Hierarchical Network • Tree structure with a root • pro • No single point of failure • Divisional communications and processing
Mesh Network • Web structure • Usage • Public telephone system • Pro • Alternative communication route • Virtually fail-safe • Con • Line cost
Bus Network • Usage • High speed, short distance between nodes • Local area network • Pros • Independent between nodes • High reliability • Cons • Limited number of attached device • Hard to locate the problems
Ring Network • Usage • Nodes are relatively close together • Pros • Less attenuation • Error control • Network management • Cons • Failing of a node • Two opposite direction channels
Hybrid Networks • Usage • Connecting different networks • Pro • Communication between different networks • Con • Conversion device and costs
Network Ownership • Private networks • Public networks • Valued added networks
Private networks • Full control • Special needs • Expense
Public networks • Controlled by carriers • Regulated by government • Inexpensive
Valued Added Networks • Public network • Functions • Code translation • Speed conversion • Store message and delivery • Examples • Telex • SWIFT • SITA (airline) • IVAN (insurance)
Networks by Geography • Wide area network (WAN) • Metropolitan area network (MAN) • Local area network (LAN)
Wide Area Networks • Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) • Provided by carriers • Inexpensive • High quality service for infrequent users
Metropolitan Area Networks • IEEE 802.6 • Distance up to 30 miles • High bandwidth for data, voice, and video • T1, T3, or fiber optic cable • Private own or dark fiber supplied by MAN provider
Network Transmission Types • Circuit Switching • Packet data networks (PDNs) • Frame relay • Asynchronous transfer mode: ATM (Cell relay)
Circuit Switching • Temporarily Dedicated communications line between two stations for transmission • Efficient for constant voice and video transmission • Inefficient for non-constant data transmission
Packet Data networks (PDNs) - I • Packet • Less than 1,000 bytes • PAD (packet assembly/disassembly) • Address and control fields for error checking • Connection types • Switched virtual circuit: dial-in (switched) • Permanent virtual (leased) circuit: heavy & frequent traffic • Datagram: short message, no error checking
Packet Data networks (PDNs) - II • Standard • ITU-T’s X.25 • Between terminal and PDN on public network • ITU-T’s X.75 • Interface between two PDNs • Examples • USA: APARANET, Telenet, Tymnet, General Electric Information Services (GEIS)
Packet Data networks (PDNs) - III • Characteristics • Reliable service • Nationwide service • Lower error rates • Variety of transmission speeds • Cost-effectiveness
Frame Relay • Acknowledge only by final node • Benefits • Variable-length frames (1- 64,000 bytes) • Reduce overhead • More efficient transmission • Problems • Circuit congestion • Committed information rate (CIR) & port speed for service guarantee & discarding frames
ATM (Cell-Relay) • Asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) • Cells : fixed length packets of 53 bytes • 45Mbps (T3) or higher speeds • Pros • High throughput, low delay, transparency, flexibility, and high capacity • Con • Expensive
ATM Services • Realtime service • Constant bit rate (CBR) for telephone and videoconference • Realtime variable bit rate (rt-VBR) for compressed video • Non-realtime service • Non-realtime variable bit rate (nrt-VBR) for airline reservation or financial transaction • Available bit rate (ABR) for LAN-to-LAN • Unspecified bit rate (UBR) for TCP-based traffic
Routing Message • Connection-oriented routing & connection less routing • Broadcast routing • Centralized routing • Distributed routing • Static and dynamic routing
Broadcasting Routing • CSMA/CD • Pros and cons • Simplest • For small network • Not for moderate to heavy traffic
Centralized Routing • Star or hierarchical networks • IBM’s SNA networks • Using static routing table in one central computer • Pros and cons • Simple • Potential performance bottleneck • Single point of failure
Distributed Routing • Routing tables on several nodes • Pros and cons • No single point of failure • Routing table update problem • Complicated to implement
Static and Dynamic Routing • Static routing • Predetermined route • Simple but inflexible • Dynamic routing • Use routing algorithms to evaluate traffic volumes, error rates, and other conditions for the best path • Flexible but high overhead and complicated to implement
