Cards

Term
Network
Definition
Two or more devices connected together in order to pass data
Term
OSI Model
Definition
7 Layer networking model: 1:Physical, 2:Data Link, 3:Network, 4:Transport, 5:Session, 6:Presentation, 7:Application
Term
Application Layer
Definition
OSI Model Layer 7: Ensures that remote user is available, needed connection devices exist, both user devices agree on protocals for data privacy, integrity, and error recovery. Provides network authentication.
Term
Application Layer 7 Protocols
Definition
Email protocols SMTP and POP3, Telnet, HTTP, File Transfer Protocol (FTP), Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
Term
Presentation Layer
Definition
OSI Model Layer 6: Checks compatibility with operating system, properly encapsulates data for network transmision, properly formats data, and encrypts, compresses, and translates data.
Term
Presentation Layer 6 file types
Definition
JPEG,ASCII,GIF,MPEG,MIDI,EBCDIC, and TIFF
Term
Session Layer
Definition
OSI Model Layer 5: manages two-way communication between hosts. Creates, maintains, and tearsdown communication sessions.
Term
Transport Layer
Definition
OSI Model Layer 4: establishes logical end-to-end connection between two systems. Segments data from upper layers and ensures data is delivered in correct order and without errors.
Term
Transport Layer 4 methods of transport
Definition
Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) and User Datagram Protocol (UDP)
Term
Network Layer
Definition
OSI Model Layer 3: Routing layer, validates existing paths from local router to a given destination and determines optimal path to get to that destination. Internet Protocol (IP) runs on this layer.
Term
Data Link Layer
Definition
OSI Model Layer 2: Switching layer, layer at which internet access devices connect(i.e., Modems, Wireless Access Points (WAPS), Switches, and Hubs). Performs error detection with Frame Check Sequencing, but does not perform error recovery. Uses MAC addresses as Layer 2 addresses
Term
Data Link Layer 2 specifications
Definition
Ethernet, High Data Link Control (HDLC), Point-to-point Protocol (PPP), Frame Relay
Term
MAC address
Definition
Hardware addresses, physical addresses, burned-in address (BIA); physically burned into Network Interface Card (NIC)by the manufacturer of the device.
Term
Physical Layer
Definition
OSI Model Layer 1: Handles actual data transmission as binary 1's and 0's. Includes physical connections of electrical current across cables and connectors and the network standards governing their use.
Term
Application, Presentation, and Session layer PDU
Definition
Data
Term
Transport Layer PDU
Definition
Segment
Term
Network Layer PDU
Definition
Packet
Term
Data Link Layer PDU
Definition
Frame
Term
Physical Layer Unit
Definition
Bit (1 or 0)
Term
Header
Definition
Identifier added to the begining of each data unit of each layer that is removed by that same layer at the other end of the transmission.
Term
Trailer
Definition
Identifier added along with the Data Link Header by the Data Link layer to identify the end of the transmitted data unit
Term
PDU
Definition
Protocol Data Unit - combonation of layer header and data passed to that layer from previous layer
Term
Same-layer interaction
Definition
Action of a layer removing layer header of the same layer on the transmission side of a connection
Term
Adjacent-layer interaction
Definition
Action taken between layers on same side of transmission. (Addition of headers to previous PDU)
Term
TCP IP Model
Definition
4 layer network model combining layers of OSI model. Layer 1: Network Access (Data Link, Physical), Layer 2: Internet (Network), Layer 3: Transport (Transport), Layer 4: Application (Application, Presentation, Session)
Term
TCP
Definition
Transmission Control Protocol: Guaranteed delivery, Error detection via sequence and Acknowledge numbers, Windowing, Connection-oriented
Term
UDP
Definition
User Datagram Protocol: best-effort delivery, but no guarantee of delivery, no error detection, no windowing, connectionless.
Term
Three-Way Handshake
Definition
TCP negotiation between transmitting host and recieving host using synchronization (SYN) segments and Acknowledge (ACK) segments to establish connection.
Term
Order of TCP connection segments
Definition
SYN sent, SYN/ACK reply, ACK sent to establish connection, FIN (Finish) bit sent to end connection.
Term
TCP Error detection and recovery
Definition
Sequence Numbers sent to establish order of segments, Acknowledge number replied with next sequence number expected. If number is correct transmission continues, if not (error detection) original sequence is resent (error recovery).
Term
PAR
Definition
Positive Acknowledgement with Retransmission: Sending host sets timer for recieving an ACK segment, if ACK segment is not received in that time host resends SYN segment.
Term
Windowing
Definition
Recieving host sets amount of data flow it can recieve and sends this window size to the sending host. The windo size is dynamically set depending on the amount of errors detected. Dynamic adjustment known as sliding window.
Term
Port Numbers
Definition
Identifies data flows between devices, pre-assigned by host or by protocol standard. Allows for multiplexing of diferent forms of data into the same stream.
Term
Socket
Definition
notation of IP, transport protocol, and port number (example: 192.76.1.2, UDP, 69 or 192.76.1.2:69)
Term
