Categories of networks
Summary
• The basic terms and concepts related to networking.
• The recent trend that more and more people are now using
information and communication technologies. This trend is affecting
the development of data communications and computer networks
• The basic model for data communication is important
• The different types of networks.
1.2 Network Models: OSI and TCP layer
By the end of this section, you should be able to:
1. Explain the functionalities of the OSI seven (7) layers.
2. Describe the TCP/IP model.
3. Discuss the TCP/IP protocol architecture.
1.2 Covers from page 36 until page 64
• OSI Model and TCP/IP model
• TCP/IP Protocols
OSI Layer Mnemonic TCP/IP Model PDU What are they responsible for?
1 Application Away • for providing different services to the
application
2 Presentation Pizza • for converting the data into Binary form
3 Session Sausage Application Data • establishing the process-to-process
communication between the hosts in the
network (session for data sending and
receiving)
4 Transport Throw Transport Segment • end-to-end delivers of messages b/w the
network hos
5 Network Not Network Packet • for routing information from one
network device to another
• for delivery of individual packet from
host to the destination.
6 Data link Do Data link Frame • for moving frames from one source to
next destination.
7 Physical Please Physical Bit • for movement for individual bit from
source to destination
• translating row bit stream over the
physical cable
• defines the medium/hardware (cables)
TCP/IP
• The TCP/IP protocol suite contains two specialised protocols: TCP
(Transmission Control Protocol) and IP (Internet Protocol).
• A few protocols that have been standardised to operate on top of TCP.
• FTP - console-based protocol that allows users to download files from remote
server or host
• SMTP - a protocol that defines standards in transmission of emails from one
mail server to other mail servers.
• HTTP - to transfer or convey information on Internet
• Telnet - provides the facilities for users to log on to remote servers and as if
the user is working in front of the server
1.3 Data signals and transmission media
By the end of this section, you should be able to:
• Distinguish between signal and data.
• Describe various digital signal encoding methods.
• Discuss types of transmission media and its application area.
1.3 Covers from page 65 until page 106
• Data and signals
• Signal encoding techniques
• Transmission media
Data and Signal
Data Signal
Data can be analog or digital Signals can be analog or digital
To be transmitted, data must be
transformed to be electromagnetic
signals
Data and signal are completely different things. Data is raw data, or
unprocessed data; Signal, is used to transfer data from one point to another
Digital data, Digital signal
• Nonreturn to Zero (NRZ)
• Nonreturn to Zero-Level (NRZ-L)
• Nonreturn to Zero Inverted (NRZI)
• Multilevel Binary
• Bipolar-AMI
• Pseudoternary
• Biphase
• Manchester
• Differential Manchester
