Introduction to Communication standards and protocols

All information and communications technology relies on standardised communications protocols to


operate effectively. A communications protocol is a set of formal rules describing how to transmit or exchange
data, especially across a network. A standardised communications protocol is one that has been codified as a
standard. Examples of these include WiFi, the Internet Protocol, and the Hypertext Transfer Protocol
(HTTP).The FAIR data principles state that data and metadata should be made accessible with standardised
communications protocols on the internet and in applications.

Main analog components used in communication standards and protocols:

Major components of a computer network are:


1. Message Format

 Syntax: Defines the structure and arrangement of the data (e.g., headers, footers, payloads).
 Encoding: Specifies how data is represented (e.g., binary, ASCII, JSON, XML).

2. Data Transmission

 Medium Access Control (MAC): Determines how devices access and share the communication
medium (e.g., Ethernet, Wi-Fi).
 Physical Layer: Specifies the hardware and physical means of data transfer (e.g., cables, radio
frequencies, signal modulation).

3. Addressing and Identification

 Addressing Mechanisms: Ensure that data reaches the correct destination (e.g., IP addresses, MAC
addresses, port numbers).
 Device Identification: Allows devices to identify themselves uniquely in a network (e.g., hostname,
UUID).

4. Error Detection and Correction

 Checksum or CRC (Cyclic Redundancy Check): Ensures data integrity by detecting errors during
transmission.
 Retransmission Mechanisms: Protocols like TCP resend lost or corrupted packets.

5. Flow Control

 Manages the rate of data transmission between sender and receiver to prevent congestion (e.g., sliding
window protocol in TCP).

6. Session Management

 Establishes, manages, and terminates connections between devices (e.g., handshake processes in TCP,
session tokens).

7. Security Mechanisms

 Encryption: Ensures data confidentiality (e.g., TLS, SSL).


 Authentication: Verifies the identity of communicating parties (e.g., passwords, certificates).
 Integrity: Guarantees data hasn’t been tampered with during transmission (e.g., hash functions,
HMAC).

8. Protocol Control Information

 Headers and Metadata: Contain control information such as source/destination addresses, sequence
numbers, and flags (e.g., HTTP headers, TCP/IP headers).

9. Routing and Switching

 Determines the path data packets take to reach their destination (e.g., IP routing, MPLS).

10. QoS (Quality of Service)

 Mechanisms to prioritize certain types of traffic to ensure performance (e.g., for video streaming, VoIP).

11. Interoperability Standards

 Rules that ensure compatibility between different systems and vendors (e.g., IEEE standards, RFCs).
Examples of Communication Protocols

 Application Layer Protocols: HTTP, FTP, SMTP, SNMP


 Transport Layer Protocols: TCP, UDP
 Network Layer Protocols: IP (IPv4, IPv6)
 Data Link Layer Protocols: Ethernet, PPP
 Physical Layer Standards: RS-232, 802.11 (Wi-Fi)

General Terms

1. Protocol: Rules and conventions for communication between network devices.


2. Standard: A specification set by organizations like IEEE, ISO, or ITU to ensure compatibility.
3. Interoperability: The ability of different systems to work together.
4. Bandwidth: The capacity of a communication channel to transmit data.
5. Latency: The delay in data transmission from source to destination.
6. Throughput: The actual amount of data transferred over a channel in a given time.

Layer-Specific Terms
Physical Layer

 Bit Rate: The number of bits transmitted per second.


 Signal Encoding: The method of representing data as signals (e.g., NRZ, Manchester).
 Modulation: The process of varying a signal to carry information (e.g., AM, FM, QAM).

Data Link Layer

 Frame: A packet of data at the data link layer.


 MAC Address: A unique hardware identifier for network devices.
 Error Detection/Correction: Techniques like CRC to ensure data integrity.

Network Layer

 IP Address: A logical address identifying devices on a network.


 Routing: The process of finding a path for data packets across networks.
 Subnet Mask: Defines network and host portions of an IP address.

Transport Layer

 Port: A logical endpoint for network communication (e.g., port 80 for HTTP).
 Socket: A combination of an IP address and a port number.
 Flow Control: Mechanisms like sliding window to manage data flow between sender and receiver.

Application Layer

 Handshake: An initial negotiation process to establish communication.


 Payload: The actual data being transmitted within a packet.
 HTTP/HTTPS: Protocols for web data transfer.

Security-Related Terms

 Encryption: Securing data by converting it into an unreadable format.


 TLS/SSL: Protocols for secure communication.
 Authentication: Verifying the identity of a user or device.

Wireless and Network Terms

 Frequency Band: The range of frequencies used for wireless communication (e.g., 2.4 GHz, 5 GHz).
 Channel: A specific frequency range used within a band.
 QoS (Quality of Service): Mechanisms to prioritize certain types of network traffic.
