DATA COMMUNICATIONS
The term telecommunication means communication at a
distance. The word data refers to information presented
in whatever form is agreed upon by the parties creating
and using the data. Data communications are the
exchange of data between two devices via some form of
transmission medium such as a wire cable.

1.11
Five components of data communication

1.12
Data flow (simplex, half-duplex, and full-duplex)

1.13
Networks
 A network is set of devices (nodes) connected
by communication links.
 A node / host / end system can be a
computer, printer, or any other device capable
of sending and/or receiving data generated
by other nodes on the network.
 A link is a communication pathway that
transfers data from one device to another
 Topology: Arrangement of nodes in a network
specify topology.
Figure Types of connections: point-to-point and multipoint
Categories of topology
Figure A fully connected mesh topology (five devices)

n = 5, 10 links
n(n-1)/2
Mesh Topology
 Each device connected to every other device
 Advantages
 Robustness
 Secure
 Disadvantages
 Expensive
 Difficult to install
 Difficult to manage
Figure A star topology connecting four stations
Star Topology
 All computers attach to central point
 The devices are not directly linked to one
another
 Advantages
 Ease of installation
 Inexpensive (less than mesh)
 Robustness
 Disadvantages
 Hub fails, whole network down
 Costly than bus
Figure A bus topology connecting three stations
Bus Topology
 Single cable connect all computers
 Each computer has connector to shared cable
 Cable must end with a terminator
 Advantages
 Inexpensive
 Works well for small networks
 Disadvantages
 Cable break, whole network down
 Limited number of devices can be attached
Figure A ring topology connecting four stations
Ring Topology
 Each device connected to two devices
(immediate neighbors)
 The signal is passed along the ring in one
direction
 Advantages
 Easy to install and reconfigure
 Inexpensive (less than mesh)
 Disadvantages
 Break in a ring disables the whole network
 Unidirectional
