8. Physical Layer (Layer 1) Defines how bits are converted to voltages or sounds Defines signal to noise ratios for various types of cables, laser wavelength use for fiber optic cable

9. TCP/IP – Structure Terminology Data (L5-7, application layer) meant to be sent across a TCP/IP network is called a message. Message is passed to transport layer (L4), TCP or UDP header added, and now is called a segment. Network layer (L3) adds routing and addressing to message. Packet is now called a datagram. Data link layer (L2) adds header and trailer, now called frame. At every point, the data can be called a packet.

10. IP Addresses Current IP addresses are IPv4, 32 bits Called dotted quad notation Called dotted quad notation Contain a network and host number Contain a network and host number x.x.x.x, x = 0 - 255 x.x.x.x, x = 0 - 255 Was traditionally divided into classes (class A, class B, class C) and subnets indicated by the netmask Was traditionally divided into classes (class A, class B, class C) and subnets indicated by the netmask Classless Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR) notation has replaced classed notation. Classless Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR) notation has replaced classed notation. Refers to how many bits make up the network portion of the address Class C = /24 (254 usable hosts) /27 = 1/8 of a Class C (30 usable hosts) Future Internet2 addressing will be IPv6, 128 bits, and includes built in security and QOS

11. LAN Technology Local Area Network media addresses needs of small distances. Wide Area Network (WAN) media addresses needs of large distances. WANs are always formed when LANs are connected by routers.

12. LAN Terminology Unicast Packet is sent from one station to another Packet is sent from one station to anotherMulticast Packet is sent from one station to several specific stations Packet is sent from one station to several specific stationsBroadcast Packet is sent from one station to all other computers on a segment, regardless of collision domain Packet is sent from one station to all other computers on a segment, regardless of collision domainSegment Division in a network, separated by a router Division in a network, separated by a router

13. TCP/IP – TCP Protocol Connection oriented protocol Ensures delivery of packets using packet acknowledgement and retransmission Ensures sequencing of packets Provides flow and congestion control Provides error detection and correction High overhead, high reliability

14. TCP packets include code bits in header URG – Urgent Pointer URG – Urgent Pointer ACK – Acknowledgement of earlier transmission ACK – Acknowledgement of earlier transmission PSH – Push Function, used to flush data PSH – Push Function, used to flush data RST – Indicates connection should be reset RST – Indicates connection should be reset SYN – Indicates system should sync sequence number for session, packet must include Initial Sequence Number (ISN) SYN – Indicates system should sync sequence number for session, packet must include Initial Sequence Number (ISN) FIN – Indicate session is finished and should be torn down FIN – Indicate session is finished and should be torn down Normal session begins with 3 way handshake

15. 3-Way Handshake System A Port 1234 System B Port 80 SYN with ISN A ACK ISN A & SYN with ISN B ACK ISN B Communication Session

16. TCP is port oriented to separate multiple TCP sessions Source computer includes source IP address and random port number (>1023) Destination includes destination IP address and well known port number (generally <1024) well known port numberwell known port number Protocols using TCP include FTP (port 21), SMTP (port 25), POP3 (port 110), HTTP (port 80)

17. TCP/IP – UDP Protocol Connectionless, best-effort No packet sequencing No flow or congestion control No acknowledgment of packets Used when reliability is not important, such as streaming audio or video Much lower overhead Much harder for firewalls to police and control

18. ARP Address Resolution Protocol All network cards have a Media Access Control (MAC) address Unique 24 bit number made up of manufacturer code and serial number Unique 24 bit number made up of manufacturer code and serial number Used to create cross-reference between MAC addresses and IP addresses at data link layer (L2) Station sends out an ARP broadcast containing an IP address, only the match responds Responses have a lifetime and are refreshed after expiration ARP Table Poisoning attacks used to reroute traffic

19. ICMP Internet Control Message Protocol Basic network layer (L3) messenger protocol Low priority Ping Test communication between two stations Test communication between two stationsTraceroute Traces each hop between two stations Traces each hop between two stations
