LINE CONFIGURATION
Line configuration defines the attachment of communication devices to a link.
OR
Line configuration is concerned with the connection of devices to the transmission media.
Line configuration is also referred to as connection.
KASHIF IHSAN, LECTURER CS, MIHE
4
LINE CONFIGURATION
A link is a communication medium through which data is communicated between devices.
For communication to occur between two devices, they must be connected to the same link at the same time.
KASHIF IHSAN, LECTURER CS, MIHE
5
TYPES OF LINE CONFIGURATION
There are two possible types of line configurations:
1. Point-to-Point Connection
2. Multipoint Connection
KASHIF IHSAN, LECTURER CS, MIHE
6
POINT-TO-POINT
A point to point line configuration provides a dedicated link between two communicating devices.
This entire link is reserved only for the communication of these two particular devices, and no other device can use that link.
KASHIF IHSAN, LECTURER CS, MIHE
7
POINT-TO-POINT
When you change the television channel by remote control, you are establishing a point-to-point connection between the remote control and the television’s control system.
KASHIF IHSAN, LECTURER CS, MIHE
8
MULTIPOINT
A multipoint line configuration is one in which more than two devices share a single link.
This type of connection allows multiple devices (more than two devices) to share a single link.
KASHIF IHSAN, LECTURER CS, MIHE

NETWORK TOPOLOGY
The network topology is the shape or the physical connectivity of the network.
Network topology defines the physical structure of the network.
KASHIF IHSAN, LECTURER CS, MIHE
12
NETWORK TOPOLOGY
We will discuss the following types of network topology in detail:
Bus Topology
Star Topology
Ring Topology
Mesh Topology
KASHIF IHSAN, LECTURER CS, MIHE
13
BUS TOPOLOGY
A bus topology is a multipoint configuration.
One long cable acts as a backbone to connect all the devices in the network.
Devices are connected to the bus by drop-line and tap.
KASHIF IHSAN, LECTURER CS, MIHE
14
BUS TOPOLOGY
Drop-line: It is a connection running between the device and main cable.
Tap: It is a connector that either splices into the main cable or punctures the cable to create contact with the metallic core.
KASHIF IHSAN, LECTURER CS, MIHE
15
BUS TOPOLOGY
Advantage:
Ease of installation since less cabling is required.
Disadvantages:
Network won’t transmit correctly if even one node on the network is malfunctioning.
Difficulty in fault isolation as due to fault, the whole network may be down.
KASHIF IHSAN, LECTURER CS, MIHE
17
STAR TOPOLOGY
In star topology, each device has a dedicated point-to-point link only to the central controller, generally called a HUB.
In star topology, communication is with a central HUB that resend the message either to all the computers (in a broadcast star network) or only to the destination computer (in a switch star network).
KASHIF IHSAN, LECTURER CS, MIHE
18
STAR TOPOLOGY
The devices are not directly linked to one another.
The controller acts as an exchange, if one device want to send data to another, it send the data to the controller, which then sends the data to the other connected device.
KASHIF IHSAN, LECTURER CS, MIHE
19
STAR TOPOLOGY
Advantages:
Better performance: Star topology prevents the passing of data packets through an excessive number of nodes. At most, 3 devices and 2 links are involved in any communication between any two devices.
Benefits from centralization: Centralization also allows the inspection of traffic through the network. This facilitates analysis of the traffic and detection of suspicious behavior.
KASHIF IHSAN, LECTURER CS, MIHE
21
STAR TOPOLOGY
Advantages:
No disruptions to the network when connecting or removing devices from the network.
Disadvantages:
High dependence of the system on the functioning of the central hub.
Failure of the central hub results in the network being inoperable.
KASHIF IHSAN, LECTURER CS, MIHE
22
RING TOPOLOGY
A topology where each device has a dedicated point-to-point line configuration (connection) only with the two devices on either side of it, thus forming a single continuous pathway for signals through each device – a ring.
Each device in the ring incorporates a repeater.
KASHIF IHSAN, LECTURER CS, MIHE
23
RING TOPOLOGY
Advantages:
Very orderly network where every device has the opportunity to transmit.
Performs better than a bus topology under heavy network load.
Does not require network server to manage the connectivity between the computers.
KASHIF IHSAN, LECTURER CS, MIHE
25
RING TOPOLOGY
Disadvantages:
A break in the ring (a disabled device) can cause the whole network disabled.
Moves, adds and changes of devices can affect the network.
KASHIF IHSAN, LECTURER CS, MIHE
26
MESH TOPOLOGY
A topology where every device has a dedicated point-to-point link to every other device.
We need n(n-1) physical link, however, if physical link allow communication in both direction (duplex mode), we can divide the number of links by 2.
KASHIF IHSAN, LECTURER CS, MIHE
27
MESH TOPOLOGY
In other words we can say that in mesh topology we need n(n-1)/2 duplex mode links.
KASHIF IHSAN, LECTURER CS, MIHE
28
MESH TOPOLOGY
Advantages:
The use of dedicated links guarantees that each connection can carry its own load.
Robust (strong & healthy; can recover fast from failed state).
Evidence of privacy and security.
Ease in fault identification and fault isolation.
KASHIF IHSAN, LECTURER CS, MIHE
30
MESH TOPOLOGY
Disadvantages:
Difficulty in installation and reconfiguration.
Bulk of wiring can be greater than the available space.
Hardware requirements to connect each link is relatively expensive.
KASHIF IHSAN, LECTURER CS, MIHE
31
CATEGORIES OF NETWORKS
Networks are categorized into three main categories which are as follows:
LAN (Local Area Network)
MAN (Metropolitan Area Network)
WAN (Wide Area Network)
KASHIF IHSAN, LECTURER CS, MIHE
32
LAN (LOCAL AREA
NETWORK)
A local area network operate within a limited geographic area.
A networked office building, school, or home usually contains a single LAN, though sometimes one building may contain a few small LANs (perhaps one per room).
LANs are typically owned, controlled and managed by a single person or organization.
KASHIF IHSAN, LECTURER CS, MIHE
34
LAN REQUIREMENTS
It has two main requirements:
Hardware Requirements
Software Requirements
Network hardware includes NIC/Network Adapter/LAN Card, Hub/Switch, Cable, Connectors (RJ-45).
Network software includes protocols.
KASHIF IHSAN, LECTURER CS, MIHE
35
LAN CHARACTERISTICS
It is a high capacity network (230 Kbps to 10 Gbps).
It is local (works within a finite distance in a limited geographic area such as an office or a building).
It usually uses cable but may use radio waves, infrared or microwaves.
It is normally used by a single organization.
KASHIF IHSAN, LECTURER CS, MIHE
38
MAN (METROPOLITAN AREA NETWORK)
It is a high speed network which spans city distances. OR
It may be a single network such as cable television network. OR
It may be a means of connecting a number of LANs into a larger network, so that the resources may be shared LAN-to-LAN.
KASHIF IHSAN, LECTURER CS, MIHE
39
A metropolitan area network may be owned by a private company, or it may be a service provided by a public company, such as a local telephone company.
Many telephone companies provide a popular MAN service called Switched Multi-megabit Data Service (SMDS). It is a service for handling high-speed communication for metropolitan area network.
KASHIF IHSAN, LECTURER CS, MIHE
41MAN (METROPOLITAN AREA NETWORK)
WAN (WIDE AREA NETWORK)
A wide area network (WAN) provides long-distance transmission of data, image, audio, and video information over large geographic areas that may comprise a country, a continent, or even the whole world.
The Internet is the world’s largest WAN.
KASHIF IHSAN, LECTURER CS, MIHE
42
Characteristics:
They use data lines which belong to a third party service provider such as the telephone company. They require special interfaces to the data lines such as synchronous modems & routers.
Routing technology is a crucial component of a WAN. Routers decide how a packet should be sent in order that it arrives at its intended destination
KASHIF IHSAN, LECTURER CS, MIHE
44WAN (WIDE AREA NETWORK)
THE INTERNET
An internet (note the lowercase letter i) is two or more networks that can communicate with each other.
The term internet (lowercase i) should not be confused with the Internet (uppercase I).
The first is a generic term used to mean an interconnection of networks.
The second is the name of a specific world wide network.
KASHIF IHSAN, LECTURER CS, MIHE
45
THE INTERNET
The most notable internet is called Internet (uppercase letter I), in which connect more than hundreds of thousands interconnected networks.
Internet simply called “net” is a world wide system of computer networks.
KASHIF IHSAN, LECTURER CS, MIHE
46
THE INTERNET
Every computer on the net has a unique Internet address or IP address (similar to telephone address), which can be accessed any other computer by dialing to the other IP address.
KASHIF IHSAN, LECTURER CS, MIHE
47
HISTORY OF INTERNET
The extraordinary communication system “Internet” came into being in 1969.
In mid-1960, mainframe computers in research organization were stand-alone devices.
Computers from different manufacturers were unable to communicate with one another.
The Advanced Research Project Agency (ARPA) in the Department of Defense was interesting in in finding a way to connect computers.
KASHIF IHSAN, LECTURER CS, MIHE
48
In 1967, at an Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) meeting, ARPA presented its ideas for ARPANET, a small network connected computes.
The basic purpose was to create a network that allows the researchers of one university to be able to talk or share their research to the researchers of other university.
KASHIF IHSAN, LECTURER CS, MIHE
49HISTORY OF INTERNET
The network was designed to work without centralized control.
This means if one portion of network fails, the remaining portion will be able to route packets from sender to receiver through an alternate path.
The second benefits of ARPANET was that, messages could continue functionality, If one portion of network is destroyed in disaster or in military attack.
KASHIF IHSAN, LECTURER CS, MIHE
50HISTORY OF INTERNET
Internet has linked numerous LANs into huge network. The LANs and computers connected to internet is maintained by Internet Service Providers (ISPs), who sells internet services to people.
Today most end users who want Internet connection use the services of ISPs.
There are International ISPs, National ISPs, Regional ISPs and Local ISPs.
KASHIF IHSAN, LECTURER CS, MIHE
51HISTORY OF INTERNET
The International ISPs connect nations together.
The National ISPs are backbone networks created and maintained by specialized companies.
The Regional ISPs are smaller ISPs that are connected to one or more national ISPs.
The Local ISPs provide direct services to the end users.
