Basic components IV (06.523) Basic components of communication networks IV
Client/Server versus Peer to Peer • Compatibility • Cost • Features • Organisation
Data Compression • Run-length encoding • Code book compression • Huffmann Encoding • Multimedia compression
OSI network layers • Physical layer (voltages, timing factors, duplex) • Data link layer (makes transmission error free) • Network layer (addressing and routing at a hardware level) • Transport layer (controls connections, packet routing at a software level) • Session layer (streams interface) • Presentation layer (makes the interface look tidy) • Application layer (http, etc.)
Synchronisation • Bit synchronisation • Byte synchronisation • Frame/Packet synchronisation
Overview of Basic Components • Current and future trends • User level networking • Basic components in communication networks • Difference between simplex and duplex, serial and parallel • Standards and standardisation organisations
Communication networks (current) • Allow the transfer of files between computers • Allow the sharing of peripherals • Allow sending and receiving of email
Communication networks (future) • Cooperative work environment (CVS, GroupWise) • More communication - voice, etc • No need to print • Same environment wherever you sit
Basic components • Server • Client • Interface at four different levels
Networking standards • Common standards • Standardising bodies • Importance of standards to you
