Approved for 1 CompTIA CEU: A+ and Network+
It is essential to understand the technology presently used in networking and communication in order to take part in Cyber development and processing. The details of the Internet and its attached networks need to be visualized in order to use that or similar technology. I plan to describe the technology behind the present Internet and network technology.
Areas covered include:
• Data Coding (how data is coded for transmission to and through the Internet).
• Data Connections (common systems for connecting to the Internet).
• Types of Networks (the various ways information can be transferred from one location to another).
• Network Architecture (various designed used to build and manage a network).
• Seven Layers (the seven conceptual layers of a network and how these definitions apply to various common networks - such as the Internet).
• Frame Relay (how the frame relay is used to transfer data over data lines).
• Connectivity Configurations (the three common layer structure for networks and how, in particular, the one used in the Internet is used [TCP (Transmission Control Protocol)-IP (Internet Protocol) the two most important protocols of the Internet]).
• Internet Packets (visual animated picture of how data is actually sent over the Internet).
• TCP-IP Details (showing the concept of Virtual Path in more detail).
• Web Processing (the protocol of a client and server working together on a network).
• Remote Processing (animated demonstration of the details needed to produce successful remote processing).
• Distributed Computing (this demonstrates how middleware aids in remote processing).
• Sockets and Ports (the processing needed to carry any message from one processing unit to another). As a result of this training time you should understand the workings of the Internet and the processes that go on under the designation of Internet data communications.
