INFOGRAPHICS of Network Protocols

TCP establishes reliable connections between hosts on an IP network by using handshake packets like SYN and ACK to establish connections and ensure packets are received in order. ICMP performs error reporting for IP. ARP translates IP addresses to MAC addresses to allow communication within a local network. DHCP dynamically assigns IP addresses to devices on a network from a pool of available addresses. NAT allows multiple private IP addresses to share a single public IP address to communicate on the internet. VPN creates a secure tunnel through the public internet to remotely connect private networks.

Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) is a primary function is to turn an unreliable


network into a reliable network that is free from lost and duplicate packets. The
role of TCP essentially fills in some holes created by IP.

Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) is another small but important protocol that is
used to support TCP/IP networks. This takes an IP address in an IP datagram and
translates it into the appropriate medium access

DHCP Gives an IP address

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol is the most popular protocol that handles
dynamic assignment. DHCP server selects an IP address from an available pool of
addresses and assigns it to the workstation.

Network Address Translation (NAT) is another protocol that is used to assign IP


addresses, It let router represent an entire local area network to the Internet as a
single IP address. All packets that leave the corporate network contain this global
IP address.

Virtual Private Network (VPN) is a data network connection that makes use of the
public telecommunications infrastructure but maintains privacy through the use
of a tunneling protocol and security procedures.
