models.
|
|
|
|
TCP/IP model:
|
|
|
|
• Network Interface Layer
|
|
|
|
• Internet Layer
|
|
|
|
• Transport Layer
|
|
|
|
• Application Layer
|
|
|
|
• (Also described as: Link
Layer, Internet
|
|
|
|
Layer, Transport Layer,
Application Layer)
|
|
|
|
|
|
•
OSI stands for Open Systems Interconnection
•
Created by International
Standards Organization
•
Was created as a framework and
reference model to explain how different networking technologies work together
and interact
•
Is not a standard that
networking protocols must follow
•
Each layer has specific
functions it is responsible for
•
All layers work together in the
correct order to move data around a network
•

– Please Do Not Throw Sausage Pizza Away
•
The process of moving data
between layers of the OSI Model
•
Encapsulation:
Data
> segment > packet > frame > bits
• De-encapsulation:
Bits
> frame > packet > segment > data
Data
Segment
Packet

Bits
• Application,
Presentation, and Session layers
•
Transport layer
• Networking
layer
• Data
Link layer
• Physical
layer
•
Deals with all aspects of
physically moving data from one computer to the next
•
Converts data from the upper
layers into 1s and 0s for transmission over media
•
Defines how data is encoded
onto the media used to transmit the data
•
Defined on this layer: Cable
standards, wireless standards, and fiber optic standards
•
Device example: Hub
•
Used to transmit data
– Copper wiring, fiber optic cable, radio frequencies, anything that can be used to
transmit data is defined on the Physical layer of the OSI Model
•
Is responsible for moving
frames from node to node or computer to computer
•
Can move frames from one
adjacent computer to another, cannot move frames across routers
•
Encapsulation = frame
•
Requires MAC address. or physical address
•
Protocols defined include
Ethernet Protocol and Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP)
•
Device example: Switch
•
Two sublayers: Logical Link
Control (LLC) and the Media Access Control (MAC)
•
Logical Link Control (LLC)
– Data Link layer addressing, flow control, address notification, error correction
•
Media Access Control (MAC)
– Determines which computer has access to the network media at any given time
– Determines where one frame ends and the next one starts, called frame
synchronization
•
Responsible for moving packets
(data) from one end of the network to the other, called end-to-end communications
•
Requires logical addresses such as
IP addresses
•
Device example: Router
– Routing is the ability of various network devices and their related software to move
data packets from source to destination
•
Takes data from higher levels
of OSI Model and breaks it into segments that can be sent to lower-level layers
for data transmission
•
Conversely, reassembles data
segments into data that higher-level protocols and applications can use
•
Also puts segments in correct
order (called sequencing ) so they can be reassembled in correct order at
destination
•
Concerned with the reliability
of the transport of sent data
•
May use a connection-oriented protocol such as TCP to ensure destination
received segments
•
May use a connectionless protocol such as UDP to send segments without
assurance of delivery
•
Uses port addressing
•
Responsible for managing the
dialog between networked devices
•
Establishes, manages, and
terminates connections
•
Provides duplex, half-duplex,
or simplex communications between devices
•
Provides procedures for
establishing checkpoints, adjournment, termination, and restart or recovery
procedures
•
Concerned with how data is
presented to the network
•
Handles three primary tasks:
– Translation
– Compression
– Encryption
Translation
Compression
Encryption
• Changes
data so another type of computer can understand it
• Makes
data smaller to send more data in same amount of
time
• Encodes
data to protect from interception or eavesdropping
•
Contains all services or
protocols needed by application software or operating system to communicate on
the network
•
Examples
– Firefox web browser
uses HTTP (Hyper-Text
Transport Protocol)
– E-mail program may
use POP3 (Post Office
Protocol
version 3) to read e-mails and SMTP
(Simple
Mail Transport Protocol) to send e-mails
•
Each layer of OSI Model except
Physical adds its own header to the
data that originated from the operating system
– Adds own header in front of the header from the previous layer
– Header contains information that describes what each layer of the OSI Model should do
with the data
•
Data Link layer also adds a tailer
– Tailer contains additional information that deals with error correction
•
Built around the TCP/IP
protocol suite
– A protocol suite is a large number of related
protocols
that work together to allow networked computers to communicate
Encompasses same functions as these OSI Model layers
Application Presentation Session
•
Functions the same as the
Transport layer in OSI Model and part of Session layer
– TCP and other similar protocols take on some of the function of the Session layer
•Synchronize
source and destination computers to set up the session
between the respective computers
•
Performs:
– Same functions as
OSI Model Network Layer
– Many of the
functions of the Logical Link
Control
sublayer of the OSI Model’s Data Link layer
•
Primary protocol is Internet Protocol (IP)
•
Also uses Address Resolution
Protocol (ARP), which performs much of the LLC sublayer’s job in the area of
physical addressing
•
Performs much of the job of the
MAC portion of the Data Link and Physical layers of the OSI Model
•
TCP/IP Protocol does not
dictate what happens on Network Interface layer
•
TCP/IP protocol suite relies on
standards created by the various standards organizations concerning how to
encode bits onto media to do the work on this layer
•
CompTIA Network+ objectives
recognize alternate layer name for last layer in TCP/IP Model – the Link layer
•
Different protocols located on
the Application layer of the TCP/IP Model connect to different Transport layer protocols
– Exception: DNS protocol on the Application layer connects to both TCP (Transport Control
Protocol)
and UDP (User Datagram Protocol) protocols on the Transport layer
•
The OSI Model is a framework
and reference model to explain how different networking technologies work
together and interact.
•
The Physical layer of the OSI
Model deals with all aspects of physically moving
data from one computer to the next.
•
The Data Link layer of the OSI
Model is responsible for moving frames from node to
node or computer to computer.
•
The two sublayers of the Data
Link layer are the LLC and MAC.
•
The Network layer of the OSI
Model is responsible for moving packets (data) from
one end of the network to the other, called end-to-end communications.
•
The TCP/IP Model is built
around the TCP/IP protocol suite.
•
The Application layer of the
TCP/IP Model encompasses the same functions as the Application, Presentation,
and Session layers of the OSI Model.
•
The Transport layer of the
TCP/IP Model functions the same as the Transport layer in OSI Model and part
of Session layer.
•
The Internet of layer of the
TCP/IP Model Performs the same functions as the OSI Model Network layer and
many of the functions of the LLC sublayer of the OSI Model Data Link layer.
