Lesson 6: TCP/IP Flashcards
6to4 Prefix
A technique that enables IPv6 hosts to communicate over the IPv4 Internet
Anycast Address
Is obtained from a list of addresses
ARIN
American Registry for Internet Numbers
ARPAnet
Advanced Research Projects Agency network
CIDR
Classless interdomain routing
CIDR Block
The grouping of two or more class networks together; also called supernetting
Class A, B, C, D, and E
The five classes of IPv4
Classful
The IP and subnet addresses are within the same network
Connection-Oriented Protocol
Establishes a network connection, manages the delivery of data, and terminates the connection
Full IPv6 Address
All 32 hexadecimal positions contain a value other than 0.
Hex
Hexadecimal, base 16
ICANN
The Internet Corporation of Assigned Names and Numbers
IGMP
Internet Group Management Protocol
Internet Layer
Defines the protocols used for addressing and routing data packets
IP (Internet Protocol)
Defines the addressing used to identify the source and destination addresses of data packets being delivered over an IP network
IPng
The next generation IP
IPv4
The IP version currently being used on the Internet
IPv6
IP version 6
Multicast Address
Data packets sent to a multicast address are sent to the entire group of networking devices, such as a group of routers running the same routing protocol
Multicasting
When one host sends data to many destination hosts
NCP
Network Control Protocol
Network Interface Layer
Defines how the host connects to the network
Prefix Length Notation
Another shorthand technique for writing the subnet mask except class boundaries are not being crossed
Stateless address autoconfiguration (SLAAC)
Allows a server-less basic network configuration of the IPv6 computers
Subnet Mask
Identifies the network/subnet portion of an IP address
Supernets
The grouping of two or more class networks together; also called CIDR blocks
SYN ACK
Synchronizing Acknowledgement packet
TCP
Transmission Control Protocol
Transport Layer Protocols
Define the type of connection established between hosts and how acknowledgements are sent
UDP
User Datagram Protocol
Unicast Address
Used to identify a single network interface address, and data packets are sent directly to the computer with the specified IPv6 address
Well-known Ports
Ports reserved by ICANN
