TCP/IP Addressing and Data Delivery Flashcards

1
Q

a connection-oriented, guaranteed-delivery protocol used to send data packets between devices over a network such as the Internet. carries the majority of traffic in today’s networks.

Q

a connectionless Transport-layer protocol in the IP suite. Faster than TCP because it uses a smaller, simpler header than TCP does and it is a connectionless protocol so it does not wait for acknowledgment. this protocol is commonly used in streaming media such as VoIP, Real-time video and network management applications in which a device is polled regularly for its health. Used when performance is more important than the ability to receive all of the data.

A

User Datagram Protocol (UDP

Q

a Network Layer protocol that is responsible for sending data packets across a network. this protocol is responsible for packet formatting, routing individual datagrams, and the logical addressing scheme. it can carry either TCP or UDP as its payload.

Q

an IP protocol that attempts to report on the condition of a connection between two hosts. A common example of is using the ping utility to check connectivity and the traceroute command. It works at the Network Layer of the OSI model.

Q

Maps an IP address to a physical or MAC address recognized within a local network. resides at the Data Link Layer (Layer 2) of the OSI model, encapsulated by an Ethernet header. enables you to dynamically discover the mapping of a Network Layer (Layer 3) IP address to a Layer 2 MAC address. supports IP by resolving IP address to MAC address.

Q

Steps in the ARP process

A
  1. ARP (Layer 2) receives an IP address from IP (Layer 3).
  2. ARP checks the ARP cache for the MAC address that is associated with that IP address.
    a. ) If ARP has the MAC address in its cache, it returns it to IP (Layer 3).
    b. ) If not, it issues a Layer 2 broadcast (FF:FF:FF:FF) to resolve the IP address. The target host with the corresponding IP address responds with a Layer 2 unicast that includes its MAC address.
  3. ARP adds the MAC address to its cache and then sends it to IP as requested.

IP Address Assignment Rules

A

The host part of an IP address cannot be all 1s or all 0s. All 1s is reserved for broadcasts. All 0s is reserved for the network ID. The IP address 127.0.0.1 is reserved for testing and cannot be used as a host ID.

Q

addresses that organizations use for hosts within enterprise networks requiring IP connectivity and not external connections to the Internet

A

Private IP addresses

20
Q

Compare Public and Private IP Addresses

A
  • Public IP addresses are issued by your ISP for use anywhere on the Internet.
  • while private IP addresses are used for internal network communication only.
  • You can use public IP addresses between networks, such as between your network and any other Internet address.
  • Private IP addresses never leave your internal network.
21
Q

27
Q

When you move the subnet mask one bit to the right

A

you are dividing one network in half, giving you two subnets

28
Q

If you move the subnet mask two bits to the right

A

you are dividing the network twice, giving you four subnets.

29
Q

If you move the subnet mask three bits to the right

A

you are dividing the network three times, giving you eight subnets.

30
Q

IPv6 Transmission type with a single address identifying a single interface.

A

Unicast

33
Q

IPv6 Transmission type delivered to every address in a group

IPv6 Address Rules/Examples

A
  • 2001:0db8:85a3:0000:0000:8a2e:0370:7334
  • (not valid if letter above F)
  • (you can remove a group of 0’s but only one group)
  • (you can omit any leading 0’s in an octet)
  • 2001:db8:85a3:::8a2e:370:7334 (example using above rules)
39
Q

IPv4 and IPv6 are not compatible. One of the ways that IPv6 can be implemented on IPv4 networks is through this process. Like encapsulation it envelops a data packet in a form that is acceptable to the carrier. In this instance, you are encapsulating IPv6 packets to traverse IPv4 networks such as the Internet.

A

IPv6 Tunneling

40
Q

With IPv6 this is used to make sure the packets can travel across all ISP’s, the client encapsulates the IPv6 packets into IPv4

A

Toredo tunneling on Windows OS and Miredo tunneling on Linux and Mac OS

41
Q

A host computer running IPv6 can use this IEEE standard to self-assign its interface addresses. the MAC address is padded in the center with FFFE, extending it to 64 bits in length. For instance a MAC address of 01-00-11-22-33-44 would be changed to 0100:11FF:FE22:3344 to become the last 64 bits of the host’s IPv6 address.

A

Extended Unique Identifier (EUI-64)

42
Q

The IPv6 discovery process that uses Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMPv6) messages and solicited-host multicast addresses to:

  • Determine the link-layer address of a host on the local link
  • Verify that a neighbor host can be reached
  • Track neighboring devices
A

Neighbor Discovery

43
Q

Assigning a protocol to a network interface card (NIC) is referred to as this

A

Protocol Binding

44
Q

IPv6 Loopback Address

A

::1

45
Q

Convert the binary address 10011011 to decimal

A

155

46
Q

Convert the decimal address 155 to binary

A

10011011
