A
  • Consider PHY/data link layer issues when routing across WANs
  • Poor connectivity across fiber link
  • Loss budget expresses amount of loss from attenuation, connectors,
    and splices measured in dB

Q

Process of Encapsulation

A

When a message is sent from one node to another, it travels down the stack of layers on the sending node, reaches the receiving node using the transmission media, and then passes up the stack on that node. At each level (except the physical layer), the sending node adds a header to the data payload, forming a “chunk” of data called a protocol data unit (PDU).

Q

Physical Topology

A

The layout of nodes and links as established by the transmission media. An area of a larger network is called a segment. A network is typically divided into segments to cope with the physical restrictions of the network media used, to improve performance, or to improve security. At the Physical layer, a segment is where all the nodes share access to the same media.

Q

Devices that operate at the data link layer include:

A

Network adapter or network interface card (NICs)—An NIC joins an end system host to network media (cabling or wireless) and enables it to communicate over the network by assembling and disassembling frames.
Bridge—A bridge is a type of intermediate system that joins physical network segments while minimizing the performance reduction of having more nodes on the same network. A bridge has multiple ports, each of which functions as a network interface.
Switch—An advanced type of bridge with many ports. A switch creates links between large numbers of nodes more efficiently.
Wireless access point (AP)—An AP allows nodes with wireless network cards to communicate and creates a bridge between wireless networks and wired ones.

Q

Which layers in the OSI model is the port number ignored?

A

At the network and data link layer and it becomes part of the data payload and is invisible to the routers and switches that implement the addressing and forwarding functions of these layers. At the receiving host, each segment is decapsulated, identified by its port number, and passed to the relevant handler at the application layer. Put another way, the traffic stream is de-multiplexed.

If changes are required, a new RFC is published with a new number. Not all RFCs describe standards. Some are designated informational, while others are experimental.

Q

MMF is graded by Optical Multimode (OM) categories, defined in the ISO/IEC 11801 standard:

A

OM1/OM2—62.5-micron cable is OM1, while early 50-micron cable is OM2. OM1 and OM2 are mainly rated for applications up to 1 Gbps and use LED transmitters.
OM3/OM4—these are also 50-micron cable, but manufactured differently, designed for use with 850 nm Vertical-Cavity Surface-Emitting Lasers (VCSEL), also referred to as laser optimized MMF (LOMMF). A VCSEL is not as powerful as the solid-state lasers used for SMF, but it supports higher modulation (transmitting light pulses rapidly) than LED-based optics.
