TCP/IP Model Flashcards
What is the TCP/IP model?
A series of protocols that work together to transmit data from one computer, through any number of pieces of network hardware, to another computer
It is a concept; not a physical thing.
What are the 4 layers?
Application layer
Transport layer
Network layer
Data link layer
What is the Application layer?
Given how data govern how data moves in and out of applications, such as web browsers or emails programs
What does the Transport layer do?
Establishes communication between the sender and the recipient,AGREEING on how communication will take place,
Handles error checking throughout kn terms of packet loss and how to fix it
What does the Network layer do?
Packages data for transmisensures data packets a are prepared correctly before being sent :
A destination is provided, and a source too.
This sources the packets ti their address
Give a description of the Data layer (AKA Network Interface Layer)?
The physics components of computer, such as the network interface card (NIC), operate at this level
Givens hiw data is handled in network hardware, like Ethernet and WiFi , the connection to the internet
Name protocols on the Application layer:
HTTP HTTP FTP SMTP IMAP Pop3
Name protocols on the Transport layer:
TCP
UDP
Name protocols on the Network layer:
IP
Name protocols on the Network Interface layer:
