Overall IP Network

From DALL-E with some prompting
The image is a diagram explaining the overall structure and data flow of an IP network.

Overall IP network: The entire structure of an IP network
Ethernet In the LAN: Ethernet used within the Local Area Network (LAN)
Identification in the internet: Identifying devices on the internet
OSPF short path with IP addresses: Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) routing protocol finds the shortest path using IP addresses
Addressing/Routing to the peer: Assigning addresses and routing to peer devices
BGP to get/share IP (other & me): Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) is used for obtaining and sharing IP addresses between others and oneself
Service Connection: Establishing a service connection
IP address ↔ Domain address: The relationship between IP addresses and domain addresses
DNS Easy to keep an internet address by Domain name: Domain Name System (DNS) makes it easy to maintain an internet address by using domain names
On TCP/UDP: Operating on TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) and UDP (User Datagram Protocol)
The diagram illustrates how data moves within a network. For instance, when a user accesses web services using the HTTP protocol, the DNS translates domain names into IP addresses, and then a service connection is established using the IP address over TCP/UDP protocols. Routing protocols such as OSPF and BGP are used to find the optimal path for data transmission through internal networks and the wider internet, respectively.
