Basic Communications
Overview of
communication technology.
Communications
Electronically exchanging data or
information.
Voice interactive communication
Data large volume batch transmissions
Image encoded graphics
Video streaming media
Telecommunications
History
Pre 1984
Local and long distance monopoly
1984 AT&T settlement
Intense long distance competition
1996 Telecommunications Act
Local access competition

Telephone Changes
Rapidly decreasing long distance rates
Value added telephone services
Cellular access
Flat rate long distance?
Data and voice convergence.

(layer 2)
Ethernet
open standard, cheap, most common
Token Ring

expensive
Others
Network Interface Cards
Build, send out and accept frames
Usually a daughter board on PC
Must match LAN and CPU
Require drivers to operate

Protocols for
internetworking.
Two major types
Packet switching (or datagram)
Usually layers 3 and 4
Circuit switching
Usually layers 1 and/or 2
Packet switching or
Datagram Protocols
Best effort
Frames take individual routes
Packet assembly devices needed

IP
Best Effort
Addressing
Variable packet lengths (1500 bytes or
less)
IPv4 vs IPv6
Frame and Header
TCP and UDP
Transmission Control
Protocol
Connection oriented
Assures that packets
arrive in order and
that they are correct.
User Datagram Protocol
Connectionless
Sends packets out
without confirming
that they arrive
Ethernet/TCP/IP Header
Structure
Circuit Protocols
All packets take the same route
No packet assembly device to reorder
packets
Normally layer 2 connection
May be permanent or switched
Allow guaranteed service quality levels
May be used to carry datagram protocols

Service
Digital Subscriber Lines
DSL uses packet switching technology
that operates independent of the voice
telephone system, allowing the telephone
companies to provide the service and not
lock up circuits for long calls.

Client/Server Architecture
An architecture in which the client
(personal computer or workstation) is the
requesting machine and the server is the
supplying machine, both of which are
connected via a network.
