Chapter 1, Problem R25RQ
Program Plan Intro
Internet Protocol:
Internet protocol is a process or protocol in which data is transferred between the computer systems through internet. Each computer system has its own IP address to send or receive the required data. It consists of five different layers namely, application layer, transport layer, network layer, link layer and physical layer.
Link Layer:
Link layer is the aggregation of procedures and protocols used in a link to share the data between the nodes. It includes mainly three functions namely, detection of transmission errors, regulation of data flow and provides well-structured interface.
Host:
- A host is a computer system or any device connected to other system or device in a network to exchange the data.
- A network host provides required information or data resources, services, applications and many others to other users present in the network.
- It can be a network node related to the network address.
