Q

What happens at the Transport Layer

A

Responsible for managing the integrity of a connection and controlling the session. Providing transparent data transport and end to end transmission control
Defines session rules like how much data each segment can contain, how to verify message integrity, and how to determine whether data has been lost

30
Q

What is the Protocol Data Unit (PDU) at the Data Link Layer

A

Frames

31
Q

Routing Protocols

A

Move routed protocol messages across a network.
Defined at the Network Layer and specify how routers communicate
Can be static or dynamic and categorized as interior or exterior
Include Internetwork Packet Exchange (IPX) and Internet Protocol (IP)

32
Q

Static Routing Protocol

A

Requires an admin to create/update routes on the router

33
Q

Dynamic Routing Protocol

A

Can discover routers and determine best route to a given destination
Routing table is periodically updated

34
Q

Distance Vector Router Protocol

A

An interior router protocol that makes routing decisions based on distance (hop count), and vector (router egress interface)

35
Q

Examples of Distance Vector routing protocol

A

Routing Information Protocol (RIP): uses hop count as it routing metric
Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (IGRP)
Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (EIGRP)

36
Q

Link State Routing Protocol

A

An interior routing protocol that uses router characteristics(e.g. speed, latency, error rates) to make next hop routing decisions

37
Q

Examples of Link State routing protocols

A

Open Shortest Path First(OSPF) an interior gateway routing protocol developed for IP networks based on shortest path first or link state algorithm.
Intermediate System to Intermediate System (IS-IS)

38
Q

Interior Routing Protocol

A

As called “myopic” make next hop decisions based only on info related to the next immediate hop

39
Q

Exterior Router Protocols

A

As called “far-sighted” makes hop decisions based on the entire remaining path (i.e.) vector

40
Q

Border Gateway Protocol (BGP)

A

an exterior/path vector protocol

41
Q

Transmission Control Protocol (TCP)

A

Major transport protocol in the internet suite of protocols. Provides reliable, connection oriented, full duplex streams.
Use 3 way handshake: Synchronize (SYN), synchronize-acknowledge (SYN-ACK), and acknowledge(ACK)

42
Q

User Datagram Protocol (UDP)

A

Connectionless protocol that provides fast, best effort delivery of datagrams(self-container unit of data)
