ifconfig
Difference between bit size in IPv4 and IPv6
32 IPv4 and 128 IPv6
Difference between formats for IPv4 and IPv6
IPv6 = colon separated hexadecimal format (8 groups of 4 hexadecimal digits)
IPv4 = dotted-decimal format (8 bits per section (octet), ranging from 0 to 255) - 4.3 billion
What is a MAC
physical addy/unique identifier assigned to a network interface controllers (NIC)
Where are MAC addresses stored
in a device’s firmware or ROM (read only memory)
How many bits is a MAC address
48 bits
What layer is the MAC address
data link layer
What does TCP stand for
Transmission control protocol
what does UDP stand for
user ditagram protocol
TCP and UDP are 2 common ____ ____ protocols
transport layer protocols
What is TCP
a connection-oriented protocl that provides reliable, ordered, and error-checked delivery of data packers over an IP network
What is UDP
a connectionless protocl that is simpler and more lightweight - slower
What is TCP used to transport?
web browing, email, file transfer, and remote login (due for the NEED of guarenteed deliver)
What is UDP used for?
For real time applications like streaming media, online gaming, DNS, and VoIP
What does TCP use to establish a connection?
The 3-way handshake
What makes up the 3 way handshake?
SYN (Synchronize)
SYN-ACK (Synchronize-Acknowledge)
ACK (Acknowledge)
Describe step 1 of the 3 way handshake
SYN (Synchronize) - Client initiates request by sending a TCP packet with the SYN flag set to a destination. This indicates the desire to establish a connection
Describe step 2 of the 3 way handshake
SYN-ACK (Synchronize-Acknowledge) - The server receives the SYN packet and responds with a TCP packet that has both the SYN and ACK flags set
Describe step 3 of the 3 way handshake
ACK (Acknowledge) - The client responds to the SYN-ACK packet by sending and ACK packet back to the destination which confirms the establishment of the connnection
