Week 4: Network and Transport Layers –
Discussion

IPv4 versus
IPv6 (graded)

At the heart of the networking layer
is addressing. IP addressing is used to locate computers and other network
devices across the Internet. Currently, IPv4 is the dominant network
addressing standard used on the Internet and within organizations. The
problem is that we have exhausted our public IPv4 addresses. IPv6 was
developed in part to address this very issue.

Do some research on IPv6 in the DeVry Library and on the Web.

What are some immediate differences in the two protocols? Does IPv6 provide
operational improvement, as well as increased address space? How has/will
IPv6 impact organizations, the Internet, and you at home? .0001pt;”>Week 4: Network and Transport Layers –
DiscussionNetwork and
Transport Layer Protocols (graded)

The Network and Transport layers are
where the protocol suites TCP/IP reside. This suite of protocols is critical
to the operation of the Internet and organizations as we know them today.

Do some research via the DeVry library, the Internet, and your textbook and
list and discuss three TCP/IP protocols.

What are the primary functions of the Transport and Network layers? What
protocols do you use each day?
