Emergence of High-Speed LANsEmergence of High-Speed LANs
2 Significant trends– Computing power of PCs continues to grow
rapidly– Network computing
Examples of requirements– Centralized server farms– Power workgroups– High-speed local backbone

Classical EthernetClassical Ethernet
Bus topology LAN10 MbpsCSMA/CD medium access control
protocol2 problems:
– A transmission from any station can be received by all stations
– How to regulate transmission
Chapter 6 High-Speed LANs6
Solution to First ProblemSolution to First Problem
Data transmitted in blocks called frames:– User data– Frame header containing unique address of
destination station

1. If the medium is idle, transmit.2. If the medium is busy, continue to listen until
the channel is idle, then transmit immediately.3. If a collision is detected during transmission,
immediately cease transmitting.4. After a collision, wait a random amount of
time, then attempt to transmit again (repeat from step 1).

Hubs and SwitchesHubs and Switches
Hub Transmission from a station received by central
hub and retransmitted on all outgoing lines Only one transmission at a time
Layer 2 Switch Incoming frame switched to one outgoing line Many transmissions at same time

Bridge Frame handling done
in software Analyze and forward
one frame at a time Store-and-forward
Layer 2 Switch Frame handling done
in hardware Multiple data paths
and can handle multiple frames at a time
Can do cut-through

Layer 2 SwitchesLayer 2 Switches
Flat address spaceBroadcast stormOnly one path between any 2 devices
Solution 1: subnetworks connected by routers
Solution 2: layer 3 switching, packet-forwarding logic in hardware

Fibre ChannelFibre Channel
2 methods of communication with processor:– I/O channel– Network communications
Fibre channel combines both– Simplicity and speed of channel
communications– Flexibility and interconnectivity of network
communications
