15. 15 Network Elements: Recap Name the 9 Elements of Single networks. –Without looking back through your handout Never talk about an innovation “reducing cost,” “increasing speed,” etc. without specifying which element is cheaper or faster. For example, multiplexing only reduces the cost of trunk lines; other costs are not decreased Never talk about an innovation “reducing cost,” “increasing speed,” etc. without specifying which element is cheaper or faster. For example, multiplexing only reduces the cost of trunk lines; other costs are not decreased

16. Part III: Transmission Speed

17. 17 Figure 1-6: Transmission Speed Measuring Transmission Speed –Measured in bits per second (bps) –In metric notation: Increasing factors of 1,000 … –Not factors of 1,024 Kilobits per second (kbps)-note the lowercase k Megabits per second (Mbps) Gigabits per second (Gbps) Terabits per second (Tbps)

18. 18 Figure 1-6: Transmission Speed Measuring Transmission Speed –What is 23,000 bps in metric notation? –What is 3,000,000,000 in metric notation? –What is 15,100,000 bps in metric notation? Occasionally measured in bytes per second If so, written as Bps Usually seen in file download speeds

19. 19 Figure 1-6: Transmission Speed Writing Transmission Speeds in Proper Form –The rule for writing speeds (and metric numbers in general) in proper form is that there should be 1 to 3 places before the decimal point –23.72 Mbps is correct (2 places before the decimal point). –2,300 Mbps has four places before the decimal point, so it should be rewritten as 2.3 Gbps (1 place). –0.5 Mbps has zero places to the left of the decimal point. It should be written as 500 kbps (3 places).

20. 20 Figure 1-6: Transmission Speed Writing Transmission Speeds in Proper Form –How to convert 1,200 Mbps to proper form Divide the number 1,200 by 1000 –Move decimal point three places to the left: 1.200 Multiply the metric suffix Mbps by 1,000 –Gbps Result: –1.2 Gbps

21. 21 Figure 1-6: Transmission Speed Writing Transmission Speeds in Proper Form –How to convert 0.036 Mbps to proper form Multiply the number 0.036 by 1000 –Move decimal point three places to the right: 36 Divide the metric suffix Mbps by 1,000 –kbps Result: –36 kbps

22. 22 Figure 1-6: Transmission Speed Writing Transmission Speeds in Proper Form –How should you write the following in proper form? 549.73 kbps 0.47 Gbps 11,200 Mbps.0021 Gbps

23. 23 Figure 1-6: Transmission Speed Rated Speed –The speed in bits per second that you should get (advertised or specified in the standard). Throughput –The speed you actually get –Almost always lower than the rated speed On Shared Transmission Lines –Aggregate throughput—total throughput for all users –Individual throughput—what individual users get

24. Part IV: LANs and WANs

25. 25 Figure 1-8: LANs Versus WANs Characteristics Scope LANs WANs For transmission within a site. Campus, building, and SOHO (Small Office or Home Office) LANs For transmission within a site. Campus, building, and SOHO (Small Office or Home Office) LANs For transmission between sites For transmission between sites Building LAN Building LAN Home LAN Home LAN Campus LAN Campus LAN Wide Area Network

26. 26 WANsCharacteristicsLANs Cost per bit TransmittedLowHigh Figure 1-8: LANs Versus WANs Typical Speed Unshared 100 Mbps to a gigabit per second to each desktop. Even faster trunk line speeds. Shared 128 kbps to several megabits per second trunk line speeds It’s simple economics. If the cost per unit is higher, the number of units demanded will be lower. Corporations cannot afford high-speed for most of their WAN transmission

27. 27 Figure 1-8: LANs Versus WANs Characteristics Management LANs WANs On own premises, so firm builds and manages its own LAN or outsources the Work On own premises, so firm builds and manages its own LAN or outsources the Work Must use a carrier with rights of way for transmission in public Area. Carrier handles most work but Charges a high price. Must use a carrier with rights of way for transmission in public Area. Carrier handles most work but Charges a high price.

29. Part V: Internets

30. 30 Figure 1-11: Internets Single LANs Versus Internets –In single networks (LANs and WANs), all devices connect to one another by switches—our focus so far. –In contrast, an internet is a group of networks connected by routers so that any application on any host on any single network can communicate with any application on any other host on any other network in the internet. LAN WAN LAN Application Router

31. 31 Figure 1-11: Internets Internet Components –All computers in an internet are called hosts –Clients as well as servers Cat (Ignores Internet) Internet Client PC (Host) Cellphone (Host) VoIP Phone (Host) PDA (Host) Server (Host) Host

32. 32 Figure 1-11: Internets Hosts Have Two Addresses IP Address –This is the host’s official address on its internet –32 bits long –Expressed for people in dotted decimal notation (e.g., 128.171.17.13) Single-Network Addresses –This is the host’s address on its single network –Ethernet addresses, for instance, are 48 bits long –Expressed in hexadecimal notation (e.g., AF-23-9B- E8-67-47)

33. 33 Figure 1-11: Internets Networks are connected by devices called routers –Switches provide connections within networks, while routers provide connections between networks in an internet. Frames and Packets –In single networks, message are called frames –In internets, messages are called packets

34. 34 Figure 1-11: Internets Packets are carried within frames –One packet is transmitted from the source host to the destination host across the internet Its IP destination address is that of the destination host Frame Packet LAN WAN LAN Router

35. 35 Figure 1-11: Internets Packets are carried within frames –In each network, the packet is carried in (encapsulated in) a frame –If there are N networks between the source and destination hosts, there will be one packet and N networks between the source and destination hosts, there will be one packet and N frames for a transmission Frame Packet LAN WAN LAN Router
