Data Communication and Protocols

Data communication is the transmission of data between digital devices using various components such as messages, senders, receivers, and protocols. It includes types like simplex, half-duplex, and full-duplex, as well as transmission modes and media, both wired and wireless. Key concepts include bandwidth, latency, and security measures like encryption and firewalls.

Data Communication and Protocols

What is Data Communication?

Data Communication is the process of transmitting data between two or more digital devices using

transmission media.

Components of Data Communication:

1. Message - The data to be communicated.

2. Sender - The device that sends the message.

3. Receiver - The device that receives the message.

4. Transmission Medium - The physical path for data.

5. Protocol - The rules for communication.

Types of Data Communication:

- Simplex: One-way (e.g., TV).

- Half-Duplex: Two-way, one at a time (e.g., walkie-talkie).

- Full-Duplex: Two-way, simultaneous (e.g., phone).

Transmission Modes:

- Serial: One bit at a time.

- Parallel: Multiple bits at once.

Transmission Media:

Wired:

- Twisted Pair

- Coaxial

- Fiber Optic
Wireless:

- Radio Waves

- Microwaves

- Infrared

Protocols:

- TCP/IP: Internet communication

- HTTP/HTTPS: Web browsing

- FTP: File transfer

- SMTP: Send email

- POP3/IMAP: Receive email

- Ethernet: LAN

- Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, UDP

OSI Model:

1. Physical

2. Data Link

3. Network

4. Transport

5. Session

6. Presentation

7. Application

TCP/IP Model:

1. Network Interface

2. Internet
3. Transport

4. Application

Key Concepts:

- Bandwidth, Latency, Throughput

- Error Detection & Correction

- IP & MAC Addresses

Security:

- Encryption (SSL/TLS)

- Firewalls

- VPN

Summary:

Data communication involves devices, protocols, and media, structured in layers for efficient and

secure data exchange.
