Network Communication

This document discusses the fundamentals of network communication, including network structure, protocols, models, and addressing schemes. It describes the basic components of a network, including end devices, intermediary devices, and network media. It also explains the layered models used to describe network functionality, such as the TCP/IP and OSI models, and how protocols are used at each layer to facilitate communication. Finally, it discusses addressing schemes like MAC addresses, IP addresses, and port numbers that allow devices to be identified and connected over the network.

Network Communication

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.
 Explain the advantages of using a layered model to describe network
functionality.
 Describe the role of each layer in two recognized network models: The TCP/IP
model and the OSI model.
 Describe the importance of addressing and naming schemes in network
communications.
Network Structure
 Define the elements of communication
 3 common elements of communication
 Message source
 The channel
 Message destination
 Define a network
 Data or information networks capable of carrying many different types of
communications
Network Structure
 Describe how messages are communicated
 Data is sent across a network in small “chunks” called segments
Network Structure
 Define the components of a network
 Network components
 Hardware
 Software
Network Structure
 End Devices and their Role in the Network
 End devices form interface with human network & communications network
 Role of end devices:
 Client
 Server
 Both client and server
Network Structure
 Identify the role of an intermediary device in a data network and be able to
contrast that role with the role of an end device
 Role of an intermediary device
 Provides connectivity and ensures data flows across
network
Network Structure
 Define network media and criteria for making a network media choice
 Network media – this is the channel over which a message travels
Network Types
 Define Local Area Networks (LANs)
 A network serving a home, building or campus is considered a Local Area Network
(LAN)
Network Types
 Define Wide Area Networks (WANs)
 LANs separated by geographic distance are connected by a network known as a Wide
Area Network (WAN)
Network Types
 Define the Internet
 The internet is defined as a global mesh of interconnected networks
Network Types
 Describe network representations
Function of Protocol in Network Communication
 The importance of protocols and how they are used to facilitate communication
over data networks
 A protocol is a set of predetermined rules
Function of Protocol in Network Communication
 Explain network protocols
 Network protocols are used to allow devices to communicate successfully
Function of Protocol in Network Communication
 Describe Protocol suites and industry standards
 A standard is a process or protocol that has been endorsed by the networking industry
and ratified by a standards organization
Function of Protocol in Network Communication
 Define different protocols and how they interact
Function of Protocol in Network Communication
 Technology independent Protocols
 Many diverse types of devices can communicate using the same sets of protocols
 This is because protocols specify network functionality, not the underlying technology
to support this functionality
Layers with TCP/IP and OSI Model
 Explain the benefits of using a layered model
 Benefits include
 Assists in protocol design
 Fosters competition
 Changes in one layer do not affect other layers
 Provides a common language

 Explain protocol data units (PDU) and encapsulation
Layers with TCP/IP and OSI Model
 Describe the process of sending and receiving messages
Layers with TCP/IP and OSI Model
 Explain protocol and reference models
 A protocol model provides a model that closely matches the structure of a particular
protocol suite
 A reference model provides a common reference for maintaining consistency within all
types of network protocols and services
Layers with TCP/IP and OSI Model
 Define OSI
Layers with TCP/IP and OSI Model
 Compare OSI and TCP/IP model
Addressing and Naming Schemes
 Explain how labels in encapsulation headers are used to manage communication
in data networks
Addressing and Naming Schemes
 Describe examples of Ethernet MAC Addresses, IP Addresses, and TCP/UDP
Port numbers
Addressing and Naming Schemes
 Explain how labels in encapsulation headers are used to manage communication
in data networks
