The document discusses the TCP/IP protocol suite and its basic concepts. It defines a protocol as a standard used to exchange data over computer networks that defines how data is formatted, compressed, error checked, and more. One common protocol is HTTP for transmitting data over the World Wide Web. The document then explains the OSI reference model layers including physical, network access, internet, transport, and application layers and compares it to the similar layers in the TCP/IP protocol suite. Finally, it describes the key responsibilities of the transport layer in the TCP/IP suite, such as tracking communications between hosts, segmenting and reassembling data, and identifying different applications.

Understanding the Basic Concepts of Protocols and get to
know the basics of TCP/IP(the building blocks of the WEB)
Objective of this presentation
Sometimes referred to as an access method, a protocol is
a standard used to define a method of exchanging data over a computer network such as local area network, Internet, Intranet, etc. Each protocol has its own method of how data is formatted when sent and what to do with it once received, how that data is compressed or how to check for errors in data. One of the most common and known protocols is HTTP (HyperText Transfer Protocol), which is a protocol used to transmit data over the world wide web (Internet).
What is a protocol?
OSI REFERENCE MODEL & TCP/IP SUITE
File, print, message, database, and application services
Data encryption, compression, and translation services Dialog control and data exchange End-to-end connection Routing Framing Physical topology.
OSI Reference Protocol
Application layer represents the data to the users
plus encoding and dialog control.
Transport layer supports communication between
diverse devices across diverse networks Internet layer determines the best path through the network Network access controls the hardware devices and media that make up the network
TCP/IP Protocol Suite
How data travels
The Transport layer provides for the segmentation of data
and the control necessary to reassemble these pieces into the various communication streams. Its primary responsibilities to accomplish this are: Tracking the individual communication between applications on the source and destination hosts Segmenting data and managing each piece Reassembling the segments into streams of application data Identifying the different applications
