Computer Components Virtually all contemporary computer designs are based on concepts developed by John von Neumen, which includes the following three concepts… Data and instructions are stored in a single read-write memory The contents of this memory are addressable by location, without regard to the type of data contained there Execution occurs in a sequential fashion (unless explicitly modified) from one instruction to the next Keep in mind that software and hardware are typically interchangeable...
After reading this chapter you should be able to Identify and explain the functions of the core TCP/IP protocols Explain how the TCP/IP protocols correlate to layers of the OSI model Discuss addressing schemes for TCP/IP in IPv4 and IPv6 Describe the purpose and implementation of DNS and DHCP Identify the well-known ports for key TCP/IP services Describe common Application layer TCP/IP protocols Characteristics of TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol / Internet Protocol) TCP/IP is a suite of specialized...
