Section 2 Flashcards
OSI model
Physical, Data Link, Network, Transport, Session, Presentation, Application
TCP/IP model
Network Interface, Internet, Transport, Application
Where are Frames created?
In the Network card (NIC) frames can be a maximum of 1500 bytes
Broadcast vs Unicast
Unicast will have a specific MAC address, Broadcast address will look like FF-FF-FF-FF-FF-FF
Broadcast domain
If you have a group of computers that can hear each others broadcasts
Logical addressing
IP addressing used to identify a specific network. the first 3 values will be used ex: IPv4, IPv6 (IP packets never change within the frame
Default gateway
Connection to the router itself
Routing table
determines where to send the packets
Port numbers
are unique to individual applications used on the internet (Port 80 HTTP, Port 20/21 FTP) Range 0-65535 but the first 1024 are reserved
TCP vs UDP
TCP is a connection oriented conversation between 2 computers. UDP is connectionless
Physical layer
Cables
Data link
MAC addresses, network cards, switches
Network
Routers, IP addresses, Logical addresses
Transport
Assembles and disassembles packets to get to another system
Session
Actual connection between two systems, ex: TCP, email, Sharing a folder
