Network+ N10-009 Encapsulation and Decapsulation

Information Technology10 CardsCreated 3 months ago

Encapsulation is the process where each layer in the OSI model wraps data with its own header—and sometimes a trailer—before passing it down to the next layer; this prepares the data for transmission and enables proper routing, addressing, and error checking. ([turn0search0], [turn0search22])

Encapsulation

The process of putting headers (and trailers) around some data.

Protocol Data Unit (PDU)

A single unit of information transmitted in a computer network.

FIN (Finished)

Used to tear down the virtual connections created using the three-wey handshake and the SYN flag.

SYN (Synchronization)

Used to synchronize connection during the three-way hadnshake.

RST (Reset)

Used when a client or server receives a packet that it was not expecting during the current connection.

ACK (Acknowledgment)

Used during the three-way handshake, but also used to acknowledge the successfull receipt of packets.

Normalisation is the process of structuring a database to reduce redundancy and improve data integrity. It involves organizing data into tables that meet specific rules—starting with First Normal Form (1NF) and Second Normal Form (2NF)—to ensure each field depends fully on the primary key and that data is stored efficiently.
