CoE 542 Lesson 4 - OSI Model

OSI (Open System Interconnect) - reference model

Headers and Trailers
Packet or Frame


7 Layer of OSI Model

  1. Application- used by human or software
  2. Presentation- encryption, format
  3. Session- establish, maintains, terminate connection
  4. Transport- delivery of the entire message
    segmentation and reassembly 
  5. Network- source-to-destination delivery of a packet
    logical address
    routing
  6. Data Link- node-to-node delivery of a packet
    physical address
  7. Physical- data transmission, media, signal, etc.

CoE 542 Lesson 3 - Protocols

Protocols - set of rules

  • syntax
  • symantics
  • timing

Standards- "interoperability"

  1. "de facto"- supported by users/ consumers
  2. "de jure"- created by a standard making body/
Standard Organizations
  1. ISO
  2. ITU-T
  3. ANSI
  4. IEEE
  5. EIA
Regulatory Agency
  1. FCC

CoE 542 Lesson 1- Basic Concepts

This is an introduction to the basic concepts of Data Communication and Networking. Topics outlined is referenced from the book Data Communication and Networking by Behrouz Forouzan.

Data Communication - exchange of data
Networking - "share resource"
Resource - files, printer, CPU, memory, etc.
Distributed Processing-  task is divided

Fundamental Characteristics of Data Communication

  1. timeliness
  2. delivery
  3. accuracy
Network Criteria
  1. Performance
  2. Reliability
  3. Security

Components of Communication

  1. sender- computer or node
  2. receiver- computer or node
  3. media- wired or wireless
  4. message- signal transmission
  5. protocol- language of communication
bit (mbps) v.s. Byte (MBps)
baud rate v.s. bit rate/ signals per second vs bit per second

Transmission Modes
  1. Simplex- one direction at all time
  2. Half-duplex- both direction one at a time
  3. Full duplex- Both direction at any time
Line Configuration
  1. Point-to-point- "dedicated" line
  2. Multipoint- "shared" line
Physical Topology- refers to the physical layout of the network

  1. bus- "broadcast"/ multipoint
  2. ring- "point-to-point"
  3. star- hub
  4. mesh- dedicated line
    full mesh- each have dedicated line (no. of lines = (no. of nodes) (no. of nodes -1) / 2)
Categories of Network
  1. LAN
  2. MAN
  3. WAN
