A node can be a computer, printer, or any other devices capable of sending and / or receiving data generated by other nodes on the network. The links connecting the devices are called communications channels. E.g. fiber optic link, satellite link. 1.2 COMPUTER NETWORKS Computer network means an interconnected collection of autonomous computers capable of having interconnections with each other. Computer network are generally organized as a series of layers or levels, each one built upon the one below it. 1.2.1 DESIGN ISSUES OF LAYERS Every layer needs a mechanism for identifying senders and receivers. A mean should be there for a process on one machine to specify with whom it wants to talk. Design decisions should concern the rules for data transfer. It can either be simplex or half- duplex or full – duplex communication. Error control is an important issue and any error – detecting or correcting codes must be known on both ends of the connections. Protocol that make explicit for the receiver to allow the pieces to be put back together properly. An issue that occurs at every level is how to keep, a fast sender from swapping a slow receiver with data. Issue that allows an arbitrarily long message to get accepted by the processes is, when there are multiple paths between source and destination, a route must be chosen. Sometimes this decision spilt over two or more layers. 1.3 NETWORK HARDWARE The physical devices that are used to establish and maintain the network are said to be Network Hardware. In addition to computers, Network hardware includes NIC, Hub, Switch, Router, Bridge and Gateway. Network Interface Card: It gives minimum eligibility for the nodes to be in networks. It can exist in either H/w or S/w form. It operates typically at Physical Layer. Repeater: It works like amplifier, i.e. It convert weak digital signal in to strong digital signal. It Operates at Physical Layer. Hub: It is a broadcasting device. Hence it stands for Hybrid Universal Broadcast. It operates at Physical and Data link Layers. There are 2 types of hubs: Active and Passive. Passive Hub is Just a Hub but Active hub can do repeater functionality also. © Copyright Reserved by Gateflix.in No part of this material should be copied or reproduced without permission Switch: It is a Uni casting device. There are two switch configurations: 2-layer and 3- layer. 2- Layer switch operates at Data link layer and 3-layer switch operates at Network layer. Router: It is to calculate the optimal route among network nodes. It operates at network and transport layers. Bridge: It is a forwarding device, used to connect two or more LANs or network segments. It operates at Data Link Layer. There are 3 types of bridges: Simple, Learning and Multi Port. Gateway: It is used as intermediate between two or more dissimilar networks. It is capable to convert one protocol format to another. It operates at all the layers. NOTE: Network Hardware, further discussed in detail in Chapter 4. 1.4 TYPES OF COMPUTER NETWORKS 1.4.1 LOCAL AREA NETWORKS (LAN) Local area networks (LAN) are privately – owned networks within a single building or campus of up to a few kilo meters in size e.g. Networks within IIT campus. 1.4.2 METROPOLITAN AREA NETWORK (MAN) Metropolitan area network (MAN) is basically a bigger version of a LAN and can support both data and voice. It covers a group of nearby corporate offices or a city and might be either private or public. E.g. Network connecting all IITs 1.4.3 WIDE AREA NETWORK (WAN) Wide area network (WAN) spans large geographical area, often a country or continent. It contains a collection of machines intended for running user programs. In most wide area network, the subnet consists of two distinct components: transmission lines and switching elements. Transmission lines move bits between machines. They can be made of copper wire, optical fiber, or even radio links. Switching elements are specialized computers that connect three or more transmission lines. When data arrive on an incoming line, the switching element must choose an outgoing line on which to forward them. These switching computers have been called by various names in the past; the name router is now most commonly used. 1.4.4 SYSTEM AREA NETWORKS (SAN) Another kind of network that we need to be aware of is SANs (system area networks). SANs are usually confined to a single room and connect the various components of a large computing system. For example, HiPPI (High Performance Parallel Interface) and Fiber Channel are two common SAN technologies used to connect massively parallel processors to scalable storage server and data vaults. (Because they often connect computers to © Copyright Reserved by Gateflix.in No part of this material should be copied or reproduced without permission storage servers, SANs are sometimes defined as storage area network s). e.g. Organization connected worldwide. 1.4.5 LINE CONFIGURATION Line configuration refers to the way two or more communication devices attach to link. There are two possible line configurations: i) Point- to - Point A point–to–point line configuration provides a dedicated link between two devices. ii) Multi point A multiport line configuration is one in which more than two specific devices share a single link. 1.5 NETWORK TOPOLOGY Topology refers to the way a network is laid out, either physically or logically. Two or more devices connect to a link, and then these two or more links form a topology. The topology of a network is the geometric representation of the relationship of all the links and linking devices (usually called nodes) to each other. Topology is the relative status of the devices to be linked. It can either be peer- to –peer, where the devices share the link equally or primary – secondary, where one devices controls traffic and the others must transmit through it.

  • Introduction to the Ipaddress Module
    Introduction to the ipaddress Module An Introduction to the ipaddress Module Overview: This document provides an introduction to the ipaddress module used in the Python language for manipulation of IPv4 and IPv6 addresses. At a high level, IPv4 and IPv6 addresses are used for like purposes and functions. However, since there are major differences in the address structure for each protocol, this tutorial has separated into separate sections, one each for IPv4 and IPv6. In today’s Internet, the IPv4 protocol controls the majority of IP processing and will remain so for the near future. The enhancements in scale and functionality that come with IPv6 are necessary for the future of the Internet and adoption is progressing. The adoption rate, however, remains slow to this date. IPv4 and the ipaddress Module: The following is a brief discussion of the engineering of an IPv4 address. Only topics pertinent to the ipaddress module are included. A IPv4 address is composed of 32 bits, organized into four eight bit groupings referred to as “octets”. The word “octet” is used to identify an eight-bit structure in place of the more common term “byte”, but they carry the same definition. The four octets are referred to as octet1, octet2, octet3, and octet4. This is a “dotted decimal” format where each eight-bit octet can have a decimal value based on eight bits from zero to 255. IPv4 example: 192.168.100.10 Every packet in an IPv4 network contains a separate source and destination address. As a unique entity, a IPv4 address should be sufficient to route an IPv4 data packet from the source address of the packet to the destination address of the packet on a IPv4 enabled network, such as the Internet.

  • CS5865 Laboratory #1 Notes File Transfer Protocols
    1 CS5865 Laboratory #1 Notes File Transfer Protocols - An Overview Dr. B.J. Kurz XMODEM (Ward Christensen, 1970), one of the earliest ‘industry standard’ file transfer protocols in the public domain. HDX operation, character (byte)-oriented, fixed-length 128-byte blocks, 8-bit characters (bytes), 8-bit BCC = sum-mod256, stop-wait ARQ, block counts, binary data capability. Poor error detection capability, typically 95%. data block format: SOH/count/1’s compl. count/ user data/BCC control block format: ACK or NAK (or C), EOT Several later versions of XMODEM are in use: XMODEM-CRC same as regular XMODEM above except uses 8-bit BCC = CRC-8 (some implementations use 16-bit BCC = CRC-16). Better error detection capability, typically 99.97% (for CRC-8). Some versions negotiate the error character generation method: the sender first tries sum- mod256 BCC, then switches to CRC-8 BCC after three unsuccessful attempts indicated by NAKs from the receiver. XMODEM-1K same as XMODEM-CRC except uses 1024-byte blocks for better throughput (fewer line- turn-arounds), but slightly degraded error detection performance. WXMODEM a sliding-window version of XMODEM. Group size is fixed as 4 blocks. Much improved throughput. FDX capable lines needed if continous-ARQ error recovery used. YMODEM (Chuck Forsberg) a variation of XMODEM-1K. Supports two block lengths of 128 bytes and 1024 bytes, uses 2-byte CRC-16, excellent error detection capability, typically 99.99%. KERMIT (Frank de Cruz, Columbia Univ. Comp. Center, N.Y), most popular file transfer protocol, copyrighted, over 200 implementations for various systems. This is a comprehensive 2 remote communications package including terminal emulators, storage-to-storage transfer, not only a file transfer protocol.

  • Effect of Sliding Window Techniques Over a Performance of Tcp/Ip Networks
    EFFECT OF SLIDING WINDOW TECHNIQUES OVER A PERFORMANCE OF TCP/IP NETWORKS ABBAS ABEDI JANUARY, 2018 EFFECT OF SLIDING WINDOWS TECHNIQUES OVER A PERFORMANCE OF TCP/IP NETWORKS A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF NATURAL AND APPLIED SCIENCES OF CANKAYA UNIVERSITY BY ABBAS ABEDI IN PARTIAL FULLFILLMENT OF a REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF SCIENCE IN THE DEPARTMENT OF ELECTRONICS AND COMMUNICATION ENGINEERING JANUARY, 2018 ABSTRACT EFFECT OF SLIDING WINDOWS TECHNIQUES OVER A PERFORMANCE OF TCP/IP NETWORKS ABEDI, Abbas M.Sc., Department of Electronics and Communication Engineering Supervisor: Asst. Prof. Dr. Barbaros PREVEZE January 2018 The communication channels have a variety of features in the communication system and networks, particularly wireless channels. It is used in transmissions between two nodes and deals with high error rates. Such errors that occur frequently which are not easy to be avoided, have the greatest effect on the performance of a network. So, it must be concluded that error rates are for different network conditions with use of different types of sliding windows techniques. In this thesis, error correcting techniques have been investigated based on a retransmission technique they used. One of the famous retransmission techniques is sliding windows technique, which it has three sub-algorithms called: stop and wait, selective repeat, and go back N. In this work, selective repeat and go back N algorithms were taken into account, but a stop and wait algorithm was not considered since it doesn’t use any window structure in their retransmissions. Also, it always has a high delay amount with less performance compared to the selective repeat and go back N techniques.

  • The Kermit File Transfer Protocol
    THE KERMIT FILE TRANSFER PROTOCOL Frank da Cruz February 1985 This is the original manuscript of the Digital Press book Kermit, A File Transfer Protocol, ISBN 0-932976-88-6, Copyright 1987, written in 1985 and in print from 1986 until 2001. This PDF file was produced by running the original Scribe markup-language source files through the Scribe publishing package, which still existed on an old Sun Solaris computer that was about to be shut off at the end of February 2016, and then converting the resulting PostScript version to PDF. Neither PostScript nor PDF existed in 1985, so this result is a near miracle, especially since the last time this book was "scribed" was on a DECSYSTEM-20 for a Xerox 9700 laser printer (one of the first). Some of the tables are messed up, some of the source code comes out in the wrong font; there's not much I can do about that. Also (unavoidably) the page numbering is different from the printed book and of couse the artwork is missing. Bear in mind Kermit protocol and software have seen over 30 years of progress and development since this book was written. All information herein regarding the Kermit Project, how to get Kermit software, or its license or status, etc, is no longer valid. The Kermit Project at Columbia University survived until 2011 but now it's gone and all Kermit software was converted to Open Source at that time. For current information, please visit the New Open Source Kermit Project website at http://www.kermitproject.org (as long as it lasts).
