12.3 TCP Connection Methods 12.3.1 Port numbers Instructor Note The purpose of this target indicator is NOT that students memorize all of the TCP port numbers. The purpose is to illustrate that the way TCP provides software services to upper layers is through these numbers -- they are a menu of

12.2 TCP and UDP 12.2.1 TCP Instructor Note The purpose of this target indicator is to identify the key properties of TCP. It also locates TCP on the protocol graph of the TCP/IP stack. The purpose of this target indicator is not that the student memorize all of the fields of a TCP segment. Rather,

Overview As you know, a router has the ability to make intelligent decisions regarding the best path for delivery of data over a network. This is based on a Layer 3 or network layer addressing scheme. The router uses this information to make forwarding decisions. Once data packets go through the

Lab 9.7.13 Demo Cable Testing Estimated time: 30 min.Objectives:Use the Fluke 620 (or equivalent) to perform cable verification experiments on newly installed cable runs Background:In lab 9.5.1.1, you were supposed to do a cable installation. As part of that lab, or as part of a project, you should

Lab 10.4.1 IP Addressing OverviewEstimated time: 30 min.Objectives:This Lab will focus on your ability to accomplish the following tasks:Name the five different classes of IP addresses Describe the characteristics and use of the different IP address classes Identify the Class of an IP address based

Lab 9.2.12 RJ45 Jack Outlet InstallEstimated time: 45 min.Objectives:Learn the correct process for terminating (punching-down) a RJ-45 jack Learn the correct procedure for installing the jack in a wall plate Background:In this lab, you will learn to wire an RJ45 data jack for installation in a wall

11.6 Other Network Layer Services 11.6.1 Connectionless network services Instructor Note The concept of connectionless network services is introduced. This is a fundamental property of the Internet -- packets can take various paths to get to their destination. This helps ensure delivery if one path

11.5 Routing Protocols 11.5.1 Examples of routing protocols Instructor Note The concept of routing protocols is introduced. Students should be encouraged not to confuse routing protocols with routed protocols -- routed protocols allow packets to be routed; routing protocols are languages routers

11.4 Routable Protocols 11.4.1 Routed protocols Instructor Note The concept of routed protocols is introduced. Without routable protocols, internetworking is impossible. Students should be reminded that all of these discussions of addressing and protocols are layer 3 issues. IP is a network layer

11.3 Advanced ARP Commands 11.3.1 Default gateway Instructor Note The concept of default gateway is introduced to continue the detailed description of the functioning of a router. You might have the students discover the default gateway IP address for their own machines by looking at the TCP/IP
