Learning the Packet Delivery Process
Course Beginner
Course details
So much of how the world works now depends on data, and how data gets from source to destination quickly and reliably. When most people type a query into a web browser, or turn on an alarm system from their phone, they don’t care how it happens, just that it happens. But if you’re a networking engineer, it’s your job to ensure that the systems that work together to move the data around run smoothly. If you’re just getting started in network engineering, the number of technologies involved may seem overwhelming. In this course, Joli Ballew works through the fundamentals, one step at a time, starting with an examination of the terms necessary to understand basic networking and the packet delivery process, followed by sections on network models, and the most common ports and protocols used in the data delivery process. She also covers hardware considerations, and closes with a detailed look at how the packet delivery process works in both local and remote scenarios.
Data packet delivery across local and remote networks
“ - [Joli] The world, as it is now, depends on people being able to get data and data requests from a source to a destination quickly and reliably. We need to be able to type a query into a web browser and get the answers we seek. We need to send and receive email from all of our devices and stream media from phones, computers, and tablets. Even our cars, thermostats, and garage doors have to be able to handle data requests these days. This means that all the systems have to be able to work together to move this data around. And everyone and everything has to follow the same rules to make it happen. Although there are many technologies at play here, some of my favorites include how protocols and ports work together to deliver data to the proper application. Encapsulation, as detailed using the TCP/IP model, is an exciting process as well and is what allows data packets to know where to go and how to get there. Likewise, there's hardware to consider, including routers that know how, why, and where to send the data packets they receive. Hi, I'm Joli Ballew. Getting data packets from point A to point B is a magical process that involves so many technologies, it's hard to know where to begin. So let's start at the beginning and work our way through the process one step at a time. Come join me in this LinkedIn Learning course and discover how data packets are delivered across both local and remote networks.
