What is the Transport Layer and its functions (3)?
The transport layer is to transport data between the network devices.
- Error Checking
- Service Addressing
- Segmentation
Name protocols are in the Session Layer?
NetBIOS
Network File System (NFS)
Server Message Block (SMB)
Advantages of NFV (3)
Network function virtualisation allows for
- Scalability
- Better Cost
- Rapid Deployment
Why do people use Authentication Header (AH) and Encapsulating Security Payload (ESP)
This ensures that the transmissions are not viewed, accessed or modified for people who do not have access for them
Name 3 security services IP Sec Provides
- Data Verification
- Protection from data tampering
- Private transactions
