Q

Explain message encoding

A

Encoding is the process of converting information into another acceptable form. Decoding reverses this process to interpret the information.
Encoding between hosts must be in an appropriate format for the medium, messages sent into the network are first converted into bits by the host. Each bit is encoded into patterns of voltages on copper wires, infrared lights in optical fibers or microwaves for wireless systems. The destination host receives and decodes the signal to interpret the message.

Q

Explain message format and encapsulation

A

Message format depend on the type of message, and the channel that is used to deliver the message.
A message that is sent over a computer needs to follow specific format rules in order to be delivered.
IPv6 identifies the source of the packet and it’s destination.
IP is responsible for sending a message from message source to destination over one or more networks.

Q

Explain message size

A

The size restrictions (very strict) of frames require the source host to break a long message into individual pieces to that meets size requirements. The long message will e sent in separate frames, each contain a piece of the original message and its own addressing info. At the destination host, the individual pieces of messages will be reconstructed into the original message.
Note: Rules also depend on the channel used

Q

Define Addressing

A

Identifies the sender and the intended receiver of the message using a defined addressing scheme (Ethernet, IPv4, and IPv6)

22
Q

Define Reliability

A

This function provides guaranteed delivery mechanisms in case messages are lost or corrupted in transit (TCP)

23
Q

Define Flow control

A

This function ensures that data flows at an efficient rate between two communicating devices (TCP)

24
Q

Define Sequencing

A

Uniquely labels each transmitted signal of data. The receiving device uses the sequencing information to reassemble the information correctly.
This is useful if the data segments are lost, delayed, or received out of order, TCP

25
Q

Define Error Detection

A

This function is used to determine if data became corrupted during transmission (Ethernet, IPv4, IPv6, and TCP)

26
Q

Define Application Interface

A

contains information used for process-to-process communications between network applications. For example, when accessing a web page, HTTP or HTTPS protocols are used to communicate between the client and server web processes.

27
Q

Define HTTP

A

Hyper Text Transfer Protocol; governs the way a web server and a web client interact, it defines the content and formatting of the requests and responses that are exchanged between the client and the server. Both the client and the web server implement HTTP as a part of the application. HTTP relies on the protocols to govern how the messages are transported between the client and server.

28
Q

Define TCP

A

Transmission Control Protocol; manages the individual conversations, it is responsible for the reliable delivery of the information and managing flow control between the end devices.

29
Q

Define IP

A

Internet Protocol; responsible for delivering messages from sender to receiver, it’s also used in routers to forward the message across multiple networks.

30
Q

Define Ethernet

A

Responsible for the delivery of messages from one NIC to another on the same Ethernet local area network (LAN)

31
Q

Define Protocol Suites

A

A protocol suite is a group of inter-related protocols necessary to perform a communication function.

32
Q

Define a protocol stack

A

shows how the individual protocols within a suite are implemented. The protocols are viewed in terms of layers, with each higher-level service depending on the functionality defined by the protocols shown in the lower levels. The lower layers of the stack are concerned with moving data over the network and providing services to the upper layers, which are focused on the content of the message being sent.
In the middle is the rules layer that stipulates the requirements of communication including that a common language must be chosen. At the top is the content layer and this is where the content of the communication is actually spoken.

33
Q

Define Internet Protocol Suite (TCP/IP)

A

An open standard protocol suite maintained by the Internet Engineering Task Force.

Application
Transport
Internet
There are no protocols for Network access layer

36
Q

What are the most common network access layers?

A

LAN protocols are Ethernet and WLAN (wireless LAN) protocols

37
Q

What are the two important aspects for vendors and manufacturers?

A

1) Open standard protocol suite: it’s freely available to the public and can be used by any vendor on their hardware or software.
2) Standard-based protocol suite: it has been endorsed by the networking industry and approved by a standards organization. This ensures that the products from different manufacturers can interoperate successfully.

38
Q

What are the layers of the TCP/IP protocol suite?

A

1) Network Access Layer

b)WLAN: defines the rules for wireless signaling across 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz radio frequencies.

40
Q

What are the three protocols in the Internet Layer?

A

1) Internet Protocol
2) Messaging
3) Routing Protocol

41
Q

Talk about Internet Protocol

A

1) IPv4: Internet protocol version 4. Receives message segments from the transport layer, packages messages into packages, and addresses packages for end-to-end delivery on a network. IPv4 uses a 32-bit address.
2) IPv6: similar to IPv4 but uses a 128-bit address.
3) NAT: Network Address Translation; Translates IPv4 addresses from a private network into globally unique public IPv4 addresses.

42
Q

Talk about Messaging

A

1) ICMPv4: Internet Control Message Protocol for IPv4; Provides feedback from a destination host to a source host about errors in-packet delivery.
2) ICMPv6: Similar functionality to ICMPv4 but for IPv6.
ICMPv6 ND: ICMPv6 Neighbor Discovery; Includes four protocols that are used for address resolution and duplicate address detection.

43
Q

Talk about Routing Protocols

A

1) OSPF: Open Shortest Path First; The link-state routing protocol uses a hierarchical design based on areas. It’s an open standard interior routing protocol
2) EIGRP: Enhanced Interior Gateway Routing Protocol; An open standard routing protocol developed by Cisco uses a composite metric based on bandwidth, delay, load, and reliability.
3) BGP: Boarder Gateway Protocol; An open standard exterior gateway routing protocol used by internet service providers (ISPs). BGP is also commonly used between ISPs and their large private clients to exchange routing information.

44
Q

Talk about Transport Layer

A

1) Connection Oriented:
TCP: Transmission Control Protocol; Enables reliable communication between processes running on different hosts and provides reliable, acknowledged transmissions that confirm successful delivery.
2) Connectionless:
UDP: User Datagram Protocol; Enables a process running on a host to send packets to a process running on a different host. However, UDP does not confirm successful datagram transmission.

45
Q

Talk about Application Layer

A

1) DNS
2) Host Config
3) E-mail
4) File Transfer
5) Web and Web services

46
