|
|
A response generated at the Transport layer of the OSI model that confirms to a sender that its frame was received. The ____ packet is the third of three in the three-step process of establishing a connection. |
ACK (acknowledgment) |
|
|
The fist set of six characters that make up the MAC address and that are unique to a particular manufacturer. |
block ID |
|
|
A type of Transport layer protocol that requires the establishment of a connection between communicating nodes before it will transmit data. |
connection oriented |
|
|
A type of transport layer protocol that services a request without requiring a verified session and without guaranteeing delivery of data. |
connectionless |
|
|
An algorithm used to verify the accuracy of data contained in a data frame |
CRC (Cyclic redundancy check) |
|
|
The process of wrapping one layer's PDU with protocol information so that it can be interpreted by a lower layer. |
encapsulate |
|
|
A method of gauging the appropriate rate of data transmission base on how fast the recipient can accept data. |
flow control |
|
|
A network layer service that subdivides segments it receives from the transport layer into smaller packets |
fragmentation |
|
|
A package for data that includes not only the raw data, or "payload," but also the sender's and recipent's addressing and control information. |
frame |
|
|
A core protocol in the TCP/IP suite that operates in the network layer of the OSI model and provides information about how and where data should be delivered. |
IP (Internet protocol) |
|
|
The network layer address assigned to nodes to uniquely identify them on a TCP/IP network. Address consist of 32 bits divided into four octects, or bytes. |
IP (Internet protocol address) |
|
|
The upper sublayer in the data link layer, provides a common interface and supplies reliability and flow control services. |
LLC (Logical Link Control) sublayer |
|
|
The lower sublayer of the data link layer, appends the physical address of the destination computer onto the frame. |
MAC (Media Access Conrol) sublayer |
|
|
The largest data unit a network will accept for transmission. |
MTU (maximum transmission unit) |
|
|
A unit of data at any layer of the OSI model. |
PDU (protocol data unit) |
|
|
The process of reconstructing data units that have been segmented. |
reassembly |
|
|
To intelligently direct data between networks based on addressing, patterns of usage, and availability of network segments. |
route |
|
|
A unit of data that results from subdividing a larger protocol data unit. |
segment |
