3. Define the Pieces Hosts PC’s Send and Receive Information Directly connected to a Network Device Hosts PC’s Send and Receive Information Directly connected to a Network Device

4. Define the Pieces Peripherals Not directly connected to the Network, but are connected through a PC. Peripherals Not directly connected to the Network, but are connected through a PC.

5. Define the Pieces Network Devices Hub - Dumb device Whatever goes in one port comes out all ports Switch - Smart Device Connects only to the target device by using a lookup table Uses MAC addresses Network Devices Hub - Dumb device Whatever goes in one port comes out all ports Switch - Smart Device Connects only to the target device by using a lookup table Uses MAC addresses

6. Hub vs. Switch 1 Collision Domain for the Entire Device One Way Communication No Routing Table 1 Collision Domain for the Entire Device One Way Communication No Routing Table Each Port is a Collision Domain (Private Line) Two-way (Full Duplex) Communications Routing Table

7. Define the Pieces Router The major traffic cop Forwards by using IP Addresses Blocks Broadcasts This is what makes the Internet work Very Smart Routing Re-Routes traffic based upon changing conditions.

12. How Files are Moved Each Chunk called a “Packet” is individually acknowledged. If it is damaged or missing the receiving computer requests that it be resent. At the simplest level the header includes the number of bits in the packet. If the count is off an error is assumed. Each Chunk called a “Packet” is individually acknowledged.

13. How Files Are Moved Files are first broken down into packets That way is a piece needs to be resent due to an error, it wil be smaller and faster. Then they are encapsulated. Headers and footers are added to indicate sender and receiver. Packets are numbered so they can be identified for reassembly. They may not arrive in order.

14. Rules Rules are applied to control how data is organized. The term for these rules is a “protocol”. Every manufacturer must follow these rules so that all devices can communicate.

16. Encapsulation Turning a chunk of data into a packet to be sent is called encapsulation. This encoding process is then followed by de-encoding on the other end. Think of putting a letter into an envelope, then removing it from the envelope in order to read it. Turning a chunk of data into a packet to be sent is called encapsulation.
