Common Communication Tasks

Data encoding: the process of transforming input data or
signals into signals that can be transmitted
Signal generation: generating appropriate electromagnetic 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
7
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
8
Addressing: indicating the identity of the intended

destination
Routing: 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
9
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
10
Communications Media
twisted pairs
coaxial cables
line-of-sight transmission: lasers, infra-red, microwave,
radio
satellite links
fiber optics
Power line
11
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
12
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
13
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
14
POSTECH LAN (1998.6)
15
POSTECH LAN (1999. 3)
16
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
17
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
23
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
24
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
25
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 electromechanical 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.
28
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.
29
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
30
Relation Between Layers at an Interface

SDU
SDU
SAP = Service Access Point
IDU = Interface Data Unit
SDU = Service Data Unit
PDU = Protocol Data Unit
ICI = Interface Control Information
Header
31
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).
32
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.
33
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
36
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
37

user and the Internet, specifically the World Wide Web
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
47
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
48
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
49
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.
