Internet Protocols
A protocol is a set of rules. A
letter sent through the postal system
also uses protocols. Part of the
protocol specifies where on the
envelope the delivery address needs
to be written. If the delivery address
is written in the wrong place, the
letter cannot be delivered. Internet
protocol works in a similar way.
Commonly
Used
Internet
Protocol
TCP/IP:
The Transmission Control
Protocol /Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)
suite of protocols has become the
dominant standard for
internetworking. TCP/IP represents a
set of public standards that specify
how packets of information are
exchanged between computers over
one or more networks.
IPX/SPX:
Internetwork Packet
Exchange/Sequenced Packet
Exchange is the protocol suite
originally employed by Novell
Corporations network operating
system, NetWare. It delivers
functions similar to those included in
TCP/IP.
NetBEUI:
NetBIOS Extended User Interface
is a protocol used primarily on small
Windows NT networks. NetBEUI
cannot be routed or used by routers
to talk to each other on a large
network. NetBEUI is suitable for
small peer-to-peer networks,
involving a few computers directly
connected to each other.
AppleTalk:
AppleTalk is a protocol suite used
to network Macintosh computers. It
is composed of a comprehensive set
of protocols that span the seven
layers of the Open Systems
Interconnection (OSI) reference
model.
HTTP:
Hypertext Transfer Protocol
governs how files such as text,
graphics, sound, and video are
exchanged on the World Wide Web
(WWW). The Internet Engineering
Task Force (IETF) developed the
standards for HTTP.
FTP:
File Transfer Protocol provides
services for file transfer and
manipulation. FTP allows multiple
simultaneous connections to remote
file systems.
SSH:
Secure Shell is used to securely
connect to a remote computer.
Telnet:
It is an application used to connect
to a remote computer that lacks
security features.
POP3:
Post Office Protocol is used to
download e-mail from a remote mail
server.
IMAP:
Internet Message Access Protocol is
also used to download
e-mail from a remote mail server.
SMTP:
Simple Mail Transfer Protocol is
used to send e-mail to a remote email server.
IP Addressing
IP address
is a number that is used to identify
a device on the network. Each device
on a network must have a unique IP
address to communicate with other
network devices.
Subnet Mask
The subnet mask indicates the
network portion of an IP
address. Like the IP address, the
subnet mask is a dotted-decimal
number. Usually all hosts within a
LAN use the same subnet mask.
IpConfig
Ipconfig is a command used to
find out the IP address of a certain
network you are connected to.
