  2. Link layer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Link_layer

    Local area networking standards such as Ethernet and IEEE 802.3 specifications use terminology from the seven-layer OSI model rather than the TCP/IP model. The TCP/IP model, in general, does not consider physical specifications, rather it assumes a working network infrastructure that can deliver media-level frames on the link.

  3. Link layer security - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Link_layer_security

    Instead, the adversary floods the DHCP server with IP address requests until all addresses within the server's address space have been reserved (exhausted). At this point, any hosts wishing to join the network will be denied access, resulting in a denial of service. The adversary can then set up a rogue DHCP server so that clients receive ...

  4. OSI model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OSI_model

    OSI subdivides the Network Layer into three sublayers: 3a) Subnetwork Access, 3b) Subnetwork Dependent Convergence and 3c) Subnetwork Independent Convergence. [35] It was designed to provide a unified data-carrying service for both circuit-based clients and packet-switching clients which provide a datagram-based service model. It can be used to ...

  5. Computer network diagram - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_network_diagram

    The physical network topology can be directly represented in a network diagram, as it is simply the physical graph represented by the diagrams, with network nodes as vertices and connections as undirected or direct edges (depending on the type of connection). [3] The logical network topology can be inferred from the network diagram if details ...

  6. Client–server model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Client–server_model

    A computer network diagram of clients communicating with a server via the Internet. The client–server model is a distributed application structure that partitions tasks or workloads between the providers of a resource or service, called servers, and service requesters, called clients. [1]

  7. Network topology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_topology

    An ATM network interface in the form of an accessory card. A lot of network interfaces are built-in. A network interface controller (NIC) is computer hardware that provides a computer with the ability to access the transmission media, and has the ability to process low-level network information. For example, the NIC may have a connector for ...

  8. Server (computing) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Server_(computing)

    A single server can serve multiple clients, and a single client can use multiple servers. A client process may run on the same device or may connect over a network to a server on a different device. [2] Typical servers are database servers, file servers, mail servers, print servers, web servers, game servers, and application servers. [3]

  9. Internet layer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_layer

    Internet-layer protocols use IP-based packets. A common design aspect in the internet layer is the robustness principle : "Be liberal in what you accept, and conservative in what you send" [ 1 ] as a misbehaving host can deny Internet service to many other users.
