Data Communications
?
Intro/Overview 7
Contemporary Data Comms
trends
traffic growth at a high & steady rate
development of new services
advances in technology
significant change in requirements
emergence of high-speed LANs
corporate WAN needs
digital electronics
Intro/Overview 8
A Communications Model
Intro/Overview 9
Data Communications Model
Intro/Overview 10
Networking
growth of number & power of computers is driving need
for interconnection
also seeing rapid integration of voice, data, image &
video technologies
two broad categories of communications networks:
Local Area Network (LAN)
Wide Area Network (WAN)
Intro/Overview 11
Local Area Networks
smaller scope
Building or small campus
usually owned by same organization as attached devices
data rates much higher
switched LANs, eg Ethernet
wireless LANs
Intro/Overview 12
Wide Area Networks
Large geographical area
Crossing public rights of way
Rely in part on common carrier circuits
Technologies in use
Circuit switching
Packet switching
Frame relay
Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM)
Intro/Overview 14
Circuit Switching
Dedicated communications path established for the
duration of the conversation
e.g. telephone network
Intro/Overview 15
Packet Switching
Data sent out of sequence
Small chunks (packets) of data at a time
Packets passed from node to node between source and
destination
Used for terminal to computer and computer to
computer communications
Intro/Overview 16
Frame Relay
Packet switching systems have large overheads to
compensate for errors
Modern systems are more reliable
Errors can be caught in end system
Most overhead for error control is stripped out
Intro/Overview 17
Asynchronous Transfer Mode
ATM
Evolution of frame relay
Little overhead for error control
Fixed packet (called cell) length
Anything from 10Mbps to Gbps
Constant data rate using packet switching technique
Intro/Overview 18
The Internet
Internet evolved from ARPANET (1969)
first operational packet network
applied to tactical radio & satellite nets also
had a need for interoperability
led to standardized TCP/IP protocols
