CCNA Notes Chapter #1: TCP/IP Networking Model

The document provides an overview of computer networking models and protocols. It discusses enterprise networks, SOHO networks, and the purpose of networks being to move data between devices. The key networking model discussed is TCP/IP, which defines a set of protocols through RFC documents that allow computers to communicate globally. Prior to TCP/IP, vendors created their own proprietary networking models that only worked for their own computers, making integration difficult. The International Organization for Standardization worked to create a common Open Systems Interconnection model starting in the late 1970s to standardize networking protocols.

CCNA Notes

Chapter #1
<< The Information Technology (IT) world refers to a network created by one
corporation, or enterprise, for the purpose of allowing its employees to
communicate, as an enterprise network. The smaller networks at home,
when used for business purposes, often go by the name small office/home
office (SOHO) networks.
<<Job’s networks is to move data from one device to another.
<<The journey toward building any computer network does not begin by
installing devices and cables, but instead by looking at the architectural
plans for those modern networks: the TCP/IP model.

<<TCP/IP Networking Model


A networking model, sometimes also called either a networking architecture
or networking blueprint, refers to a comprehensive set of documents.
Individually, each document describes one small function required for a
network; collectively, these documents define everything that should happen
for a computer network to work. Some documents define a protocol, which is
a set of logical rules that devices must follow to communicate. Other
documents define some physical requirements for networking.

<<Vendors created the first networking protocols; these protocols supported


only that vendor’s computers. Other vendors also created their own
proprietary networking models. As a result, if your company bought
computers from three vendors, network engineers often had to create three
different networks based on the networking models created by each
company, and then somehow connect those networks, making the combined
networks much more complex.

<< The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) took on the task
to create such a model, starting as early as the late 1970s, beginning work
on what would become known as the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI)
networking model. ISO had a noble goal for the OSI model: to standardize
data networking protocols to allow communication among all computers
across the entire planet.

<<The TCP/IP model both defines and references a large collection of


protocols that allow computers to communicate. To define a protocol, TCP/IP
uses documents called Requests For Comments (RFC).
