18
Q

What are all the Network Protocols?

A

TCP/IP
HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol)
HTTPS (HTTP Secure)
FTP (File Transfer Protocol)
POP (Post Office Protocol)
IMAP (Internet Message Action Protocol)

19
Q

What does HTTP stand for?

A

Hypertext Transfer Protocol

20
Q

What does HTTPS stand for?

A

HTTP Secure

21
Q

What does FTP stand for?

A

File Transfer Protocol

22
Q

What does POP stand for?

A

Post Office Protocol

23
Q

What does IMAP stand for?

A

Internet Message Action Protocol

24
Q

What does SMTP stand for?

A

Simple Mail Transfer Protocol

25
Q

What is TCP/IP?

A

A set of protocols that allow computers on multiple networks, including the internet, to transmit and receive data packets

26
Q

What is HTTP?

A

Rules followed by web servers and web clients, or browsers, which host, and present websites based on our requests

27
Q

What is HTTPS?

A

Encrypts communication between server and client – makes secure online shopping and banking possible

28
Q

What is FTP?

A

Used to connect clients and servers across a network to exchange files. Traditionally used to upload files to a web server

29
Q

What is POP?

A

Used to log in to and retrieve email messages from a mail server. When connected, all messages are downloaded to that device.

30
Q

What is IMAP?

A

Allow access to an email server but, rather than downloading messages, they are simply read. Allows synchronised access from multiple devices, unlike POP.

31
Q

What is SMTP?

A

Used to send emails messages to an email server rather than to receive messages

32
Q

What are layers?

A

set of protocols with specific functions.

33
Q

What layers can data be transmitted between?

A

Adjacent layers

34
Q

What is an Application Layer?

A

Data relevant to web browsers and email clients – HTTP, FTP, SMTP

35
Q

What is a Transport Layer?

A

Ensures that data is sent and received correctly between network hosts - TCP

36
Q

What is an Internet/Network Layer?

A

Communicates the IP addresses of all devices used in data traffic between network routers - IP

37
Q

What is a Data Link Layer?

A

Concerned with physical data transfer over cables - Ethernet
