Topic 4 Network Layer Protocols and IP Addressing
*Foreword*
– Internet Protocol Version 4 (IPv4) is the core protocol suite in the TCP/IP protocol suite. It works at the network layer in the TCP/IP protocol stack and this layer corresponds to the network layer in the Open System Interconnection Reference Model (OSI RM).
– The network layer provides connectionless data transmission services. A network does not need to establish a connection before sending data packets. Each IP data packet is sent separately.
– This presentation describes the basic concepts of IPv4 addresses, subnetting, network IP address planning, and basic IP address configuration.
*Objectives*
On completion of this course, you will be able:
– Describe main protocols at the network layer.
– Describe the concepts and classification of IPv4 addresses and special IPv4 addresses.
– Calculate IP networks and subnets.
– Use the IP network address planning method.
