05Fifth: communication protocols and the TCP/IP model
Aprotocol is an agreed set of rules that lets devices understand each other; without it two machines cannot communicate.
TheTCP/IPsuite works infour layers: the application layer (the service the user sees, such as HTTP, SMTP, FTP), the transport layer (TCP and UDP: segmentation, ports, reliability), the internet layer (IP: addressing and routing) and the network-access layer (the physical link and its hardware).
Steps of transmitting data over the Internet
Split the data to be sent into packets.
Attach the sender's and the receiver's IP addresses in the headerof each packet.
Choose the best route for each packet and deliver it to its destination — this isrouting.
At the receiving end, if packets are lost their retransmission is requested, then the packets are reordereduntil the data is complete.
