Network protocols and standards TCP/IP

TCP/IP named Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) and the Internet

Protocol (IP)

Which were the first two networking protocols defined in this

standard.

Apple Talk

AppleTalk is developed by Apple Inc. For networking computers. It was

first on a Macintosh in 1984 but now it is unsupported on v10.6 of the

Macintosh. AppleTalk is a full, reliable connection oriented protocol

like TCP was, but TCP was too expensive for most users back in the

day.

IEEE 802.2

UDP is one of the core members of the Internet Protocol Suite. UDP

allows computer applications to send messages, which is also called

datagrams. The Protocol was designed by David P. Reed in 1980. UDP

uses a simple transmission model without implicit handshaking dia-

logues which provide reliability, ordering, or data integrity.

The IEEE 802.2 standard is identical for all network topologies. IEEE

802.2 provides a general interface between the different protocols

for example TCP/IP and the different network types which can be

Ethernet or a Token Ring.

IEEE 802.3

IEEE 802.3 is a standard for Ethernet . It is a method of physical

communication in a LAN network for example an Ethernet wire and

it is also maintained by the IEEE. It is also a physical connection for

devices such as hubs, switches and routers by various types of cop-

per or fiber cable.

FDDI FDDI provides a 100 mbit/s optical standard for data transmission in

a local area network that can extend in a range up to 200 kilome-

tres. The FDDI topology is a ring-based token network but it does

not use the IEEE 802.5 token ring protocol. FDDI local area networks

can support thousands of users.

IEEE 802.5

The token ring: IEEE 802.5 LAN protocol is where all stations are

connected in a ring and each station can directly hear transmissions

but only from its immediate neighbour. Computers will need per-

mission to transmit which is granted by a message which is a token

that circulates around the ring.
