4. Protocol
Concepts
• Protocols are sets of rules.
• What do you want to do? (Application)
• Where are you going? (Addressing)
• How do you get there? (Media types)
• Did you get there? (Acknowledgments,
Error checking)
5. Network
Types
• Personal Area Network(PAN)
Is a small network established for communication between
different devices, such as laptops, computers, mobiles.
• Local Area Network (LAN)
A high speed network that covers a relatively small geographic
area, contained within a single building or campus.
• Wide Area Network (WAN)
A network that spans large geographical locations, usually to
interconnect multiple LANs.
• Metropolitan Area Network (MAN)
A network that spans several LANs across a city-wide geographic
area.
15. OSI Model
• OSI (Open Systems Interconnection) is reference
model for how applications can communicate over a
network. A reference model is a conceptual framework
for understanding relationships.
• In 1978, Open System Interconnection (OSI) model was
introduced.
17. TCP/IP
Reference
Model
• TCP/IP meansTransmissionControl Protocol and
Internet Protocol. It is the network model used in the
current Internet architecture as well. Protocols are set
of rules which govern every possible communication
over a network.These protocols describe the
movement of data between the source and destination
or the internet.These protocols offer simple naming
and addressing schemes
