F#$@ Networking 2.0

Another wonderful day of learning how to networking with the one, the only Ms. Rod.
Here is some of the new and exciting information we learned today:

IP- internet protocol
NIC- Network Interface Card
Router- routes data packets based on IP address
Micro segmentation- creates a lot of collision domains
Media- what data travels thru
Repeater- retimes and regenerates network signals
Bridge- filters traffic based on MAC address

We had some other stuff and added to this chart we started the other day but that was about it.  Exciting? Right?  Well the period is over so...........

Bye for now.

Correction to Monday 12, 2012 Post

As is evident in the one comment on the post I am correcting is that instead of encryption and de encryption it should be encapsulation and de encapsulation.

Well that is all so...........

Bye for now 

Getting Back Points

Apparently last blog post I was supposed to embed the animation I made on Adobe Flash.  As you can see if you read my blog, I didn't and since Ms. Rod just started grading all the blogs I lost points.  Being the really nice person she is, Ms. Rod is allowing me to post another post with the embedded animation and get the full points back.  I know right, the nicest teacher ever.  So here is the famous animation I forgot to embed:

There it is!! It worked and obviously this is the best animation of Adobe Flash you have ever seen.

Well I have to go do another post about today's lesson.

Bye for now.

F#$@ NETWORKING!!

Yeah we learned about networking.  To preface this, it is horrible but i have to get these points so here we go.

How does an email get from one computer to the next?  Unfortunately now I know.  It is by the process of encryption and de encryption in turn.  The process has is the same but in opposite directions and it has seven steps.  They are Application, Presentation, Session, Transport, Network, Data Link, Physical.  The format of the data in each step is as follows respectively: Data, Data, Data, Segments, Packets, Frames, and Bits.  Each step has details about what it is and they are as follows: Application: Email and Browsers, Presentation:  common data format, encryption, and compression, Session: virtual session, end to end connections, Transport: Quality of Service and Flow Control,  Network: Routing, Data Link: Media Access Control, and finally Physical: bits.



Bye I have to go.
