Network Communication Standard

Network Communication Standard

IEEE - Institute Of Electrical and Electronic Engineers

This organisation sets the standards for data communication.

Each company who makes communication devices or transmission medium need to adhere to these standards or rule (aka Protocol).

These protocol set the standards for -The way a device connects to a medium (Wifi, Ethernet)

                                                          -Transmissions medium

                                                          -Speed of data

                                                          -Physical technology

Protocols

- are the rules on how 2 devices can communicate 

Type 1: Ethernet uses the transmission medium to move packets that contain data about the receiving and sending devices as way of checking for errors.

Ethernet 

-Ethernet- 10mbps

-Fast Ethernet- 100mbps

-Gigabit Ethernet- 1Gbps

Ethernet/Tcp/IP- uses packets, while bit streaming, is also used to display video online.

(Large)   (Smaller

                to cope with 

                different kinds

               of mediums)

Tcp/IP- Transmission control protocol Internet Protocol

These govern the transfer data across the internet.

It uses an IP Address. Each IP address is a unique identifier of an internet connected device.It is a series of four numbers and each number is between 0-25.

IP Addresses: 192... (Homes)

                       172... (Private devices)

                         10... (School/larger organisations)

802.11 Standard (Wireless Protocol)

These rules govern the connection between physical devices via radio waves in the band of 60 GHz frequency.
