Operation of IP Networks Flashcards
Mnemonic for OSI Model (from TOP-to-BOTTOM)
All People Seem To Need Data Processing
Define Layer 1 functions and DoD model equivalent
1) Sending and Receiving Bits
2) Converting data bits into Electrical Pulses, Radio Waves, or Pulses of Light
3) Defining the Mechanical, Electrical, Procedural, and Functional specifications for Activating, Maintaining, and Deactivating the physical link between systems
Equivalent to the Network Access DoD Layer.

Please Do Not Throw Sausage Pizza Away
Define Layer 2 functions and DoD Model equivalent
1) Logical Link Control(LLC) sublayer is responsible for:
- Error Recovery of data through Retransmitting
- using Sequencing for maintaining orderly delivery of frames
- Flow Control of data (Windowing, Acknowledgements, Buffering)
2) Media Access Control (MAC) sublayer is responsible for:
- Physical Addressing for data transmission
- Error Checking by adding Cyclical Redundancy Check (CRC)
- identifying Network topologies and devices
Equivalent to the Network Access DoD Layer.
Define Layer 3 functions and DoD Model equivalent
1) Logical Addressing
2) Path Determination (identification and selection)
3) Routing Packets
4) Maintaining a list of known Networks and Addresses of Routers
Equivalent to Internet DoD Layer.
Define Layer 4 functions and DoD Model equivalent
1) Reliable or Unreliable data transport
2) End-to-end Flow Control
3) Segmenting, Sequencing, and Combination
4) Using Port(or Socket) Numbers for identifying distinct applications running on the same system
Equivalent to the Host-to-host DoD Layer.
Define Layer 5 functions and DoD Model equivalent
1) Keeping Data Streams separate from each other.
2) Establishing, Maintaining, and Tearing down sessions.
3) 3 modes used to coordinate and organize communication between applications at the Session layer: Simplex, Half-Duplex, and Full-Duplex modes.
Equivalent to the Application/Process DoD Layer.
Define Layer 6 functions and DoD Model equivalent
1) Translating and Formatting data
2) Encrypting, Decrypting, Compressing, and Decompressing
Equivalent to the Application/Process DoD Layer.
Define Layer 7 functions and DoD Model equivalent
1) Providing an interface for the user to communicate with the computer directly
2) Enabling Network Services on the OS
3) Determining the availability of communication partners, and the required resources for communication
Equivalent to the Application/Process DoD Layer
Define the OSI Model.
A Reference Model that organizes and defines the steps that data takes to travel across the network from one system to another.
Router
1) Layer 3 Device
2) Breaks up Broadcast Domains
3) Packet Selection and Routing
Switch
1) Layer 2 Device
2) Breaks ups Collision Domains
3) Can intelligently forward data to only destination address
4) Filters, Floods, and Forwards Frames
Bridge
1) Layer 2 Device
2) Connects media segments that use the same protocols
3) Filters or Forwards traffic based on destination address
4) Software based
5) Breaks of Collision Domains but creates one Broadcast Domain
Hub
1) Layer 1 Device
2) Repeats received data out all ports except the port it received it on
3) Creates one collision domain and one broadcast domain
Upper OSI Model Layers
Defines how end stations communicate with each other and the user.
Lower OSI Model Layers
Defines how data is transmitted end-to-end.
Flow Control
“ready” and “not ready” signals
- A way for the receiving device to control the amount of data sent by the sender.
