  1. Telecommunications&The Internet

  2. Computer Computer Channel interface Channel interface Basic Telecom Model Communication Channel

  3. Computer Computer Modem Modem Typical Home Telecom Model Digital signals Digital signals Audio Phone Lines Analog signals

  4. Channels • Twisted wire (twisted pair) • Coaxial Cable • Fiber Optics • Microwave • Newer Wireless

  5. Twisted Pair • Low cost • easy to work with • installed infrastructure • crosstalk • 300bps to 100Mbps • “This modem is 56Kbps capable. However, current regulations limit download speeds to 53Kbps,” the fine print from a typical modem advertisement.

  6. DSL • Uses existing twisted pair • 256Kbps to 40Mbps • Loop length max about 18,000 ft. • More correctly ADSL (Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line) with download speeds different from upload speeds.

  7. Coaxial Cable • More expensive • harder to work with • not as extensive an existing infrastructure • cable TV companies are changing this • 56Kbps to 550Mbps

  8. Fiber Optics • Very expensive • difficult to work with • existing infrastructure limit to backbones • 500Kbps to 30Gbps

  9. Microwave • Not as expensive as land lines • Limited to line of site, (towers) • reasonable infrastructure • Satellite bounce, increases expense • geo-synchronous (22,000 miles) • low earth orbit (cheaper, lower power) • 256Kbps to 100Mbps

  10. Newer Wireless • Cellular • mobile data networks • personal communications services (PCS) • note: pagers & PDAs are not channels, they would be nodes on one end of a channel

  11. Transmission Speed • BPS, bits-per-second, the amount of information that can be transmitted through a channel • BAUD - a binary event, a signal change from positive to negative or vice versa.

  12. Speed II • At higher speeds a single signal change can transmit more than one bit at a time, so the bit rate will generally be higher that the baud rate. • Transmission capacity is a function of the frequency, higher frequency means higher capacity

  13. More Speed • Bandwidth = range of frequencies that a channel can support (difference between highest and lowest frequency). • Greater range means greater bandwidth. • Greater bandwidth means greater transmission capacity.

  14. Faster Yet • Bandwidth is like pipe diameter. • Larger diameter pipes can transmit more water in a given period of time. • Personal Communication Services, PCSs, have a greater bandwidth than fiber optics.

  16. C C C P C C C C P P C C C C C Network Topology • Star Network • Bus Network • Ring Network

  17. Networks • Local Area Network, LAN • Wide Area Network, WAN • Value Added Network, VAN

  18. Network Terms • File server • Print server • Gateway - connects dissimilar networks • Bridge - connects similar networks • Routers - connects networks & directs traffic • Similar networks = same network protocols

  19. Transmission on LANs • Token Ring • can talk only when you have the token • cost more than Ethernet • better for high volume traffic • Ethernet • talk whenever you want • send again if collision • works best with low volume traffic Chapter 8 20

  20. Transmission on WANs & VANs • Packet Switching • message broken into packets • packets may take various routes • message reassembled at destination • allows load balancing on channels • Frame Relay • like packet switching, no error correction

  21. The Internet • What is the Internet? • Who owns the Internet? • Why does the Internet exist?

  39. IP Addresses • An identifier for a computer or device on a TCP/IPnetwork. Networks using the TCP/IP protocol route messages based on the IP address of the destination. The format of an IP address is a 32-bit numeric address written as four numbers separated by periods. Each number can be zero to 255. For example, 1.160.10.240 could be an IP address.

  40. IP Address Classes • Class A - 168.212.226.204 • supports 16 million hosts on each of 127 networks • Class B - 168.212.226.204 • supports 65,000 hosts on each of 16,000 networks • NDUS has two Class B addresses • 134.129.xxx.xxx Eastern ND • 134.234.xxx.xxx Western ND • Class C - 168.212.226.204 • supports 254 hosts on each of 2 million networks
