How physically today networks are setup? How logically networks are operate? Which flow network follow to reach to destination?
Data Communication Data Communications , Are the exchange of data between two parties via some form of transmission media such as a wire cable. Communicating devices must be part of communication system (hardware and software) to communication occur. The effectiveness of data communications system depends on four following fundamental characteristics. Delivery : The system must deliver data to the correct destination. Accuracy : The system must deliver the data accurately Timeline : The system must deliver data in a timely manner Jitter : Jitter refers to the variation in the packet arrival time
Data Communication: Components A data communications system has five components Message Sender Receiver Transmission media Protocol
Data Representation Text Text is represents as bit patterns Coding system (ASCII, Unicode) In ASCII each symbol is 1 byte but in Unicode each symbol is 4 bytes Number A code such as ASCII is not used to represent a number Directly converted to binary
Data Representation Image Images are also represents by bit patterns An image is composed of matrix of pixels each pixel is a small dot. Size of dot depends on resolution of image more dots result in better resolution. Each pixel is assigned to a bit patterns. For black and white 1 bit is enough but for other more bits are required. Methods: RGB(red, green,blue), YCM(yellow, cyan, magenta) Audio Analog or digital Video Continuous images .
Data Flow (Transmission mode) Communication between two devices can be Simplex Communication is unidirectional, as one way street Example
Network A network is a set of devices (nodes) connected by communication links. A node can be a computer, printer or any other device that capable of sending and receiving data. Network criteria Performance Reliability Recovery Security
Network Reliability The time it takes to recover a link from a failure Recovery Recovery is the Network's ability to return to a prescribed level of operation after a network failure. Recovery is based on having Back-up Files. Security Security is the protection of Hardware, Software and Data from unauthorized access. Restricted physical access to computers, password protection, limiting user privileges and data encryption are common security methods.
Type of Connection There are two type of connections in networking Point to point Provide a dedicated connection between two devices. Entire capacity is reserved between those devices Example: remote TV and TV Multiple point A link is shared among devices The entire capacity is shared among devices if simultaneously transferring is allowed
Physical Topology: Mesh Every device has a dedicated point to point connection to every other device. To find number of physical links based each device in fully connected mesh network with n nodes n (n - 1 ) But if the links are duplex n (n - 1 )/ 2 Number of ports for each device n - 1
Physical Topology: Mesh Advantages Dedicated links, Robust ,Security, fault identification Disadvantages Amount of cabling and ports More physical env cost Example : telephone original offices
Physical Topology: Bus A bus topology is a multiple point example, one long cable act as backbone to link all devices in the network. Advantages Ease of installation, less cables, Disadvantages Fault isolation, break in backbone down whole network
Physical Topology: Ring Each device has a dedicated point to point connection to only two devices on either side of it. Advantages All data flows in one direction, reducing the chance of packet collisions. Data can transfer between workstations at high speeds. Disadvantages All data being transferred over the network must pass through each workstation on the network, which can make it slower The entire network will be impacted if one workstation shuts down.
