100 Megabit Ethernet • 100Base-X • Comes from Grand Junction Networks • supported by companies like 3Com, Intel and Sun Microsystems • backward compatible with 10Mbps Ethernet • and uses the CSMA/CD protocol • is designed to work using the existing cable types Chapters 4 & 5
Summary of features • based on ANSI FDDI over copper • uses MLT-3 signaling • retains CSMA/CD • uses two pairs • uses Ethernet packet format • requires no changes to existing network components, cabling, bridges • need category 5 cabling Chapters 4 & 5
100Base-VG (Voice Grade) • Designed by Hewlett Packard and AT&T • allows users to assign priority to packets (normal or high) • increases the bandwidth from 10Mbps to 100Mbps Chapters 4 & 5
100Base-VG (Voice Grade) • CSMA is not supported, instead, a proprietary technique called quadrature signaling and demand priority is used • All four pairs are used to send the packet to a hub • If more than one packet arrives at the hub at the same time, the highest priority packet is serviced first Chapters 4 & 5
100Base-VG (Voice Grade) • Typically use VIDEO with high priority • Ethernet Frame – yes • CSMA/CD – no • Voice grade UTP – yes • Uses two-level NRZ output, 5 data bits converted into 6 transmit bits • Half-duplex Chapters 4 & 5
Summary of features • uses voice grade cable • supported by Microsoft, Apple, Novell, etc • signal is split over 4 pairs • data is half duplex, one direction at a time • handles time sensitive data like voice and video • CSMA/CD replaced with Demand Priority Protocol Chapters 4 & 5
Summary of features • IBM and HP have worked together to expand the 100Base-VG specification to include token ring • This will support Cat3, type4 and Type5 cable • It will not require any changes to existing wiring or to bridges and routers • The advantages of 100BaseVG-AnyLan over 100BaseT are • its topology is not so limiting • traffic can be prioritized, giving better response to some users who need it • better suited to video and voice data Chapters 4 & 5
100BaseT • This is an extension of the existing Ethernet standard • 100BaseTX uses two-pair Category 5 UTP/STP cabling Chapters 4 & 5
100BaseT • 100BaseT4 uses four-pair Category 3, 4 or 5 UTP cabling • 100BaseFX uses two-strand fiber • In order to achieve the high 100Mbps rate, the collision timing associated with CSMA/CD is reduced • This means the total lengths of cabling from a workstation to another via two hubs cannot exceed 205 meters Chapters 4 & 5
100BaseT • If using fiber, a maximum distance of 405 meters from workstation to hub is allowed • 100BaseT devices are auto sensing, which means they can run at either speed • On startup, the card advertises their speed with a series of Fast Link Pulses • If a hub supports this, it will detect the FLP's, and then negotiate with the card for the highest possible speed • This can be over-ridden by network managers, who can force the slower 10Mbps mode Chapters 4 & 5

Repeaters A signal loses strength as it passes along a cable A device called a repeater will boost the signal Electrically amplifies the signal it receives and rebroadcasts it. Chapters 4 & 5
Routers • Routers were devised in order to separate networks logically • For instance, a TCP/IP router can segment the network based on IP subnets • Filtering at this level (on IP addresses) will take longer than that of a bridge or switch which only looks at the MAC layer • Most routers can also perform bridging functions • A major feature of routers, because they can filter packets at a protocol level, is to act as a firewall Chapters 4 & 5
Bridges • A device that allows you to segment a large network into two smaller, more efficient networks. • Monitors the information traffic on both sides of the network so that it can pass packets of information to the correct location Chapters 4 & 5
ETHERNET SWITCHES • Ethernet switches increase network performance by decreasing the amount of extraneous traffic on individual network segments attached to the switch • They also filter packets a bit like a router does • Core switches have faster throughputs than workgroup switches Chapters 4 & 5
Virtual LAN • VLAN • Connecting users using logical groupings • Accomplished through software and smart switches • Security and network isolation • Similar users get connected together even if they are in different locations Chapters 4 & 5
What is a Protocol? A set of rules that governs the communications between computers on a network These rules include guidelines that regulate the following characteristics of a network: access method, allowed physical topologies, types of cabling, and speed of data transfer The most common protocols are: Ethernet Local Talk Token Ring FDDI ATM Chapters 4 & 5
Internet Protocols Networks (hardware) provide computers the basic ability of transferring bits from one computer to another A set of rules which all of the network's member agree on, that is a protocol Communication Protocol is a standard designed to specify how computers interact and exchange messages Chapters 4 & 5
Internet Protocols Protocol usually specifies: message format how to handle errors For simplification engineers have decided to design a set of protocols, each has different responsibilities Instead of one protocol responsible for all forms of communication. The set of protocols is called a Protocol Suite covering all forms of communication as needed Chapters 4 & 5
The OSI seven layers model A layering model is the most common way to divide a protocol suite to subparts and describe them individually Layering help us to have better understanding of a protocol suite Developed over 20 years ago – theoretical model Chapters 4 & 5
Internet protocol suite PPP Point-to-Point Protocol A protocol for creating a TCP/IP connection over both synchronous and asynchronous systems Chapters 4 & 5
Internet protocol suite PPP provides connections for host to network or between two routers, It also has a security mechanism PPP is well known as a protocol for connections over regular telephone lines using modems on both ends. This protocol is widely used for connecting personal computers to the Internet Chapters 4 & 5
Internet protocol suite SLIP Serial Line Internet Protocol – A point-to-point protocol to use over a serial connection, a predecessor of PPP There is also an advanced version of this protocol known as CSLIP (compressed seriallineinternetprotocol) which reduces overhead on a SLIP connection by sending just a header information, increasing packet throughput. Chapters 4 & 5
