5.  To introduce the subject content of Advanced Computer Networks (545).  At the end of the session you will get a brief idea about data communication and computer networks. M.Sc. in IT - Year 1 Semester II - 2012

6.  You will be learning about two major parts in Networking in this lecture series.  Data Communication ▪ Data transmission ▪ Signals ▪ Transmission media and characteristics  Computer Networking ▪ Networks (LAN,MAN,WAN,PAN) ▪ Core and Access Networks (WAN) ▪ Standard Bodies M.Sc. in IT - Year 1 Semester II - 2012

7.  Transporting data/information from one place to another.  Data is in Memory.  A series of - 1000101010101110.  Originates from applications.  Data are converted to Signals when travelling. M.Sc. in IT - Year 1 Semester II - 2012

8. ID for data, ID for destination M.Sc. in IT - Year 1 Semester II - 2012 Coding DataSecurity Encryption Compressio n Dividing to sessions Application Handle errors Convert data to signal Transmission media Error correction

9.  All Signals travels as Electro Magnetic waves.  There are three main types of signals ▪ Electrical signals ▪ Optical signals ▪ Transmitting in Free Space M.Sc. in IT - Year 1 Semester II - 2012

10.  Signals travel through transmission media.  Speed of the signal depends on transmission media.  Frequency can be in Hz, MHz, KHz, GHz, or THz.

12.  AM Radio – in KHz range  FM Radio/TV – in MHz range  Mobile/satellite/Microwave – in GHz range  Optical signals – in THz range  Optical signal range is divided in to two, ▪ Visible range (from Violet to Red) ▪ Invisible range (Infrared - IR, ultraviolet – UV) M.Sc. in IT - Year 1 Semester II - 2012

13.  Guided Media (copper, fiber)  Unguided Media (Radio)  Characteristics of transmission media  Why we learn? To identify and eliminate errors occurring when transmitting data and to make further decisions. M.Sc. in IT - Year 1 Semester II - 2012

14.  PAN (Personnel area Networks)  For private connections  Eg :- data transmission between a Mobile phone and a Notebook  LAN (Local Area Networks)  For a small geographical area  Speed - Ethernet M.Sc. in IT - Year 1 Semester II - 2012

15.  MAN (Metropolitan Area Networks)  Several KM of area  Fiber optic networks  Speed – Metro Ethernet  WAN (Wide Area Networks)  For a large area  A public network. M.Sc. in IT - Year 1 Semester II - 2012 Computer Networks

16.  You will learn about,  Behavior of LAN’s and Standards,  Ethernet M.Sc. in IT - Year 1 Semester II - 2012

17.  You will learn about,  Core Networks and  Access Networks M.Sc. in IT - Year 1 Semester II - 2012 Core Network Access Network

18.  Access Network is from customer premises to service providers’ network.  Access Networks are divided as,  Fixed Access Networks and  Mobile Access Networks  Fixed Access Networks are further divided as,  Fixed Wired Access Networks and  Fixed Warless Access Networks M.Sc. in IT - Year 1 Semester II - 2012

19.  Copper  Initially 4 KHz  Has used broadband technology to broaden the bandwidth (ADSL)  Fiber  FTTH (Fiber To The Home)  Copper and Fiber  FTTN/FTTC (Fiber To The Node/ Fiber To The Cabinet)  FTTB (Fiber To The Building) M.Sc. in IT - Year 1 Semester II - 2012

20.  FDMA – (Frequency Division Multiple Access)  TDMA – (Time Division Multiple Access)  CDMA – (Code Division Multiple Access) Mobile Access Networks  Mobile generations M.Sc. in IT - Year 1 Semester II - 2012

21.  Requires high bandwidth  Use fiber optic cables  By using WDM (Wave length Division Multiplexing) one fiber can act as many fibers.  Data should be multiplexed before transmitting through fiber or can get data as an Ethernet and transmit.  Can share bandwidth using MPLS.

22.  MPLS (Multi Protocol Label Switching) etc, Standard Bodies  ITUT  IEEE etc M.Sc. in IT - Year 1 Semester II - 2012
