Living in a Network Centric World Network Fundamentals – Chapter 1
Objectives • Describe the role of data networking in the human network. • Identify the key components of any data network. • Identify the opportunities and challenges posed by converged networks. • Describe the characteristics of network architectures: fault tolerance, scalability, quality of service and security.
How Networks Impact Daily Life • The benefits of instantaneous communication and how it supports and improves our lives
Data Networking Role, Components, and Challenges • Basic characteristics of communication • Rules or agreements are 1st established • Important information may need to be repeated • Various modes of communication may impact the effectiveness of getting the message across
Data Networking Role, Components, and Challenges • The role of data networking in communications
Data Networking Role, Components, and Challenges • The various elements that make up a network • Devices • These are used to communicate with one another • Medium • This is how the devices are connected together • Messages • Information that travels over the medium • Rules • Governs how messages flow across network
Data Networking Role, Components, and Challenges • The role of converged networks in communications • Converged network • A type of network that can carry voice, video & data over the same network
Network Architecture Characteristics • Four characteristics that are addressed by network architecture design • Fault tolerance • Scalability • Quality of service • Security
Network Architecture Characteristics • How packet switching helps improve the resiliency and fault tolerance of the Internet architecture
Network Architecture Characteristics • Characteristics of the Internet that help it scale to meet user demand • Hierarchical • Common standards • Common protocols
Network Architecture Characteristics • The factors that necessitate Quality of Service and the mechanisms necessary to ensure it
Network Architecture Characteristics • How QOS mechanisms work to ensure quality of service for applications that require it
Network Architecture Characteristics • How to select the appropriate QOS strategy for a given type of traffic
