7. LANs, MANs, & WANs  LAN – Local area network – Single office, building, campus – 10 Mbps to 100 Mbps to the desktop common – 1 Gbps coming  Will carry most traffic, because most traffic is local

8. PC Networking on a small LAN Network Interface Card (NIC) In each PC Each client and server needs a NIC rather than a modem

9. LANs, MANs, & WANs  WAN – Wide area network – Intercity, international – 9,600 bps to 1 Mbps common to the desktop – Links with higher speed are usually shared (multiplexed) by several desktops  Emerged before LANs, due to high cost of long- distance telephone charges

11. Some basic concepts  NDIS Interface: Network Driver Specification Interface, wraps NIC drivers and allow communication with multiple protocols, binds a NIC to a protocol.  Streams: multiple channels allowing broader bandwidth for data transfer, envelop the protocols.  Transport Driver Interface : allows software drivers (server, redirector, etc) to communicate with protocols.  Redirectors: software in WS that redirect network drives, printers requests to network I/O requests.  Servers: software that allows a device to accept requests from other devices.

12. Standard protocols  NetBEUI - NetBIOS Extended User Interface, “native” Windows protocol, not routable.  TCP/IP - implemented through WinSock, routable, supports SNMP, DHCP, WINS.  NWLink (IPX/SPX) - used to connect to Novell NetWare, just a protocol, not access.  DLC - Data Link Control, used to connect to IBM mainframes and HP printers directly connected to a network (server).

15. NICs  Network Interface Cards – Implement Physical Layer –Plug and Electrical Signaling – Implements the Data Link Layer (data packaging, access control, etc.) –LLC (802.2) –MAC (802.3 MAC)

16. Wiring  Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) – Twisted several times per foot to reduce interference, T in 10Base- and Unshielded –No protection except for plastic coating –Distance limitation: 100 meters (attenuation, distortion, noise and interference, crosstalk) -- propagation  Categories of UTP Wiring – Category 5: The best. Good for 100 Mbps – Category 3 and 4: lower. May be OK for 100 Mbps  Wiring Plugs: RJ-45 Standard – Similar to home (RJ-11) jacks, but wider

17. CSMA/CD Media Access Control  CD: Collision Detection – If two stations transmit at once …. – Their signals collide, scrambling one another – Because each sender listens (senses the carrier), both know that there has been a collision – Both stop and wait a random amount of time. X Collision 101010 001110

23. AddressesAddresses  Ethernet address (MAC address ) l 48-bit unique addresses hard wired in NICs (280 trillion) l 12 hex numbers, e.g. 00-A0-C9-9F-00-07 l first three identify company, Intel in the example l how to see: IPconfig, or System Information  IP address (number) l 32-bit value, not hard coded (4 billion), assigned manually or by DHCP l four dotted quads, each quad a decimal from 0-255, corresponding to eight bits, e.g. UBMAIL IP address is 198.202.0.25 l to convert open Calculator select View, Scientific, decimal and type dotted quad decimal value, then select binary.

24. InternetingInterneting l Station A wants to send message to station D, but IP number is not in the same subnet -- no can do! l Sends the message to the default IP router -- default gateway l All stations belonging to the same subnet share the first three dotted quads. l 204.52.128.67 and 204.52.128.147 are in the same subnet, while 198.202.0.25 is not.
