Individual blocks containing addressing information indicate both their origination point and their final destination. Using this embedded information, these message blocks, called packets, can be sent through the network along various paths, and can be reassembled into the original message upon reaching their destination. No reserved circuit is built between sender and receiver. packets that may be lost in the advent of a failure can be retransmitted to the destination along a different path 20 Packet Switched Connectionless Networks 21 Scalable Network Architecture  Internet is able to expand at the rate that it is, without seriously impacting the performance experienced by individual users, is a function of the design of the protocols and underlying technologies on which it is built  New protocols and addressing structures are under development to meet the increasing rate at which Internet applications and services are being added. 22 Quality Services  QoS mechanisms enable the establishment of queue management strategies that enforce priorities for different classifications of application data. Priority 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. 23 Trends in Network  Major trends that are contributing to the future shape of complex information networks:  Increasing number of mobile users  Increase of network capable devices (PDA, VoIP , gaming systems )  Expanding range of services 24  Report 3  State the main components of the communication systems and computer network (give an example for each components)  What is meant by converged network?  Write a short note about the Characteristics of the Network architectures Due date 1 week 25  Network Types  Networks can classified according to  1- Area (LAN-MAN-WAN)  2- Sharing Information (P2P – Server based)  3- Data Transfer mode (Packet switch – Circuit Switch)  4- Topology (Star – Bus- Ring – Tree) 26  Classifications of Networks  According to covered area: –LAN. –MAN. –WAN.  According to Sharing of Information: –Client/Server. –P2P.  According to network topology: –Bus, Star, Ring, Extended Star, Mesh etc.  According to Switching: –Circuit switch and Packet switch ITE PC v4.0 Chapter 1 © 2007 Cisco Systems, Inc.

There are four basic topologies possible: mesh, star, bus and ring. 45 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. Network Types Based on Area Networks infrastructures can vary greatly in terms of: The size of the area covered The number of users connected The number and types of services available LAN (Local Area Network):  It is a group of network components that work within small area.  It characterized by high data speeds (up to 10Gbps) using: MAN (Metropolitan Area Network):  It is a group of LANs that are interconnected within small area.  It characterized by very high data speeds (up to 40Gbps) WAN (Wide Area Network):  It is a group of LANs that are interconnected within large area  It characterized by slow data speeds (up to 155Mbps & 622Mbps using: analog dial-up, digital dial-up (ISDN), leased lines, X.25, DSL, Frame-Relay & ATM. Network Types Based on Area (2)  Personal Area Network ( PAN ) A personal area network (PAN) is a computer network used for communication among computer devices (including telephones and personal digital assistants) close to one person..  Campus Area Network CAN A network that connects two or more LANs but that is limited to a specific and contiguous geographical area such as a college campus, industrial complex, or a military base. Global Area Network GAN Network Types Based on Area (3) The internet is defined as a  A global mesh of interconnected networks (internetworks) meets these human communication needs The Internet is created by the interconnection of networks belonging to Internet Service Providers (ISPs) Network Types based on Sharing of information and resources  end systems (hosts): run application programs e.g. Web, email at “edge of network” peer-peer  client/server model  client host requests, receives service from always-on server  e.g. Web browser/server; email client/server client/server  peer-peer model:  minimal (or no) use of dedicated servers  e.g. Skype, BitTorrent 50 Network Types based on Sharing of information and resources Consideration Peer-to-Peer Network Server-Based Network Size Good for 10 or fewer Limited only by server and computers network hardware Security Security established by the Extensive and consistent user of each computer resource and user security Administration Individual users responsible Centrally located for network for their own administration; control; requires at least one no full-time administrator knowledgeable administrator necessary Network Types based on data Transfer Circuit Switching A B Source Destination  circuit switched = telephone  A call has three phases: 1. Establish circuit from end-to-end (“dialing”), 2. Communicate, 3. Close circuit (“tear down”).  Originally, a circuit was an end-to-end physical wire.  Nowadays, a circuit is like a virtual private wire: each call has its own private, guaranteed data rate from end-to-end. 52 Network Types based on data Transfer Circuit Switching Telephone Network Each phone call is allocated 64kb/s. So, a 2.5Gb/s trunk line can carry about 39,000 calls. Destination Source “Callee” “Caller” Central Office Central “C.O.” Office “C.O.” Trunk Exchange 53  Packet Switching A B R2 Source R1 Destination R3 R4  It’s the method used by the Internet.  Each packet is individually routed packet-by-packet, using the router’s local routing table.  The routers maintain no per-flow state.  Different packets may take different paths.  Several packets may arrive for the same output link at the same time, therefore a packet switch has buffers. 54  Report 5  Define the main characteristics of the following network types (LAN-MAN-WAN- Internet)  Specify why the portioning of the message within the network is bad solution?  Network can be classified based on may parameters; State these parameters, for each specify the different types based on such parameter Due date 1 week 55  Network Reference Models  A framework (guideline) for network implementation and troubleshooting.  Divides complex functions into simpler components.  Importance of reference model: –Vendor interoperability “standardization”. –Better understanding of data transfer  Reference model types : OSI (Open System Interconnection ). TCP/IP (DOD Model) ITE PC v4.0 Chapter 1 © 2007 Cisco Systems, Inc.
