CHP 7: Computer Network (7.1 Internet protocols and network hardware)
  1. Internet Protocols: a set of rules use for transferring data and communication between computers
    1. Layer 1: Physical [data is transfer bit by bit]
      1. modems
      2. Layer 2: Data link [act upon request from both network layer and physical layer]
        1. WiFi
          1. Ethernet: set of protocols used to operate LAN
            1. Hardware: PC, printer, server, hubs, switches, routers, cables
          2. Layer 3: Network/Internet [responsible for forwarding packets]
            1. Internet Protocol (IP)
            2. Layer 4: Transport [dividing data into smaller packets]
              1. transmission control protocol (TCP)
                1. user datagram protocol (UDP)
                2. Layer 5: Application [deliver services to Internet layer]
                  1. file transfer protocol (FTP)
                    1. hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP)
                      1. telecommunication network (Telnet)
                        1. secure shell (SSH)
                      2. parts that makes up a network
                        1. TCP/IP
                          1. TCP makes sure that data is transmitted accurately (faster than UDP because of connection-oriented service), soit's preferred for real-time applications)
                            1. IP (four bytes of data) makes sure it delivers all the small packets to the correct address using IP addresses
                            2. handshaking: rate of data transfer, type of data, solutions between computers are agreed
                              1. parity check: must be an even number of 1s in the code (eg. 10010101)
                                1. If there's an odd number of 1s in the code: the parity bit (the first number in the code) will have to change to 1
                              2. UDP: limits the speed of data transfer
                                1. Disadvantage: cannot check whether the data as sent or not, data packets sent in wrong order
                                  1. advantage: reduce loss of data, slower than TCP. suitable for Internet telephony and video-on-demand systems
                                  2. FTP uses TCP/IP to transmit data for downloading through Internet straight from the server.
                                    1. HTTP uses TCP/IP to transmit data through Internet (what you see on a webpage).
                                      1. Telnet use for gaining access to another computer and use software and data from that computer. Happens on Internet or LAN.
                                        1. The commands are made from the remote computer but the results will be shown on the user's screen.
                                        2. SSH is more secure than Telnet and FTP so it use for securing data transfer between devices. The password encrypted will allow the server to provide service.
                                        3. Hardware
                                          1. network hub: allows multiple computers to be connected and form a network. It doesn't read the data transmitted but will send too ALL computers in the network. Congestion might happen resulting to a slower data transfer.
                                            1. Passive hub: It doesn't amplify the signal, it just sends the data packets.
                                              1. Active hub: amplify signals to prevent interruption while transmitting data. Use mostly in huge networks.
                                              2. switches: better than hubs because data transferred will not block up and it is faster. It stores every address of every device connected to it.
                                                1. disadvantage: it will not know the senders address but will know the receiver address.
                                                  1. How it works: When the receiver got the data packets, it will send an acknowledgement back to the sender's address. The address stored are called media access control (MAC) NOT IP.
                                                  2. routers: allows data to be transfer in between different types of networks to be able to connect to the Internet. It has firewalls to provide network network. This hardware will inspect every packets of data transferred.
                                                    1. How it works: When data is transfer, it will go through switches and match up the MAC address. If MAC address does not match then it will move on to another switch.
                                                    2. servers runs many aspects of a computer to be part of the Internet.
                                                      1. file servers are use for storing documents, videos, etc. It allows users to save the data rather than a physical copy in their computers.
                                                        1. Applications servers allows users to save data onto their hard-disks.
                                                        2. cables
                                                          1. twisted pair: two conducting wire twisted around each other, reduces data loss
                                                            1. suitable for Ethernet and Local Talk networks
                                                              1. coaxial cables: conducting wire covered with non-conducting layer and covered in conducting material and a PVC jacket.
                                                                1. fibre optic: cables: individually coated with plastic resin and a plastic layer.
                                                                2. network interface cards (NIC) slides in the motherboard to enable connection with the server or other computers. It identifies the IP address for data transfers.
