Networking Concepts and Models

These flashcards cover key concepts and terminology related to networking models, including the OSI and DoD models, encapsulation, and decapsulation.

Conceptual Model

A representation of a system or process used in networking to help understand end-to-end network communication.

OSI Model

A seven-layer network conceptual model created by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) to standardize networking functions.

DoD Model

A four-layer network conceptual model commonly known as the TCP/IP model, used in the internet protocols suite.

TCP/IP Model

The protocol suite that encompasses the methods and rules for transmitting data over the internet, often referred to as the DoD model.

Encapsulation

The process of adding a header and/or trailer to data to facilitate transmission over a network.

Decapsulation

The process of removing a header and/or trailer from data to retrieve the original data.”},{
