Datacom Network, Architecture,
Protocols, and Standards
• Connectionless Protocol.
– Does not require a handshake prior to
transmission
– Does not support error control or
acknowledgment procedures
– Is more efficient because the data being
transmitted do not justify the extra overhead
required by connection-oriented protocols
Datacom Network, Architecture,
Protocols, and Standards
• Standard. An object or procedure considered by
an authority or by general consent as a basis of
comparison.
• Classification of Standards.
– Proprietary Standards. Closed system
standards generally manufactured or controlled
by one company.

Standards Organizations for Data
Communications
• IAB. Internet Architecture Board
– Oversees Internet architecture protocols and procedures.
– Manages processes used to create Internet standards and serves as an
appeal board for complaints on the proper of execution of such
processes.
– Administers various Internet assigned numbers.
– Represents Internet Society interests in liaison relationships with other
organizations.
– Source of advice for guidance to the Internet Society concerning
technical, architectural, procedural, and policy matters concerning the
Internet and its enabling technologies.

Layered Network Architecture
• The layering of network responsibilities allows each layer to
add value to services provided by sets of lower layers.
• Layered architecture facililitates peer-to-peer network
protocols.
• Layered architecture allows different computers to
communicate at different levels.
• When technological advances occur, it is easier to modify
one layer’s protocol without having to modify all the other
layers.
• The disadvantage of layered architecture is the tremendous
amount of overhead required.
Layered Network Architecture
• Protocol Data Unit (PDU). A unit of data used to facilitate
seamless exchange of information between layers of the
protocol stack. Consists of a header and/or trailer
appended to the data as it passes through a layer.
• Encapsulation. The process of adding a protocol data unit
as the data frame passes from an upper layer to the layer
immediately below it. (Downward direction)
• Decapsulation. The process of removing a protocol data
unit as the data frame passes from a lower to the layer
immediately above it. (Upward direction)
Popular Layered Protocols
• OSI (Open Systems Interconnection). A seven layer
protocol developed and adopted by the ISO and the ITU-T
in 1983.
