  1. Network Fundamentals Chapter 1

  2. Agenda • Introduction to Networking • Fundamental Network Characteristics • Type and Sizes of Networks • Network Performance issues and Concepts • Network Standard and Standard Organizations

  3. Network Structure • Define the elements of communication • 3 common elements of communication • Message source • The channel • Message destination • Define a network • Data or information networks capable of carrying many different types of communications

  4. Introduction to NetworkingWhat Is Networking? • A network is a set of hardware devices connected together, either physically or logically to allow them to exchange information.

  5. The Advantages (Benefits) of Networking • Connectivity and Communication • Data, Hardware Sharing • Internet Access • Data Security and Management • Performance Enhancement and Balancing • Entertainment

  6. The Disadvantages (Costs) of Networking • Network Hardware, Software and Setup Costs • Hardware and Software Management and Administration Costs • Undesirable Sharing • Illegal or Undesirable Behavior • Data Security Concerns

  7. Network Structure • Define the components of a network • Network components • Hardware • Software

  8. Network Structure • End Devices and their Role in the Network • End devices form interface with human network & communications network • Role of end devices: • Client • Server • Both client and server

  9. Network Structure • Identify the role of an intermediary device in a data network and be able to contrast that role with the role of an end device • Role of an intermediary device • Provides connectivity and ensures data flows across network

  10. Network Structure • Define network media and criteria for making a network media choice • Network media – this is the channel over which a message travels

  11. Fundamental Network Characteristics • Networking Layers • Networking technologies are most often compartmentalized in this manner by dividing their functions into layers, each of which contains hardware and/or software elements. • Networking Models • Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) • Networking Architectures • An architecture is essentially a set of rules that describes the function of some portion of the hardware and software that constitute a stack of layers.

  12. Protocols • A networking protocol defines a set of rules, algorithms, messages and other mechanisms that enable software and hardware in networked devices to communicate effectively. A protocol usually describes a means for communication between corresponding entities at the same OSI Reference Model layer in two or more devices.

  13. Circuit Switching

  14. Packet Switching

  15. Connection-Oriented • A connection-oriented protocol is one where a logical connection is first established between devices prior to data being sent.

  16. Connectionless • In a connectionless protocol, data is just sent without a connection being created.

  17. Connection-Oriented and Connectionless Protocols in TCP/IP • TCP/IP, it has two main protocols that operate at the transport layer of the OSI Reference Model. One is the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP), which is connection-oriented; the other, the User Datagram Protocol (UDP), is connectionless.

  18. Messages: Packets, Frames, Datagrams and Cells • Common Names For Messages • Packet/Datagram • Frame/Cell • Protocol Data Unit (PDU) and Service Data Unit (SDU)

  19. Message Formatting: Headers, Payloads and Footers • Fundamental Message Elements • Header • Data • Footer

  20. Message Addressing and Transmission Methods: • Message Transmission Methods • Unicast Messages • Broadcast Messages • Multicast Messages

  21. Transmission Methods

  22. Message Addressing Methods • Unicast Addressing • Broadcast Addressing • Multicast Addressing

  23. Types and Sizes of Networks • Local Area Networks (LANs) • Wireless Local Area Networks (Wireless LANs or WLANs): • Wide Area Networks (WANs) • Campus Area Networks (CANs): • Metropolitan Area Networks (MANs): • WMANs; IEEE 802.16 is an example of a WMAN standard • Personal Area Networks (PANs)

  24. Network Types • Define Local Area Networks (LANs) • A network serving a home, building or campus is considered a Local Area Network (LAN)

  25. Network Types • Define Wide Area Networks (WANs) • LANs separated by geographic distance are connected by a network known as a Wide Area Network (WAN)

  26. Network Types • Define the Internet • The internet is defined as a global mesh of interconnected networks

  27. Common Terms Describing the Size of Networks • Network • Sub-network (Subnet) • Segment (Network Segment) • Collision Domain • Broadcast Domain • Internetwork (or Internet)

  28. Network Performance Issues and Concepts • Balancing Network Performance with Key Non-Performance Characteristics • Design and Implementation Cost: • Quality • Standardization • Reliability • Expandability and Upgradability • Ease of Administration and Maintenance • Premises and Utility issues

  29. Performance Measurements • Speed • Bandwidth • Throughput • Latency

  30. Theoretical and Real-World Throughput, and Factors Affecting Network Performance • Normal Network Overhead • External Performance Limiters • Network Configuration Problems • The Effect of Asymmetry

  31. Basic Communication Modes of Operation • Simplex Operation • Half-Duplex Operation • Full-Duplex Operation

  32. Quality of Service (QoS) • Bandwidth Reservation • Latency Management: • Traffic Prioritization • Traffic Shaping • Network Congestion Avoidance

  33. Network Standards • Proprietary Standards • Open Standards • De Facto Standards

  34.
