TCP/IP MODEL

 

HISTORY OF TCP/IP MODEL

THE TCP/IP MODEL WAS DEVELOPED BY VINT CERF AND BOB KAHN IN THE 1970S. THEY WERE BOTH WORKING AT THE DEFENSE ADVANCED RESEARCH PROJECTS AGENCY (DARPA) AT THE TIME.

Vint Cerf And Bob Kahn

CERF AND KAHN WERE TASKED WITH DEVELOPING A NEW NETWORK PROTOCOL THAT WOULD BE MORE RELIABLE AND EFFICIENT THAN THE EXISTING PROTOCOLS. THEY CAME UP WITH THE IDEA OF USING A LAYERED APPROACH, WHICH WOULD ALLOW EACH LAYER TO FOCUS ON A SPECIFIC TASK. THIS LED TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE TCP/IP MODEL, WHICH IS STILL THE BASIS FOR HOW DATA IS TRANSMITTED OVER THE INTERNET TODAY.

CERF AND KAHN ARE OFTEN REFERRED TO AS THE "FATHERS OF THE INTERNET" FOR THEIR WORK ON THE TCP/IP MODEL. THEY WERE INDUCTED INTO THE NATIONAL INVENTORS HALL OF FAME IN 2004 FOR THEIR CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE INTERNET.

HERE ARE SOME OTHER NOTABLE PEOPLE WHO CONTRIBUTED TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE TCP/IP MODEL:



JON POSTEL: POSTEL WAS THE FIRST CHAIRMAN OF THE INTERNET ENGINEERING TASK FORCE (IETF), WHICH IS RESPONSIBLE FOR MAINTAINING AND EVOLVING THE TCP/IP PROTOCOL SUITE.

MIKE CORRIGAN: CORRIGAN WAS ONE OF THE FIRST PEOPLE TO IMPLEMENT THE TCP/IP PROTOCOL ON A REAL NETWORK. HE DID THIS AT THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, LOS ANGELES (UCLA) IN THE EARLY 1970S.

STEVE CROCKER


STEVE CROCKER: CROCKER WAS ONE OF THE FIRST PEOPLE TO PROPOSE THE IDEA OF USING A LAYERED APPROACH TO NETWORK PROTOCOLS. HE ALSO DEVELOPED THE DOMAIN NAME SYSTEM (DNS), WHICH IS USED TO TRANSLATE DOMAIN NAMES INTO IP ADDRESSES.

TCP/IP MODEL

THE TCP/IP MODEL IS A CONCEPTUAL MODEL THAT DESCRIBES HOW DATA IS TRANSMITTED OVER THE INTERNET. IT IS A FOUR-LAYER MODEL THAT DIVIDES NETWORK COMMUNICATIONS INTO FOUR DISTINCT CATEGORIES OR LAYERS. THE MODEL IS OFTEN REFERRED TO AS THE TCP/IP STACK.

THE FOUR LAYERS OF THE TCP/IP MODEL ARE:

APPLICATION LAYER:

THIS LAYER IS CLOSEST TO THE END USER. IT IS RESPONSIBLE FOR PROVIDING SERVICES TO APPLICATIONS THAT NEED TO COMMUNICATE OVER THE NETWORK. SOME OF THE PROTOCOLS THAT OPERATE AT THIS LAYER INCLUDE HTTP, FTP, AND SMTP.

TRANSPORT LAYER:

THIS LAYER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR PROVIDING RELIABLE END-TO-END COMMUNICATION BETWEEN APPLICATIONS. IT DOES THIS BY BREAKING THE DATA UP INTO SMALLER UNITS CALLED SEGMENTS AND THEN PROVIDING A MECHANISM FOR ENSURING THAT THE SEGMENTS ARE DELIVERED CORRECTLY. SOME OF THE PROTOCOLS THAT OPERATE AT THIS LAYER INCLUDE TCP AND UDP.

INTERNET LAYER: 

THIS LAYER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR ROUTING DATA PACKETS ACROSS THE NETWORK. IT DOES THIS BY ASSIGNING EACH PACKET A UNIQUE ADDRESS THAT IDENTIFIES THE DESTINATION OF THE PACKET. SOME OF THE PROTOCOLS THAT OPERATE AT THIS LAYER INCLUDE IP AND ICMP.

LINK LAYER: 

THIS LAYER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR PROVIDING THE PHYSICAL CONNECTION BETWEEN DEVICES ON THE NETWORK. IT DOES THIS BY DEFINING THE WAY THAT DATA IS TRANSMITTED OVER A PHYSICAL MEDIUM, SUCH AS AN ETHERNET CABLE OR A WIRELESS SIGNAL. SOME OF THE PROTOCOLS THAT OPERATE AT THIS LAYER INCLUDE ETHERNET AND PPP.

THE TCP/IP MODEL IS A HIERARCHICAL MODEL, WHICH MEANS THAT EACH LAYER RELIES ON THE LAYERS BELOW IT TO PERFORM ITS FUNCTION. FOR EXAMPLE, THE TRANSPORT LAYER CANNOT FUNCTION WITHOUT THE INTERNET LAYER, AND THE INTERNET LAYER CANNOT FUNCTION WITHOUT THE LINK LAYER.

THE TCP/IP MODEL IS A VERY IMPORTANT MODEL FOR UNDERSTANDING HOW DATA IS TRANSMITTED OVER THE INTERNET. IT IS ALSO A VERY IMPORTANT MODEL FOR UNDERSTANDING HOW DIFFERENT NETWORK PROTOCOLS WORK TOGETHER TO PROVIDE RELIABLE AND EFFICIENT COMMUNICATION.

CSST COURSE 1.0

Q1. WHAT IS A ADDRESSING. Network addressing is like a two-part delivery system:   Logical Addressing (IP): This is like your permanent address (e.g., 192.168.1.1) that lets data find your device anywhere on the internet. Physical Addressing (MAC): Think of this as a unique ID for your device's network card (AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF) used for local delivery within your network. Q2. WHAT IS A PACKET AND FRAME . Packets: Layer: Network Layer (Layer 3) Content: The actual data you want to send, like an email, a video, or website information. Addressing: Contains logical addresses (IP addresses) to identify the sender and receiver on the network. Size: Can vary depending on the data type, but generally larger than frames. Travels across networks: Packets can travel across different networks, like the internet, as they are routed based on IP addresses. Frames: Layer: Data Link Layer (Layer 2) Content: The packet wrapped with additional information for local deliver...

DOS AND DDOS ATTACK

A Dos (Denial-Of-Service) Attack and A DDOS (Distributed Denial-Of-Service) Attack Are Both Attempts to Make a Computer System or Network Resource Unavailable to Legitimate Users. However, They Differ in How They Achieve This: Dos Attack: Imagine A Single Person Throwing Rocks at A Castle Gate. A This Person Represents the Attacker, And the Rocks Represent the Malicious Traffic. The Castle Gate Represents the Target System or Network Resource. The Attacker Keeps Throwing Rocks, Trying to Overwhelm the Gate's Defenses and Gain Entry. Dos Attacks Are Typically Launched from A Single System. They Can Be Effective Against Small Systems or Networks, But Larger Systems Can Often Withstand Them. DDos Attack: Imagine An Army Throwing Rocks at A Castle Gate. This Army Represents the Attacker, And the Rocks Represent the Malicious Traffic. The Castle Gate Represents the Target System or Network Resource. The Attackers Coordinate Their Attack, Throwing Rocks from Multiple Directions at Once. ...
