Terms in this set
- OSI Model A seven-layer conceptual framework that standardizes how network functions communicate, from physical signaling to applications.
- TCP Transmission Control Protocol — a connection-oriented Layer 4 protocol that guarantees reliable, ordered delivery.
- UDP User Datagram Protocol — a connectionless Layer 4 protocol that sends data fast with no guarantee of delivery.
- Three-Way Handshake The SYN, SYN-ACK, ACK exchange that establishes a reliable TCP connection.
- IP Address A logical Layer 3 address that uniquely identifies a device on a network.
- IPv6 The 128-bit successor to IPv4, written in hexadecimal, that vastly expands the address space.
