Asynchronous Transmission
MANAV
RACHNA
UNIVERSITY.
SYNCHRONOUS TRANSMISSION
 In Synchronous Transmission, data is sent in form
of blocks or frames.
 This transmission is the full duplex type. Between
sender and receiver the synchronization is
compulsory.
 In Synchronous transmission, There is no gap
present between data. It is more efficient and more
reliable than asynchronous transmission to transfer
the large amount of data.
MANAV
RACHNA
UNIVERSITY.
ASYNCHRONOUS TRANSMISSION
 In Asynchronous Transmission, data is sent in form
of byte or character.
 This transmission is the half duplex type
transmission. In this transmission start bits and stop
bits are added with data. It does not require
synchronization.

INTERNET: INTERCONNECTION OF
NETWORKS
Internet: When two or more networks are connected ,they become an
internetwork or internet.
History of the Internet
 1969 - Researchers at four US campuses create the first hosts of
the ARPANET.
 1971 - The ARPANET grows to 23 hosts connecting universities and
research centers.
 1973 - The ARPANET goes international with connections to
England and Norway.
 1982 - The term "Internet" was used for the first time and TCP/IP was
created.
 1992 - Internet Society is chartered. World-Wide Web released by
CERN.
MANAV
RACHNA

 INTERNET TODAY:
 Today internet is made up of many WAN and LAN joined by
connecting devices and switching stations.
 Today most of the end users uses the services of Internet service
providers (ISP).
Different ISPs:
 International Service Provider (ISP): Connects nations together.
 National Service Provider (NSP): These are backbone networks
created and maintained by specialized companies. Backbone
networks are connected by complex switching networks called
NAP (network access points).
 Regional Internet Service Provider: These are smaller ISP that
are connected to one or more national ISP .
 Local Internet Service Provider: The local ISPs can be connected
to regional ISP or directly to national ISP. They provides direct
service to end users.

NETWORK STRUCTURE
Point-to-Point Networks
 Each communication line connects a pair of nodes.
 A packet (or message) is transmitted from one node to another.
 Intermediate nodes receive and store entire packet and then
forward to the next node.
 Also called “Store-and-Forward” or “Packet-Switching”.
 Some topologies : Star, Ring, Tree.
Dedicated link
MANAV
RACHNA
UNIVERSITY.
 Broadcast / Multi-Point Networks
 Have a single communication line shared by all computers on the
network.
 Packets sent by a host are received by all computers.
 Some Topologies: Bus, Satellite, Radio.
Multiple Access / Shared Medium
MANAV
RACHNA
UNIVERSITY.
NETWORKING EQUIPMENT
 HUB
 A hub is the device at which data converges from one or more
directions and is forwarded out in one or more directions.
 Seen in local area networks
 BRIDGE
 A bridge is a product that connects a local area network (LAN) to
another local area network that uses the same protocol (for example,
Ethernet or token ring).
 A bridge examines each message on a LAN, "passing" those known
to be within the same LAN, and forwarding those known to be on the
other interconnected LAN (or LANs).
 SWITCHES
 Allow different nodes of a network to communicate directly with each
other.
 Allow several users to send information over a network at the same
time without slowing each other down.
MANAV
RACHNA
UNIVERSITY.
 ROUTER
 A router is a device or a software in a computer that determines the
next network point to which a packet should be forwarded toward its
destination.
 Allow different networks to communicate with each other.
 A router creates and maintain a table of the available routes and their
conditions and uses this information along with distance and cost
algorithms to determine the best route for a given packet.
 A packet will travel through a number of network points with routers
before arriving at its destination.
 GATEWAY
 A gateway is a network point that acts as an entrance to another
network.
 Gateway nodes are computers that control traffic within the
company’s network or at the local Internet Service Provider (ISP).

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN?
 BRIDGE : Device to interconnect two LANs that use the SAME
logical link control protocol but may use
different medium access control protocols.
 ROUTER : Device to interconnect SIMILAR networks, e.g.
similar protocols and workstations and servers.
 GATEWAY : Device to interconnect DISSIMILAR protocols and
servers, e.g. Macintosh and IBM LANs and equipment.

TYPES OF COMMUNICATION NETWORKS
Communication Networks can be categories into different types
based on the following factors:
 Coverage
(LAN,WAN,MAN)
 Topology
(Bus, Ring, Star, Tree, Hybrid, Mesh, Irregular)
 Connection method
(Wireless and Wired Technologies)
MANAV
RACHNA
UNIVERSITY.
Local Area Networks (LANs)
 Small interconnected of personal computers or workstations and
printers within a building or small area up to 10 Kms.
 Ownership usually by a single organization.
 Very high transmission rates (100s Mb/s to G bytes/s).
 LAN equipment usually owned by organization. Medium may be
owned or leased from telephone company provider or common
carrier.
 Twisted pair, fiber optics etc are used in LAN to servers.
 Examples: Ethernet, IBM Token Ring, Token Bus, FDDI, Fast
Ethernet, ATM, Gigabit Ethernet.

NETWORK TOPOLOGIES
 NODE : anything connected to the network, usually a computer,
but it could be a printer or a scanner
 SEGMENT : any portion of a network that is separated by a switch,
bridge or a router from another part of a network.
 BACKBONE : the main cabling of a network that all of the segment
connect to. Usually, the backbone is capable of carrying
more information than the individual segments.
 TOPOLOGY : The way each node is physically connected to the
network.

Network Topologies
Classification
MANAV
RACHNA
UNIVERSITY.
MESH TOPOLOGY
 In a mesh topology, every device is connected to
another device via the particular channel.
 Every device is connected with another via
dedicated channels. These channels are known as
links.
MANAV
RACHNA
UNIVERSITY.
 If suppose, N number of devices are connected the total
number of ports that are required by each device is N-1.
 If suppose, N number of devices are connected with
each other in a mesh topology, then a total number of
dedicated links required to connect them is NC2 i.e. N(N-
1)/2.
 Advantages:
 It is robust.
 Data is reliable because data is transferred among the
devices through dedicated channels or links.
 Provides security and privacy.
 Problems :
 Installation and configuration are difficult.
 The cost of cables is high as bulk wiring is required, hence
suitable for less number of devices.
 The cost of maintenance is high.
MANAV
RACHNA
UNIVERSITY.
STAR TOPOLOGY
 In star topology, all the devices are connected to a
single hub through a cable.
 This hub is the central node and all other nodes are
connected to the central node.
 The hub can be passive or active in nature
MANAV
RACHNA
UNIVERSITY.
 Advantages of this topology :
 If N devices are connected to each other in a star topology,
then the number of cables required to connect them is N. So,
it is easy to set up.
 Each device requires only 1 port i.e. to connect to the hub,
therefore total number of ports required is N.
 Problems with this topology :
 If the concentrator (hub) on which the whole topology relies
fails, the whole system will crash down.
 The cost of installation is high.
 Performance is based on the single concentrator i.e. hub.
MANAV
RACHNA
UNIVERSITY.
BUS TOPOLOGY
 Bus topology is a network type in which every
computer and network device is connected to a single
cable.
 It transmits the data from one end to another in a
single direction.
 No bi-directional feature is in bus topology. It is a multi-
point connection and a non-robust topology because if
the backbone fails the topology crashes.
MANAV
RACHNA
UNIVERSITY.
 Advantages of this topology :
 If N devices are connected to each other in a bus
topology, then the number of cables required to connect
them is 1, which is known as backbone cable, and N
drop lines are required.
 The cost of the cable is less as compared to other
topologies, but it is used to build small networks.
 Problems with this topology :
 If the common cable fails, then the whole system will
crash down.
 If the network traffic is heavy, it increases collisions in
the network. To avoid this, various protocols are used in
the MAC layer known as Pure Aloha, Slotted Aloha,
CSMA/CD, etc.
 Security is very low.
MANAV
RACHNA
UNIVERSITY.
RING TOPOLOGY
 In this topology, it forms a ring connecting devices with
its exactly two neighboring devices.
 A number of repeaters are used for Ring topology with
a large number of nodes,
 The transmission is unidirectional, but it can be made
bidirectional by having 2 connections between each
Network Node, it is called Dual Ring Topology.
MANAV
RACHNA
UNIVERSITY.
 One station is known as monitor station which takes all
the responsibility to perform the operations.
 To transmit the data, the station has to hold the token.
After the transmission is done, the token is to be
released for other stations to use.
 When no station is transmitting the data, then the token
will circulate in the ring.
 Advantages of this topology :
 The possibility of collision is minimum in this type of topology.
 Problems with this topology :
 Troubleshooting is difficult in this topology.
 The addition of stations in between or removal of stations can
disturb the whole topology.
 Less secure.
MANAV
RACHNA
UNIVERSITY.
TREE TOPOLOGY
 This topology is the variation of Star topology. This topology
has a hierarchical flow of data.
 In this, the various secondary hubs are connected to the
central hub which contains the repeater. In this data flow from
top to bottom i.e. from the central hub to secondary and then
to the devices or from bottom to top i.e. devices to the
secondary hub and then to the central hub. It is a multi-point
MANAV
RACHNA
UNIVERSITY.
 Advantages of this topology :
 It allows more devices to be attached to a single central
hub thus it increases the distance that is travel by the
signal to come to the devices.
 It allows the network to get isolate and also prioritize
from different computers.
 Problems with this topology :
 If the central hub gets fails the entire system fails.
 The cost is high because of cabling.

WIRED TECHNOLOGIES:
Twisted-Pair Wire - This is the most widely used medium for
telecommunication. Twisted-pair wires are ordinary telephone wires which
consist of two insulated copper wires twisted into pairs and are used for
both voice and data transmission. The use of two wires twisted together
helps to reduce crosstalk and electromagnetic induction. The transmission
speed ranges from 2 million bits per second to 100 million bits per second.
Coaxial Cable – These cables are widely used for cable television
systems, office buildings, and other worksites for local area networks. The
cables consist of copper or aluminum wire wrapped with insulating layer
typically of a flexible material with a high dielectric constant, all of which are
surrounded by a conductive layer. The layers of insulation help minimize
interference and distortion. Transmission speed range from 200 million to
more than 500 million bits per second.
CLASSIFICATION ACCORDING TYPES OF CONNECTION
MANAV
RACHNA
UNIVERSITY.
 Fiber Optics – These cables consist of one or more thin filaments of
glass fiber wrapped in a protective layer. It transmits light which can
travel over long distance and higher bandwidths. Fiber-optic cables are
not affected by electromagnetic radiation. Transmission speed could go
up to as high as trillions of bits per second. The speed of fiber optics is
hundreds of times faster than coaxial cables and thousands of times
faster than twisted-pair wire.
 WIRELESS TECHNOLOGIES:
 Terrestrial Microwave – Terrestrial microwaves use Earth-based
transmitter and receiver. The equipment look similar to satellite dishes.
Terrestrial microwaves use low-gigahertz range, which limits all
communications to line-of-sight. Path between relay stations spaced
approx. 30 miles apart. Microwave antennas are usually placed on top
of buildings, towers, hills, and mountain peaks.
 Communications Satellites – The satellites use microwave radio as
their telecommunications medium which are not deflected by the
Earth's atmosphere. The satellites are stationed in space, typically
22,000 miles above the equator. These Earth-orbiting systems are
capable of receiving and relaying voice, data, and TV signals.
MANAV
RACHNA
UNIVERSITY.
WIRELESS TECHNOLOGIES(contd…)
 Cellular Systems – Use several radio communications
technologies. The systems are divided to different geographic area.
Each area has low-power transmitter or radio relay antenna device to
relay calls from one area to the next area.
 Wireless LANs – Wireless local area network use a high-frequency
radio technology similar to digital cellular and a low-frequency radio
technology. Wireless LANs use spread spectrum technology to
enable communication between multiple devices in a limited area.
Example of open-standard wireless radio-wave protocol is IEEE
802.11b (Wi-Fi).

  • 31.  Advantages of this topology :  If N devices are connected to each other in a bus topology, then the number of cables required to connect them is 1, which is known as backbone cable, and N drop lines are required.  The cost of the cable is less as compared to other topologies, but it is used to build small networks.  Problems with this topology :  If the common cable fails, then the whole system will crash down.  If the network traffic is heavy, it increases collisions in the network. To avoid this, various protocols are used in the MAC layer known as Pure Aloha, Slotted Aloha, CSMA/CD, etc.  Security is very low. MANAV RACHNA UNIVERSITY.
  • 32. RING TOPOLOGY  In this topology, it forms a ring connecting devices with its exactly two neighboring devices.  A number of repeaters are used for Ring topology with a large number of nodes,  The transmission is unidirectional, but it can be made bidirectional by having 2 connections between each Network Node, it is called Dual Ring Topology.

  • 33.  One station is known as monitor station which takes all the responsibility to perform the operations.  To transmit the data, the station has to hold the token. After the transmission is done, the token is to be released for other stations to use.  When no station is transmitting the data, then the token will circulate in the ring.  Advantages of this topology :  The possibility of collision is minimum in this type of topology.  Problems with this topology :  Troubleshooting is difficult in this topology.  The addition of stations in between or removal of stations can disturb the whole topology.  Less secure.

  • 34. TREE TOPOLOGY  This topology is the variation of Star topology. This topology has a hierarchical flow of data.  In this, the various secondary hubs are connected to the central hub which contains the repeater. In this data flow from top to bottom i.e. from the central hub to secondary and then to the devices or from bottom to top i.e. devices to the secondary hub and then to the central hub. It is a multi-point MANAV RACHNA UNIVERSITY.
  • 35.  Advantages of this topology :  It allows more devices to be attached to a single central hub thus it increases the distance that is travel by the signal to come to the devices.  It allows the network to get isolate and also prioritize from different computers.  Problems with this topology :  If the central hub gets fails the entire system fails.  The cost is high because of cabling.

Twisted-pair wires are ordinary telephone wires which consist of two insulated copper wires twisted into pairs and are used for both voice and data transmission. The use of two wires twisted together helps to reduce crosstalk and electromagnetic induction. The transmission speed ranges from 2 million bits per second to 100 million bits per second. Coaxial Cable – These cables are widely used for cable television systems, office buildings, and other worksites for local area networks. The cables consist of copper or aluminum wire wrapped with insulating layer typically of a flexible material with a high dielectric constant, all of which are surrounded by a conductive layer. The layers of insulation help minimize interference and distortion. Transmission speed range from 200 million to more than 500 million bits per second.

  • 37.  Fiber Optics – These cables consist of one or more thin filaments of glass fiber wrapped in a protective layer. It transmits light which can travel over long distance and higher bandwidths. Fiber-optic cables are not affected by electromagnetic radiation. Transmission speed could go up to as high as trillions of bits per second. The speed of fiber optics is hundreds of times faster than coaxial cables and thousands of times faster than twisted-pair wire.  WIRELESS TECHNOLOGIES:  Terrestrial Microwave – Terrestrial microwaves use Earth-based transmitter and receiver. The equipment look similar to satellite dishes. Terrestrial microwaves use low-gigahertz range, which limits all communications to line-of-sight. Path between relay stations spaced approx. 30 miles apart. Microwave antennas are usually placed on top of buildings, towers, hills, and mountain peaks.  Communications Satellites – The satellites use microwave radio as their telecommunications medium which are not deflected by the Earth's atmosphere. The satellites are stationed in space, typically 22,000 miles above the equator. These Earth-orbiting systems are capable of receiving and relaying voice, data, and TV signals.

Each area has low-power transmitter or radio relay antenna device to relay calls from one area to the next area.  Wireless LANs – Wireless local area network use a high-frequency radio technology similar to digital cellular and a low-frequency radio technology. Wireless LANs use spread spectrum technology to enable communication between multiple devices in a limited area. Example of open-standard wireless radio-wave protocol is IEEE 802.11b (Wi-Fi).
