Computer Networks

Component Names
Component Application, or app, user Host, or end-system, edge device, node, source, sink Router, or switch, node, hub, intermediate system Link, or channel Function Uses the network Supports apps Relays messages between links Connects nodes Example Skype, iTunes, Amazon Laptop, mobile, desktop Access point, cable/DSL modem Wires, wireless

Computer Networks

Types of Links
Full-duplex
Bidirectional

Half-duplex
Bidirectional

Simplex
unidirectional
Computer Networks 6

Wireless Links
Message is broadcast
Received by all nodes in range Not a good fit with our model

Computer Networks

Wireless Links (2)


Often show logical links
Not all possible connectivity

Computer Networks

A Small Network
Connect a couple of computers

Next, a large network
