Chapter 9Internetworking • Internetworking Technology • System Network Architecture/Local Area Network Integration
Internetworking Technology • Bridging • Routing • Switching • Repeating
Bridging • Equipment: bridges • Operation • 80/20 rule • Destination and source address • Known local nodes table • Forward-if-not-local • Broadcasting
Bridging - Pros & Cons • Pros • Easy to install & configure • Quick & cost-effective • Between different network architectures • Different media types • providing repeating, retiming & regenerating • Cons • Propagation (all LANs) • Broadcast storm (improperly addressed frame)
Routing • Equipment: routers • Operation • Router is destination address of data link layer • Read network layer destination address • Use routing table to select the best path • Create new destination address (destination router) of data link layer • Forward-if-proven-remote
Routing - Pros & Cons • Pros • More efficient use of bandwidth • Load balance (best path: hops, cost & congestion) • Dynamic routing table • Firewall (misaddressed or misbehaving frames) • Scaleable • Management information via SNMP • Multiple protocols • Cons • Complexity • Costs
Switching • Equipment: switches • Pros • Increase bandwidth • Virtual LANs • Cons • No filtering or security • Single path • Management problem (microsecond)
Repeaters • Regenerating & retiming incoming digital signal • Pass all signals • Connect different media • Extend LAN distance
LAN-To-Mainframe • Hierarchical networks: Classic SNA (system network architecture) • Micro-Mainframe
Classic SNA Architecture • Front-end Processor (FED) • Cluster controller
FEPs - Functions • Security • Error checking • Code converting • Line management • Message queue • Managing computer resources • Usage accounting
Cluster Controller • Similar to FEP • Low cost
Micro-Mainframe • LAN-based SNA gateway • LAN server with protocol conversion software & hardware • Cost effective • Mainframe channel-attached gateway • Replace FEP • Cheaper
SNA Model • Transaction service • Presentation service • Data flow control • Transmission control • Path control • Data link control Physical control
Assignment • Review chapters 8 - 9 • Read chapter 13
