 prescription of characterizing and standardizing the
functions of a communications system in terms of
abstraction layers (a way of hiding the implementation
details of a particular set of functionality)
 Similar communication functions are grouped into logical
layers
 A layer serves the layer above it and is served by the
layer below it

Core Network Evolution
15

 Synchronous
 Connection oriented
 TDM
 SDH
 PDH
 Asynchronous
 Connection oriented
 X.25 (1976)
 FR(80s)
 ATM (90s)
 MPLS
 Connection-less
 Ethernet (1973~1976)
 IP (DoD Standard IP, RFC 760, Jan 1980)


Data Link Layer
16

 protocol layer that transfers data between adjacent
network nodes in a WAN or between nodes on the
same LAN segment
 provides the functional and procedural means to
transfer data between network entities and might
provide the means to detect and possibly correct errors
that may occur in the physical layer
 Ex: - ATM, L2TP, IEEE 802.3, Frame Relay, PPP, X.25

ATM
17

 a telecommunications concept defined by ANSI and ITU (formerly CCITT) standards for carriage of a
complete range of user traffic, including voice, data, and video signals, and is designed to unify
telecommunication and computer networks
 uses asynchronous time-division multiplexing, and it encodes data into small, fixed-sized cells
 differs from approaches such as the IP or Ethernet that use variable sized packets or frames
 provides data link layer services that run over a wide range of OSI physical Layer links
 has functional similarity with both circuit switched networking and small packet switched networking
 designed for a network that must handle both traditional high-throughput data traffic (e.g., file transfers),
and real-time, low-latency content such as voice and video
 uses a connection-oriented model in which a virtual circuit must be established between two endpoints
before the actual data exchange begins
 is a core protocol used over the SONET/SDH backbone of the PSTN and ISDN, but its use is declining in
favor of all IP

FR
20

 standardized WAN technology that specifies the physical and logical link layers of digital telecommunications channels using a
packet switching methodology
 Originally designed for transport across ISDN infrastructure, it may be used today in the context of many other network
interfaces
 Network providers commonly implement Frame Relay for voice (VoFR) and data as an encapsulation technique, used between
LANs over a WAN
 Each end-user gets a private line (or leased line) to a FR node
 FR network handles the transmission over a frequently-changing path transparent to all end-user extensively-used WAN
protocols
 less expensive than leased lines and that is one reason for its popularity
 extreme simplicity of configuring user equipment in a FR network offers another reason for FR’s popularity
 With the advent of Ethernet over fiber optics, MPLS, VPN and dedicated broadband services such as cable modem and DSL,
the end may loom for the Frame Relay protocol and encapsulation
 many rural areas remain lacking DSL and cable modem services. In such cases the least expensive type of non-dial-up
connection remains a 64-kbit/s frame-relay line

PPP
23

 a data link protocol commonly used in establishing a direct connection between two
networking nodes
 used over many types of physical networks including serial cable, phone line, trunk
line, cellular telephone, specialized radio links, and fiber optic links such as SONET
 also used over Internet access connections (now marketed as "broadband")
 ISPs have used PPP for customer dial-up access to the Internet, since IP packets
cannot be transmitted over a modem line on their own, without some data link
protocol
 Two encapsulated forms of PPP, PPPoE and PPPoA, are used most commonly by
Internet Service Providers (ISPs) to establish a DSL Internet service connection with
customers


Network Layer
24

 responsible for packet forwarding including routing through intermediate routers
 provides the functional and procedural means of transferring variable length data sequences from a source to a destination
host via one or more networks while maintaining the quality of service functions
 Functions of the network layer include:
 Connection model: connectionless communication
 Example:- IP is connectionless, in that a datagram can travel from a sender to a recipient without the recipient having to send
an acknowledgement
 Every host in the network must have a unique address that determines where it is. This address is normally assigned from a
hierarchical system, so you can be "Fred Murphy" to people in your house, "Fred Murphy, 1 Main Street" to Dubliners, or "Fred
Murphy, 1 Main Street, Dublin" to people in Ireland, or "Fred Murphy, 1 Main Street, Dublin, Ireland" to people anywhere in the
world. On the Internet, addresses are known as IP addresses
 Since many networks are partitioned into subnetworks and connect to other networks for wide-area communications, networks
use specialized hosts, called gateways or routers to forward packets between networks
 Ex: -IPv4, IPv6, ARP, ICMP, IPSec, IGMP, IPX, AppleTalk


IP
25

 IP is the primary protocol in the Internet Layer of the Internet Protocol Suite
and has the task of delivering packets from the source host to the
destination host solely based on the addresses.
 For this purpose, IP defines datagram structures that encapsulate the data
to be delivered
 also defines addressing methods that are used to label the datagram
source and destination
 connectionless
 The first major version of IP, Internet Protocol Version 4 (IPv4), is the
dominant protocol of the internet
 successor is Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6), which is increasing in use.

X.25
27

 an ITU-T standard protocol suite for packet switched
WAN communication
 X.25 WAN consists of packet-switching exchange (PSE)
nodes as the networking hardware, and leased lines,
plain old telephone service connections or ISDN
connections as physical links
 replaced by less complex protocols, especially the IP

Transport Layer
30

 provides end-to-end communication services for
applications within a layered architecture of
network components and protocols
 provides convenient services such as connection-
oriented data stream support, reliability, flow
control, and multiplexing
 Ex:-TCP UDP

TCP
31

 one of the two original components of the suite, complementing the
IP, and therefore the entire suite is commonly referred to as TCP/IP
 provides reliable, ordered delivery of a stream of octets from a
program on one computer to another program on another computer
 used by major Internet applications such as the WWW, email,
remote administration and file transfer
 Other applications, which do not require reliable data stream
service, may use the User Datagram Protocol (UDP), which provides
a datagram service that emphasizes reduced latency over reliability


Application Layer
32

 an abstraction layer reserved for communications
protocols and methods designed for process-to-process
communications across a IP computer network.
 Application layer protocols use the underlying transport
layer protocols to establish host-to-host connections.
 DHCP, DHCPv6, DNS, FTP, HTTP, IRC, MGCP, BGP ,NTP
,POP, RTP, RTSP, RIP, SIP, SMTP, SNMP, SSH, Telnet, SSL

FTP
33

 standard network protocol used to transfer files from one host or to
another host over a TCP-based network, such as the Internet
 FTP is built on a client-server architecture and uses separate control
and data connections between the client and the server
 FTP users may authenticate themselves using a clear-text sign-in
protocol, normally in the form of a username and password, but can
connect anonymously if the server is configured to allow it.
 For secure transmission that hides (encrypts) the username and
password, and encrypts the content, FTP is often secured with
SSL/TLS ("FTPS")

L2 switching vs. L3 Routing
46

 Until the destination is  Does not flood the
found the network is network
flooded
 VLAN reduces
unnecessary flooding


L2 switching
47

 Media Access Control (MAC) based
 VLAN based


L2 switch
48

• MAC learning table (forwarding table)
– MAC/VLAN <-> port
• VLAN table – identification/separation (used
for tagging/un tagging)
– VLAN <-> port
A VLAN is assigned to a port by the switch. This is not
dynamic. Need to provision.

Functions of a L2 Switch
49

 MAC learning (populating the MAC/VLAN table)
 Forwarding (uses MAC/VALN table)

 If a computer does not send traffic (silent), then all
the traffic coming to that computer come as
flooding (the switch learns the computers MAC by
the source MAC)

Broadcasting

MPLS
52

 Traffic is switched
 Control signal is routed
 mechanism in high-performance telecommunications networks that directs data from
one network node to the next based on short path labels rather than long network
addresses, avoiding complex lookups in a routing table
 labels identify virtual links (paths) between distant nodes rather than endpoints
 can encapsulate packets of various network protocols
 supports a range of access technologies, including T1/E1, ATM, Frame Relay & DSL

Data support via voice-grade modems
61

• To send data, it is converted into 4 kHz audio (modem)
• Data rate is determined by Shannon's capacity theorem (there is a maximum data rate (bps)
called the "capacity”, that can be reliably sent through the communications channel. The
capacity depends on the BW and SNR) (C) Anuradha Udunuwara

 Several variants
 Different encoding technologies -> different data
transmission rates

ISDN
64

 a set of communication standards for simultaneous digital
transmission of voice, video, data, and other network services over
the traditional circuits of the PSTN
 There are several kinds of access interfaces to ISDN defined as
Basic Rate Interface (BRI), Primary Rate Interface (PRI) and
Broadband ISDN (B-ISDN).
 ISDN is a circuit-switched telephone network system, which also

SMTP
Simple Mail Transport Protocol - These rules handle outgoing email and get your email from your
computer to your friend's service provider.

POP3
Post Office Protocol - These are the rules governing incoming email. It allows you to keep a set of
messages on a server that mail client can access and download to your computer. Once the email
is downloaded to your computer, it is usually deleted from the server.

IMAP
Internet Mail Access Protocol - This is a different set of rules governing incoming email. IMAP is
more sophisticated than POP3. It allows you to keep messages on a server that you can access
from multiple computers. With IMAP, you can use your mail client to access an email account from
home and Outlook to do this from work and still keep all your messages on the server.

intranets
82

 a computer network that uses IP technology to share information,
operational systems, or computing services within an organization
 Sometimes, refers only to the organization's internal website, but
may be a more extensive part of the organization's information
technology infrastructure
 may be composed of multiple LANs
 objective is to organize each individual's desktop with minimal cost,
time and effort to be more productive, cost efficient, timely, and
competitive


internet
83

 a network between organizations
 Internet vs. internet


extranet
84

 a computer network that allows controlled access from the outside,
for specific business or educational purposes
 In a business-to-business context, an extranet can be viewed as an
extension of an organization's intranet that is extended to users
outside the organization, usually partners, vendors, and suppliers, in
isolation from all other Internet users
 An extranet is similar to a DMZ in that it provides access to needed
services for channel partners, without granting access to an
organization's entire network

E-commerce
87

 type of industry where buying and selling of product or service is
conducted over electronic systems such as the Internet and other
computer networks
 E-commerce draws on such technologies as mobile commerce,
electronic funds transfer, supply chain management, Internet
marketing, online transaction processing, inventory management
systems & automated data collection systems
 Modern e-commerce typically uses the WWW at least at one point
in the transaction's life-cycle, although it may encompass a wider
range of technologies such as e-mail, mobile devices social media,
and telephones as well
