OSI Application Layer Function
interacts with end users

Attenuation
signal loss on transmission media
hub
hardware device with ports for multiple connections that echoes every message it receives to ALL connected ports
switch
device with multiple ports but examines the message and knows which port it should forward the message to. allows multiple devices to communicate
host based network
central computer/main frame with many users that connect directly to it using terminals such as keyboard and monitor
client server internetworking
central server handles data and local client software on client devices that requests services from server
peer to peer internetworking
use of an enterprise network for peers to exchange messages without depending on a central server to manage connections and messages
bridge
device needed for internetworking at the data link layer. listens to received traffic and remembers ports on which the traffic arrived from each MAC address. interconnects 2 or more LANs
router
forward IP packets based on where that IP network is physically located and the physical port or interface that connects to it
NIC network interface controller
allows device to connect and communicate on the network
prevention broadcast stormed caused by loops
uses RSTP or MSTP to stop packets from traveling in a circle and never reaching a destination
VLAN
used in flat topology where there is no hierarchy to the network structure.
circuit switched
a network that creates a path between a source and destination device
extranet
private network that allows authorized external users to securely share info
internet protocol IP
part of TCPIP that makes it possible to deliver packets across complicated networks by handling routing decisions
internetworking
the process of connecting multiple computer networks
intranet
private internal network
logical topology
shows how the devices in a network connect to a specific segment of the network
OSI Reference Model
internationally accepted framework of standards that governs how separate computer systems communicate using networks
packet switched
networks that transmit packets as individual messages
physical topology
physical network devices and any physical devices used to connect to the network
point to point network
network that consists only of computers and devices that are connected directly
TCP
part of the TCPIP that guarantees a reliable stream of data between two computers
TCPIP Reference Model
descriptive framework for computer network protocols created by DoD in the 70s
TCPIP Suite
a collection that provides support to nearly all internet capable operation systems and devices
TCPIP Data Link sublayer- logical link layer LLC
top layer that talks directly to the network layer and provides error control
TCPIP Data link sublayer- media access control layer
talks to the physical layer and defines how frames are placed on the wire

dynamic ports
49151-65535
3 way handshake
syn (synchronize), syn/ack, ack (acknowledge)
bit
binary digit
nibble
collection of 4 bits (half a byte or half an octet)
byte
number of bits a system has used to encode one text character. 8 bits.
IPv4 IP address length
32 bits= 4 bytes= 4 octets
IPv6 IP address length
8 groups of 4 hexdigits, each group of 4 hexdigits= 16 bits, so 128 bits
IPv6 IP address set up
first 48 bits=network
next 16 bits=subnet ID
last 64 bits= client ID

reliability
availability and integrity of the data transmission
uptime
whether there is a physical link access to the communication line
integrity
whether the data made it to the destination intact and accurate
6 components of a structured wiring system
- building cabling entrance
- data center/equipment room
- backbone cabling
- telecom room/wiring closet
- horizontal cabling
- workstation/office location
attenuation
measure amount of signal loss at the other end
crosstalk
where a signal on one pair of twisted cables interferes with another pair
propagation delay
amount of time it takes for signal to reach the end of the cable
return loss
measures signal reflections that are caused by an impedance mismatch from end to end

ethernet standards
CSMA/CD carrier sense
NIC cards listen on the physical media for specific voltage levels or carrier signals. if coast is clear, NIC can transmit
CSMA/CD multiple access
NIC cards can transmit simultaneously. when this happens, a collision is noticed by the NIC card transceivers
