▪ Firewalls

20
Q

TCP Windowing

A

Adjusts to send more/less data per segment based on retransmissions.

21
Q

Layer 5 (Session)

A

▪ Setting up sessions
▪ Maintaining sessions
▪ Tearing down sessions

22
Q

Layer 5 (Session) Setting Up a Session

A

▪ Check user credentials
▪ Assign numbers to session to identify them
▪ Negotiate services needed for session
▪ Negotiate who begins sending data

23
Q

Layer 5 (Session) Maintaining a Session

A

▪ Transfer the data
▪ Reestablish a disconnected session
▪ Acknowledging receipt of data

24
Q

Layer 5 (Session) Tearing Down a Session

A

▪ Mutual - After the transfer is done
▪ Other party disconnecting

25
Q

Layer 5 (Session) Examples

A

▪ H.323 - Setup, maintain, and tear down a voice/video
▪ NetBIOS - Share files over a network

26
Q

Layer 6 (Presentation)

A

▪ Functions (App Services, Service Advertisement)
▪ Data formatting
▪ Encryption

27
Q

Layer 6 (Presentation) Examples

A

▪ HTML, XML, PHP, JavaScript, …
▪ ASCII, EBCDIC, UNICODE, …
▪ GIF, JPG, TIF, SVG, PNG, …
▪ MPG, MOV, …
▪ TLS, SSL, …

28
Q

Layer 7 (Application)

A

▪ Provides application-level services (Low level apps like File Transfer, Network Transfer,… Not Word, NotePad,…)
▪ Layer where users communicate with the computer
▪ Application Services and Services Advertisement

29
Q

Packet Switching - Layer 3 (Network)

A

AKA Routing - Data is divided into packets and forwarded

30
Q

Circuit Switching - Layer 3 (Network)

A

Dedicated comm. link path

31
Q

Message Switching - Layer 3 (Network)

A

Similar to Packet Switching except packets can be stored before forwarded.

32
Q

Layer 3 (Network) Route Discovery and Selection

A

Router Protocols - RIP; OSPF; EIGRP

33
Q

ICMP (Layer 3 - Network)

A

Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP)
▪ Used to send error messages and operational information about an IP destination
▪ Not regularly used by end-user applications
▪ Used in troubleshooting (ping and traceroute)

34
Q

Layer 7 (Application) - Application Services

A

Application services unite communication components from more than one network application.
(E.g., File transfers and File Sharing, e-Mail, Remote Access, Network Management, Client/Server processes.)

35
Q

Layer 7 (Application) - Service Advertisement

A

Some applications send announcements about services they offer, some register with AD instead. (e.g. printer, file server).

36
Q

Layer 7 (Application) -

A

▪ E-mail (POP3, IMAP, SMTP)
▪ Web Browsing (HTTP, HTTPS)
▪ Domain Name Service (DNS)
▪ File Transfer Protocol (FTP, FTPS)
▪ Remote Access (TELNET, SSH)
▪ Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)

37
Q

TCP/IP Model

A

AKA TCP/IP Stack or DoD Model. Alternative to OSI Model that offers network designers a more relevant model since it is based on TCP/IP and only has 4 layers.

38
Q

TCP/IP Model Layer 1 (Network Interface)

A

Incorporates features of OSI Layers 1 (Physical) and 2 (Data Link)
Physical and Electrical Characteristics; How to transmit bits; How the interface uses the medium.

39
Q

TCP/IP Model Layer 2 (Internet)

A

Similar to OSI Layer 3 (Network)
▪ Packages data into IP datagrams
- Contains source and destination IPs
- Forwards datagrams between hosts across the networks
▪ Routes IP datagrams across networks
▪ Connectivity occurs externally

40
Q

TCP/IP Model Layer 2 (Internet) - Examples

A

▪ IP - Internet Protocol
▪ ICMP - Internet Control Message Protocol (network devices use to communicate problems with data transmission - Number 1 use is reporting errors.)
▪ ARP - Address Resolution Protocol (IP address to MAC address)
▪ RARP - Reverse Address Resolution Protocol (MAC Address to IP address)

41
Q

ICMP

A

Internet Control Message Protocol - Network devices use to communicate problems with data transmission - Number one use is reporting errors.

42
Q

ARP

A

Address Resolution Protocol - IP address to MAC address. (Layer 2 - Data Link to Layer 3 - Network Layer)

43
Q

RARP

A

Reverse Address Resolution Protocol - MAC Address to IP address. (Layer 3 - Network to Layer 2 - Data Link)

44
Q

TCP/IP Model Layer 3 (Transport)

A

Similar to OSI Layer 4 (Transport)
▪ Provides communication session management between hosts
▪ Defines level of service and status of connection used for transport

45
Q

TCP/IP Model Layer 3 (Transport) - Examples

A

▪ TCP
▪ UDP
▪ RTP

46
Q

TCP/IP Model Layer 4 (Application)

A

Combined features of OSI Layers 5 (Session), 6 (Presentation), and 7 (Application)
▪ Defines TCP/IP application protocols
▪ Defines how programs interface with the transport layer service
▪ Layer with which the user interacts

47
Q

TCP/IP Model Layer 4 (Application) - Examples

A

▪ HTTP, TELNET, FTP, SNMP, DNS, SMTP, SSL, TLS, …
