PORT
The term port can refer to either physical or
virtual connection points. There are two kinds of port,
Physical port:
Physical network ports allow connecting cables to computers,
routers, modems and other peripheral devices. Several different types of
physical ports available on computer network hardware. A physical port, as
opposed to a virtual or logical port is an interface on a computer into which
you can insert a connector for a device.
Examples of Physical Port: RJ45 port (Ethernet/LAN/NIC
Port), Serial Port (RS-232), USB Port.
Virtual port:
Virtual
ports are part of TCP/IP networking. These ports allow software
applications to share hardware resources without interfering with each other.
Computers and routers automatically manage network traffic traveling via their
virtual ports.
Port numbers range from 0 to 65536, but only ports numbers 0
to 1024 are reserved for privileged services and designated as well-known
ports. This list of well-known port numbers specifies the port used by the
server process as its contact port.

OSI Layer
1. Application Layer
This layer supports application and
end-user processes. Communication partners are identified, quality of service
is identified, user authentication and privacy are considered, and any constraints
on data syntax are identified. Everything at this layer is
application-specific. This layer provides application services for transfers-mail,
and other network software services. Telnet and FTP are
applications that exist entirely in the application level. Tiered application
architectures are part of this layer.
Eg: WWW Browser, FTP, HTTP, Telnet,
Nfs, Snmp
2. Presentation layer
This layer provides independence
from differences in data representation (e.g., encryption) by translating
from application to network format, and vice versa. The presentation layer
works to transform data into the form that the application layer can accept.
This layer formats and encrypts data to be sent across a network,
providing freedom from compatibility problems. It is sometimes called the
syntax layer.
Eg: encryption, ASCII,
EBCDIC, TIFF, GIF, PICT, JPEG, MPEG, MIDI.
3. Session Layer
This layer establishes, manages
and terminates connections between applications. The session layer sets
up, coordinates, and terminates conversations, exchanges, and dialogues between
the applications at each end. It deals with session and connection coordination.
Eg: NFS, NetBios names, RPC, SQL.
4. Transport Layer
This layer provides transparent
transfer of data between end systems, or hosts, and is responsible for
end-to-end error recovery and flow control. It ensures complete data
transfer.
Eg: SPX, TCP, UDP.
5. Network Layer
This layer provides switching and routing technologies,
creating logical paths, known as virtual circuits, for transmitting data
from node to node. Routing and forwarding are functions of this
layer, as well as addressing, internetworking, error handling, congestion control
and packet sequencing.
Eg: AppleTalk DDP, IP, IPX.
6. Data link layer
At this layer, data packets are encoded and
decoded into bits. It furnishes transmission protocol knowledge and
management and handles errors in the physical layer, flow control and frame
synchronization. The data link layer is divided into two sub layers: The Media
Access Control (MAC) layer and the Logical Link Control (LLC) layer.
The MAC sub layer controls how a computer on the network gains access to the
data and permission to transmit it. The LLC layer controls frame synchronization,
flow control and error checking.
Eg: PPP, FDDI, ATM, IEEE
802.5/ 802.2, IEEE 802.3/802.2, HDLC, Frame Relay.
7. Physical layer
This layer conveys the bit stream
- electrical impulse, light or radio signal through the network at
the electrical and mechanical level. It provides the hardware means
of sending and receiving data on a carrier, including defining cables, cards
and physical aspects. Fast Ethernet, RS232, and ATM are protocols with
physical layer components.
Eg: Ethernet, FDDI, B8ZS, V.35,
V.24, RJ45

Introduction to Networking and Network Basics :
It is important to understand what a network is and the
importance of networks themselves. Every
host has a Network Interface Card (NIC) that is used to connect it to a
network.
A hub is a network device that repeats information received
from a host to all other connects hosts. The hub will relay any information
received from Host A to Host B and Host C. This means that all the three hosts
can communicate with each other. Communication between hosts can be classified
into three types:
Unicast – Communication from
one host to another host only.
Broadcast – Communication
from one host to all the hosts in the network.
Multicast – Communication
from one host to few hosts only.
When a hub is used to network hosts, there are two problems
that arise:
A hub repeats information received from one host to all the
other hosts. To understand this, consider Host A sending a unicast message to
Host B. When the hub receives this message; it will relay the message to both
Host B and Host C. Even though the message was a unicast intended only for Host
B, Host C also receives it. It is up to Host C to read the message and discard
it after seeing that the message was not intended for it.
A hub creates a shared network medium where only a single
host can send packets at a time. If another host attempts to send packets at
the same time, a collision will occur. Then each device will need to resend
their packets and hope not to have a collision again. This shared network
medium is called a single collision domain. Imagine the impact of
having a single collision domain where 50 or 100 hosts are connected to hubs
that are interconnected and they are all trying to send data. That is just a
recipe for many collisions and an inefficient network.
The problems associated with hubs can cause severe
degradation of a network. To overcome these, switches are used
instead of hubs. Like hubs, switches are used to connect hosts in a network but
switches break up collision domain by providing a single collision domain for
every port. This means that every host (one host connects to one port on the
switch) gets its own collision domain thereby eliminating the collisions in the
network. With switches, each host can transmit data anytime. Switches simply
“switch” the data from one port to another in the switched network. Also,
unlike hubs, switches do not flood every packet out all ports. They switch a
unicast packet to the port where the destination host resides.
Now that you know how a switch works and improves a network,
consider the one problem associated with a switched network. Earlier, you
learned that hubs flood out all packets, even the unicast ones. A switch does
not flood out unicast packets but it does flood out a broadcast packet. All
hosts connected to a switched network are said to be in the same broadcast
domain. All hosts connected to it will receive any broadcast sent out in this
domain. While broadcasts are useful and essential for network operations, in a
large switched network too many broadcasts will slow down the network. To
remedy this situation, networks are broken into smaller sizes and these
separate networks are interconnected using routers. Routers do not allow
broadcasts to be transmitted across different networks it interconnects and
hence effectively breaks up a broadcast domain.
Mac Address
- 12 digit unique value.
IP Address use
to find the particular host in the network, it can be considered as 2 values,
bit Network bit and Host bit.

rule for same network:
- Network

- Host
