data
messages to be shared between sender and receiver
,
what does protocols establish ?
Protocols establish accurate and appropriate meaning to the messages that are understood by both senders and receivers
,
is the physical connection dependent of the physical connection ?
▪ Physical connection that is independent of the messaging ▪ message sharing “connection” between applications at the sender and the receiver ▪ physical connection with signaling that represents the messages being transported
,
examples of the Physical connection
▪ Examples ▪ POTS - plain old telephone service ▪ Web servers and Web browsers
,

Model of a Communication Channel
,
what are the limitations of communication tool
▪ Limitation as a communication tool is the varying message length ▪ Long messages could tie up a communication channel indefinitely creating problems for other messages that share that channel
,
what are the packets ?
* A group of related packets make up a single message ▪ Consist of data encapsulated by the packet header which contains information about the packet
,
what are the packets used ?
▪ Used to solve problems of channel availability and maximum utilization ▪ Equivalent to an envelope that contains pages of data
,
what is the packet Header named ?
▪ Also known as the preamble
,
what does the packet header contain?
▪ Contains * Description of the packet * Destination address of receiver * Source address of sender * Information about the data being sent
,
Advantages of Packets?
- ▪ Simplifies operations and increases communications efficiency 2. ▪ Reasonable unit for routing of data 3. ▪ Alternative to dedicating a channel for the entire length of the message 4. ▪ Packets from several sources can share a single channel 5. ▪ Each sender/receiver pair appears to have a channel to itself 6. ▪ Receiving computer can process an entire block of data instead of a character or byte at a time 7. ▪ Simplifies synchronization of the sending and receiving systems by providing clear start and stop point
,
what is the communication channel ?
▪ The path for the message between two communicating nodes ▪ May include intermediate nodes that forward packets to the next node ▪ Interfaces at each end of the connection may be differen
,
what is ▪ Links?
▪ A segment of a communication channel
,
what is the bandwidth ?
▪ Bit rate of overall channel
,
what is ▪ Medium parts ?
▪ Guided – communications limited to a specific path ▪ Unguided – communications not limited to a specific path
,

,
what are the ▪ Data transmission directionality?
▪ Simplex – messages are carried only in one direction ▪ Half-duplex – messages are carried in both directions but only one direction at a time ▪ Full duplex – messages are simultaneously carried in both directions
,
what are the numbers of connections ?
▪ Number of connections ▪ Point-to-point ▪ Multipoint
,
types of signaling ?
▪ Digital vs. Analog
,
what are End node interfaces types ?
▪ Wired or wireless Ethernet ▪ Bluetooth, WiMax, DSL or cable link, modem, etc.
,
what are the types of Packet Routing ?
- Circuit switching 2. Virtual circuit 3. Packet switching (datagram switching )
,
what are the circuit switching ?
▪ Circuit switching ▪ Dedicated channel between source and destination for duration of connection
