Data Networking Role, Components, and
Challenges
 Basic characteristics of communication
–Rules or agreements are 1st established
–Important information may need to be repeated
–Various modes of communication may impact the
effectiveness of getting the message across.

Among the protocols that govern successful human


communication are:
• An identified sender and receiver
• Agreed upon method of communicating (face-
to-face, telephone, letter, photograph)
• Common language and grammar
• Speed and timing of delivery
• Confirmation or acknowledgement
requirements

Data Networking Role, Components, and
Challenges
 Describe the various elements that
make up a network
–Devices
•These are used to
communicate with one
another
–Medium
•This is how the devices are
connected together
–Messages
•Information that travels
over the medium
–Rules
•Governs how messages
flow across network

Network Architecture Characteristics
 Describe how packet switching helps improve the
resiliency and fault tolerance of the Internet architecture

Networks must provide secure, predictable, measurable, and, at times, guaranteed


services. The packet-switched network architecture does not guarantee that all packets
that comprise a particular message will arrive on time, in their correct in order, or even

that they will arrive at all.

to meet user demand
–Hierarchical
–Common standards
–Common protocols

Network Architecture Characteristics
 Describe how to select the appropriate QoS strategy for a given type of traffic

Examples of priority decisions for an organization might include:


•Time-sensitive communication - increase priority for services like telephony or video distribution.
• Non time-sensitive communication - decrease priority for web page retrieval or e-mail
• High importance to organization - increase priority for production control or business transaction data.
• Undesirable communication - decrease priority or block unwanted activity, like peer-to-peer file sharing or live
entertainment.
