Computer Networks OBJECTIVES After reading this chapter, the reader should be able to: Understand the rationale for the existence of networks. Distinguish between the three types of networks: LANs, MANs, and WANs. Understand the OSI model and TCP/IP. List different connecting devices and the OSI layers in which each device operates. Understand client-server models. 6.1 NETWORKS, LARGE AND SMALL Network Computer network – A combination of computers connected through transmission media. LAN (Local Area Network) MAN (Metropolitan Area Network) WAN (Wide Area Network) Internetwork – (e.g. Internet) Networks can be connected using connecting device. Model and Protocol Model – the specification set by a standards organization as a guideline for designing networks. Protocol – a set of rules that controls the interaction of different devices in a network/internetwork. 6.2 OSI MODEL Note: The OSI (Open Systems Interconnection) model is a theoretical model that shows how any two different systems can communicate with each other. OSI Model – is a framework of 7 layers that gives network designers an idea of the functionality of each separate but related layer. Figure 6-1 The OSI model control information is added to the data in the form of headers or trailers. the header or trailer is dropped in each layer. Flow of data in the OSI model Figure 6-2 Functions of the Layers Physical 1. • transmit a bit stream over a physical medium. Data-Link 2. • • Organizes bits into logical units called frames. Node-to-node delivery Network 3. • Source-to-destination delivery of a packet. Transport 4. • Source-to-destination delivery of the entire message. Session 5. • Establishes, maintains, and synchronizes the dialog between communicating systems. Presentation 6. • Deals with the fact that different systems use different coding methods. Application 7. • Enables the user to access the network. 6.3 CATEGORIES OF NETWORKS Categories of networks Figure 6-3 LAN (Local Area Network) Allow resource sharing between computers. Computers Peripheral devices Transmission medium (e.g. cable) 3 types of topology Bus topology Star topology Ring topology LANs Figure 6-4 Hub – a device that facilitates connection LAN acts logically like a bus. Star – the dominant topology today. MAN Figure 6-5 MAN (Metropolitan Area Network) Uses services provided by a network service provider. (Tel. Company) Individual users’ computers Organizations’ LANs Many Tel. Company provide a popular MAN service called SMDS (Switched Multimegabit Data Services) Prior to SMDS's arrival in 1995, the only way to connect LANs was through a dedicated private line. WAN Figure 6-6 WAN (Wide Area Network) The connection of individual computers or LANs over a large area (country, world). User using a telephone line to connect to an ISP (Internet Service Provider) is using a WAN. Negotiates fee ISP Tel. company Figure 6-7 Connecting devices Repeater (L1) Regenerates the signal. Extends the physical length of a network. Figure 6-8 Note: Repeaters operate at the first layer of the OSI model. Bridge/Switch Bridge A traffic controller Divide a long bus into smaller segments so that each segment is independent trafficwise. Regenerate data Switch A sophisticated bridge with multiple interfaces. A station that needs to send a frame sends it directly to the switch. Bridge (L1-L2) Figure 6-9 Note: Bridges operate at the first two layers of the OSI model. Figure 6-10 Switch Router Connect LANs, MANs, and WANs. Routes a packet based on the logical address (network layer) of the packet. Connect two independent networks: LAN-WAN, LAN-MAN, WAN-WAN… V.S. Bridge filters a frame based on the physical address (datalink layer) of the frame. Connect two segments of a LAN or two LANs belonging to the same organization. Routers (L1-L3) in an internet Figure 6-11 Note: Routers operate at the first three layers of the OSI model.
