Introduction
Among all of the essentials for human existence is the need to interact with others.
Communication is almost as important to us as our reliance on air, water, food.
The creation and interconnection of robust Data Networks is having a profound effect.
12/46
Data Networks
Current data networks have evolved to carry voice, video streams, text, and graphics between many different types of devices
13/46
Communication
It can be in many forms and occurs in many environments
Before beginning to communicate with each other, we establish rules or agreements to govern the conversation. (Protocols)
Among the protocols that govern successful human communication are:
– An identified sender and receiver
– Agreed upon method of communicating (face-to-face, telephone, letter, photograph)
– Common language and grammar
– Speed and timing of delivery
– Confirmation or acknowledgement requirements

The Elements of Digital Communication
Message sources devices that need to send a message to devices.
A channel, consists of the media that provides the pathway over which the message can travel from source to destination.
Messages can be sent across a network by first converting them into binary digits, or bits. These bits are then encoded into a signal that can be transmitted over the appropriate medium.

Network Core
Mesh of interconnected routers that connect the Internet’s end systems.
The fundamental question: how is data transferred through net?
–Circuit Switching: dedicated circuit per call: telephone net
–Packet-Switching: data sent thru net in discrete “chunks”
19/46
Network Core: Circuit Switching
A circuit-switched network is one that establishes a dedicated circuit (or channel) between nodes and terminals before the users may communicate.
20/46
Network Core: Circuit Switching
The four circuit switches are interconnected by four links.
Each of these links consists of n circuits, so that each link can support n simultaneous connections.
21/46
Multiplexing Circuit Switching
Frequency Spectrum: the difference between the highest and lowest frequencies available for network signals.
Frequency Division Multiplexing (FDM): The frequency spectrum of a link is shared among the connections established across the link.
–The link dedicates a frequency band to each connection for the duration of the connection.
Time Division Multiplexing (TDM): Time is divided into frames of fixed duration and each frame is divided into a fixed number of time slots.
–When the network establish a connection across a link, the network dedicates one time slot in every frame to the connection.

Network Core: Packet Switching Packet switching splits traffic data into packets that are routed over a
shared network.
Packet-switching networks do not require a circuit to be established, and they allow many pairs of nodes to communicate over the same channel.
24/46
Multiplexing Packet Switching
STDM method analyzes statistics related to the typical workload of each input device (printer, fax, computer) and determines on-the-fly how much time each device should be allocated for data transmission on the cable or line.

dtrans: transmission delay:
L: packet length (bits) R: link bandwidth (bps)
dtrans = L/R
dprop: propagation delay: d: length of physical link s: propagation speed in
medium (~2x108 m/sec) dprop = d/sdtrans and dprop
very different

Communicating Over Networks
All networks have four basic elements in common:– Rules or agreements to govern how the messages are sent, directed, received and interpreted
– The messages or units of information that travel from one device to another
– A means of interconnecting these devices - a medium that can transport the messages from one device to another
– Devices on the network that exchange messages with each other
27/46
The Elements of a Network
Devices– These are used to
communicate with one another
Medium– This is how the devices
are connected together
Messages– Information that travels
over the medium
Rules– Governs how messages
flow across network

Network connections can be wired or wireless
Cable: UTP, Coaxial, Optic Fibers etc
Wireless: Bluetooth, laser, microwave etc

The Elements of a Network
Protocols are the rules that the networked devices use to communicate with each other. The industry standard in networking today is a set of protocols called TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol).
On the top of TCP/IP:

Converged Networks
Traditional telephone, radio, television, and computer data networks each have their own individual versions of the four basic network elements.
In the past, every one of these services required a different technology to carry its particular communication signal.
39/46
Converged Networks
Technology advances are enabling us to consolidate these disparate networks onto one platform - a platform defined as a converged network.

Network Architecture Characteristics There are 4 basic characteristics for networks in
general to meet user expectations– Fault tolerance
– Scalability
– Quality of service (QoS)
– Security
41/46
A Fault Tolerant Network Architecture
Fault tolerance is the ability for a network to recover from an error, such as the failure of a device or a link (a connection between two devices).
Fault tolerance is often achieved by having redundant devices or links, so that if one fails, messages can be re-routed around the failure through other devices or links.
42/46
A Fault Tolerant Network Architecture Early network type: Circuit switched connection-
oriented network
43/46
A Fault Tolerant Network Architecture
Packet switched networks, the data are broken up into many small packets that are sent independently through the network, each finding its own best route through the network.
44/46
A Scalable Network Architecture
Scalability means the ability to expand to meet new demands.
Most networks are designed in a hierarchical, layered approach so new devices and links can be added without interfering with existing networks.
45/46
Providing Quality of Service (QoS)
Quality of Service is a control mechanism that can provide different priority to different users or data flow or guarantee a certain level of performance to a data flow in accordance with request from the application program.

Providing Network Security Unauthorized use of communication data might have
serious consequences
2 types of network security concerns that must be addressed to prevent serious consequences:
– Network Infrastructure Security - physical securing of devices that provide network connectivity and preventing unauthorized access to the management software that resides on them
– Content Security - protecting the information contained within the packets being transmitted over the network and the information stored on network attached devices
49/46
Providing Network Security
Security measures taken in a network should:– Prevent unauthorized disclosure or theft of information
– Prevent unauthorized modification of information
– Prevent Denial of Service
Means to achieve these goals include:– Ensuring confidentiality
– Maintaining communication integrity
– Ensuring availability
