 LAN Standards: Ethernet ◦ Dominant in wired LANs ◦ Became dominant because of its low cost and adequate performance © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall 4 青春電幻物語

 Switched WANs ◦ Leased line networks  Company leases lines to connects its sites  Installs switches to connect the leased lines  Manages the resulting networks © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall 5

 Switched WANs ◦ Public Switched Data Networks (PSDNs)  PSDN vendor manages the switching cloud.  Firm only needs to install a single leased line from each site to the vendor’s nearest point of presence (POP).  Frame Relay is the dominant PSDN standard.  Metropolitan area Ethernet is growing. © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

 The 802 Committee ◦ Committee of the Institute for Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). ◦ IEEE created the 802 LAN/MAN Standards Committee for LAN standards. ◦ This committee is usually called the 802 Committee. © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall 8

 The 802 Committee ◦ The 802 Committee creates working groups for specific types of standards.  for general standards  for Ethernet standards  for wireless LAN standards  for WiMax wireless metropolitan area network standards © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall 9

 The Working Group ◦ This group is in charge of creating Ethernet standards. ◦ The terms and Ethernet are interchangeable today. ◦ Figure 6-4 shows Ethernet physical layer standards. ◦ Ethernet also has data link layer standards (frame organization, switch operation, etc.). © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall 10

 Ethernet Standards are OSI Standards ◦ Layer 1 and Layer 2 standards are almost universally OSI standards. ◦ Ethernet is no exception. ◦ ISO must ratify them. ◦ In practice, when the Working Group finishes standards, vendors begin building compliant products. © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

With optical fiber, turn light on or off. In baseband transmission, the signal is injected directly into the medium. With UTP, change voltage levels. With optical fiber, turn light on or off.

© 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall 19 In broadband transmission, the signal is modulated into a radio channel and sent in a radio channel.

 Broadband transmission can carry signals farther by using amplifiers.  However, baseband transmission is less expensive, and regeneration (which we will see next) allows long distance transmission also.  Baseband transmission is simpler, so it dominates LANs today.  So BASE is in their names. © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

 Benefits of VLANs ◦ VLANs reduce traffic when hosts broadcast.  Broadcasts only go to hosts on the same VLAN. ◦ VLANs give security.  Client hosts can only access servers on the same VLAN. © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall 52

© 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall 53

 Managed switches cost substantially more than dumb switches.  However, they reduce networking staff labor because problems can be diagnosed remotely and sometimes even fixed remotely.  Management savings far offset switch costs.  Managed switches give the whole network “visibility”. © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall 54 ( 啞的, 愚笨的 )

 Power over Ethernet (POE) ◦ Switches can supply power to devices connected by UTP. ◦ No need for separate power to the device. © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall 55

 Latest POE Standard ◦ Provide up to 25 watts to attached devices ◦ Sufficient for most wireless access points ◦ Sufficient for VoIP phones ◦ Sufficient for surveillance cameras ◦ Not sufficient for desktop or notebook PCs © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall 56

 POE Switches ◦ New switches can be purchased with POE. ◦ Companies can also add POE equipment to an existing non-POE switch. © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall 57

 The Threat: ◦ Someone can enter a business and plug a computer into a wall jack. ◦ This will give access to the network without going through the firewall.  The Countermeasure: ◦ Require anyone plugging into an Ethernet switch to authenticate himself or herself before being allowed beyond the switch. © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

 Wide Area Networks (WANs) ◦ Connect different sites.  WAN Purposes ◦ Provide remote access to individuals who are off site. ◦ Link sites within the same corporation. ◦ Provide Internet access. © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall 63

 Carriers ◦ Beyond their physical premises, companies must use the services of regulated carriers. ◦ Carriers have rights of way for transmission in public areas. ◦ Companies are limited to whatever services the carriers provide. ◦ Prices for carrier services change abruptly and without technological reasons. ◦ Prices and service availability vary from country to country. © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

 Public Switched Data Network ◦ The idea is to outsource site-to-site networking to a PSDN carrier. ◦ PSDN core is shown as a cloud because user does not care what happens there. ◦ Economies of scale, so PSDNs usually are relatively inexpensive compared to switched leased line networks. © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall 73

© 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall 74 You only need one leased line from each site to the PSDN carrier’s nearest point of presence (POP). POP: Point of Presence

 X.25 ◦ 1970s technology ◦ Slow and expensive ◦ Gone today © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall 76

 Frame Relay ◦ Started to grow in the 1990s  Inexpensive and fast compared to X.25  256 kbps to about 40 Mbps  This is the range of greatest corporate demand for WAN speeds. ◦ Grew rapidly in the 1990s thanks to low prices ◦ Carriers have raised their prices to improve profit margins.  This has reduced growth © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall 77

 ATM ◦ Created to replace the core of the Public Switched Telephone Network  Widely adopted for the Public Switched Telephone Network core ◦ Also provided as a PSDN service  Speeds of 1 Mbps to gigabits per second  Adoption for PSDN service has been limited because of high cost and the lack of demand for very high PSDN speeds © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall 78

 Metro Ethernet ◦ Metropolitan area network (MAN): a city and its environs ◦ MANs have smaller distances than national or international WANs, so lower prices and higher speeds © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall 79

 Metro Ethernet ◦ Speeds of 1 Mbps to 100 Mbps and low prices ◦ No learning is needed because all firms are familiar with Ethernet ◦ Carrier can provision or reprovision service speed rapidly to meet periods of high demand ◦ The only PSDN service growing rapidly © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall 80

 PSDN switches are arranged in meshes. ◦ For each incoming frame, the switch must select between multiple outgoing ports for different data links to the destination host.  With virtual circuit operation, however, PSDNs choose the best path before data transmission begins. ◦ Switches do not have to consider multiple outgoing ports, so cost is slashed. © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall 81

© 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall 82 The virtual circuit is the best path to be followed by all frames.

© 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall 83 Frames have virtual circuit numbers instead of destination host addresses.

© 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall 84 The switch looks up the frame’s virtual circuit number and sends the frame out the indicated port.

 Virtual circuits reduce costs. ◦ The complex work of selecting paths is done only once—before communication begins—rather than for each frame.  Virtual circuits permit traffic engineering. ◦ All frames with the same level of priority can be given the same virtual circuit number. ◦ The firm can conduct load balancing to avoid overloading some circuits. © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
