Understanding TCP/IP: An Overview of Networking Concepts and Protocols

This comprehensive guide explores the fundamentals of TCP/IP from a high-level perspective. It covers key concepts such as local area networks, routers, and the layered architecture of the TCP/IP software stack. Learn about the functions and protocols at each layer, including the differences between reliable TCP and fast but unreliable UDP. The text provides practical questions for self-assessment, encouraging readers to apply their knowledge of networking principles. Ideal for those interested in internet concepts, application development, and network technology.

  1. TCP/IP from 10,000 feet Skills: none Concepts: local area network, router, inter network, the TCP/IP layered software “stack”, layer functions, layer protocols, dumb versus smart networks This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial-Share Alike 3.0 License.

  2. Where does this topic fit? • Internet concepts • Applications • Technology • Implications • Internet skills • Application development • Content creation • User skills

  3. TCP/IP from the outside Application Program, for example, a Web client Application Program, for Example, a Web server A TCP/IP network

  4. TCP/IP, the very big picture

  5. TCP/IP layers

  6. Establish the temporary connection between the two computers • Packetize the data • Make sure the packets get to the correct program on the receiving computer • Optionally check for and correcting transmission errors or out of sequence packets • Optionally slow transmission if the receiving computer cannot keep up with the data flow Why optional?

  7. Two transport layer protocols TCP (reliable) or UDP (unreliable)

  10. Protocols at each layer

  11. Summary

  12. Self-study questions Do you have a LAN at home? How many computers connect to it There is only one connection leading out from your home router – where does it forward packets to? When you connect to the Internet using a mobile device like a phone or a tablet, are you connecting to a network that is connected to the Internet? Explain. We saw that there were two commonly protocols at the transport layer – TCP for reliable communication and UDP for fast, but unreliable communication. Which would an application programmer use for a file-transfer program? Which would an application programmer use for a streaming video program? Explain your answers.

  13. Do you recall the names of the TCP/IP protocol layers?

  14. Do you recall the functions of the software at each layer? Application: Transport: Internet: Data link: Physical:

  15. Do you recall the protocol(s) used at each layer? Application: Transport: Internet: Data link: Physical:
