Unit-1.4 Data Communication

This document provides information about data communication and computer networks. It defines key terms like telecommunication, data, and data communication. It explains that a network connects devices called nodes that can send and receive data. It also describes different types of network topologies like mesh, star, bus, ring, and hybrid topologies. The document then covers wide area networks (WANs) and heterogeneous networks. It provides an overview of the OSI model including its layers and functions. It also compares the OSI model to the TCP/IP model. Finally, it discusses different types of addressing used in TCP/IP including physical, logical, and port addressing.

Data Communication

▪ The term telecommunication means communication at


a distance.
▪ The word data refers to information presented in
whatever form is agreed upon by the parties creating
and using the data.
▪ Data communications are the exchange of data
between two devices via some form of transmission
medium such as a wire cable.
Data Flow
Computer Networks

A network is a set of devices or nodes


connected by communication links.
A node can be a computer, printer, or any
other device capable of sending and/or
receiving data generated by other nodes
on the network.
Types of connections: point-to-point and multipoint

Categories of topology

1.5
Mesh Topology (five devices)

1.6
star topology connecting four stations

1.7
A bus topology connecting three stations

1.10

OSI Model
OSI Model
▪ Established in 1947, the International Standards
Organization (ISO) is a multinational body dedicated to
worldwide agreement on international standards.
▪ An ISO standard that covers all aspects of network
communications is the Open Systems Interconnection
(OSI) model.
▪ It was first introduced in the late 1970s.
▪ An Open system is a set of protocol that allows any
two different system to communicate regardless of
their underlying architecture.
OSI Model
▪ OSI model is not protocol; It is a model for
understanding and designing a network architecture
that is flexible, robust and interoperable.
▪ Consist of seven separate but related layers.
Interfaces and Layered Architecture
Encapsulation
Layers in the OSI Model
1. Physical Layer:
▪ Coordinates the functions required to carry a bit
stream over a physical medium.
▪ Responsible for the movement of individual bits from
one hop (node) to the next.
Physical Layer
Layers in the OSI Model
Physical Layer concerned with the following:
▪ Physical Characteristics of interface and media.
▪ Representation of bits.
▪ Data Rate/Transmission Rate.
▪ Synchronization of bits.
▪ Line Configuration.
▪ Physical Topology.
▪ Transmission Mode.
Layers in the OSI Model
2. Data Link Layer:
▪ Transform the physical layer, a raw transmission
facility, to a reliable link.
▪ Responsible for the movement of frames from one
hop (node) to the next.
Data Link Layer
Layers in the OSI Model
Data Link Layer concerned with the following:
▪ Framing
▪ Physical Addressing
▪ Flow Control
▪ Error Control
▪ Access Control

3. Network Layer:
▪ Ensures that each packet gets from its point of origin
to its final destination.
Network Layer concerned with the following:
▪ Logical Addressing
▪ Routing

4. Transport Layer:
▪ The transport layer is responsible for the delivery of a
message from one process to another.

Transport Layer concerned with the following:


Service-Point Addressing, Segmentation and Reassembly,
Connection Control, Flow Control, Error Control

5. Session Layer:
▪ The session layer establishes, maintains and
synchronizes the interaction between communicating
systems.

Session layer concerned with the following:


• Dialog Control
• Synchronization
Layers in the OSI Model
6. Presentation Layer:
▪ Concerned with the syntax and semantics of the
information exchanged between two systems.

Presentation layer concerned with the following:


• Translation
• Encryption
• Compression
Layers in the OSI Model
6. Application Layer:
▪ Enables the user, whether human or network, to
access the network, provide user interface.

Application layer provides the following services:


Network Virtual Terminal, E-mail Services, File Transfer, Access
and Management (FTAM), Directory Services
Summary of layers
TCP/IP Model
TCP/IP model
Developed prior to OSI Model.
TCP/IP model
Comparison between OSI and TCP/IP Model
Similarities:
1. Stack of independent protocols.
2. Roughly similar functionalities.
3. Layers above transport layer are application oriented.

Differences:
Three concepts are central to OSI Model:
1. Services
2. Interfaces
3. Protocols
OSI Model makes distinction between them explicitly.
Comparison between OSI and TCP/IP Model
1. Services
Each layer some service s for the layer above it.
Defines what layer does.
Not how entities above it access it or how layers works?
2. Interfaces:
Tells the processes above it how to access it.
Defines parameters and results.
3. Protocols:
Provides the offered services by any protocol.
Should not affect the functionalities of above layers.
Comparison between OSI and TCP/IP Model
▪ TCP/IP did not clearly distinguish between service,
interface and protocols.
▪ The protocols in the OSI model are better hidden than in
the TCP/IP model, can be replaced easily.
▪ The OSI reference model devised first before the
corresponding protocols were invented, i.e. DLL.
▪ With TCP/IP, the reverse is true.
▪ Number of Layers.
▪ Connection oriented vs. connection less approach at
different layers.

Addressing
▪ Four levels of addresses are used in an internet
employing the TCP/IP protocols: Physical, Logical, Port,
and Specific.
Addressing
Addressing
1. Physical Address:
▪ Address of a node as defined by its LAN or WAN.
▪ Included in the Frame used by Data Link Layer.
▪ Lowest Level Address
▪ Ethernet uses 6-byte (48 bits) physical Address
imprinted on the NIC.
▪ LocalTalk has a 1-byte dynamic address.
Addressing
1. Physical Address:
Example:
A node with physical address 10 sends a frame to a
node with physical address 87. The two nodes are
connected by a link (bus topology LAN).
Addressing
1. Physical Address:
Example:
Most local-area networks use a 48-bit (6-byte)
physical address written as 12 hexadecimal digits;
every byte (2 hexadecimal digits) is separated by a
colon, as shown below:

07:01:02:01:2C:4B

A 6-byte (12 hexadecimal digits) physical address.

Unicast, Multicast and Broadcast Physical Addresses


Addressing
2. Logical Address:
▪ Necessary for universal communications that are
independent of physical networks.
▪ 32-bits address with IPv4.
▪ No two publically addressed and visible hosts on
the Internet can have the same IP address.
Addressing
2. logical Address:
Example:
An internet with two routers connecting three LANs is
shown in the next diagram.
Each device (computer or router) has a pair of
addresses (logical and physical) for each connection.
Each router, is connected to three networks. So, each
router has three pairs of addresses, one for each
connection.
Addressing

Unicast, Multicast and Broadcast Physical Addresses


Addressing
3. Port Address:
▪ IP and Physical address are required for data travel
from source to destination host.
▪ The end objective of any communication is to
deliver the data to right process.
▪ Port address unequally identifies the process
running on node.
▪ 16 bits in length.
Addressing
3. Port Address:
Example
Next diagram shows two computers communicating via
the Internet.
The sending computer is running three processes at
this time with port addresses a, b, and c.
The receiving computer is running two processes at this
time with port addresses j and k.
Process a in the sending computer needs to
communicate with process j in the receiving computer.
Note that although physical addresses change from
hop to hop, logical and port addresses remain the same
from the source to destination.
