
The optional headers are now separate from the transport layer header. These additional headers are not examined by intermediate routers, improving processing speed.
IPv6 introduces _________, a new type of casting
anycast
IPv6 allows special handling of packets by _________ them to a particular flow of traffic
labeling
In IPv4, a __ bit global internet address is used to uniquely identify a particular _______ _______ connected to a particular host as a destination for communication
32, network interface
In IPv4, each IP address is split into _____ and ______ to identify the host and the network to which the host is connected
netid, hostid
