Common Communication Tasks

Data encoding: the process of transforming input data or signals into signals that can be transmitted

Signal generation: generating appropriate electro-magnetic signals to be transmitted over a transmission medium

Synchronization: timing of signals between the transmitter and receiver ; when a signal begins and when it ends; duration of each signal

8


Error detection and correction: ensuring that transmission errors are detected and corrected

Flow control: ensuring that the source does not overwhelm the destination by sending data faster than the receiver can handle

Multiplexing: a technique used to make more efficient use of a transmission facility. This technique is used at different levels of communication

9


Addressing: indicating the identity of the intended destinationRouting: selecting appropriate paths for data being transmitted

Message formatting: conforming to the appropriate format of the message to be exchanged

Security: ensuring secure message transmission

Systems management: configuring the system, monitoring its status, reacting to failures and overloads, and planning for future growth

Communication Network

A communication network is a collection of devices connected by some communications media

• Example devices are:– mainframes, minicomputers, supercomputers

– workstations, personal computers

– printers, disk servers, robots

– X-terminals

– Gateways, switches, routers, bridges

– Cellular phone, Pager, TRS

– Refrigerator, Television, Video Tape Recorder

11


• Communications Media– twisted pairs

– coaxial cables

– line-of-sight transmission: lasers, infra-red, microwave, radio

– satellite links

– fiber optics

– Power line

12


Network Structures

Point-to-Point Networks

• each communication line connects a pair of nodes

• a packet (or message) is transmitted from one node to another

• intermediate nodes, in general, receive and store entire packet and then forward to the next node

• also called “store-and-forward” or “pack-switched”

• some topologies: star, ring, tree

13


Broadcast Networks

• have a single communication line shared by all computers on the network

• packets sent by a host are received by all computers

• some topologies: bus, satellite, radio

14


Types of Communication Networks

• Local Area Networks (LANs)

– < a few km

– high data transmission rate (at least several Mbps)

– ownership usually by a single organization

– e. g., Ethernet, IBM Token Ring, Token Bus, FDDI, Fast Ethernet, ATM, Gigabit Ethernet

15


POSTECH LAN (1998.6)

16


POSTECH LAN (1999. 3)

17


• Metropolitan Area Networks (MANs)

– up to 50 km

– fibre optics is a popular technology for MANs

– may be private or public

– may involve a number of organizations

– e.g., cable TV networks (CATV), ATM networks

18


• Wide Area Networks (WANs)

– a few km to thousands of km

– point-to-point networks (also called long-haul networks)

– lower data transmission rate than LANs

– fiber optics is a popular technology for MANs ownership usually by more than a single organization

– e.g., ARPANET, MILNET (US military), CA*NET, NSFNET, KREONET, BoraNet, KORNET, INET, Internet

Computer Communication Architecture

• Computer Communication – the exchange of information between computers for the purpose of cooperative action

• Computer Network – a collection of computers interconnected via a communication network

24


• Protocol – agreement required between the communication entities and consists of three components:

Syntax: data format and signal levels

Semantics: control information for coordination and error handling

Timing: speed matching and sequencing

• Communications Architecture – a structured set of modules that implements the communication function

25


ISO-OSI Reference Model

• International Standards Organization (ISO) – Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) Reference model is a framework for connecting computers on a network

• Motivation?– to reduce the complexity of networking software

– as a step towards international standardization of the various protocols

26


• The main principles applied to the OSI layered architecture are

– each layer represents a layer of abstraction,

– each performs a set of well-defined functions,

– implementation of a layer should not affect adjacent layers, and inter-layer communication should be minimized

Functions of the OSI Layers

1. Physical layer – responsible for the electro-mechanical interface to the communications media

2. Data link layer – responsible for transmission, framing and error control over a single communications link.

3. Network layer – responsible for data transfer across the network, independent of both the media comprising the underlying subnetworks and the topology of those subnetworks.

29


4. Transport layer – responsible for reliability and multiplexing of data transfer across the network (over and above that provided by the network layer) to the level required by the application.

5. Session layer – responsible for establishing,, and managing sessions between cooperating applications.

6. Presentation layer – responsible for providing independence to the application process from differences in data representation (syntax).

7. Application layer – ultimately responsible for managing the communications between applications.

30


How Communication Takes Place Between the Layers

• communication takes place between peer entities.

• a layer provides services to the layer above it.

• services are available at SAPs (Service Access Points) – analogous to telephone numbers and street addresses

31

32


• On the sending side:

– a layer receives a PDU (Protocol Data Unit) from the layer above it, with some ICI (Interface Control Information) (such as address, data size, etc.).

– the layer ads some PCI (Protocol control Information) to the APDU and passes the enlarged PDU to the layer below along with more ICI.

– A layer may also fragment a PDU into several smaller pieces to be passed separately to the layer below (in this case, the peer entity at the receiving end will reassemble the fragments).

33


• At the receiving end:

– a layer receives a PDU from the layer below.

– The layer strips off the PCI added by its peer, and passes the PDU to the layer above it.

– If the sending layer fragmented a PDU, its peer is responsible for reassembling it before passing it up.

34


Other Communication Models

The Anarchistic Network Model

• have been used mostly in PCs

The TCP/IP Model

• only 5 layers exist

• used mostly in Internet network applications

Communication Service Types

• Connection-oriented service

– modeled after the telephone system

– must establish a connection before use, and terminates the connection when finished.

– FIFO guaranteed.

– the path from the sender to receiver is fixed.

– resources are pre-allocated at setup time

37


• Connectionless service

– modeled after the postal system

– no connection required, but instead full addressing required in each message

– FIFO not guaranteed.

– the path is not fixed

– resources are dynamically allocated

38

• The browser acts on behalf of the user. The browser:– contacts a web server and sends a request for information

– receives the information and then displays it on the user's computer

• The browser can be graphical or text-based and can make the Internet easier to use and more intuitive

• The helper applications are automatically invoked by the browser when a user selects a link to a resource that requires them

• A Web browser can be used on most of computers

48


Web Server

• Also known as HTTP Server or HTTP Daemon

• The repository of web pages of which types are HTML and any application data with MIME type

• Listens for HTTP requests from the web browsers, serves those requests

• Designed to communicate with web browsers using HTTP protocol

• Typically runs on general purpose computer

49


HTML

• consists of standardized codes,or "tags", that are used to define the structure of information on a web page

• defines several aspects of a web page including heading levels, bold, italics, images, paragraph breaks and hypertext links to other resources.

• a sub-language of SGML (Standard Generalized Markup Language) that defines and standardizes the structure of documents.

• standardized and portable: A document that has been prepared using HTML can be viewed using a variety of web browsers, such as Netscape and Lynx

50


HTTP

• the set of rules, or protocol, that governs the transfer of hypertext between two or more computers.

• Based on Client/Server paradigm

• Convey variety of Internet resources: HTML documents, text files, graphics, animation and sound

• HTTP also provides access to other Internet protocols, among them:

– File Transfer Protocol (FTP)

– Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP)

– Network News Transfer Protocol (NNTP)

– etc.

51
