Description
Computer Science Section 1 Mind Map
1 TCP/IP Stack
1.1 It is a complete set of networking protocols.
1.2 It is the most common protocol and consists of 4 layers
1.3 Examples are http, ftp, POP3, SMTP, telnet.
1.4 A TCP/IP stack is, roughly spoken, a piece of software for communicating

limited to a small area.
3.4 WAN - Larger shared area however it costs a lot and it is not very fast.
3.5 LAN - Advantages; Data can be shared easily,
Central backup, Message, software can be
shared, stored in a central place.
3.6 LAN - Disadvantages; Printing can be slow,
Virus can be spread easily, Greater need for
secutiry, If server fails all workstations will
fail, Cost, Cable damage affects computers.
3.7 WAN - Advantages; There is a wider scale, Far
greater, Can be world wide.
3.8 WAN - Disadvantages; Security is even more
important, vulnerable to hackers, Easy to
intercept data such as bank details and
addresses.
4 Packet and Circuit switching
4.1 Packet switching moves data in separate small blocks
4.2 When packets are received
they are reassembled in the
proper sequence to make up
the message
