- 12. 12 Local Area Networks Characteristics – small size – transmission technology • single cable • 10Mbps ~ 10Gb/s • 10Gb/s : 10,000,000.000 bps – topology: • bus – Ethernet (IEEE 802.3): 10 or 100 Mbps (10Gb/s) • ring – IBM token ring (IEEE 802.5): 4 or 16 Mbps
- 13. 13 Metropolitan Area Networks A metropolitan area network based on cable TV.
- 14. 14 Wide Area Networks (WANs) Relation between hosts on LANs and the subnet. ·WANs are point-to-point networks ·WANs consist of two distinct components: transmission lines (copper, fiber, microwave) and switches (electronics, optics) Store-and-forward or packet-switched subnet
- 16. 16 Subnet (WANs) Subnet (WANs) consists of two components: – transmission lines (circuits, channels, trunks) • move bits between machines – switching elements • connect transmission lines • Router: also called packet switching nodes, intermediate systems, and data switching exchanges • Operate in store-and-forward, or packet-switched mode.
- 17. 17 Wide Area Networks (2) A stream of packets from sender to receiver. (virtual- circuit) Routing decisions are made locally· How A makes that decision is called the routing algorithm. 9/17 End
- 18. 18 Wireless Networks Categories of wireless networks: • System interconnection (short-range radio, e.g. Bluetooth) • Wireless LANs (802.11a, 802.11b, 802.11g) • Wireless WANs (802.16, Cellular phones – GSM, 3G, 4G, Satellites) • Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs)
- 19. 19 Wireless Networks (2) (a) Bluetooth configuration (b) Wireless LAN
- 20. 20 Wireless Networks (3) (a) Individual mobile computers (b) A flying LAN
- 21. 21 Home Network Categories Computers (desktop PC/ Laptop/ Tablet PC, Smartphones, shared peripherals,) Entertainment (SmartTV, camera, Smartphone) Telecomm (Telephone, cell phone, intercom, fax) Appliances (microwave, refrigerator, washing machines, security systems, CCTV cameras)
- 22. 22 Internetworks • Internetworks connect networks with different hardware and software • A collection of interconnected networks is called an internetwork or internet • Internet is one specific internet • Gateways are used to make the connection and to provide the necessary translation (protocol conversion)
- 23. 23 Network Software Protocol Hierarchies – a series of layers (levels) – lower layer provides service to higher layers – protocol: • an agreement between the communication parties on how communication is to proceed – Peers: • the corresponding layers on different machines. – Network architecture: a set of layers and protocols – Protocol stack: • a list of protocols used by a certain system, one protocol per layer
- 24. 24 ◆ Layering ➭ To make things simple: modularization ➭ Every different layer has a dedicated function ➭ Create layer boundary such that ● description of services can be small ● number of interactions across boundary are minimized ● potential for interface standardized ➭ Different level of abstraction in the handling of data (e.g., syntax, semantics) ➭ Provide appropriate services to upper layer Network Software
- 25. 25 Design Issues for the Layers • Addressing (telephone number, e-mail address, IP address,…) • Error Control (error correction codes, ARQ, HARQ,…) • Flow Control (feedback-based, rate-based) • Multiplexing (gathering several small messages with the same destination into a single large message or vice versa Demultiplexing) • Routing (directing traffic to the destination)
- 26. 26 Design Issues for Layers Identify senders and receivers – multiple computers and processes: addressing Data transfer – simplex, half-duplex, full-duplex communication – # of logical channels per connections, priorities Error control – error detection – error correction Sequencing of pieces
- 27. 27 Design Issues for Layers Flow control – feedback from the receiver – agreed upon transmission rate Length of messages – long messages: disassemble, transmit, and reassmeble messages – short messages: gather several small messages Multiplexing and Demultiplexing – when expensive to set up a separate connection – needed in physical layer Routing: split over two or more layers – High level: London -> France or Germany -> Rome – Low level: many available circuits
- 28. 28 The functions of the seven layers • The physical layer is concerned with transmitting raw bits over a communication channel • The data link layer performs flow control and also transforms a raw transmission facility into a line that appears error free (ARQ) • The network layer controls the operation of the subnet, e.g. routing, flow control, internetworking,… • The transport layer performs assembling and disassembling, isolates the upper layers from the changes in the network hardware, and determines the type of services • The session layer establishes sessions (dialog control, …) • The presentation layer is concerned with the syntax and semantics • The application layer contains a variety of commonly used protocols (e.g. Hyper Text Transfer Protocol for WWW, file transfer, e-mail, network news,…)
- 29. 29 Reference Models (2) The TCP/IP reference model.
- 30. 30 Reference Models (3) Protocols and networks in the TCP/IP model initially.
- 31. 31 Original backbone of Internet Wide area network around which TCP/IP was developed Funding from Advanced Research Project Agency Initial speed 50 Kbps ARPANET (1969-1989)
- 32. 32 Funded by National Science Foundation Motivation: Internet backbone to connect all scientists and engineers Introduced Internet hierarchy – Wide area backbone spanning geographic U.S. – Many mid-level (regional) networks that attach to backbone – Campus networks at lowest level Initial speed 1.544 Mbps NSFNET (1987-1992)
- 33. 33 Internet Usage Traditional applications (1970 – 1990) • E-mail • News • Remote login • File transfer World Wide Web changed all that and brought millions of new, nonacademic users. Internet Service Providers (ISP) offer individual users at home the ability to call up one of their machines and connect to the Internet to access all kinds of services.
