PROTOCOLS AND
MODELS
PART-I
Chapter Objectives
PART-I
• Describe the types of rules that are necessary to successfully communicate.
• Explain why protocols are necessary in network communication.
• Explain the purpose of adhering to a protocol suite.
PART-II
• Explain how the TCP/IP model and the OSI model are used to facilitate standardization in
the communication process.
• Explain how data encapsulation allows data to be transported across the network.
• Explain how local hosts access local resources on a network
Communication Fundamentals
Networks can vary in size and complexity. It is not enough to have a connection, devices must
agree on “how” to communicate.
Correct format of addresses is required in human Fields of the Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) packet
communications when sending a letter identify the source of the packet and its destination
Message Size
Encoding between hosts must be in an appropriate format for the medium.
• Messages sent across the network are converted to bits
• The bits are encoded into a pattern of light, sound, or electrical impulses.
• The destination host must decode the signals to interpret the message.
It is necessary to break a long message into smaller pieces before sending it over the network
Message Timing
Message timing includes the following:
Flow Control – Manages the rate of data transmission and defines how much information can
be sent and the speed at which it can be delivered.
Response Timeout – Manages how long a device waits when it does not hear a reply from the
destination.
Function Description
Addressing Identifies sender and receiver
Reliability Provides guaranteed delivery
Flow Control Ensures data flows at an efficient rate
Sequencing Uniquely labels each transmitted segment of data
Error Detection Determines if data became corrupted during transmission
Application Interface Process-to-process communications between network applications
Protocol Interaction
• Networks require the use of several protocols.
• Each protocol has its own function and format.
Protocol Function
Hypertext Transfer Governs the way a web server and a web client interact
Protocol (HTTP) Defines content and format
Transmission Control Manages the individual conversations
Protocol (TCP) Provides guaranteed delivery
Manages flow control
Internet Protocol (IP) Delivers messages globally from the sender to the receiver
Ethernet Delivers messages from one NIC to another NIC on the same Ethernet Local
Area Network (LAN)
Network Protocol Suites
Protocols must be able to work with other
protocols.
Protocol suite:
• A group of inter-related protocols
necessary to perform a communication
function
• Sets of rules that work together to help
solve a problem
The protocols are viewed in terms of layers:
• Higher Layers
• Lower Layers- concerned with moving Face-to-face communication described in terms of layers
data and provide services to upper
layers
TCP/IP Protocol Example
• TCP/IP protocols operate at the
application, transport, and internet
layers.
• The most common network access
layer LAN protocols are Ethernet and
WLAN (wireless LAN).
