Home Network Categories
•
•
•
•
•
Computers (desktop PC, PDA, shared peripherals)
Entertainment (TV, DVD, VCR, camera, stereo, MP3)
Telecomm (telephone, cell phone, intercom, fax)
Appliances (microwave, fridge, clock, furnace, airco)

Network Hardware
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Transmission medium
Transceivers: transmitters and receivers on the
point-to-point connections
Multiplexers, demultiplexers
Packet and circuit switches
Bridges
Routers
Servers, gateways, management units
Transmission Medium
•
•
•
•
Air: different frequency bands
Wires: twisted pairs
Coaxial cables
Optical fibers
Transceivers
•
•
•
Transmitters perform modulation and coding
to provide efficient and reliable
communication.
Receivers perform the reverse operations.
Depending on the medium transceivers are
electronic devices, antenas, or lasers and
photodiodes.
Multiplexers and Demultiplexers
•
•
Multiplexers receive multiple lower bit-rate
streams of data and according to some rule
transmit the higher bit-rate stream of data.
Demultiplexers do the opposite.
Circuit and Packet Switches
•
•
•
•
It does not make sense to connect every user
with every other user in the network.
Circuit and packet switches connect multiple
inputs to multiple outputs.
In circuit switches, the configuration pattern
changes on a slow time scale.
In packet switches, the configuration changes
on a packet-per-packet basis.
Servers, Gateways, etc.
•
•
Servers store various kinds of information for
users, for example DNS databases, e-mails,
web pages and provide it to the users.
Gateways convert data format, and negotiate
QoS with the network.

connection-oriented network.
Services to Protocols Relationship
The relationship between a service and a protocol.
Reference Models with Layers
•
•
•
A layer should have well defined function
Function of a layer should be
internatinationally standardized
The information flow between interfaces
should be minimized
Reference Models
•
•
•
The OSI reference model
The TCP/IP reference model
Hybrid reference model
Reference Models

reference
model.

Concepts central to the OSI model

Interfaces
Protocols
Concept of TCP/IP
• Implementation of the required
functionality with three layers
A Critique of the OSI Model and Protocols
Why OSI did not take over the world
• Bad timing
• Bad technology
• Bad implementations
• Bad politics
Bad Timing
The apocalypse of the two elephants.
A Critique of the TCP/IP Reference Model
Problems:
• Service, interface, and protocol not distinguished
• Not a general model
• Host-to-network “layer” not really a layer
• No mention of physical and data link layers
• Minor protocols deeply entrenched, hard to replace
Hybrid Model

Force (IRTF) and Internet Engineering Task
Force.
