Understanding the TCP/IP Model in Campus Networks
The TCP/IP model is really important for how campus networks work. Let’s break it down into simpler parts:
Application Layer: This is the part where we interact with apps and websites. Protocols like HTTP help you browse the web, and FTP helps with transferring files.
Transport Layer: In this layer, we have TCP and UDP. TCP makes sure that the data is sent safely and reliably, while UDP sends data faster but doesn’t check for errors. UDP is great for things that need to happen in real-time, like video calls.
Internet Layer: This layer uses IP addresses to help data packets find their way across different networks. It’s like having a map so that the packets know where to go.
Link Layer: In this layer, we use technologies like Ethernet. This part is responsible for how data is sent physically through the local network.
All these layers work together to make sure that communication on campus is smooth and efficient.
