Introduction lUlUsers lClCommunication networks lSlServices
POTS l Plain Old Telephone Set l Basic service l No flow control l Low speed networking
1970s l IBM/SNA (1974) l Digital/DECnet (1975) l Sperry-Univac/Data communication architecture (1976) l Siemens/TRANSDATA (1978) l Honeywell/Distributed system architecture (1979)
X.25 (1/2) l CCITT (ITU-T) l Interfacing host to public data network l Link access protocol B (LAP B) l Go Back N l Window size 8 or 128 (satellite) l Bit stuffing
X.25 (2/2) Packet Switch Network
ATM (1/2) l Asynchronous Transfer Mode l Cell based switching technology l Integrate different data types l Traffic management (contracting, policing,…etc.) l high speed (OC192)
ATM (2/2) VC VP
DSL (1/2) l Digital subscriber line l started with 2B+D; now 52 Mbps! l Different flavors are available. l Uses TCM (Time Compress Multiplexing) for data transmission l Intense bit encoding per symbol l RS coding
