    This document provides an overview of data communications and computer networks. It introduces the fundamentals of communication and defines data communications. It describes different types of networks including local area networks (LANs), wide area networks (WANs), and metropolitan area networks (MANs). It also provides an overview of the Internet, its evolution from ARPANET, and standardization of the TCP/IP protocols.

    Data and Computer

    Communications
    Chapter 1 Data Communications,
    Data Networks, and the Internet
    Eighth Edition
    by William Stallings

    Data Communications, Data


    Networks, and the Internet
    The

    fundamental problem of
    communication is that of reproducing at
    one point either exactly or approximately a
    message selected at another point - The
    Mathematical Theory of Communication,
    Claude Shannon

    ISO/OSI Model

    Comparison between OSI and


    TCP/IP

    A Communications Model

    Data Communications Model

    Transmission Medium
    selection

    internal use entirely up to business


    long-distance links made by carrier

    rapid

    is a basic choice

    technology advances change mix

    fiber optic
    wireless

    transmission

    costs still high


    hence interest in efficiency improvements

    Networking
    growth

    of number & power of computers is


    driving need for interconnection
    also seeing rapid integration of voice,
    data, image & video technologies
    two broad categories of communications
    networks:

    Local Area Network (LAN)


    Wide Area Network (WAN)

    Wide Area Networks


    span

    a large geographical area


    cross public rights of way
    rely in part on common carrier circuits
    alternative technologies used include:

    circuit switching
    packet switching
    frame relay
    Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM)

    Circuit Switching
    uses

    a dedicated communications path


    established for duration of conversation
    comprising a sequence of physical links
    with a dedicated logical channel
    eg. telephone network

    Packet Switching
    data

    sent out of sequence


    small chunks (packets) of data at a time
    packets passed from node to node
    between source and destination
    used for terminal to computer and
    computer to computer communications

    Local Area Networks


    smaller

    scope

    Building or small campus

    usually

    owned by same organization as


    attached devices
    data rates much higher
    switched LANs, eg Ethernet
    wireless LANs

    Metropolitan Area Networks


    MAN
    middle

    ground between LAN and WAN


    private or public network
    high speed
    large area

    The Internet
    Internet

    evolved from ARPANET

    first operational packet network


    applied to tactical radio & satellite nets also
    had a need for interoperability
    led to standardized TCP/IP protocols

    Internet Elements

    Internet Architecture

    Example Configuration

    Summary
    introduced

    data communications needs


    communications model
    defined data communications
    overview of networks
    introduce Internet
