22. October 21, 200221 Introduction to Networks LAN technology is standardized The LAN is isolated from the computers that use it (via the circuit cards – aka network interface card (NIC) ) LAN parameters are independent of user machines – speed, distance, etc..

23. October 21, 200222 Introduction to Networks LANs have changed the economies of computing LANs allow the sharing of resources Use of inexpensive computers to access expensive resources Printers, disks… Remote printing is common LANs came along just in time.. Internet design assumed many LANs would be interconnected via the Internet…

24. October 21, 200223 Connecting LANs Bridge – connects networks with similar protocols Router – directs traffic via best path Routers are the Building Blocks of the Internet IP switches Replacing routers Less expensive Faster Gateway Connects LANs with dissimilar protocols Performs protocol conversion

25. October 21, 200224 How Does a Network Work? Various network technologies are incompatible… Many tradeoffs – cost, speed, extensibility, etc.. It is impractical, or infeasible, to require all computers to use the same network technology Needs of Engineering vs. Administration

26. October 21, 200225 How Does A Network Work A computer can have multiple NICs Each NIC can connect to a separate network Network A Network A Network B Network B

27. October 21, 200226 How Does a Network Work What is a router? A dedicated computer Special software Restarts automatically on power up Goal is to forward packets from one network to another – quickly, efficiently and correctly Process is called routing Computers are called routers

28. October 21, 200227 How Does a Network Work Routers – Building blocks of the Internet The Internet is not a conventional network. It consists of thousands of computer networks interconnected by dedicated special purpose computers called routers Routers can interconnect LANs and WANs

29. October 21, 200228 How Does a Network Work Wide Area Backbone LAN Net  A Happy Router

30. October 21, 200229 How Does the Network Work? Interconnecting networks was a revolutionary idea…. Simply connect to your closest neighbor and you are in! Issues now arise Privacy Politics Borders

31. October 21, 200230 Wide Area Networks… Wide Area Networks (WAN) First WANs used dialup technology to form a set of long-haul transmission lines Today leased lines are used – always on.. Uses a dedicated machine at each local site to unify the transmission lines into a coordinated system

32. October 21, 200231 WANs  A WAN differs from a disjoint set of transmission lines because of the inclusion of a special computer (Gateway) at each site that connects to the transmission lines and keeps communication independent of the computers that use the WAN

33. October 21, 200232 WAN Technology WAN G1 G2 G3

34. October 21, 200233 WANs Today Link computers in geographically distant locations

42. October 21, 200241 Ethernet Dominant protocol Bus or star topology Uses CSMA/CD CSMA/CD Carrier sense multiple access with collision detection Tries to avoid 2 or more computers communicating at the same time Computer listens and transmits when cable is not in use Collision results in waiting a random period and transmitting again Performance degrades with multiple collisions
