0 likes773 views
The document provides an overview of data communications and networking. It discusses key concepts such as the communications model, data communications, networks, and the Internet. The communications model describes the basic elements of communication including the source, transmitter, transmission medium, receiver, and destination. Data is transmitted over networks, which can be local area networks or wide area networks. The Internet is a global system of interconnected computer networks that uses standardized communication protocols.

- 8. 8 tohttps://github.com/syaifulahdan/ (Cont.) 华声报旧金山消息： 12月26日台湾的一场强震不仅给台湾百姓造成了严重的损失，也给在美 华人带来了程度不同的经济影响。由于地震毁掉了6条海底电缆，导 致中美之间的网络中断，南加华商生意遭受挫折抱怨连连。 Case 1: 吴老板说，“在美国雇一个员工的钱在中国可以雇10个，网上销售 为我带来了无限商机。”可是26日他突然发现上不去网了。 “网络销售占本公司全部销售额的一半，如果要两个星期才能修复 海底光缆的话，仅网上eBay销售这一块我的损失就超过28万元，加 上国内网站的管理费和员工工资等，这场地震给我造成的直接损失至 少在30万元以上”。 Case 2: 工业市华裔商人石小姐在经营运输公司之余，还在香港做些股票生 意，27日她发现无法登陆香港股市网站，当得知是地震的原因时，她 心急如焚地表示，“完了，这几天上不了网，我的几百万股票恐怕凶 多吉少。” 8

- 11. 11 tohttps://github.com/syaifulahdan/ Human Communications • A transmitter: mouth • A receiver: ear • The media: air —Question: Can you talk at outer space? • The protocol: a common human language —Question: why do we learn English? 11
- 12. 12 tohttps://github.com/syaifulahdan/ A Communications Model • What is the purpose of communications? — Exchange of information between two parties • Key elements • Source: Generates data to be transmitted. E.g., telephones, PCs. • Transmitter: A transmitter transforms and encodes the information in such a way as to produce electromagnetic signals that can be transmitted across some sort of transmission system. • Transmission System −It can be a single transmission line or a complex network connecting source and destination. • Destination: Takes incoming data from the receiver • Receiver: The receiver accepts the signal from the transmission system and converts it into a form that can be handled by the destination device. 12

- 15. 15 tohttps://github.com/syaifulahdan/ Simplified Data Communications Model Assume the source and destination are PCs. The source wishes to send a message m to the destination. 15
- 16. 16 tohttps://github.com/syaifulahdan/ Transmission of Information • One basic choice facing a business user is the selection of transmission medium. —Within the business premise • Completely up to the business —Long-distance communications • Up to the long-distance carrier —New technologies • Optical fiber transmission • Wireless transmission • How to improve the efficiency of the use of network facilities? —Multiplexing and compression 16
- 18. 18 tohttps://github.com/syaifulahdan/ Why do we need a network? • Point to point communication is not always practical — Devices are too far apart — Large set of devices would need impractical number of connections Telegraph wires in late 19th century18

- 21. 21 tohttps://github.com/syaifulahdan/ At Ancient Time • How to achieve long-distance communications? • Solution 1 —Signal fires —Example • See the movie segment in “The Lord Of The Rings –Return Of The King” directed by Peter Jackson. • Solution 2 —Messengers, horses, post houses (驛站) —How efficient is it? • 56 days from 北京 to 廣州 • In both solutions, the concept of “relay” is very important, and it forms the basic principle of today’s Internet. 21
- 22. 22 tohttps://github.com/syaifulahdan/ Wide Area Networks • Cover a large geographical area —Consists of a set of interconnected switching nodes • Alternative technologies —I. Circuit switching • Telephone network —II. Packet switching • X.25: popular in 1980s • Frame relay: to replace X.25 • Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM): an evolution from frame relay • Internet: the dominant global network today 22
- 23. 23 tohttps://github.com/syaifulahdan/ (I) Circuit Switching • Dedicated communications path established for the duration of the conversation • Three steps: 1. Setup the circuit: allocate dedicated resources. 2. Transmit the data: utilize resources. 3. Terminate the circuit: release resources. • E.g. telephone network — Now, can you answer the question on Slide 6? 23
- 24. 24 tohttps://github.com/syaifulahdan/ (II) Packet Switching • Data are sent out in a sequence of small chunks, called packets. • Each Packet is passed through the network from node to node along some path leading from source to destination • At each node, the entire packet is received, stored, and then transmitted to the next node —Store-and-forward: buffering • What’s the impact? 24
- 25. 25 tohttps://github.com/syaifulahdan/ Local Area Networks • Smaller scope —Office, Building, Campus • Usually owned by the same organization that owns the attached devices • Internal data rates are high —10Mbps 100Mbps 1Gbps 10Gbps • Wireless LANs become more and more popular —Data rates of wireless LANs are increasing: 11Mbps 54Mbps hundreds of Mbps 25

- 27. 27 tohttps://github.com/syaifulahdan/ Internet Elements • The purpose of the Internet is to interconnect end systems, called hosts — Such as PCs, servers, notebooks, PDAs, smart phones, etc. • Most hosts that use the Internet are connected to a network, such as a LAN or a WAN • Networks are in turn connected by routers. Each router attaches to two or more networks. • A host may send data to another host anywhere on the Internet: — The source host breaks the data into a sequence of packets, called IP packets, or IP datagrams. — Each packet includes the unique numeric addresses of the source host and destination host, called IP addresses. — Based on the destination IP address, each packet travels through a series of routers and networks from source to destination. • Each router, upon receiving an IP packet, makes a routing decision and forwards the packet along its way to the destination. 27
- 29. 29 tohttps://github.com/syaifulahdan/ Internet Architecture • Today’s Internet is made up of thousands of overlapping hierarchical networks. • Individual hosts and LANs are connected to an Internet Service Provider (ISP) through a Point of Presence (POP). —Customer Premises Equipment (CPE): the communications equipment located onsite with the host, such as the modem. • Different levels of ISPs —Local ISP, Regional ISP, Backbone ISP • Backbone ISPs may be connected through the Network Access Point (NAP). 29
- 31. 31 tohttps://github.com/syaifulahdan/ KEY POINTS • Data communications deals with the transmission of signals in a reliable and efficient manner. Topics covered include signal transmission, transmission media, signal encoding, interfacing, and data link control. • Networking deals with the technology and architecture of the communications networks used to interconnect communicating devices. This field is generally divided into the topics of local area networks (LANs) and wide area networks (WANs). 31
