 Data Networks

Sharing data through the use of floppy disks is not an efficient

or cost-effective manner.

Businesses needed a solution that would successfully address

the following three problems:
• How to avoid duplication of equipment and resources
• How to communicate efficiently
• How to set up and manage a network

Businesses realized that networking technology could increase

productivity while saving money.

6
 Networking Devices

Equipment that connects directly to a network segment is

referred to as a device.

These devices are broken up into two classifications.

 End-user devices
 Network devices

End-user devices include computers, printers, scanners, and

other devices that provide services directly to the user.

Network devices include all the devices that connect the end-
user devices together to allow them to communicate.
7
 Network Interface Card

A network interface card (NIC) is a printed circuit board

that provides network communication capabilities to and
from a personal computer. Also called a LAN adapter.

10
 Router
Routers are used to connect networks together
Route packets of data from one network to another
Cisco became the de facto standard of routers because of their high-
quality router products
Routers, by default, break up a broadcast domain

11
 Network Topologies
Network topology defines the structure of the network.

One part of the topology definition is the physical topology,

which is the actual layout of the wire or media.

The other part is the logical topology,which defines how the

media is accessed by the hosts for sending data.

12
 Bus Topology
A bus topology uses a single backbone cable that is
terminated at both ends.

All the hosts connect directly to this backbone.

13
 Ring Topology
A ring topology connects one host to the next and the last
host to the first.

This creates a physical ring of cable.

14
 Star Topology
A star topology connects all cables to a central point of
concentration.

15
 Extended Star Topology
An extended star topology links individual stars together by
connecting the hubs and/or switches.This topology can extend
the scope and coverage of the network.

16
 Mesh Topology
A mesh topology is implemented to provide as much
protection as possible from interruption of service.
Each host has its own connections to all other hosts.
 Although the Internet has multiple paths to any one
location, it does not adopt the full mesh topology.

17
Physical and Logical Topology

18
 LANs, MANs, & WANs

One early solution was the creation of local-area network

(LAN) standards which provided an open set of guidelines for
creating network hardware and software, making equipment
from different companies compatible.

What was needed was a way for information to move

efficiently and quickly, not only within a company, but also
from one business to another.

The solution was the creation of metropolitan-area networks

(MANs) and wide-area networks (WANs).

 Virtual Private Network
A VPN is a private network that is constructed within a public network
infrastructure such as the global Internet. Using VPN, a telecommuter
can access the network of the company headquarters through the
Internet by building a secure tunnel between the telecommuter’s PC
and a VPN router in the headquarters.

 Institute of Electrical and Electronics
Engineers (IEEE) 802 Standards
 IEEE 802.1: Standards related to network management.

 IEEE 802.2: General standard for the data link layer in the OSI
Reference Model. The IEEE divides this layer into two sublayers --
the logical link control (LLC) layer and the media access control
(MAC) layer.

 IEEE 802.3: Defines the MAC layer for bus networks that use
CSMA/CD. This is the basis of the Ethernet standard.

 IEEE 802.4: Defines the MAC layer for bus networks that use a
token-passing mechanism (token bus networks).

 IEEE 802.5: Defines the MAC layer for token-ring networks.

 IEEE 802.6: Standard for Metropolitan Area Networks (MANs)

28
29
 Why do we need the OSI Model?

To address the problem of networks increasing in size and in number, the
International Organization for Standardization (ISO) researched many
network schemes and recognized that there was a need to create a network
model

This would help network builders implement networks that could

communicate and work together

ISO therefore, released the OSI reference model in 1984.

PDU - Formatted Data
 Half Duplex
• It uses only one wire pair with a digital signal running in
both directions on the wire.

• It also uses the CSMA/CD protocol to help prevent

collisions and to permit retransmitting if a collision does
occur.

• If a hub is attached to a switch, it must operate in half-

duplex mode because the end stations must be able to
detect collisions.

• Half-duplex Ethernet—typically 10BaseT—is only about 30

to 40 percent efficient because a large 10BaseT network
will usually only give you 3 to 4Mbps—at most.
37
 Full Duplex
In a network that uses twisted-pair cabling, one pair is used to carry the transmitted
signal from one node to the other node. A separate pair is used for the return or
received signal. It is possible for signals to pass through both pairs simultaneously.
The capability of communication in both directions at once is known as full duplex.

 Why Another Model?

Although the OSI reference model is universally recognized, the

historical and technical open standard of the Internet is
Transmission Control Protocol / Internet Protocol (TCP/IP).

The TCP/IP reference model and the TCP/IP protocol stack

make data communication possible between any two
computers, anywhere in the world, at nearly the speed of light.

The U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) created the TCP/IP

reference model because it wanted a network that could survive
any conditions, even a nuclear war. 79

 Windowing

 There are two window sizes—one set to 1 and one set to

3.
 When you’ve configured a window size of 1, the sending
machine waits for an acknowledgment for each data
segment it transmits before transmitting another
 If you’ve configured a window size of 3, it’s allowed to
transmit three data segments before an
acknowledgment is received.

94
 Flow Control
 Another function of the transport layer is to provide
optional flow control.

 Flow control is used to ensure that networking devices

don’t send too much information to the destination,
overflowing its receiving buffer space, and causing it to
drop the sent information

 The purpose of flow control is to ensure the destination

doesn't get overrun by too much information sent by the
source

 User Datagram Protocol (UDP)

User Datagram Protocol (UDP) is the connectionless transport protocol in

the TCP/IP protocol stack.

UDP is a simple protocol that exchanges datagrams, without

acknowledgments or guaranteed delivery. Error processing and
retransmission must be handled by higher layer protocols.

UDP is designed for applications that do not need to put sequences of

segments together.

The protocols that use UDP include:

• TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol)
• SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol)
• DHCP (Dynamic Host Control Protocol)
• DNS (Domain Name System)

(CIDR)
• Basically the method that ISPs (Internet Service
Providers) use to allocate an amount of
addresses to a company, a home
• Ex : 192.168.10.32/28
• The slash notation (/) means how many bits are
turned on (1s)

 Subnetting

Subnetting is logically dividing the network

by extending the 1’s used in SNM
Advantage
Can divide network in smaller parts
Restrict Broadcast traffic
Security
Simplified Administration

134
 Formula
 Number of subnets – 2x-2
Where X = number of bits borrowed

 Number of Hosts – 2y-2

Where y = number of 0’s

 Block Size = Total number of Address

Block Size = 256-Mask

135
 Subnetting
 Classful IP Addressing SNM are a set of 255’s and 0’s.
 In Binary it’s contiguous 1’s and 0’s.
 SNM cannot be any value as it won’t follow the rule of
contiguous 1’s and 0’s.
 Possible subnet mask values

 VLSM
• VLSM is a method of designating a different subnet
mask for the same network number on different subnets

• Can use a long mask on networks with few hosts and a

shorter mask on subnets with many hosts

• With VLSMs we can have different subnet masks for

different subnets.

187
 Variable Length Subnetting
 VLSM allows us to use one class C address to
design a networking scheme to meet the
following requirements:
 Bangalore 60 Hosts
 Mumbai 28 Hosts
 Sydney 12 Hosts
 Singapore 12 Hosts
 WAN 1 2 Hosts
 WAN 2 2 Hosts
 WAN 3 2 Hosts

 Summarization
• Summarization, also called route aggregation, allows
routing protocols to advertise many networks as one
address.
• The purpose of this is to reduce the size of routing tables
on routers to save memory
• Route summarization (also called route aggregation or
supernetting) can reduce the number of routes that a
router must maintain
• Route summarization is possible only when a proper
addressing plan is in place
• Route summarization is most effective within a
subnetted environment when the network addresses are
in contiguous blocks
