What Are ISDN Layers in Computer Networks

The document discusses ISDN layers in computer networks, which include the physical layer, data-link layer, and network layer. ISDN has three channel types - B-channel for data, D-channel for packet switched data, and H-channel for high-speed data. ISDN also has four interface types - Basic Rate Interface, Primary Rate Interface, Narrowband ISDN, and Broadband ISDN.

What are ISDN Layers in computer networks?


Computer Network Internet MCA

ISDN is also known as Integrated Services Digital Network. It is helpful in a wide range of
services, for example, text (message), image, etc. It is capable of giving services and the
foundation of telecommunication networks i.e. useful in the framework.

It was also known as Integrated Digital Network because it is a digital technique that is
used in switching as well as in transmission.

Types of Channel
It has three types of Channel.

B-channel

Data-rate: 64 kbps.

Required: for voice, information which has less data rate.

D-channel

Data-rate: 16-64 kbps.

Required: for packet switched data.

H-channel

Data-rate − 1536 kbps or 1920 kbps data rate.

Required − for video/ high-speed data or audio, etc.

Types of ISDN layers


The following are the types of layers −

Physical Layer

Data-Link Layer

Network-layer

Types of Interfaces
ISDN has four types of interfaces or services, which are as follows −

Basic Rate Interface (BRI) − BRI uses the current infrastructure of telephone. It
provides configuration for B-channel at the data rate of 64 kbps and D-channel at
the data-rate of 16 kbps.

Primary Rate Interface (PRI) − PRI uses T-carriers in the United States and E-
carrier in Europe.

Narrowband ISDN − It acts as a carrier of voice information by using less


bandwidth.

Broadband ISDN − It helps in transmission of media by using high bandwidth as


compared to narrowband ISDN.
