2 Characteristics of communication links Internet concepts –Applications –Technology (connectivity) –Implications for Individuals Organizations Society Internet skills –Application development –Content creation Text Image Audio Video

3 Link characteristics 1.Speed 2.Latency 3.Jitter 4.Packet loss rate 5.Medium

4 Do you know the speed of the link between your home and your ISP? LAN router ISP router Home LAN The Internet

5 What is the unit of measure for data transmission speed? Measure ofExample unitsRate ratio DistanceInches, miles, light years Rate of movementMiles/hour, inches/year Distance/time WeightOunces, tons, grams Amount of dataBits, bytes, gigabytes Rate of data transmission ??

Note the asymmetry in upload and download speed.

The pattern continues -- each is 1,024 times the previous one.

10 Latency – the time for the first packet to arrive About half the ping (round trip) time

11 Jitter – variation in latency

13 Packet loss rate No packets lost -- packet loss is rare, but occurs

14 Packet loss rate from SLAC (Palo Alto, CA) Steady improvement everywhere but Africa All regions but Africa an parts of Asia are now under 1%

15 Current year data on Verizon backbone latency, packet loss rate and jitter http://www.verizonbusiness.com/about/network/latency/

16 Transfer rate from SLAC (Palo Alto, CA)

17 Copper, twisted pair Copper, coaxial cable Fiber Terrestrial radio Satellite radio Link medium

18 We just covered five characteristics of a communication link. Do you recall what they were?
