Communicating Over the
Network
Modified by Profs. Chen and Cappellino
Objectives

This chapter prepares you to:

Describe the structure of a network, including the
devices and media that are necessary for
successful communications.
 Explain the function of protocols in network
communications.
 Explain the advantages of using a layered model
to describe network functionality.
 Describe the role of each layer in two recognized
network models: The TCP/IP model and the OSI
model.
 Describe the importance of addressing and
naming schemes in network communications.
The three Elements of Communication
The first - message ___________, or sender.
 The second -________________, or receiver



receives the message and interprets it.
A third - a __________________
the
media that provides the pathway over which
the message can travel from source to
destination.
Communicating the Messages

In theory, a single communication, such as a an
e-mail message, could be sent across a network
from a source to a destination as one
massive continuous stream of bits.


Why is this not a good idea?
The solution: divide data into
_____________, more manageable pieces
to send over the network.
This
division of the data stream into smaller
pieces is called ___________________.
Communicating the Messages

Segmenting messages has two primary
benefits.
First,
many ___________________________
_________ or mixed together on the network.

The process used to mix together the pieces of separate and
distinct conversations on the network is called ______________.
Second,
segmentation can _______________
______________ of network communications.


Separate pieces need __________________________ across
the network from source to destination.
If part of the message fails to make it to the destination, _______
__________________________________________________
Communicating the Messages

Disadvantage of segmentation and
multiplexing

______________________________________
Each packet must be individually addressed and
numbered
 Then reassembled into the content of the original
message.


Devices throughout the network and
protocols ensure that the pieces of the
message arrive reliably at their destination.

The Sending and Receiving process

(from Web Server to client)
In the web server example from earlier:
The Application layer: HTTP begins the process by delivering the
HTML web page data to the Transport layer.
The Transport layer: The application data is broken into TCP
segments.


Each TCP segment is given a label, _____________, containing information
about which process running on the destination computer should receive the
message.
The Transport layer: encapsulates the web page HTML data within the
segment and sends it to the Internet layer,
The Internet layer: Here the entire TCP segment is encapsulated
within an IP packet, which adds another label, called the IP header.

The IP header contains source and destination IP addresses.
 The Network Access layer: Using the Ethernet protocol, the
packet is encapsulated within a frame header and trailer.




Frame header contains source and destination physical address.
The trailer contains error checking information.
Finally the bits are encoded onto the Ethernet media by the server NIC.
This process is reversed at the receiving host.
Data

Addressing in the Network


The OSI model describes the processes of
encoding, formatting, segmenting, and
encapsulating data for transmission over the
network.
Using the OSI model as a guide, we can see the
different addresses and identifiers that are
necessary at each layer.
Address
identifiers are added to the data (using
encapsulation) as it travels down the protocol stack on
the source host.

__________________________
___________
use the __________ identifier
portion of this address to determine which
path to use to reach the destination host.
Once the path is determined, the router
encapsulates the packet in a new frame and
sends it on its way toward the destination
end device.
When the frame reaches its final destination,
the frame and packet headers are removed
and the data moved up to Layer 4.
Getting the Data To the Right Application

At Layer 4, information contained in the PDU header
(segment) identifies the _____________________
