Description
Network Protocols
Using Capella's library, your text, and the Internet, write an essay that describes the flow of information through the OSI model. Your description should include:
- An explanation of at least three different network protocols used in the OSI model.
- The purpose and role of at least three of the network protocols you identify.
- The importance of the work performed by the network protocols you identify. This may include how well they do with network security (for example, TCP/IP traffic, and port security).
Your paper should:
- Include a title page, table of contents, introduction, headers, and a reference page.
- Not exceed three pages, excluding title, table of contents, and reference pages.
- Use at least two references. The references can come from Capella's library or the Internet.
- Be in APA format, including the references and headers.
- Meet the criteria listed in the Network Protocols Scoring Guide.

Criteria | Non-performance | Basic | Proficient | Distinguished |
---|---|---|---|---|
Explain the flow of information through the OSI model. 16% | Does not describe the flow of information through the OSI model. | Describes the flow of information through the OSI model, but the explanation is not completely cohesive or lacks detail in some areas. | Explains with sufficient detail the flow of information through the OSI model, and the explanation is reasonable and appropriate. | Explains with excellent detail the flow of information through the OSI model; the explanation is reasonable and appropriate and the analogy is well-thought out. |

Describe the importance of the work performed by at least three different Application Layer (Layer 7) protocols. 17% | Does not identify any protocols. | Identifies fewer than three different Application Layer (Layer 7) protocols in the OSI model | Identifies at least three different Application Layer (Layer 7) protocols in the OSI model. | Identifies more than three different Application Layer (Layer 7) protocols in the OSI model. |
Explain the purpose and role of at least three of the identified network protocols. 17% | Does not explain the purpose and role of at least three of the identified network protocols. | Explains the purpose and role of one of the identified network protocols. | Explains the purpose and role of at least three of the identified network protocols. | Evaluates the purpose and role of at least three of the identified network protocols. |
Apply the unit's assigned hands-on virtual labs concepts and activities. 17% | Does not apply the unit's assigned hands-on virtual labs concepts and activities. | Discusses the unit's assigned hands-on virtual labs concepts and activities but does not apply them to the activity. | Applies the unit's assigned hands-on virtual labs concepts and activities. | Applies the unit's assigned hands-on virtual labs concepts and activities; application shows strong understanding of the concepts. |
Communicate in a manner that is scholarly, professional, and consistent with expectations for members of professional communities. 17% | Does not communicate in a manner that is scholarly, professional, and consistent with expectations for members of professional communities. | Communicates in an inconsistently scholarly and professional manner for members of professional communities. | Communicates in a manner that is scholarly, professional, and consistent with expectations for members of professional communities. | Communicates in a manner that is scholarly, professional, and consistent with expectations for members of professional communities; written communication is free of errors that detract from the overall message. |
