About Network, Transport and Application Layer Protocols

GoConqr Original

What the resources cover

The page follows the stack from the network layer up to the application layer. At the network layer you will find the mind map IPv4 Routing, which sets out host routing step by step, and the mind map on ARP, which covers mapping Internet addresses to physical addresses. The flashcard deck Network Layer Protocol Headers and the deck IPv4 and IPv6 Network Layer sit alongside them.

Transport topics include the note TCP Header, which explains the 20-byte header and its fields, plus mind maps on TCP windowing and TCP-UDP. Application layer material includes decks on HTTP and on SMTP, POP3 and IMAP, and a mind map on DNS.

Where to start

If ports and protocols are your weak spot, begin with the quiz 1.1 Protocols and Ports Quiz. It asks things like which port is used for SSH. Then use the flashcard deck Port Numbers to fix the numbers in your memory, from FTP and SSH to Telnet and SMTP.

Next, read the note TCP Header and the mind map The Transport Layer: TCP and UDP. Finish with the layer-by-layer mind maps on the network and application layers.

Using quizzes and maps together

  1. Open a mind map to see how a topic fits together.
  2. Take a related quiz without looking back at the map.
  3. Note each question you miss and return to the matching map branch or flashcard deck.
  4. Retake the quiz a few days later.

Exam-style practice appears in several listed resources, with CCNA and Network+ chapter quizzes, and mentions of CCNP, GCSE Computer Science and A-level Computer Science. Slide sets on the internet protocols suit anyone who wants lecture-style revision.

Where this unit fits

This unit belongs to the Addressing and Protocols strand of Networks and telecommunications. It is the place to connect addressing with the protocols that use it.

Frequently asked questions

Which resource should I open first?

Start with the quiz 1.1 Protocols and Ports Quiz. It checks well-known ports and what each protocol does, such as SSH on TCP 22. Once you see which answers you missed, move on to the Port Numbers flashcard deck to practise them.

What do the mind maps cover?

The mind maps span all three layers. You will find IPv4 Routing, ARP, network layer logical addressing, TCP windowing, TCP-UDP, DNS and several application layer maps. They suit a first overview of a topic or a quick look before a quiz.

Are the resources free to use?

Yes. Every resource listed here is free to open, study and take, with no account needed. They were made by GoConqr users, not by GoConqr itself, so styles and depth vary from one resource to the next.

Which levels and exams do they suit?

Most resources suit university students and professional candidates, with a good share for school students. Listed resources mention CCNA, CCNP, Network+, GCSE Computer Science and A-level Computer Science, so you can look for the one closest to your course.

Can I save my scores or make my own sets?

A free account saves your quiz scores and lets you make your own quizzes, mind maps, flashcards and notes. That is useful if you want to turn the TCP header note or a port list into a deck of your own.

What if a topic I need is missing?

Try nearby titles first, since protocols appear under many names, such as Protocols, Network Layer or Transport Layer. If you still cannot find it, build your own mind map or flashcard deck from your course notes.
