Network Performance • Bandwidth MBits / Sec • How many bits/sec can be got across the network ( cars / hour over the mororway ) • Latency m Secs • How long from A to B • Jitter m Secs • Variation in Latency
Network Classifications • Size LAN MAN WAN • Access Public Private • Protocol Open Proprietary • Timing Synchronous Asynchronous • Topology Star Ring Bus Tree Mesh • Switching Packet Circuit
Network Size • LAN MAN WAN • Local Metropolitan Wide • Campus City Country
Network Timing • Synchronous • Data bits are timed by a clock pulse • Asynchronous • Data bits are transmitted as required
Asynchronous Under Load Latency Jitter Zero Max Load
Network Topology Ring Star Bus Tree Mesh
Network Switching • Circuit Switching • dedicated connection established between end points which remains in place for the duration of the call • Packet Switching • information packets are individually routed through the network
