Protocols must account for the following requirements to successfully deliver a message that is understood by the receiver:
An identified sender and receiver Common language and grammar Speed and timing of delivery Confirmation or acknowledgment requirements
TCP/IP Model Layer Internet
Determines the best path through the network.
internet engineering task force (IETF)
Develops, updates, and maintains Internet and TCP/IP technologies. This includes the process and documents for developing new protocols and updating existing protocols know as Request for Comments (RFC) documents.
DNS
Domain Name System. Translates domain names such as cisco.com, into IP addresses.
TCP/IP Model Layer Network Access
Controls the hardware devices and media that make up the network.
ARP
Address Resolution Protocol. Provides dynamic address mapping between an IPv4 address and a hardware address.
True or false. Standards organizations are usually vendor-neutral.
true
Which protocol operates at the network access layer of the TCP/IP model?
Ethernet
File Transfer
FTP,SFTP,TFTP
Web and Web Service
HTTP,HTTPS,REST
These are the benefits of using a layered model to describe network protocols and operations:
Assisting in protocol design because protocols that operate at a specific layer have defined information that they act upon and a defined interface to the layers above and below Fostering competition because products from different vendors can work together Preventing technology or capability changes in one layer from affecting other layers above and below Providing a common language to describe networking functions and capabilities
Host Config
DHCPv4, DHCPv6,SLAAC
Which two protocols are service discovery protocols?
DNS, DHCP
Which two protocols belong in the TCP/IP model application layer?
DNS, DHCP
FTP
File Transfer Protocol. Sets the rules that enable a user on one host to access and transfer files to and from another host over a network. FTP is a reliable, connection-oriented, and acknowledged file delivery protocol.
HTTPS
HTTP Secure. A secure form of HTTP that encrypts the data that is exchanged over the World Wide Web
A device receives a data link frame with data and processes and removes the Ethernet information. What information would be the next to be processed by the receiving device?
IP at the internet layer
Response Timeout
If a person asks a question and does not hear a response within an acceptable amount of time, the person assumes that no answer is coming and reacts accordingly. The person may repeat the question or instead, may go on with the conversation. Hosts on the network use network protocols that specify how long to wait for responses and what action to take if a response timeout occurs.
OSPF
Open Shortest Path First. Link-state routing protocol that uses a hierarchical design based on areas. OSPF is an open standard interior routing protocol.
there are two layered models that are used to describe network operations:
Open System Interconnection (OSI) Reference Model TCP/IP Reference Model
Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE
Organization of electrical engineering and electronics dedicated to advancing technological innovation and creating standards in a wide area of industries including power and energy, healthcare, telecommunications, and networking. Important IEEE networking standards include 802.3 Ethernet and 802.11 WLAN standard. Search the internet for other IEEE network standards.
Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA)
Organization responsible for developing communication standards in a variety of areas including radio equipment, cellular towers, Voice over IP (VoIP) devices, satellite communications, and more.
Service Discovery Protocols
Protocols are used for the automatic detection of devices or services. Examples of service discovery protocols include Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) which discovers services for IP address allocation, and Domain Name System (DNS) which is used to perform name-to-IP address translation.
Routing Protocols
Protocols enable routers to exchange route information, compare path information, and then to select the best path to the destination network. Examples of routing protocols include Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) and Border Gateway Protocol (BGP).
Network Security Protocols
Protocols secure data to provide authentication, data integrity, and data encryption. Examples of secure protocols include Secure Shell (SSH), Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), and Transport Layer Security (TLS).
this protocols is responsible for guaranteeing the reliable delivery of information
TCP
Message Destination (receiver)
The destination receives the message and interprets it.
Access method
This determines when someone can send a message. Click Play in the figure to see an animation of two people talking at the same time, then a "collision of information" occurs, and it is necessary for the two to back off and start again. Likewise, when a device wants to transmit on a wireless LAN, it is necessary for the WLAN network interface card (NIC) to determine whether the wireless medium is available.
Flow control
This function ensures that data flows at an efficient rate between two communicating devices. TCP provides flow control services.
Error Detection
This function is used to determine if data became corrupted during transmission. Various protocols that provide error detection include Ethernet, IPv4, IPv6, and TCP.
Reliability
This function provides guaranteed delivery mechanisms in case messages are lost or corrupted in transit. TCP provides guaranteed delivery.
Flow Control
This is the process of managing the rate of data transmission. Flow control defines how much information can be sent and the speed at which it can be delivered. For example, if one person speaks too quickly, it may be difficult for the receiver to hear and understand the message. In network communication, there are network protocols used by the source and destination devices to negotiate and manage the flow of information.
TFTP
Trivial File Transfer Protocol. A simple, connectionless file transfer protocol with best-effort, unacknowledged file delivery. It uses less overhead than FTP.
Note:
You may see other documentation state that ARP operates at the Internet Layer (OSI Layer 3). However, in this course we state that ARP operates at the Network Access layer (OSI Layer 2) because it's primary purpose is the discover the MAC address of the destination. A MAC address is a Layer 2 address.

open standard protocol suite
this means it is freely available to the public and can be used by any vendors on their hardware or in their software

this is a family of protocols developed jointly in 1977 by the international organization for standardization (ISO) and the international telecommunications union (ITU).the OSI protocol also include a seven layer model called the OSI reference model. the OSI reference model categorizes the function of its protocols. today OSI us mainly know for its layered model. the OSI protocols have largely been replaced by TCP?IP.
Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP)
this protocol governs the way a web server and a web client interact. HTTP defines the content and formatting of the requests and response that are exchanged between the client and server. both the client and the web server software implement HTTP as part of the application. HTTP relies on other protocols to govern how the messages are transported between the cilent server
internet protocol (IP)
this protocol is responsible for delivering messages from the sender to the receiver.IP is used by routers to forward the messages across multiple networks

Application Interface
This function contains information used for process-to-process communications between network applications. For example, when accessing a web page, HTTP or HTTPS protocols are used to communicate between the client and server web processes.
Sequencing
This function uniquely labels each transmitted segment of data. The receiving device uses the sequencing information to reassemble the information correctly. This is useful if the data segments are lost, delayed or received out-of-order. TCP provides sequencing services.
