Objectives
Describe the structure of a network, including the devices and media that are necessary for successful communications Explain the function of protocols in network communications
Elements of Communication
Message source or sender
people or electronic devices that send a message to other individuals or devices
Channel
consists of the media that provides the pathway over which the message can travel from source to destination

End Devices
An end device refers to a piece of equipment that is either the source or the destination of a message on a network
the interface between the human and the network also known as a host each host is identified by an address
Version 4.0
Ch 2 - 7
Intermediary Devices
Provide connectivity and ensures data flows across the network Connect individual hosts to the network and can connect multiple individual networks to form an internetwork Use the destination host address to determine the path the messages take through the network
Version 4.0
Ch 2 - 8
Maintain information about what pathways or routes exist through the network and the internetwork
Notify other devices of errors and communication failures Direct data along alternate routes when there is a link failure Classify and direct messages according to QoS priorities Permit or deny the flow of data based on security settings

Network Media
Modern networks primarily use three types of media
copper wires within cables glass or plastic fibers (fiber optic cable) wireless transmission

Network Infrastructures
Network infrastructures can vary in terms of:
the size of the area covered the number of users connected the number and type of services available

WANs use specifically designed network devices to make the interconnections between LANs
Version 4.0
Ch 2 - 15
Internetwork
a global mesh of interconnected networks owned by large public and private organizations the Internet is an example of a publicly-accessible internetwork
Intranet
private connection of LANs and WANs that belongs to an organization accessible only by the organizations members, employees, or others with authorization
Version 4.0
Ch 2 - 16
The Internet
LANs and WANs may be connected into internetworks

Protocols
Pre-determined rules that govern communications A group of inter-related protocols that are necessary to perform a communication function is called a protocol suite
Version 4.0
Ch 2 - 18
Role of Protocols
The format or structure of the message, such as how much data to put into each segment The process by which intermediary devices share information about the path to the destination The method to handle error and system messages between intermediary devices The process to setup and terminate communications or data transfers between hosts

Interaction of Protocols
Application Protocol
HTTP defines the content and formatting of the requests and responses exchanged between the client and the server
Transport Protocol
TCP manages the individual conversations and divides the HTTP messages into smaller pieces called segments TCP is also responsible for controlling the size and rate at which messages are exchanged

Technology-Independent Protocols
The implementation of a particular protocol is technology independent
protocols describe what functions are required protocols do not describe how to accomplish a particular function
Version 4.0
Ch 2 - 27
Fosters competition
products from different vendors can work together
Prevents technology or capabilities changes in one layer from affecting other layer above and below
Version 4.0

A reference model provides a common reference for maintaining consistency within all types of network protocols and services
it is not intended to be an implementation specification or to provide a sufficient level of detail to define precisely the services of the network architecture the primary purpose is to aid in clearer understanding of the functions and processes involved Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) model

TCP/IP Model
Defines four communication functions that protocols perform An open standard developed in the early 1970s
the definitions of the standards and the protocols are defined in publiclyavailable documents called Request For Comments (RFCs)
Version 4.0
Ch 2 - 31
Communication Process
Creation of data at the application layer of the originating source end device Segmentation and encapsulation of data as it passes down the protocol stack in the source end device Generation of the data onto the media at the network access layer of the stack Transportation of the data through the internetwork, which consists of media and any intermediary devices Reception of the data at the network access layer of the destination end device Decapsulation and reassembly of the data as it passes up the stack in the destination device Passing this data to the destination application at the application layer of the destination end device

Sending Process
The Application layer begins the process by delivering the data to the Transport layer The Application data is broken into TCP segments and each segment is given a label, called a header
the header contains information about which process running on the destination computer should receive the message it also contains the information to enable the destination process to reassemble the segments
The TCP segment is sent to the Internet layer and encapsulated within an IP packet, which adds an IP header the IP header contains the source and destination IP addresses

Addressing
Various types of addresses are needed to successfully deliver the data from a source application running on one host to the correct destination application running on another
Data Link physical addresses Network logical addresses Transport service port numbers
Version 4.0
Ch 2 - 40
Layer 2 Address
This is the physical address of the host (or end device)
in a LAN using Ethernet, this address is called the Media Access Control (MAC) address
Layer 2 addresses are used to communicate between devices on a single local network
(packet)
Version 4.0
Ch 2 - 41
Layer 3 Address
This is the logical address Layer 3 addresses are primarily used to move data from one local network to another local network
enable intermediary network devices to locate hosts on different networks
