This topic describes the general idea of the Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) protocol suite. It discussed on the history and the future of TCP/IP, the differences between TCP/IP and Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) models. It is also defines, identifies and describes on each important layers of the TCP/IP reference protocol.

Topic Outcomes

1. Define what is the basic of TCP/IP.
2. Describe fundamental ideas of TCP/IP connectivity and its relationship.
3. Identify the basic components of application layer, transport layer, Internet layer and network access layer.
4. Explain the configuration of an Internet Protocol (IP) address

This topic focuses the issues which relates with the Internet Protocol (IP). Addition­ally, the argument of differences between routing and routed protocols, and acquaints one­self as to how routers track distances among locations. It introduc­es the distance vector, link-state and hybrid routing approaches, as how every able-bodied person resolves basic routing issues.

Topic Outcomes

1. Describe the fundamentals of TCP/IP transport layer.
2. Identify the flow control, the windowing, acknowledgement and the transport layer protocol;.
3. Explain the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) and User Datagram Protocol (UDP) formats.
4. Identify the Domain Name System (DNS), File Transfer Protocol (FTP), Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP), Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) and Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP).

This topic covers the transport layer of Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) model. It shows how it utilis­es and works on the services provided by the network layer. Some of the services are to find the best path, selection and logical addressing, to accommodate end to end communication between the source and destination. This topic also describes how the transport layer regulates the accurate flow of information from source to destination.

Topic Outcomes

1. Identify the basic of Routed, Routable and Routing Protocols.
2. Describe the fundamental idea of Routing.
3. Explain the Path Determination, the Routing Tables, the Routing Algorithms and Metrics and the interior and exterior Routing Protocols.
