DATA COMMUNICATION Lecture-42
Recap of Lecture 41 Synchronous Protocols Bit-Oriented Protocols HDLC Link Access Protocols (LAPs)
Overview of Lecture 42 Local Area Networks (LANs) Project 802 Protocol Data Unit (PDU) Ethernet
Local Area Networks (LANs) A Local Area Network (LAN) is a data communication system that allows a number of independent devices to communicate directly with each other in a limited geographical area
Local Area Networks (LANs) Four architectures of LANs IEEE standards Ethernet Token Bus Token Ring ANSI standard FDDI
LAN Compared with OSI Model
Project 802 A project started by the Computer Society of the IEEE 802.1: Internetworking standard for LANs (Not yet complete) 802.2(LLC): Non-architecture-specific upper sub layer MAC: A number of modules for different LANs
Project 802
Protocol Data Unit (PDU) PDU: The data unit in the LLC level No flag,no CRC,no station address Added in the MAC layer
Protocol Data Unit (PDU)
Control Field in PDU
Ethernet Developed by Xerox, and extended by DEC, Intel and Xerox
Access Method: CSMA/CD Multiple Access: Multiple users access to a single line Carrier Sense: A device listens to the line before it transmits Collision Detection: Extremely high voltage indicates a collision
Access Method: CSMA/CD
10BASE5: Thick Ethernet Total length of the bus 2500m To reduce collisions RG-8 coaxial cable
10 BASE 5: Thick Ethernet
Topology of 10 BASE 5
Transceiver Connection in 10 BASE 5 Transceiver connecting mechanism Tap Often called a vampire tap
