ACP-125 Radiotelephone Procedures for Tactical Networks

ACP-125: Radiotelephone Procedure

Purpose

The ACP-125 radiotelephone procedure is prescribed for use by allied nations in tactical networks, both safe and unsafe. Its purpose is to provide standardized rules for clear, concise, and unambiguous traffic, ensuring accurate data and efficient command and control. It must be assumed that all transmissions are intercepted and can reveal the location of radio signals.

Enemy Threat and EW

This standardized procedure protects against enemy electronic warfare

PC Hardware Explained: From Storage to Graphics Cards

Features of a Hard Drive

Transfer Mode:

  • PIO (Programmed Input/Output): The system uses a microprocessor as an intermediary for data exchange. Speeds include PIO Mode 1 (5.2 MB/s), PIO Mode 2 (8.3 MB/s), PIO Mode 3 (11.1 MB/s), and PIO Mode 4 (16.6 MB/s).
  • DMA (Direct Memory Access): This system transfers data between RAM and the hard drive without microprocessor intervention, freeing up the CPU. Ultra DMA systems are commonly used, with speeds like UDMA 16 (16.6 MB/s), UDMA 33 (33.3 MB/s), UDMA 66

Network Topologies and TCP/IP Architecture

Chapter 2: Network Topologies

Star Topology

All nodes connect to a central node, with messages passing through it.

Loop Topology

Nodes connect in a ring, with one node controlling and determining channel access for other nodes.

Mesh Topology

Nodes interconnect in a complex configuration, sharing communication circuits when transmitting. The most commonly used topologies are ring and bus.

Ring Topology

Each node connects to two others. Each node has a repeater with logic circuitry to transmit and manage

Transport Layer: TCP vs. UDP – A Deep Dive

1. Transport Layer Operation

The main features of the transport layer are:

  • Error Management: Handles and manages transmission errors.
  • Multiplexing: Enables multiple applications to share a single network card by sending different data streams.
  • Application Tracking: Uses port numbers to identify applications. Incoming packets are directed to the correct application based on their port number.
  • Data Segmentation: Divides raw data into smaller segments for transmission. Each segment is numbered for reassembly

OSI Model: Session Layer Services and Functions

1.2.1 Services Offered: Data Interchange

The session layer’s primary function is data exchange. A session, like a transport connection, has three phases: establishment, use, and release. Primitives provided to the presentation layer manage these phases, mirroring those used for transport connections. Often, invoking a session primitive simply invokes the corresponding transport primitive. Despite these similarities, key differences exist, especially in connection release. Transport connections terminate
