OCU C)NP C Week 02 Lesson 03 Discussion

Hi everyone!  I hope Week 1 went well for each of you.  Please always email me if you have any questions.

This week, you need to read chapters 3 and 4 and watch the videos.  Be sure to complete the week 2 devotional and discussion questions.  **You don’t have to upload a word document for the devotions or the discussions.**

Finally, be sure to complete the chapters 3 and 4 exams.

Below is a great devotion from Billy Graham’s Daily Devotions. Have a great week!  ~Dr. Anthony

He who hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ.
—Philippians 1:6
Being a Christian is more than just an instantaneous conversion. It is a daily process whereby you grow to be more and more like Christ. When you start out, you start out as a baby. You must be fed on the simple things of the Bible, and you learn to walk in your Christian life gradually. At first you will fall down and make many mistakes, but you are to continue growing. However, there are many people who have stopped growing. They remain spiritual babes all their lives. I am afraid that this experience is all too common today. Perhaps it is yours.

Do you remember the day when you gave your heart and life to Christ? You were sure of victory. How easy it seemed to be more than conqueror through Christ who loved you. Thousands of Christians have struggles with themselves. The great need in Christendom today is for Christians to learn the secret of daily victory over sin.

One of the main ones is the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP). This protocol ensures that data sent from one computer to another arrives safely and in the correct order. It breaks large pieces of data into smaller parts, sends them, and then puts them back together at the other end. This is helpful for things like web browsing and email, where missing or out-of-order data would be a problem.

Another important protocol is the Internet Protocol (IP). This one is responsible for sending data to the right place. Every device on a network has a unique IP address, and the Internet Protocol uses that address to figure out where to send information. It’s kind of like writing an address on a letter to make sure it gets to the right house.

A third key protocol is the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP). This is used when you visit websites. It tells your browser how to ask for web pages and how the web server should respond. Without HTTP, we wouldn’t be able to view or interact with websites like we do every day. These three protocols work together to make online communication possible

In computer networking, there are several basic protocols that work together to offer seamless communication among devices. Transmission Control Protocol (TCP), Internet Protocol (IP), and Domain Name System (DNS) are three of the most basic protocols. TCP offers guaranteed, sequenced, and error-checked data transfer. It is connection-oriented, i.e., it establishes a trustworthy connection before transferring information, which is crucial for applications like browsing the web, email, and file transfer (Forouzan, 2017). IP, on the other hand, is responsible for addressing and forwarding data packets between devices on different networks such that each packet reaches its destination with the assistance of unique IP addresses (Kurose & Ross, 2021). DNS is a directory service that translates the readable domain names such as http://www.google.com into IP addresses computers utilize to locate one another in the network (Mitchell, 2021).

As an example, in a real-world example, these protocols communicate with each other when visiting a website. If someone enters a website’s URL in the browser, for example, DNS translates the domain name into an IP address. Next, based on IP, the call is routed to the correct server that holds the website. Finally, TCP ensures web page information is sent back to the client’s device correctly, reassembling it to be viewed correctly. This joint process happens instantaneously and silently, providing gliding and economical access to the internet.

Three Main Protocol would be TCP (Transfer Control Protocol). It allows data to be broken down and sent in the order it is ment to be in.

2. The next would be IP (Internet Protocol) This allows the data to be sent to another device within the same network.

3. Is the DNS (Donain Network Protocol) The DNS also uses a IP address to send data with this it makes sure it is going to the right address and device and will have some websites and businees hold the site for the data to arrive correct and in the right place.

This explains how TCP, IP, and DNS work together to make internet communication smooth and reliable. You clearly showed how each protocol has its job, but they all work as a team. I like how you used the example of visiting a website; it helps make the process easy to understand. DNS translates the web address into an IP address is like looking up a phone number in a contact list. Then IP makes sure the request gets to the right server, kind of like sending a letter to the right house. Finally, TCP is like the mail carrier who checks that all the pieces of the message arrive safely and in the right order. It’s amazing how fast this all happens, and most people don’t even realize it. Your paragraph did a good job of showing how these protocols keep the internet running smoothly without us even noticing all the work going on behind the scenes.
