பாட குறிப்புகள்

Data Packets

Data is split into small chunks called packets before being sent over a network.
Each packet travels independently across the network, possibly taking different routes.
Packets are reassembled in the correct order at the destination.
This makes transmission efficient and resilient to failures.

Protocols

Protocols are shared rules that allow devices to communicate.
They define how data is packetized, addressed, transmitted, routed, and received.
Without protocols, devices from different manufacturers could not understand each other.
The Internet protocol suite (TCP/IP) is a framework for organising these protocols.

IP Addresses

An IP address is a unique identifier for a device on a network.
It allows packets to be routed to the correct destination.
IP addresses are part of the Internet Protocol (IP).
They are used in the internet layer of the TCP/IP model.

DNS resolves a domain name to an IP address so the browser can connect to the web server.

TCP/IP Model

The TCP/IP model has four layers: link, internet, transport, and application.
The link layer handles communication within a single network segment.
The internet layer provides internetworking between networks (uses IP).
The transport layer manages host-to-host communication (uses TCP or UDP).
The application layer supports process-to-process data exchange for applications.

TCP and UDP

TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) is a reliable, connection-oriented service.
TCP ensures packets arrive in order and without errors.
UDP (User Datagram Protocol) is a connectionless service.
UDP is faster but does not guarantee delivery or order.

Sending a Message

When a message is sent, the application layer prepares the data.
The transport layer (e.g., TCP) splits it into segments and adds port info.
The internet layer adds IP addresses and creates packets.
The link layer sends the packets over the physical network.
At the destination, the layers are reversed to reassemble the message.

History and Development

The Internet protocol suite originated from DARPA research in the late 1960s.
The ARPANET was the precursor to the Internet, using early routers called IMPs.
Vint Cerf and Bob Kahn designed the protocol in the early 1970s.
Originally, TCP was a single protocol; it was later split into TCP and IP in 1978.

A message is split into numbered packets that may take different routes and are reassembled in order at the destination.

## How Data Travels: Packets, Protocols and IP Addresses ### Packets - Data is **split into small chunks called packets** before being sent across a network. - Each packet travels **independently** across the network. - At the destination, packets are **reassembled** in the correct order to recreate the original message. - This makes data transmission efficient and resilient—if one packet gets lost, only that packet needs to be resent. ### Protocols - **Protocols are shared rules** that allow devices to communicate. - They define how data is **packetized, addressed, transmitted, routed, and received**. - Without protocols, devices from different manufacturers or networks could not understand each other. - The main protocol suite used on the Internet is **TCP/IP** (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol). ### IP Addresses - An **IP address** is a unique identifier for a device on a network. - It ensures that data packets are sent to the correct destination. - IP addresses are used by the **Internet Protocol (IP)** to route packets across networks. ### TCP/IP in Simple Terms - **TCP (Transmission Control Protocol)**: ensures reliable delivery of data. It splits data into packets, numbers them, and reassembles them at the destination, requesting retransmission of any lost packets. - **IP (Internet Protocol)**: handles addressing and routing, making sure each packet gets to the right device. - Together, TCP and IP work as a team: IP gets the packets to the right place, and TCP makes sure they arrive correctly. ### What Happens When You Send a Message? 1. Your device uses **TCP** to split the message into packets and add sequence numbers. 2. Each packet is given the **IP address** of the destination. 3. The packets travel independently across the network, possibly taking different routes. 4. At the destination, **TCP** checks the packets, requests any missing ones, and reassembles them into the original message. ### Key Points to Remember - Packets travel independently and are reassembled at the destination. - Protocols are essential shared rules for communication. - IP addresses identify devices on a network. - TCP/IP is the core protocol suite of the Internet. - TCP ensures reliability; IP handles addressing and routing.
