The subnet mask determines the network portion of an IP address, allowing devices to identify which part of the address refers to the network and which part refers to the host.

The broadcast address is used to send data to all devices within a specific subnet.

Supernetting refers to the practice of combining multiple smaller subnets into a larger network to simplify routing.

In IPv6, the prefix length indicates the number of bits used for the network portion, similar to a subnet mask in IPv4.

The Transport Layer in TCP/IP corresponds directly to the OSI Transport Layer, handling end-to-end communication.

TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) is used for reliable data transmission, ensuring that data packets are delivered in order and without errors.

CIDR stands for Classless Inter-Domain Routing, which allows for more efficient allocation of IP addresses.

REST stands for Representational State Transfer, an architectural style for designing networked applications.

SSL stands for Secure Socket Layer, which is a protocol for establishing a secure connection between a web server and a client.

REST stands for Representational State Transfer, which is an architectural style for designing networked applications.

URI stands for Uniform Resource Identifier, which is a string of characters used to identify a resource on the Internet.

URL stands for Uniform Resource Locator, which is the address used to access resources on the web.

HTTP is considered stateless because each request from a client to a server is treated as an independent transaction, with no stored context.

The Presentation Layer is responsible for data formatting, encryption, and decryption.

The Data Link Layer (Layer 2) is responsible for error detection and correction to ensure reliable data transfer.

The Session Layer (Layer 5) is responsible for establishing, managing, and terminating sessions between applications.

The Network Layer (Layer 3) is responsible for routing packets between different networks, determining the best path for data transmission.

The Network Layer (Layer 3) is responsible for routing packets across different networks.

The Session Layer (Layer 5) is responsible for managing sessions between applications.

The Physical Layer is responsible for the physical transmission of data over the network medium.

The Internet Layer in the TCP/IP model corresponds to the Network Layer in the OSI model, handling routing and addressing.

The Transport Layer in the TCP/IP model corresponds directly to the Transport Layer in the OSI model, handling end-to-end communication.

The Transport Layer in the TCP/IP model corresponds directly to the OSI Transport Layer.

Switching occurs at the Data Link Layer (Layer 2) of the OSI model, where MAC addresses are used to forward frames.

Error detection and correction primarily occur at the Data Link Layer (Layer 2) through mechanisms like checksums and CRC.

Segmentation occurs at the Transport Layer (Layer 4), where data is divided into smaller segments for transmission.

HTTPS stands for HyperText Transfer Protocol Secure, which is the secure version of HTTP that uses encryption.

NAT stands for Network Address Translation, a method used to remap one IP address space into another by modifying network address information.

The 'GET' method in HTTP is used to request data from a specified resource on the server.

NAT stands for Network Address Translation, which allows multiple devices on a local network to share a single public IP address.
