top 8 most popular netowrk protocols+packet switiching

This document outlines key network protocols such as HTTP, SMTP, FTP, and TCP/IP, explaining their functions in data transfer and communication. It also covers concepts like URLs, IP addresses, and the differences between IPv4 and IPv6, emphasizing the importance of the Domain Name System (DNS). Additionally, it briefly mentions the availability of NBN technology at a specific address and the rationale behind using various networking technologies for its rollout.

Top 8 most popular network protocols

Knowledge:
This lesson you will learn about:

describing inputs, storage, processes and outputs in connecting people and systems
describe key WWW components (servers, browsers, pages, HTTP and HTTPS protocols, etc.)
and how they work together,
describe keywords such as ‘protocols’, ‘packets’, and ‘addressing’.

Skills
This lesson you will practice:
 determining an IP address of a domain name.

1. What is a protocol?
A set of rules that defines how data is transferred between a web browser and a
host.

Protocol Description
an application protocol for distributed,
collaborative, hypermedia information
HTTP (HyperText Transfer Protocol)
systems that allows users to communicate
data on the World Wide Web.
a communication protocol used for sending
SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) and receiving email messages over the
Internet.
a method for moving files between
FTP (File Transfer Protocol)
computers on a network.
Communication protocol required by every
computer using the internet; is actually two
protocols:
TCP/IP
1. TCP: Transport Control Protocol,
2. IP: Internet Protocol.
All web pages have a URL. We sometimes refer to this as a web page address or web
address, but the proper name is URL.

URL stands for Uniform Resource Locator.

A webpage is really just a file sitting on a computer somewhere on the planet. A URL tells
your web browser where to find a particular web page.

A URL consists of a number of parts:

1. What is an IP address? How is it organised hierarchically?


2. How many bits are in an IPv4 address?
3. How many IPv4 addresses does that mean can exist?
4. What is the difference between IPv6 and IPv4? Why do we need IPv6?
5. What is an IP packet?
6. What is the difference between an IP address and an IP packet?
7. What is the purpose of the Domain Name System (DNS)?

1. A unique string of characters that identifies each computer using the Internet
Protocol to communicate over a network, each number is represented by bits
2. 32bits
3. 4,294,967,296 unique addresses
4. IPv6 offers features that make routing over the internet more efficient than IPv4.
5. An IP packet is a unit of data in a network that contains information about the source
and destination addresses and other control information needed to transport the
packet over a network.
6. An ip packet contains an address/ location whereas an ip packet contains some
information and allows machines to send data to each other.
7. turns domain names into IP addresses,

Is the NBN available are your home address?


Yes
What technology is used to connected to the NBN at your address?
nbn Fibre to the Premises (FTTP)

Why is there a mixture of networking technologies used for the NBN?


Allows a faster rollout of the nbn
