Go through lecture 1 and 2 on my own.
Circuit switching: when you actually have dedicated paths, no packets.
Packet switching: is non-dedicated, packets can go through any route.
Virtual circuit switching: set up a dedicated path, this is still packets.
Datagram: no set paths, what the internet actually uses. This is packets.
Message switching: the entire file is sent rather than being broken up into packets.
UDP vs TCP:
Time division multiplexing: when you split up when you send up the packets (time based).
Frequency division multiplexing: splitting up each of the conversations based on a frequency.
Virtual circuit: set up the path ahead of time, same path for the entire conversation.
FTP: you interact with a user interface. FTP is stateful (needs to know your current path).
In-band vs out of band control: you have two TCP connections, one is for transferring commands and the other is for data transfer.
SMTP: simple mail transfer protocol, it pushes mail to servers from clients and to servers from servers. Uses TCP on port 25. All just for sending text.
