Content Summary An understanding of the following key points should have been achieved:

• Why the Internet was developed and how TCP/IP fits the design of the Internet
• The four layers of the TCP/IP model
• The functions of each layer of the TCP/IP model
• The OSI model compared to the TCP/IP model
• IP addressing gives each device on the Internet a unique identifier
• IP address classes are logical divisions of the address space used to meet the needs of various sizes of networks
• Subnetting is used to divide a network into smaller networks
• Reserved addresses fulfill a special role in IP addressing and cannot be used for any other purpose
• Private addresses cannot be routed on the public Internet.
• The function of a subnet mask is to map the parts of an IP address that are the network and the host
• Someday IPV4 will be completely obsolete and IPV6 will be the commonly used version
• A computer must have an IP address to communicate on the Internet
• An IP address may be configured statically or dynamically
• A dynamic IP address may be allocated using RARP, BOOTP or DHCP
• DHCP supplies more information to a client than BOOTP
• DHCP allows computers to be mobile allowing a connection to many different networks
• ARP and Proxy ARP can be used to solve address resolution problems
