Networking

DATA COMMUNICATIONS

  • The term telecommunication means communication at a distance.
  • The word data refers to information presented in whatever form is agreed upon by the parties creating and using the data.
  • Data communications are the exchange of data between two devices via some form of transmission medium such as a wire cable.

Data Communications System

Components

Data Communications System

Components

  • Message: The message is the information (data) to be communicated like text, numbers, pictures, audio, and video.
  • Sender: The sender is the device that sends the data message.
  • Receiver: The receiver is the device that receives the message.

Data Representation

  • Text
  • Numbers
  • Images
  • Audio
  • Video

Data flow (simplex, half-duplex, and

full-duplex)

Distributed Processing

  • Most networks use distributed processing, in which a task is divided among multiple computers.
  • Instead of one single large machine being responsible for all aspects of a process, separate computers (usually a personal computer or workstation) handle a subset.

Network Criteria

  • Performance - transit time and response time.
  • Reliability - network reliability is measured by the frequency of failure, the time it takes a link to recover from a failure.
  • Security - protecting data from unauthorized access, protecting data from damage and development

Physical Structures

  • Physical Topology : The term physical topology refers to the way in which a network is laid out physically.

A fully connected mesh topology (five devices)

A bus topology connecting three stations

A ring topology connecting six stations

Categories of Networks

  • Local Area Network (LAN)
  • Wide Area Network (WAN)
  • Metropolitan Area Networks (MAN)
  • Personal Area Network (PAN)

THE INTERNET

Internet is Network of Networks
