THE YOU NETWORK

A PERSONALIZED LOOK INTO THE FUTURE

WHAT IS TCP/IP?
Short for Transmission Control
Protocol/Internet Protocol, the
suite of communications
protocols used to connect hosts
on the Internet. TCP/IP uses
several protocols, the two main
ones being TCP and IP. TCP/IP is
built into the UNIX operating
system and is used by the
Internet, making it the de facto
standard for transmitting data
over networks. Even network
operating systems that have
their own protocols, such as
Netware, also support TCP/IP. 1

OSI LAYERS
LAYERS 7-5
Application (Layer 7): This layer supports
application and end-user processes.
Communication partners are identified, quality of
service is identified, user authentication and
privacy are considered, and any constraints on
data syntax are identified. Everything at this
layer is application-specific. This layer provides
application services for file transfers, e-mail, and
other network software services. Telnet and FTP
are applications that exist entirely in the
application level. Tiered application architectures
are part of this layer.
Presentation (Layer 6): This layer provides
independence from differences in data
representation (e.g., encryption) by translating
from application to network format, and vice
versa. The presentation layer works to transform
data into the form that the application layer can
accept. This layer formats and encrypts data to
be sent across a network, providing freedom
from compatibility problems. It is sometimes
called the syntax layer.
Session (Layer 5): This layer establishes,
manages and terminates connections between
applications. The session layer sets up,
coordinates, and terminates conversations,
exchanges, and dialogues between the
applications at each end. It deals with session
and connection coordination.

LAYERS 4 & 3
Transport (Layer 4): This layer
provides transparent transfer of
data between end systems, or
hosts, and is responsible for endto-end error recovery and flow
control. It ensures complete data
transfer .

Network (Layer 3): This layer

provides switching and routing
technologies, creating logical
paths, known as virtual circuits,
for transmitting data from node
to node. Routing and forwarding
are functions of this layer, as well
as addressing, internetworking,
error handling, congestion
control and packet sequencing.

LAYERS 2 & 1
Data Link (Layer 2): At this layer, data
packets are encoded and decoded into
bits. It furnishes transmission protocol
knowledge and management and handles
errors in the physical layer, flow control
and frame synchronization. The data link
layer is divided into two sub layers: The
Media Access Control (MAC) layer and the
Logical Link Control (LLC) layer. The MAC
sub layer controls how a computer on the
network gains access to the data and
permission to transmit it. The LLC layer
controls frame synchronization, flow
control and error checking.

Physical (Layer 1): This layer conveys the

bit stream - electrical impulse, light or
radio signal -- through the network at the
electrical and mechanical level. It
provides the hardware means of sending
and receiving data on a carrier, including
defining cables, cards and physical
aspects. Fast Ethernet, RS232, and ATM
3
are protocols with physical layer
components.

THE USE OF BOTH LEGACY OR MODERN

LEGACY HARDWARE

MODERN HARDWARE

Legacy Hardware is older model hardware that still has some use
to companies for convenience.

With the use of You networks star-bus topology, Legacy

Hardware will never lose its use with age.

Modern Hardware is current generation hardware in use at this

present time.

The Star/Bus has become the most popular topology for local area
networks, and it is often combined with the linear bus in large
networks. 1

ADVANTAGES

DISADVANTAGES
Fault tolerant

Inexpensive, flexible, and easy-to-use cable

or media type

Expensive because of additional cable and

the purchase of a hub.2

Easy to troubleshoot by removing

computers from the hub or adding "smart"
hubs to diagnose problem for you

Simple to add more computers to network

Fast processing capability--up to 1000Mbps

(1Gbps)

Active topology set-up (with hub as a multistation repeater) that amplifies signal

SUBNETTING OF THE NETWORKS

Ethernet is a physical and data link layer
technology for local area networks (LANs).
Ethernet was invented by engineer Robert
Metcalfe.

While the use of wireless is more

common, Ethernet still shines out the
competition in many different ways.

WHAT IS ROUTING?

Routing is the process of

moving packets across a
network from one host to
another. It is usually
performed by dedicated
devices called routers.

MY ROUTING DESIGN
A Network Address Translation, or NAT, router
has multiple jobs:

DHCP Server (Assigns and passes network

settings to computers on the LAN).

Firewall Functionality (Protects the computers on

the LAN, from computers on the Internet).

Internet Client (Acts like a single computer to the

Internet on the WAN).

What Is A NAT Router? A router is a very specialized computer, that connects

two or more separate networks, and directs network traffic from one network
to the other as necessary.

A normal (infrastructure) router has just one simple task - to route traffic
from one network to another, simply by knowing what networks are connected
to each interface on the router. This requires you to know what networks are
connected, and to create and input rules defining those networks.

Internet Gateway (Provides internet service to the

computers on the LAN).

Network Address Translation.
