2 Objectives Understand data communication basics. Know the data transmission speed for communication between computers. Be familiar with local area networks, metropolitan area networks, wide area networks, and the Internet of networks. Understand the two main local area network protocols-- Token-Ring and Ethernet. Understand the data communication services provided by public telephone systems, also known as common carriers. Be familiar with communications hardware that supports networking.

Understand the two main local area network protocols-- Token-Ring and Ethernet.

3 Communication Basics Computer communications is at three levels Application level Computer level Communication channel Protocol Set of rules for communications OSI Standard 10-3

4 OSI Reference Model Layer Name Purpose 7 Application Layer Application-to-application communication 6 Presentation Layer Manage data representation conversions 5 Session Layer Establish and maintain communication channel 4 Transport Layer Guarantee end-to-end integrity of transmission 3 Network Layer Route data between network addresses 2 Data Link Layer Move data from one network address to another 1 Physical Layer Put data onto and off of the network media 10-4

Transport Layer Guarantee end-to-end integrity of transmission 3 Network Layer Route data between network addresses

6 Protocols for Computer Early computers Terminals Sneaker net Communication System Network Architecture (SNA) Established by IBM in 1974 Proprietary Token-Ring Host computer controlled peer-to-peer 10-6

7 Ethernet Protocols for Computer Communication Xerox working with Intel and Digital Equipment Corporation developed this protocol Non-proprietary Defined by IEEE Works on a single transmission line No token is passed 10-7

developed this protocol Non-proprietary Defined by

8 Packets Piece of the total data to be communicated, combined with the address of the destination computer for the data and other control information. Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) is one of the more important packet switching protocols 10-8

9 Network Addresses Address Four-part set of numbers Each from 0 to 255 Internet Service Providers (ISPs) User connects through common carrier Serial Line Internet Protocol (SLIP) and Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) Protocols for users at home 10-9
