TK3133 Computer Network Technology LAN Technology
Introduction • LAN concept and technology • Importance of sharing in LAN • Basic Network topology • Hardware addressing and frame type identification
Network Category • Network connection type : • Point to Point or Mesh network • Sharing communication lines
Point to point communication • Original line configuration communication system • Computer connected to Communication lines with each connected to two computers in forming mesh network or point to point • Allow flexibility in hardware communication, packet formatting and etc. • Provide security since communication lines are not shared
Point to point connection • Number of wires increase when number of computer increases • Exp: 2,3,4 computer connection
Point to point connection • Adding a computer (Nth computer) require N-1 new connections • Number of connection = (N2 – N)/2 • Limitation : expensive and too many lines
Sharing communication channels • Differ with long distance network • Prevent weaknesses in point to point : expensive, dedicated and overlapping • Introducing LAN – sharing a communication channel (cable) by several computers
LAN • Reducing number of communication channels • LAN developed in early 1970 • Main idea – reducing number of channels by sharing connection among computers • But not suitable for long distance because of the coordination problem
LAN • LAN technology reducing the cost by reducing number of connection • But connected computers have to compete for using shared connection • Using principle of locality of reference to acquire computer communication pattern.
Broadcasting network • LAN is a broadcasting network • Data packet that sent by a station will be transmitted to all stations • LAN topology • Network can be categorized according to the shape • 3 popular topologies • Star, ring and bus
Star topology • All computers are connected to a middle point called hub • Hub as device receives data packet and send it to destination
Star topology • In practice, cable fixing can be parallel (or not) with computer
Star topology • consequence :-
Ring topology • Computers are connected in closed coil. • First host will send data to the second host . Second host will send the data to the third host and so is for subsequent host. • Short connection cable from computer to the ring
Ring topology • A computer connected to another two computers.
Bus topology • A cable connected to all computers • A computer has a connector to the shared cable • Computers should synchronized and allow only a computer send data at a time.
Bus topology • A cable connected to many computers
Various topology • Each topology has its own advantages and disadvantages • Selection depends on wiring schema
Exp. of LAN Bus- Ethernet • Ethernet is the most popular LAN network access control • Developed by Xerox in the middle of 70s – maintain by IEEE • Using bus topology • A cable • Connect various computers
LAN- Ethernet • A Ethernet cable is called segment • Up to 500m lenght • Transmission rate is 10Mbps, 100Mbps (Fast Ethernet) and 1Gbps (Gigabit Ethernet) • Using Manchester encoding signal modulation
Manchester encoding (a) Binary encoding, (b) Manchester encoding, (c) Differential Manchester encoding.
LAN- Ethernet operation • A computer send data at a time • Signal is modulated carrier that transmitted from sender into two direction along the segment
Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Detection CSMA/CD • There in no central control management when computer send to ether • use CSMA to coordinate transmission among connected computers • Carrier sense: station listen to channel before sending • Collision Detection: station can decide whether there is frame clash through listening to the channel while transmitting
CSMA/CD - IEEE 802.3 • 802.3 standard • 802.3 basic is 10-Mbps “Ethernet”
Wireless LAN 802.11 and CSMA/CA • Operating at 11Mbps using frequency in domain 2.4 GHz • Avoiding clash by using CSMA with Collision Avoidance
LocalTalk • LAN technology that use bus topology • Interface include Macintosh computer • Low-cost, easy to fix and connect • use CSMA/CD
Token Bus - IEEE 802.4 • Disadvantage because there is clash – Choose a technique that avoid clash • Token concept – bus and ring • Only sender that receives token is allowed to send frame • After sending, pass the token
Token Bus • Fix the whose turn after this to receive the token for equal access
Token Ring- IEEE 802.5 (IBM Token Ring) • Operating at 4 and 16 Mbps • No bus, only nodes and lines • Use token transmission to synchronize access to the ring • Each node sends frame following clock rotation by getting the token first
FDDI • Fiber Distributed Data Interconnect (FDDI) is a ring technology • use fiber optic between station • Tansmission at the rate of 100Mbps • Use a pair of fiber to create two coils with a centre • As a back-up if there is any damage
FDDI • Using flow in two direction
ATM – Star network • Asynchronous Transfer Mode technology that contain packet switch that connect to computers • ATM switch form hub in which computer connected in star topology • data from sender flow thorough switch to destinations
ATM – Star Network • Transmission rate is over 100Mbps • using fiber optic to connect computer to switch • Each connection has 2 fiber
Communication in LAN • Technique how to send message through LAN medium to specific computer destination • Sender computer uses hardware address in frame to identify direction to destination • Sender also identify type of data that brought in the frame
Identify destination • Data is sent through the shared network reach all computers that connected to it • Hardware interface trace the frame sent and extract frame from medium • But many application only want data to be sent to destination and not all computers
Hardware addressing • Many network technology has a hardware addressing schema that identify particular station or computer • Each station is assigned to a numeric hardware address or unique physical address • Sender will insert hardware address to each frame that sent from source and destination. • Only station that recognized from frame receive copy of the frame
LAN hardware and packet filtering • LAN Hardware Organization and computer
Hardware address Format • numeric value • Size is selected according to specific network technology • Length is from 1 to 6 bytes • unique in a LAN • static, dynamic and configurable
Frame Format and Frame Head • LAN standard technology define frame format according to the network technology\ • general format : • Head has address and additional information (in fixed size field). • Data area can be in various size
Example of frame format • Ethernet frame format
Part 2- Introduction • Interface card • Why need different card • What is transceiver? • LAN wired schema • Logical and physical topology • How to improve LAN?
LAN speed and computer • data transmission speed of LAN is faster compared to CPU • LAN speed is not dependent to any processor speed • Allow mix system on it • New computer can be connected without influencing LAN speed
Network hardware interface • Computer uses special hardware to network connection • Network Interface card (NIC) that understand electrical signal use on network, rate in which the data received and sent as well as frame detail • Connector to computer receive cable to be connected to physical network
NIC and network hardware • NIC is built for only one type of physical network • Ethernet interface cannot be used with Token Ring • However, certain NIC can be used with other hardware similar to • thick, thin and 10BaseT Ethernet • 10Mbps and 100Mbps Ethernet
Connection between NIC and physical network • 2 methods :- • NIC is directly connected to medium • Cable from NIC connect to additional circuit that connected to medium • Ethernet wiring method • Standard 10Base5 • standard 10Base2 • standard 10BaseT
10Base5 - Thick Ethernet • Use ether cable • AUI cable (drop cable) from NIC to transceiver • AUI cable carry digital signal from NIC to transceiver • Transceiver generate analog signal to ether cable
10Base5 - Thick Ethernet • A AUI cable connected computer to transceiver
