  2. Agenda • Introduction & services • Error detection and correction • Multiple access protocols • LAN addresses and ARP • Ethernet • Hubs, bridges and switches

  3. Ethernet • IEEE divides the baseband category into five different standards:- • 10Base5 • 10Base2 • 10Base-T • 1Base5 • 100Base-T • IEEE defines only one specification for the broadband category:- • 10Base36

  4. Ethernet • Access Method (CSMA/CD): • When a station wants to transmit, it checks the cable. If the cable is busy, the station waits until it goes idle; otherwise it transmits immediately. • If two or more stations simultaneously begin transmitting on an idle cable, they will collide.

  5. Ethernet • Addressing: Each station on an Ethernet network has its own NIC. Which has a unique address of 48-bits. • Signaling: The baseband system uses Manchester digital encoding and 10Base36 system uses Differential PSK. • Data Rate: Ethernet LANs can support data rates between 1 to 100 Mbps.

  6. Ethernet • Frame Format: IEEE 802.3 specifies one type of frame containing seven fields:- • Preamble • Start Frame Delimiter (SFD) • Destination Address (DA) • Source Address (SA) • 802.2 Frame • CRC • Length of PDU

  7. MAC Frame

  8. Ethernet • Preamble: • It contains 7-bytes of alternating 0s and 1s that alert the receiving system to the coming frame and enable it to synchronize its input timing. • HDLC combined the alert, timing and start synchronization into a single field: the flag. • IEEE 802.3 divides these three functions between the preamble and the second field (SFD).

  9. Ethernet • Start Frame Delimiter (SFD): The second field (1-byte) of the 802.3 frame signals the beginning of the frame. The SFD tells the receiver that everything that follows is data, starting with the addresses. • Destination Address (DA): The DA field is allotted 6-bytes and contains the physical address of the packet’s next destination.

  10. Ethernet • Source Address (SA): The source address field is allotted 6-bytes and contains the physical address of the last device to forward the packet. • PDU: The next 2-bytes indicate the number of bytes in the coming PDU. • 802.2 Frame: This field contains the entire data. • CRC: The last field in the 802.3 frame contains the error detection mechanism.

  11. Ethernet(10Base5) • 10base5 (thicknet) has a bus topology LAN that uses baseband signaling and has a maximum segment length of 500 meters. • The physical connectors and cables utilized by 10base5 include coaxial cable, NIC, transceivers and attachment unit interface (AUI) cables • RG-8 Cable • Each station is linked to its corresponding transceiver by an AUI, also called transceiver cable.

  12. 10BASE5

  13. Ethernet Segments

  14. Ethernet (10Base2) • 10Base2 (thinnet) provides an inexpensive alternative to 10base5 Ethernet with the same data rate. • The disadvantage is shorter range (185 meters). • It uses RG-58 coaxial cable and BNC-T type connectors.

  15. 10BASE2

  16. Ethernet (10Base-T) • 10Base-T (twisted-pair), a star topology LAN using UTP cable instead of coaxial cable. • It supports a data rate of 10 Mbps and has a maximum length (hub to station) of 100 meters. • Instead of individual transceivers, 10base-T Ethernet places all of its networking operations in an intelligent hub with a port of each station. • Stations are linked into the hub by four-pair RJ-45 cable.

  17. 10BASET

  18. Ethernet (1Base5) • 1Base5 (Star LAN) is an AT&T product used infrequently today because of its slow speed (only 1Mbps).

  19. Switched Ethernet • Switched Ethernet is an attempt to improve the performance of 10Base-T Ethernet. • The 10Base-T Ethernet is a shared media network, which means that the entire media is involved in each transmission. • This is because of topology, though physically a star, is logically a bus. • For example: Station A is sending a frame to station E. The frame is received by the hub and is sent to every station (broadcast). All of the cabling in the system is involved in this transmission.

  20. Switched Ethernet • However, if we replace the hub with a switch (a device that can recognize the destination address and can route the frame to the port to which the destination station is connected), the rest of the media are not involved in the transmission process. • This means that the switch can receive another frame from another station at the same time and can route this frame to its own final destination. • For example: When station A is sending a frame to station E, station B can also send a frame to station D without any collision.

  21. Hubs & Switches

  22. Gigabit Ethernet • Gigabit Ethernet operates at 1000 Mbps or 1 Gbps approx. • In Gigabit Ethernet, the MAC layer and the access method remain the same, but the collision domain is reduced. • Gigabit is mainly designed to use optical fiber, although the protocol does not eliminate the use of twisted pair cables. • Gigabit Ethernet usually serves as a backbone to connect Fast Ethernet networks.
