1. Telecommunications & The Internet

2. Basic Telecom Model Computer Channel interface Channel interface Communication Channel

3. Typical Home Telecom Model Computer Modem Audio Phone Lines Digital signals Digital signals Analog signals

4. Channels Twisted wire (twisted pair) Coaxial Cable Fiber Optics Microwave Newer Wireless

5. Twisted Pair Low cost easy to work with installed infrastructure crosstalk 300bps to 100Mbps “This modem is 56Kbps capable. However, current regulations limit download speeds to 53Kbps,” the fine print from a typical modem advertisement.

6. DSL Uses existing twisted pair 256Kbps to 40Mbps Loop length max about 18,000 ft. More correctly ADSL (Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line) with download speeds different from upload speeds.

7. Coaxial Cable More expensive harder to work with not as extensive an existing infrastructure –cable TV companies are changing this 56Kbps to 550Mbps

8. Fiber Optics Very expensive difficult to work with existing infrastructure limit to backbones 500Kbps to 30Gbps

9. Microwave Not as expensive as land lines Limited to line of site, (towers) –reasonable infrastructure Satellite bounce, increases expense –geo-synchronous (22,000 miles) –low earth orbit (cheaper, lower power) 256Kbps to 100Mbps

10. Newer Wireless –Cellular –mobile data networks –personal communications services (PCS) –note: pagers & PDAs are not channels, they would be nodes on one end of a channel

11. Transmission Speed BPS, bits-per-second, the amount of information that can be transmitted through a channel BAUD - a binary event, a signal change from positive to negative or vice versa.

12. Speed II At higher speeds a single signal change can transmit more than one bit at a time, so the bit rate will generally be higher that the baud rate. Transmission capacity is a function of the frequency, higher frequency means higher capacity

13. More Speed Bandwidth = range of frequencies that a channel can support (difference between highest and lowest frequency). Greater range means greater bandwidth. Greater bandwidth means greater transmission capacity.

14. Faster Yet Bandwidth is like pipe diameter. Larger diameter pipes can transmit more water in a given period of time. Personal Communication Services, PCSs, have a greater bandwidth than fiber optics.

16. Network Topology Star Network Bus Network Ring Network CCCCCCCCCCCCPPP

17. Networks Local Area Network, LAN Wide Area Network, WAN Value Added Network, VAN

18. Network Terms File server Print server Gateway - connects dissimilar networks Bridge - connects similar networks Routers - connects networks & directs traffic Similar networks = same network protocols

19. 20Chapter 8 Transmission on LANs Token Ring –can talk only when you have the token –cost more than Ethernet –better for high volume traffic Ethernet –talk whenever you want –send again if collision –works best with low volume traffic

20. Transmission on WANs & VANs Packet Switching –message broken into packets –packets may take various routes –message reassembled at destination –allows load balancing on channels Frame Relay –like packet switching, no error correction

39. IP Addresses An identifier for a computer or device on a TCP/IP network. Networks using the TCP/IP protocol route messages based on the IP address of the destination. The format of an IP address is a 32-bit numeric address written as four numbers separated by periods. Each number can be zero to 255. For example, 1.160.10.240 could be an IP address.identifierdevice TCP/IPnetworkprotocol
