module 3 Flashcards
are people, or electronic devices, that need to send a message to other individuals or devices.
Message source (sender)
The destination receives the message and interprets it.
Message Destination (receiver)
This consists of the media that provides the pathway over which the message travels from source to destination.
Channel
Common computer protocols (rule of communication)
Message encoding
Message formatting and encapsulation
Message size
Message timing
Message delivery options
___ is the process of converting information into another acceptable form, for transmission. ____ reverses this process to interpret the information.
Encoding, Decoding
Message timing includes the following:
Flow Control
Response Timeout
Access Method
This is the process of managing the rate of data transmission
Flow Control
If a person asks a question and does not hear a response within an acceptable amount of time, the person assumes that no answer is coming and reacts accordingly
Response Timeout
This determines when someone can send a message
Access method
are typically represented as a circle
Nodes
Which delivery method is used to transmit information to one or more end devices, but not all devices on the network?
multicast
one to one communication
Unicast
one to all
Broadcast
- are implemented by end devices and intermediary devices in software, hardware, or both
- set of rules
protocol
protocol type
Network Communication Protocols
Network Security Protocols
Routing Protocols
Service Discovery Protocols
protocols enable two or more devices to communicate over one or more network
Network communication protocols
protocols secure data to provide authentication, data integrity, and data encryption
Network security protocols
protocols enable routers to exchange route information compare path information, and then to select the best path to the destination network
Routing protocols
protocols are used for the automatic detection of devices or services
Service discovery protocols
Network protocol functions
addressing
reliability
flow control
Sequencing
error detection
application interface
This identifies the sender and the intended receiver of the message using a defined addressing scheme
addressing
this function provides guaranteed delivery mechanisms in case message are lost or corrupted in transit
Reliability
This functions ensures that data flows at an efficient rate between two communication devices
Flow control
This function uniquely labels each transmitted segment of data
Sequencing
