Cards

Term
transport layer
Definition
- responsible for end-to-end delivery of messages
- interacts with application layer
Term
network layer
Definition
-responsible for addressing and routing messages
-performs encapsulation and decapsulation
Term
TCP/IP
Definition
transmission control protocol/internet protocol
Term
encapsulation
Definition
adds network layer header to message segments
Term
decapsulation
Definition
removes the network layer header at receiving end and passes them up o the transport layer
Term
TCP
Definition
-transmission control protocol
-links the application layer to the network layer
-performs packetization and reassembly
Term
packetization
Definition
- breaks large message into smaller packets
- numbers the packets
- reassembles the packets at the desination end
Term
IP
Definition
- internet protocol
- addressing and routing packets
- versions: IPv4, IPv6
Term
transport layer functions
Definition
- linking to application layer
- segmenting
- session management (connection oriented, connectionless, quality of service)
Term
UDP
Definition
- user datagram protocol
- used for connectionless routing in TCP/IP
Term
ATM
Definition
asynchronous transfer mode
Term
network layer functions
Definition
addressing and routing
Term
ICANN
Definition
internet corporation for assigned names and numbers
Term
DHCP
Definition
dynamic host control protocol
Term
ARP
Definition
address resolution protocol
Term
DNS
Definition
- domain name service
- used to determine IP adress for a given URL
Term
types of routing
Definition
centralized - made by one computer
decentralized - made by each node independently of one another
Term
types of decentralized routing
Definition
static - fixed routing tables
dynamic - routing tables at each node
Term
RIP
Definition
- routing information protocol
- dynamic distance vector interior routing protocol
Term
OSPF
Definition
- open shortest path first
- link state is used by this
- dynamic link state interior routing protocol
Term
dynamic routing algorithms
Definition
- distance vector - least number or hops
- link state 0 variety of information types to decide how to route a packet.
Term
routing protocols
Definition
- exchange info among nodes
- interior routing protocols (RIP, OSPF, EIGRP, ICMP)
-exterior routing protocols (BGP)
Term
EIGRP
Definition
enhanced interior gateway routing protocol
