  1. Chapter 1. Introduction

  2. Data Communications • The term telecommunication means communication at a distance. The word data refers to information presented in whatever form is agreed upon by the parties creating and using the data. Data communications are the exchange of data between two devices via some form of transmission medium such as a wire cable.

  3. Five Components of Data Communication

  4. Message: text, number, images, audio, and video Sender and Receiver devices that send/receive data message Computer, workstation, telephone, TV, etc. Transmission medium Physical path thru which the message travels Protocol Set of rules governing data communications Five Components of Data Communication

  5. Data flow (simplex, half-duplex, and full-duplex)

  6. NETWORKS • A network is a set of devices (often referred to as nodes) connected by communication links. A node can be a computer, printer, or any other device capable of sending and/or receiving data generated by other nodes on the network.

  7. Network Criteria • Performance • Mostly measured by throughput and delay • Reliability • The frequency of failure • Recovery time from a failure • Security • Protecting data from • unauthorized access • Damage

  8. Type of Connection • Point-to-Point • Multipoint (multi-drop)

  9. Physical Topology • Mesh topology • Star topology • Bus topology • Ring topology • Hybrid topology

  10. Mesh Topology Advantage v. Disadvantage Connection of telephone regional offices

  11. Star Topology Advantage v. Disadvantage High speed LAN

  12. Bus Topology Advantage v. Disadvantage Early Ethernet

  13. Ring Topology Advantage v. Disadvantage IEEE 802.5 Token Ring, MAN

  14. Hybrid Topology Combination of two or more network topology

  15. Categories of Networks Local Area Network (LAN) Wide Area Network (WAN) Metropolitan Area Network (MAN) Personal Area Network (PAN)

  16. WANs: a switched WAN v. a point-to-point WAN

  17. Heterogeneous Network

  18. The Internet • The Internet has revolutionized many aspects of our daily lives. It has affected the way we do business as well as the way we spend our leisure time. The Internet is a communication system that has brought a wealth of information to our fingertips and organized it for our use.

  19. PROTOCOLS AND STANDARDS • Protocols • A set of rules to define • What is communicated • How it is communicated • When it is communicated • Standards • To guarantee national/international interoperatibility of data and telecommunication technology • Regardless of equipment manufacturers • ISO, ITU, ANSI, IEEE, … • Internet standards are maintained by IETF for publishing RFC (Request for Comments) • http://www.ietf.org/rfc.html
