Ethernet and Internet Protocol

OSI Network Layers

  • 7 Application layer
  • 6 Presentation layer
  • 5 Session layer
  • 4 Transport layer
  • 3 Network layer
  • 2 Data Link layer
  • 1 Physical layer

Internet Protocol Layers

  • Application layer (7+6+5) ... ftp/http/smtp/pop3
  • Transport layer (4) ... tcp/udp
  • Network layer (3) ... ip/routing
  • Data Link layer (2) ... ethernet

Ethernet

10Base-5

10Base-2

  • Thin ethernet
  • cable length (125m)

10Base-T

  • Twisted pair (cat 3)
  • RJ-45 (telephone ISDN)
  • repeater hub -> switching hub

100Base-TX

  • Twisted pair (cat 5)
  • switching hub

1000Base-T

  • Twisted pair (cat 5e)
  • Use all 8 lines (4 pairs)
  • switching hub

Other

  • 1000Base-TX
  • 10GBase

Ethernet (MAC) address

  • 48 bit
  • 24 bit ... Vendor code
  • 24 bit ... Unique id

IP address

  • 32 bit
  • network address / host address
  • variable boundary
  • from small to large, various size networks
  • special host addresses
    • all 0 ... network itself
    • all 1 ... broadcast

ARP/RARP/DHCP

  • ARP
    • Address Resolution Protocol
    • Ethernet Broadcast Address = All 1 (48bit)
    • Broadcast Destination IP Address
    • The node having the IP address returns its Ethernet Address
  • RARP
    • Reverse Address Resolution Protocol
    • A node broadcast its Ethernet Address
    • RARP server replies with its IP address
    • My Ethernet Address -> My IP Address
    • Who am I?
