Cards

Term
Application:
Definition
Supporting network applications. Such as FTP, HTTP, TCP. Interacts with software applications that implement communication.
Term
Presentation layer:
Definition
ensure that information sent from the application layer of one system will be readable by the application layer of another system. Some examples of presentation layer encoding and encryption
Term
Session layer:
Definition
The session layer establishes, manages, and terminates communication sessions between presentation layer entities. Synchronization, check-pointing and recovery of data exchange.
Term
Transport Layer
Definition
Process to process data transfer. (TCP & UDP)
Term
Network layer
Definition
ProvidesRouting of data-grams from source to destination.
Term
Data Link layer
Definition
The data link layer is where the logical information (i.e., IP addresses) is translated into the actual electrical pulses that travel over the physical layer.data transfer between neighboring network elements. (PPP, Ethernet)
Term
Physical Layer
Definition
Bits on a wire
Term
4 Sources of packet delay
Definition
Nodal processing delay, queuing delay, transmission delay, transmission delay
Term
Nodal processing delay:
Definition
Checks bit errors, determine output link.
Term
Queuing delay:
Definition
Time waiting at output link for transmission, depends on congestion level of router.
Term
Transmission delay:
Definition
R= link bandwidth(bps), L= packet length(bits), time to send bits into link = L/R
Term
Propagation delay
Definition
Propagation delay: D= length of physical link., S= speed of medium(~2x10^8 m/sec) Propagation delay = d/s
Term
Network Edge-
Definition
applications and hosts
Term
Network core-
Definition
interconnected routers, network of networks
Term
Flow Control:
Definition
Sender won’t overwhelm receiver.
Term
Congestion Control:
Definition
Sender slows down sending rate when network is congested.
Term
UDP
Definition
Connectionless, unreliable data transfer, no flow/congestion control.
-Apps: streaming media, teleconferencing, DNS, Internet telephony
Term
Dialup speeds
Definition
up to 56 Kbps
Term
DSL speeds
Definition
up to 1Mbps upstream, up to 8Mbps down stream
Term
HFC(hybrid fiber coax) speeds:
Definition
up to 2 Mbps upstream, 30 downstrea
Term
Ethernet speeds
Definition
10 Mbps, 100Mbps, 1Gbps, 10Gbps
Term
Circuit switching:
Definition
dedicated circuit per call: telephone net
Term
Packet Switching
Definition
data sent thru net in discrete “chunks”
Term
FTP out of band
Definition
FTP uses separate control connection to send its control information
Term
Type=A
Definition
To find IP address for hostname
Term
Type= NS
Definition
To find hostname of name server
Term
Type = CNAME
Definition
Gives you (canonical) real name from hostname
Term
Type=MX
Definition
Gives name of mail server
