ISP

Internet service provider

HTTP

Hyper text transfer protocol

DNS

Domain name system

TCP/IP

Transmission control protocol/Internet protocol


Has four layers which include Network access, Internet, Transport, and Application.

Gateway

The point on a network that connects all of the devices together at a central point

VPN

Virtual private network

VLAN

Virtual local area network

Physical (layer 1)

Defines how to move bits from one device to another. (Ethernet)

Data link (layer 2)

Layer provides reliable transit of data across a physical link. (PPP, HDLC)

Network (layer 3)

Layer provides connectivity and path selection between two end systems. (IP, ICMP)

Transport (layer 4)

Layer is responsible for reliable network communication between end nodes (TCP, UDP)

Session (layer 5)

Defines how to establish and terminate a session between the two systems. (SSL, NetBIOS)

Presentation (layer 6)

Layer ensures that information sent by the application layer of one system will be readable by the application layer of another (MIME)

Application (layer 7)

Enables network applications to communicate with other network applications. (HTTP)

Ethernet

Connecting a number of computer systems to form a local area network

PPP

Point to point protocol


Provides router to router and host to network connections.

HDLC

High level data link control

ICMP

Internet control message protocol


Reports errors and provides other information.

UDP

User datagram protocol

NetBIOS

Network basic input/output system

LAN

Local area network

Switch

Filters, forwards, and floods frames based on the destination address of each frame

Hub

Serves as a central point to which all of the hosts in a network connect to. OSI Layer 1, sometimes called multiport repeater.

OSI

Open systems interconnection


Has 7 layers which are Physical (please), Data link (do), Network (not), Transport (throw), Session (sausage), Presentation (pizza), Application (away)

MAC

Media access control

Switch

Is used to connect multiple hosts together.


OSI layer 2, can inspect received traffic and make forwarding decisions

Router

Device that routes packets from one network to another.


OSI layer 3, divide broadcast domains and have traffic filtering capabilities.

NIC

Network interface card

UTP

Unshielded twisted pair wiring

WAN

Wide area network

Coaxial cabling

Maximum transmission speed of 10 Mbps

Twisted pair cabling

Has four pair of wires, they are twisted around each other to reduce crosstalk and outside interference. Common in LANs

8P8C connector

goes on the twisted pair cable

MAN

Metropolitan area network
