TCP/IP

Home > Transportation > Bus > TCP/IP

A set of protocols that governs how data is transmitted and received over a network, including the internet.

IP Addressing: Understanding the structure and usage of IP addresses, including classes, subnetting, and CIDR notation.
Protocols of TCP/IP: Understanding the layers that make up the TCP/IP stack, their functions and included protocols.
Socket Programming: Learning how to write programs that communicate via TCP/IP sockets.
Address Resolution Protocol (ARP): Understanding how ARP resolves IP addresses to media access control (MAC) addresses.
Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP): Understanding how ICMP is used for error detection, diagnostics, and troubleshooting.
Transmission Control Protocol (TCP): Understanding TCP's role in communicating between computers, including flow control, congestion avoidance, and reliability.
User Datagram Protocol (UDP): Understanding UDP's lower overhead and faster performance, but less reliable communication.
Domain Name System (DNS): Understanding DNS's role in translating domain names to IP addresses.
Routing: Understanding how routers direct data packets to their intended destination.
Network Address Translation (NAT): Understanding how NAT allows multiple devices to share a single public IP address.
Internet Protocol Security (IPsec): Understanding how IPsec is used for secure communication between devices.
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP): Understanding how DHCP assigns IP addresses and network configuration information automatically.
Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP): Understanding SMTP's role in transferring email between servers.
File Transfer Protocol (FTP): Understanding FTP's role in transferring files between computers over a TCP-based network.
Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP): Understanding HTTP's role in transferring web page data from a server to a client application.
"The Internet protocol suite, commonly known as TCP/IP..."
"The foundational protocols in the suite are the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP), the User Datagram Protocol (UDP), and the Internet Protocol (IP)."
"Early versions of this networking model were known as the Department of Defense (DoD) model because the research and development were funded by the United States Department of Defense through DARPA."
"The Internet protocol suite provides end-to-end data communication specifying how data should be packetized, addressed, transmitted, routed, and received."
"This functionality is organized into four abstraction layers..."
"From lowest to highest, the layers are the link layer, the internet layer, the transport layer, and the application layer."
"...containing communication methods for data that remains within a single network segment (link)."
"...providing internetworking between independent networks."
"The transport layer handles host-to-host communication."
"The application layer provides process-to-process data exchange for applications."
"The technical standards underlying the Internet protocol suite and its constituent protocols are maintained by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF)."
"The Internet protocol suite predates the OSI model, a more comprehensive reference framework for general networking systems." Please note that I have provided twelve study questions, as the paragraph you provided does not contain enough information to generate an additional eight questions.
