Converting information into an acceptable form for transmission is called _______.

encoding

A message sent from source to destination must have the correct ________. If it's incorrect the message will not be delivered.

Formatting

Placing a message format inside another message format, which provides the address of the destination and the address of the source host.

Encapsulation

Removing the message from the formatted "envelope."

De-encapsulation

Breaking messages into small pieces, called ___________, to be sent across the network.

Segments

Determines when someone is able to send a message.

Access Method

Destinations and hosts use _____ to negotiate the correct timing for successful communication.

Flow Control

Rules that specify how long to wait for a response and what action to take if a time-out occurs.

Response Timeout

Also called one-to-one delivery, when a host sends a message to one single destination (recipient).

Unicast

When a host sends a message to a group of hosts at the same time; also referred to as a one-to-many delivery option.

Multicasting

All hosts on the network receive the message at the same time with this delivery option and the hosts may be required to acknowledge the receipts.

Broadcast

Group of inter-related protocols necessary to perform a communication function.

Protocol Suite

The best way to visualize how the protocols interact within the suite is to look at the ________. This way you can view it in terms of layers with each higher level depending on the functionality of the lower levels.

Protocol Stack

Defines the common format and set of rules for exchanging messages between devices.

Network Protocols

An application protocol that governs web servers and defines the content and formatting of the requests and responses that are exchanged.

HTTP (Hyper Text Transfer Protocol)

Transport protocol that manages the individual conversation and divides the HTTP messages into segments. Also responsible for controlling the size and rate at which messages are exchanged.

TCP

Internet protocol that takes formatted segments from TCP, encapsulates them into packets, assigns the address, and delivers them to the destination.

IP

Network Access protocol that functions as the physical transmission of data on the network media and communication over data link.

Ethernet

A protocol that is endorsed by the networking industry and approved by standard organizations.

Standard-based

A protocol that only one company or vendor controls.
