  21. Web Technology (bonus) • The Internet Protocol Stack • Application Ports Chapter 7: The Web and E-mail

  22. Internet Protocol Stack • Nodes attached to the Internet implement a standard set of capabilities to allow communications between dissimilar systems across dissimilar communications links • The standard protocol “stack” is implemented in a layered design to support modularity and ease of implementation in many different environments. Chapter 7: The Web and E-mail

  23. HTTP, etc. TCP or UDP IP Ethernet UTP, fiber, etc. application transport network link physical Internet Protocol Stack • Think of each layer as a different system software program that runs on your computer. • The upper layers allow like applications to communicate • The lower layers allow like devices to communicate APPLICATION CATEGORY DEPENDENT OPERATING SYSTEM CONTROLLED NETWORKE HARDWARE DEPENDENT Chapter 7: The Web and E-mail
