Advanced Higher Computing Computer NetworkingTopic 1: Network Protocols and Standards
Standards • Standards are needed to guarantee interoperability of both hardware and software • Standards can be established by agreement or imposed by a dominant manufacturer
Standards Organisations • The International Standards Organisation (ISO) • The Institute of Electronic Electrical Engineers (IEEE) • The Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) • Internet Architecture Board (IAB)
Advantages and Disadvantages • Standards guarantee interoperability • Standards are public • Standards can impede development • Standards can make security harder
The OSI Network model • Application • Presentation • Session • Transport • Network • Data Link • Physical Layers are: Modular and Transparent
The Internet Architecture Model • Application • Transport • Internet • Network
ISO/OSI model Internet Architecture Model Protocols / Standards Application Layer Application Layer Telnet, FTP, POP3, SMTP, DNS Presentation Layer Session Layer Transport Layer Transport Layer TCP, UDP Network Layer Internet Layer IP, ICMP Data Link Network Layer SLIP, PPP, Ethernet, Token Ring (FDDI), ATM Physical Layer Mapping TCP/IP to OSI
TCP: A Connection Oriented protocol Responsible for: • Initiating and terminating a connection between two hosts • Providing a reliable delivery of data • Flow control
IP: A Connectionless protocol Responsible for: • Host to host addressing • Packet forwarding • Fragmentation and reassembly of packets if required • Fault isolation and congestion control (ICMP)
