Protocol hierarchy in Computer network

  1. Application layer : TELNET, HTTP, DNS, POP, SMTP, FTP

TELNET ->Telecommunication Network: It allows TELNET clients to access resources of the TELNET server that means it allows connecting a remote machine and runs an application on it.

HTTP -> HyperText Transfer Protocol: It is used to access data on Word Wide Web.

DNS -> Domain Name System: This application map the IP address to the Name Address over a network connection device.

POP/IMAP-> Post Office Protocol/Internet Message Access Control: These protocols are used to retrieve the Mail at the receiver side.

SMTP -> Simple Mail Transfer Protocol: This protocol is used for the transfer of electronic mail from source to destination via a route.

FTP -> File Transfer Protocol: This protocol is used to transfer files among networks.

2. Transport layer: TCP, UDP, SPX

TCP: Transmission Control Protocol: This is a connection-oriented protocol that is reliable and handles byte streams from source to destination without error and flows control.

UDP: User Datagram protocol: It is an Unreliable connectionless protocol that is used for applications that are lossy and also for query response applications.

3. Internet layer: RIP, IGMP, OSPF, IPsec, DVMRP, IPv4, IPv6, ICMP, DDP

RIP-> Routing Information Protocol: This is a dynamic type routing protocol that doesn’t fix the dedicated path before. This protocol is to find the best path from source to destination using hop count.

IGMP->Internet Group Management Protocol:

OSPF->Open Short Path First: This is a type of link-state routing which uses Dijkstra’s shortest path first algorithm to determine the shortest path.

IPsec->Internet Protocol Security: This is a collection of groups of protocols for secured connection between the devices over the internet.

DVMRP->Distance Vector Multicast routing protocol: This is a type of distance vector routing protocol that provides connectionless datagram delivery over interconnected networks.

IP->Internet Protocol: This protocol is responsible for packet delivery from source to destination by looking at IP address in the packet header.

IPv4->Internet Protocol Version 4: This is IP protocol version 4 which is used by most websites currently.

IPv6->Internet Protocol Version 6: This is IP protocol version 6 which are an upcoming because of the number of IP address in IPv4 is limited in number compared to a number of users due to this limitation IPv6 required.

ICMP->Internet Control Message protocol: It is encapsulated with IP datagrams and is responsible for providing hosts with network problems.

DDP->Datagram Delivery Protocol:

ARP->Address Resolution Protocol: The job of this protocol is to find the hardware address of a host from a known IP address.

4. Host to the network layer: Ethernet, Token Ring, Star, ATM

Ethernet: This is LAN technology.

Token Ring:

Star:

ATM: Asynchronous Transfer Mode
