CHAPTER-8 COMPUTER NETWORKS 8.1 Evolution of Networking: 8.1.1 Introduction to Computer Networks: Network: - To connect the more than one devices via a medium, is called network. Why do we need network? 1, Fast and Secure Communication 2. Resource sharing 3, Reduce Cost 8.1.2 Evolution of Network: ARPANET: The Advanced Research Projects Agency Network (ARPANET) was an early packet switching network and the first network to implement the protocol suite TCP/IP. Both technologies became the technical foundation of the Internet. NSFNET: "= The National Science Foundation Network (NSFNET) was a program created and funded by the National Science Foundation to coordinate and promote advanced research and education in networking in the United States. = NSFNET was founded in 1985, NSFNET was a general purpose research network wherein the connection is not limited to the super computer centers, it was to serve as. beps://p)a backbone connection for regional networks at every supercomputing site and use ARPANET's TCP/IP protocol. In 1986, the super computer centers were officially connected and it became open to all academic networks. The NSF decided to transfer the operations of NSFNET to the private sector in the midst of the rapid growth of the network. NSENET was officially dissolved on October 30, 1995. Internet: A network of networks. WWW: World Wide Web started on 6" August 1991, started by ‘ Berners Lee’ . Interspace: Interspace is a client/server software program that allows multiple users to communicate online with real-time audio, video and text chat in dynamic 3D environments. Interspace provides the most advanced form of communication available on the Internet today. 8.2 Communication Terminol Channel: A channel is a separate path through which signals can flow. A channel has a certain capacity for transmitting information, often measured by its bandwidth in Hz or its data rate in bits per second. Bandwidth: Bandwidth refers to the amount of information that can be transmitted over a network in a given amount of time, usually expressed in bits per second or bps. Data Transfer Rate: The data transfer rate of a computer network connection is normally measured in units of bits per second (bps). Larger units are Kbps, Mbps and Gbps, KBps, MBps,GBps bps means bit per second. Bps means Byte per second 1 kilobit per second (Kbps) = 1000 bits per second (bps) 1 megabit per second (Mbps) = 1000 Kbps or 1000? bps. 1 gigabit per second (Gbps) = 1000 Mbps 1 Terabit per second (Tbps) = 1000 Gbps8.3 Switching Techniques: It is a way to send a message from sender to receiver. Information may be switched as it travels through various communication channels. There are three typical switching techniques available for digital traffic. + Circuit Switching + Packet Switching + Message Switching Circuit Switching Packet Switching Requires point to point connections during calls. Sends data in small blocks, called packets. Packets reassembled in proper sequence at the receiver end. Required dedicated connection Not required dedicated connection Circuit-switched networks were used for phone calls packet-switched networks handled data o 8 = S ie8.4 Transmission Medium: A medium which is used to connect the devices and transfers the data from one device to another device.

Fig. : Active and Passive Hub HUB Hub passes the frame to every port. SWITCH Passes the frame to a specific port, because it keeps a record of MAC add Creates lot of traffic on network Hub shares its bandwidth with each and every port, so bandwidth divided among all the nodes, which will degrade performance, Less traffic Switch allocates full bandwidth to each of its port. So user always access maximum amount of bandwidth. Slow speed Fast speed si/ D34. Gateway: © A gateway is a network point that acts as an entrance to another network. © Used to connect two dissimilar networks. Web Server Gateway WAN 5, Bridg. A device that connects two local-area networks (LANs), or two segments of the same LAN that use the same protocol, such as Ethernet. LAN-1 6. Route * A router is adevice that forwards data packets along networks. A router is connected to at least two networks, commonly two LANs or WANS. Routers are located at gateways, the places where two or more networks connect. © A router acts as a dispatcher, choosing the best path for information to travel so it’s received quickly. https://pythonschoolkvs wordpress.com7 I ant 7. Repeater: Network repeaters regenerate and amplify the weak signals to transmit the information for long distance. Wingless Router, Repeater Desktops eee NIC (Network Interface Card): NIC card has a physical address of a system; this physical address known as MAC address.

The following factors are considered while selecting a topology: Y Cost Y Reliability i//pytY Bandwidth capacity Y Ease of installation Y Ease of troubleshooting Y Delay involved in routing information from one node to another. 8.7.1 Types of Topologies Topology CT Bus Ring i Star Mesh Tree Hybrid 1. Bus Topology It consists of one continuous length of cable (trunk) that is shared by all the nodes in the network and a terminating resistor (terminator) at each end that absorbs the signal when it reaches the end of line. Without a terminator the electrical signal would reach the end of copper wire and bounce back, causing errors on the network. Data communication message travels along the bus in both directions until it is picked up by a workstation or server NIC. If the message is missed or not recognized, it reaches the end of the cabling and dissipates at the terminator. Bus Network Topology requires a multipoint connection. Advantages Disadvantages 1.

Difficult to reconfigure, due to more connections. 3, Failure of one node does not affect the | 3- Difficult to troubleshoot network functioning. 4. Cost is less 4, Slow, due to traffic on single cable 5. New node can be easily added 5. Only one device transmits at a time, other devices wait for their tum,2. Ring Topology The physical ring Topology is a circular loop of point-to- point links. Message travel around the ring from node to node in a very organized manner. Each workstation checks the message for a matching destination address. If the address doesn’t match the node simply regenerates the message and sends it on its way. If the address matches, the node accepts the message and sends a reply to the originating sender. a = Advantages Disadvantages 1. Easy to troubleshoot 2. There is no master computer on controller. 3. There are no collisions. 4. Fast speed 5. Easy fault detection and isolation 1. Requires more cable 2. More Expensive 3. A break in cable ring brings down entire network 4, Data flows in single direction 3. Star Topology The physical star Topology uses a central controlling hub with dedicated legs pointing in all — like points of a star. Each network directions device has a dedicated point-to-point link to central hub. There is no direct link between these computers and the computers can communicate via central controller only. the Advantages Disadvantages 1. Easier to add new node or modify any existing node without disturbing network. 2. Fast Speed 3. Ifany local computer or link fails, the entire system does not collapse 4. Easy fault detection and isolation 5. Central node control 1. Central node dependency. If the central controller or hub fails, entire system collapses. 2. Cabling cost is more 3. Difficult to install4, Mesh Topology In mesh topology, each node is connected to every other node in the network i.e. each node has a dedicated point to point link to every other node as shown. Dedicated means that the link carries the traffic only between two devices it connects. In this way there exist multiple paths between two nodes of the network. In case of failure of one path, the other one can be used. Advantages Disadvantages 1. It is robust. Failure of one node does not collapse the entire system. 2. No traffic congestion 3. Dedicated links ensure faster transmission 4. Point to point links makes identification and isolation easier. fault 1. Network installation and reconfiguration difficult. 2. High cabling cost. If there are n nodes in the network then each node has (n-1) connections. 5. Tree Topology This topology has Hierarchical structure. This topology connects the node via hubs. Hub, which is present at top level, is called root hub or active hub. Another hub is called secondary hub or passive hub. aire _—Advantages Disadvantages 1. New node can be added easily. 1. If the backbone line breaks, the entire 2. Signal can travel for long distance. segment goes down. 3. Isolate and prioritize communication. 2. More difficult to configure 3. Higher cabling cost 6. Hybrid Topology: It is a composition of more than one topology. 8.8 Network Protocol: 1. TCP: Transmission Control Protocol — 4 layers ‘Application Layer Transport Layer Internet ‘Network Interface 2. IP: Internet Protocol Each computer has unique address over internet, is called IP address. An IP address is an identifier for a computer or device on a TCP/IP network.An IPv4 address (dotted-decimal notation) 172.16 .254.1 + + + + 10101100 ,00010000.11111110 00000001 oo One byte=eight bits Thirty-two bits (4.x 8), or 4 bytes Two types: I. IPv4 (32-bits or 4-bytes) : IPv4 addresses are canonically represented in dot- decimal notation, which consists of four decimal numbers, each ranging from 0 to 255, separated by dots, e.g., 192.168.1.1. Il. IPV6 (128-bits or 16-bytes) 3. FTP (File Transfer Protocol): use to transfer files from one computer to another computer. 4, PPP (Point to Point Protocol) 5. HTTP( HyperText Transfer Protocol): To transfer the hypertext pages over internet. 6.1 work) : A network protocol that allows a user on one computer to log into another computer(remote) that is part of the same network or on the internet. Inet (TELecommunication NI 7. GSM: GSM (Global System for Mobile communication) is a digital mobile telephony system that digitizes and compresses data, then sends it down a channel with two other streams of user data, each in its own time slot 8. CDMA: Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) is a digital air interface standard, claiming eight to fifteen times the capacity of traditional analog cellular systems. Each user is separated by a unique code; all users can share the same frequency band. i//pyt ‘dpCDMA is a spread spectrum technology, which means that it spreads the information contained in a particular signal of interest over a much greater bandwidth than the original signal. 9, GPRS: General Packet Radio Service is a packet-switching technology that enables data transfers through cellular networks (wireless). It is used for mobile internet, MMS and other data communications. In theory the speed limit of GPRS is 115 kbps, but in most networks it is around 35 kbps. 10.
