Understanding Network Packets, Protocols and Archtectures


Peter Langrock
This flashcard set covers fundamental network protocols at a vocational school level, focusing on key concepts like IP addressing, ARP, Ethernet framing, and various network devices. It delves into protocol layers, message types, and network addressing schemes, including MAC and IP addresses. Ideal for networking professionals and students, this set helps understand how different protocols interact within a network, ensuring efficient data transmission and network management.

Flashcards

What is the Name of the process by which an upper- layer protocol is wrapped up in a lower- layer protocol?

Encapsulation

Name four communication models.

What two documents specify the standardization of the OSI model?

How many layers are in the OSI and TCP/IP models, respectively?

7/5

Name the layers of the OSI model.

Application, Presentation, Session, Transport, Network, Data Link, Physical

Name the layers of the TCP/IP model.

Application, Transport, Internet, Data Link, Physical

What two documents present and detail the use of the TCP/IP model?

RFCs 1122 and 1123

There are two forms of communication described in both standards. These forms are predominantly part of Layers 3 and 4. What are they?

Connection mode (oriented) and connectionless-mode

Network administrators typically have the ability to use whatever protocols they wish, regardless of the layer in question. True or false?

One big difference between the documentation of the TCP/IP and OSI standards is that the TCP/IP RFC specifies the protocols to be used and the OSI ITU-T model documentation does not. True or False?

For each address type or device, spezify its proper layer (Layer1, Layer 2, Layer 3 or Layer 4)
