Datagram Network • Two packets of the same user pair can travel along different routes.
Packets contain full Source, Destination addresses. • Requires no connection setup.
Datagram A, B, C, D, E – Users
Virtual Circuit In a virtual circuit network. • Virtual Circuit(connection setup) is required.
All packets of the same virtual circuit travel along the same path. • Packet sequencing is guaranteed.
Packets contain short Virtual Circuit Id. (VCI). • First packet has large delay.
Terminal Handling • For many applications cost of communication lines exceeds the cost of equipment connected by those lines.
Here we have a terminal controller whichaccepts many input and gives a single output.
Types of configurations • Multidrop • Point to point.
Multidrop • Here all the terminals are wired onto the same multidrop line.
Point to point • Here each terminal has its own point-to- point line to the controller.
Polling • Each terminal has tokeep quiet until the controller says “Go ahead”.
Details of polling differ for the multidrop controller and point-to-point controller.
Multidrop Two methods are common 1. Roll-call polling 2. Hub polling.
Roll-call polling • Controller sends a message to each terminal in turn, inquiring whether or not terminal has anything to say.
These polling messages contain siteaddress or station address identifying which terminal is being addressed. • Each terminal knows its own address and only responds to its own polls, although it receives all the polls.
Hub polling • Here the controller polls the furthest terminal from it.
Point-to-point(Star) • Often uses roll-call polling • It has no site address.
Multiplexer • A multiplexer is a device that accepts input from a collection of lines in some static, predetermined sequence, and outputs the data onto a single output line in the same sequence.
If each terminal operates at 1200 bps, the output line must be 4 X 1200 = 4800 bps.
Routing • Routing is the process of selecting paths in a network.
Step 3 - From 2 determine the next route. • But the distance between nodes1 and 3 is only 9
Shortest route is 1-3-6-5 Distance - 20
