 1-1 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.

Topics discussed in this section:

Components
Data Representation
Data Flow
10
 1-1 DATA COMMUNICATIONS
• Effective characteristics of data
communication.
Delivery(Intended Receiver)
Accuracy(Unchanged Data)
Timeliness
Jitter(Uneven delay in
audio/video streaming)

 Data Representation
• TEXT – unicode (32 bits to represent
character)- ASCII
• NUMBERS
• IMAGES-composed of a matrix of pixel
• AUDIO- recording or broadcasting of
sound or music.
• VIDEO- recording or broadcasting of a
• picture or movie

 1-2 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.

Topics discussed in this section:

Distributed Processing
Network Criteria
Physical Structures
Network Models
Categories of Networks
Interconnection of Networks: Internetwork 15
NETWORKS

Set of nodes connected via physical links

– 1) Distributing Processing
– 2) Sharing Data and centralization
– 3) Security and robustness

16
 Network Criteria
1) Performance : Transmission and
• response times’ throughput and delay.
2) Reliability: How often the networks fail

3) Security: Privacy and integrity of

communication Data; recovery from
breaches and data loss.

17
 Physical Structures:
• Types of connections:
• 1) Point to Point: (P to P) Dedicated link
to be utilized only by end devices.
• 2) Multipoint (Multidrop): Many end
devices share the link capacity.

18
Figure 1.3 Types of connections: point-to-point and multipoint

Physical Topology

20
Figure 1.4 Categories of topology

21
 Physical Topology
• A) Mesh:

• Each device has dedicated point-to-point

link to other devices. Fully connected
mesh will have n( n-1)/ 2 F.D. links
– Where n = number of nodes
• Advantages: Fast communication, Robust
and Privacy (Security)
• Disadvantages: Cabling Space and cost
22
Figure 1.5 A fully connected mesh topology (five devices)

23
 Physical Topology (cont..)
• B) Star:

• Devices are connected Point to Point to a

central “Hub” (Controller Exchanger)
• Advantages: Less cabling and H/W
ports, two hops only.
• Disadvantage: Not robust

24

25
Figure 1.7 A bus topology connecting three stations

26
 – C) Bus:
• Multipoint link as “backbone” for a
network where devices have drop line to
tap into the bus

Advantage: Less Cabling

• Disadvantages: Topology dependent, limit
number of nodes on the bus due to signal
power loss with distance, not so
robust
27
Figure 1.8 A ring topology connecting six stations

28
• C) Ring: Each device connects Point to
Point with only two other devices in a
left and right neighbors arrangement via
a repeater.
• Advantages : easy installation, better
fault isolation and robustness.
• Disadvantages: N/2 hops communication

29
Figure 1.9 A hybrid topology: a star backbone with three bus networks

30
• D) Hybrid: • Pizza “star” inside a “ ring”
• Pros: Better robustness, still low cost,
Delay is 1 hop (until the star is not with
a ring cut, max 2. • Star of busses

31
 Categories of Networks:
• Local Area Networks (LAN): Few
Kilometers Connects devices (Pcs,
printers, servers.) within the same room,
building, company, and campus.
• Topologies most used are bus, ring and
star.

33
 Categories of
Networks(cont..)
• Wide Area Networks (WAN):
• span a large geographical area about
100’s – 1000’s of Km
• 1) Switched: End users connected via a
cloud of switches (subnet).
• 2) Point-to Point: Line leased from
telephone company/ TV connecting users
to the ISP for Internet access.
34
• alternative technologies used include:
– circuit switching
– packet switching
– frame relay
– Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM

35
 Circuit Switching

• uses a dedicated communications path

established for duration of conversation
• comprising a sequence of physical links
• with a dedicated logical channel
• eg. telephone network

36
 Packet Switching

• data sent out of sequence

• small chunks (packets) of data at a time
• packets passed from node to node
between source and destination
• used for terminal to computer and
computer to computer communications

37
 Frame Relay

• packet switching systems have large

overheads to compensate for errors
• modern systems are more reliable
• errors can be caught in end system
• Frame Relay provides higher speeds
• with most error control overhead
removed
38
Asynchronous Transfer Mode
(ATM)

• evolution of frame relay

• fixed packet (called cell) length
• with little overhead for error control
• anything from 10Mbps to Gbps
• constant data rate using packet
switching technique with multiple virtual
circuits

 Categories of
Networks(cont..)
• Metropolitan Area Networks:
• MAN town/city
• High-speed backbone linking multiple
LAN’s, DSL, TV cables.

 1-3 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.

Topics discussed in this section:

A Brief History
The Internet Today (ISPs)

43
 The Internet

• Internet evolved from ARPANET

– first operational packet network
– applied to tactical radio & satellite nets also
– had a need for interoperability
– led to standardized TCP/IP protocols

44
 The Internet:

• Huge number of interconnected Networks

(100000’s) private organized, e.g.’ government,
schools, research facilities, in many countries
• Collection of LAN’S, MAN’S and WAN’s.
– 􀂄 The internet protocol stack is the TCP/IP
– 􀂄 End users use the internet via Internet Service
providers (ISPs) which are of the following
hierarchies:

 1-4 PROTOCOLS AND STANDARDS

In this section, we define two widely used terms: protocols and

standards. First, we define protocol, which is synonymous with
rule. Then we discuss standards, which are agreed-upon rules.

Topics discussed in this section:

Protocols
Standards
Standards Organizations
Internet Standards
50
 What is a protocol?
▪ Communications between computers
requires very specific unambiguous rules
▪ A protocol is a set of rules that governs
how two or more communicating parties
are to interact
Examples
▪Internet Protocol (IP)
▪Transmission Control Protocol (TCP)
▪HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP) 51
• Elements:
• 1) Syntax: PDU format
– 2) Semantics: The meaning of each PDU’s field
– 3) Timing: Synchronization of communication when PDU is
to be transferred and its data rate.
• Syntax
– Structure or format of the data
– Indicates how to read the bits - field delineation
• Semantics
– Interprets the meaning of the bits
– Knows which fields define what action
• Timing
– When data should be sent and what
– Speed at which data should be sent or speed at which it is being received.
52
 What is a standard?
– • A “ standard is set of guidelines” to users
and manufactures to ensure
interconnectivity.

– 1) “Defacto” not approved but widely used

(TCP/IP)
– 2) “Dejure”: approved by recognized body
(IEEE 802.X).
