CSMA/CD • When a station wishes to transmit, it checks the network to determine whether another station is transmitting • If network is free, the station proceeds with the transmission • While sending, the station monitors the network to ensure that no other station is transmitting • If a transmitting node recognizes a collision, it transmits a jam signal so that all other nodes recognize collision • All transmitting nodes then stop sending for a backoff time (randomly 2n - of 51.2μs) CSMA/CD Algorithm Ethernet’s CSMA/CD (more) Back… Jam Signal: make sure all other transmitters are aware of collision; 48 bits; Exponential Backoff: • If deterministic delay after collision, collision will occur again in lockstep • If random delay with fixed mean – Few senders Calculating Backoff Given Internal Using in ptithcm needless waiting – Too many senders t too many collisions • Goal: adapt retransmission attempts to estimated current load – heavy load: random wait will be longer Devices function at Layers LAN DEVICES LAN Media Symbols LAN Device: Transceiver UTP Ethernet Line Token Ring Serial Line FDDI Ring 10Base-T: Transceiver 10Base- AUI BNC • Connect different media technologies • Layer device LAN Device: Repeater • Expanding the capacity of communication distance • Regenerates and repeats the signal with the determinate level of voltage • Layer device Internal Using in ptithcm 10/100 Base-T: Repeater Base- • Regenerates signals: • Enables cables to extend farther to reach longer distances • Increase number of nodes that can be connected to a network • Cannot filter traffic LAN Device: Hub • A multi-port repeater • • • • • Layer device Multi port repeater Center of a star topology network Allows many devices to be inter-connected Receives signals from only a port then broadcasts to others Shared bandwidth Cannot filter traffic 10Base-T: Hub 10Base- Layer Devices • NIC (Network Interface Card) • Connect your computer with network • Provide MAC addresses to each connection • Implement CSMA/CD algorithm • Bridge • Forward or filter frame by MAC address • Switch • Multi-port bridge LAN Device: NIC NIC • Network interface of hosts • Build-in physical address • Layer device Internal Using in ptithcm 10 NIC (cont.) • Provides ports for network connection • When selecting a network card, consider: Type of network: • Ethernet • Token Ring • FDDI Type of media • Twisted-pair • Coaxial • Fiber-optic Type of system bus • PCI • ISA Bridge NIC: Layer functions • Logical link control (LLC): communicates with upper layers in the computer • Naming: provides a unique MAC address identifier • Framing: part of the encapsulation process, packaging the bits for transport • Media Access Control (MAC): provides structured access to shared access media • Signaling: creates signals and interface with the media LAN Device: Bridge • Connects network segments • Make intelligent decisions about whether to pass signals on to the next segment • Improve network performance by eliminating unnecessary traffic and minimizing the chances of collisions • Divides traffic into segments and filters traffic based on MAC address • Often pass frames b/w networks operating under different Layer protocols • Keeps traffic local by filtering traffic based on physical addresses • Layer device Segmentation with bridges Internal Using in ptithcm LAN Segmentation 11 Segmentation with routers LAN Device: Switch • A multi-port bridge • Layer device LAN Switch: MAC table Benefits of LAN Switch • No collision domain, because of micro-segmentation • Low latency levels and a high rate of speed for frame forwarding • Increases the bandwidth available on a network • Is performed in hardware instead of in software, it is significantly faster Issues of LAN Switch • All hosts connected to the switch are still in the same broadcast domain • Security problem within a broadcast domain • Solutions ? • VLAN? • How does it work? VLAN & Implementation • Each port can be assigned to a VLAN • Ports assigned to the same VLAN share broadcasts • Ports that not belong to that VLAN not share these broadcasts • Two methods that can be used to assign a switch port to a VLAN: • Static • Dynamic Internal Using in ptithcm 12 Transport of VLANs Benefits of VLAN • Reduce administration costs – moves, additions changes • Controlled broadcast activity • Workgroup and network security • Save money by using existing hubs Static VLAN Static VLAN • Ports on switch that is statically assigned to a VLAN • Require administrator to make changes • Secure • Easy to configure • Straightforward to monitor • Works well in which moves are controlled and managed Dynamic VLAN Dynamic VLAN • Ports on switch automatically determine their VLAN assignments • Based on MAC addresses, logical addressing etc… • Less administration with in wiring closet when a user moves or new one added • Centralized notification when an unrecognized user is added • More administration is required to initially set up database Internal Using in ptithcm 13 ... of WLAN: – Infrastructure network – Ad - h network oc • Internal Using in ptithcm 802.11 Ad Hoc Networking 802.11 infrastructure Networking •Station (STA) • Peer t p network - o eer • Set up temporarily... used local area network (LAN) technology Media Access Control • Ethernet was designed to carry data at high speeds for very limited distances • Ethernet is well suited to applications where a local. .. bridge to other (wired) networks BSS2 STA2 – group of stations using the same radio frequency •Distribution System 802.11 LAN STA3 – interconnection network to form one logical network (ESS: Extended
