Type of Networks
• Computer and Communications industries converge in the 70s
• The infrastructure underlying the Internet has evolved since
• Web is an overlay network on the Internet
• Web services offered trough Web sites are based on− Client/Server model− Peer-to-Peer model

• IP Addresses are written using dotted decimal notation: • 4 groups of 8 bits • Each group can be 0 – 255 • Example:

• Electromagnetic signal speed ~ 300, 000km/sec • Network links have capacity (data rate)
– dial-in link: 56-Kbps– Ethernet: 10 or 100 (or 1000) Mbps– “T1”: 1.544 Mbps

• A router connects two or more physical networks • A router is part of each network (has 2+ IP addresses)• Forwarding packets to the right destination
• Glue smaller networks together • Data travel packet by packet

• Local Area Networks (LANs)• Technologies:
− Ethernet (10 Mbps, 100 Mbps)− Gigabit Ethernet− Token Ring (4-16 Mbps)− FDDI (100 Mbps)
• Ethernet− No central node− Access to a shared medium (called the ether – coaxial
cable )− Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Detection
(CDMA/CD) – a distributed algorithm to determine which station uses the shared medium next

• It is possible, however, for two NICs that are far apart in the cable to attempt a transmission at about the same time, detect a free medium, transmit their packets and interfere with each other. This interference is called a collision.
• Collisions – As traffic on the Ethernet LAN increases the probability
• Ethernet NICs are equipped to detect collisions and stop transmitting a packet when collisions are detected
• NICs wait for a randomly selected time period before attempting to retransmit their packets
• As traffic on an Ethernet network increases, the probability of a collision increases and the network throughput decreases as more of the bandwidth is spent on collisions and retransmissions

Token Ring
• Invented at IBM Research Labs and, as the name indicates, is based on a ring topology as shown in Fig. 2.1b.
• A sender inserts the bits of its packet into the ring
• The packet goes around the ring and is copied by the NIC specified in the destination address field of the packet
• The packet continues its flow around the ring back to the sender which removes the packet and compares the received packet with the packet sent for error control
• If two or more NICs attempt to transmit simultaneously

Fiber Distributed Data Interface (FDDI)• a set of ANSI protocols for sending digital data over fiber
optic cable
• FDDI networks use token-passing
• support data rates of up to 100 Mbps (100 million bits) per second
• used as backbones for WANs
• An improvement over token ring is the introduction of a second ring – better fault tolerance
Type of Networks (Continued)
Wireless LANs• Use the Radio Frequency as a medium• Use the data to be transmitted to modulate a carrier signal
(wave) transmitted by the RF transmitters• Physical layer
−provides a carrier sense signal which indicates if there is a transmission in progress
−data sent by one station can be received by all stations in its area of coverage
−communication may suffer from the "hidden terminal problem“:
walls or other structures obstruct the RF signalsstation C receives signals from A and B, but for A and
B cannot communicate due to an obstacle

Type of Networks (Continued)
• Figure 2.2 shows the architecture of IEEE 802.11 based LANs
• Stations communicate, within − their cells or basic service set (BSS), − with one another − and with a base station called an access point (AP)
• AP is used to allow stations in different BSSs to communicate with one another.
• Access points may be connected through a wired LAN, as shown in Figure 2.2, or through a wireless LAN
• Similar to transmission in an Ethernet, wireless stations may interfere with one another if they transmit at the same time
Type of Networks (Continued)
• The IEEE 802.11 protocol uses a Carrier Sense Multiple Access/ Collision Avoidance (CSMA/CA) protocol
• If the channel is sensed idle for an amount of time equal to the Distributed Inter Frame Space (DIFS), a station may transmit
• The receiver of a correct frame sends an acknowledgement frame to the sender after a short period of time called the Short Inter Frame Spacing (SIFS)
• Acknowledgements (ACK) in IEEE 802.11 LANs are required, but not in Ethernet LANs since the sender can hear its own transmission
Type of Networks (Continued)
• The IEEE 802.11 protocol does not use collision detection, as Ethernet does and aims at avoiding collisions
• Any transmitted frame contains the duration of the transmission, so that other stations can avoid transmitting collision at that time.
Type of Networks (Continued)
• Collisions can occur because of the hidden terminal problem.
• It is possible for two stations hidden from one another to collide when transmitting to the same destination at about the same time
• To avoid this problem, IEEE 802.11 provides for the optional use of a Request To Send (RTS) and Clear To Send (CTS) exchange of frames before the data transmission
− Before a sender transmits its data frame, it sends a RTS frame to the receiver indicating the entire duration of the transmission including the time to send the ACK
− If the RTS is received correctly a short CTS is sent by the intended receiver to the sender, which may proceed with the actual transmission
− All other stations hear this exchange and avoid interfering with the data transmission.

Ad hoc wireless networks
• Stations organize themselves into networks without an access point

• The LAN to WAN Connection
• LANs usually connect to WANs through dedicated leased lines at T1 (1.5 Mbps) or T3 (45 Mbps) speeds.
• The adequate sizing of the LAN-to-Wan link will be discussed in Chapters 9 and 10

Figure 2.4 shows the networking topology for a company headquarters in Los Angeles, with branches in Chicago and New York:
• The three locations are connected through a Frame Relay WAN
• The headquarters has a Ethernet and a Token Ring LAN connected to a 100-Mbps FDDI ring backbone
• The backbone connects to the Frame Relay WAN through a T1 line
• The Chicago branch has two LAN segments connected by a bridge
• The router to the WAN is located in one of the LAN segments
• The New York branch has a single 16-Mbps Token Ring LAN connected to the WAN through a router

Alternatives, when connecting a home PC (LANs) to a WAN:• Dial-up analog modems at speeds ranging from 14.4 to 56
Kbps• ISDN Basic Rate Interface (BRI): requires a dial-up digital
modem and provides speeds of 128 Kbps• ISDN Primary Rate Interface (PRI) delivers 1.544 Mbps• Leasing a T1 line: 1.544 Mbps• T1-like speeds can also be obtained with High-Bit-Rate
Digital Subscriber Line (HDSL) but with more flexibility• An asymmetric version of HDSL, Asymmetric Digital
Subscriber Line (ADSL), provides 640 Kbps outbound and 6 Mbps inbound This asymmetry is advantageous for Web access, since the bandwidth requirements for fast image and video downloads are higher than for sending requests to Web servers
