Objectives:
This session deals with Network Protocols - at another important
component of computer networks. The major LAN protocol differentiator ie
Media Access methods are described and then the session goes on to LAN
devices. From the standards OSI reference model to TCP/IP model it
discusses all major network protocols.
At the end of the session you will know
1. Why network protocols
2. Why different media access methods
3. Different LAN devices
4. TCP/IP – an Internetworking Protocol
The OSI model has seven layers. The principles that were applied to arrive
at the seven layers are as follows:
1. A layer should be created where a different level of abstraction is
needed. (Ex: When you browse Internet, you just need how to type
URL in the Address Bar of IE. You just not bothered about, how this
address flows and reaches the right computer. You don’t even know
A noise burst on the line can destroy a frame completely. In this case, the
data link layer software on the source machine must retransmit the frame.
However, multiple transmissions of the same frame introduce the possibility
of duplicate frames. A duplicate frame could be sent, for example, if the
acknowledgment frame from the receiver back to the sender was destroyed.
It is up to this layer to solve the problems caused by damaged and duplicate
frames.
Another issue that arises in the data link layer (and most of the higher
layers as well) is how to keep a fast transmitter from drowning a slow
receiver in data. Some traffic regulation mechanism must be employed in
order to let the transmitter know how much buffer space the receiver has at
the moment. Frequently, flow regulation and error handling are integrated,
for convenience.
pin is used for. The design issues here deal largely with mechanical,
electrical, and procedural interfaces, and the physical transmission medium,
which lies below the physical layer. Physical layer design can properly be
considered to be within the domain of the electrical engineer.

it is incapable of also listening for other traffic. This is much like a walkie-
talkie. When one person wants to talk, he presses the transmit button and
begins speaking. While he is talking, no one else on the same frequency can
talk. When the sending person is finished, he releases the transmit button
and the frequency is available to others.
Token-passing networks such as Token Ring can also benefit from network
switches. In large networks, the delay between turns to transmit may be
significant because the token is passed around the network.

2.2.3 BroadcastTransmission
A broadcast transmission consists of a single data packet that is copied and
sent to all nodes on the network. In these types of transmissions, the source
node addresses the packet by using the broadcast address. The packet is
then sent on to the network, which makes copies of the packet and sends a
copy to every node on the network.
2.3.1 Repeater
A repeater is a physical layer device used to interconnect the media
segments of an extended network. A repeater essentially enables a series of
cable segments to be treated as a single cable. Repeaters receive signals
from one network segment and amplify, retime, and retransmit those signals
to another network segment. These actions prevent signal deterioration
caused by long cable lengths and large numbers of connected devices.
Repeaters are incapable of performing complex filtering and other traffic
processing. In addition, all electrical signals, including electrical
disturbances and other errors, are repeated and amplified.
2.3.2 Hub
A hub is a physical layer device that connects multiple user stations, each via a dedicated cable.
Electrical interconnections are established inside the hub. Hubs are used to create a physical star
network while maintaining the logical bus or ring configuration of the LAN. In some respects, a
hub functions as a multiport repeater.
Bluetooth:
Essentially Bluetooth is the term used to describe the protocol of a short range (10 meter)
frequency-hopping radio link between devices. These devices are then termed Bluetooth -
enabled.
3. Internetworking Protocol – TCP/IP
Today, the Internet and World Wide Web (WWW) are familiar terms to
millions of people all over the world. Many people depend on applications
enabled by the Internet, such as electronic mail and Web access. In
addition, the increase in popularity of business applications places
additional emphasis on the Internet. The Transmission Control
Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) protocol suite is the engine for the
Internet and networks worldwide. Its simplicity and power has lead to its
becoming the single network protocol of choice in the world today. The
TCP/IP protocol suite is so named for two of its most important protocols:
Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) and Internet Protocol (IP). A less used
name for it is the Internet Protocol Suite, which is the phrase used in official
Internet standards documents.
In most cases, networks are limited in size by the number of users that can
belong to the network, by the maximum geographical distance that the
network can span, or by the applicability of the network to certain
environments. For example, an Ethernet network is inherently limited in
terms of geographical size. Hence, the ability to interconnect a large
number of networks in some hierarchical and organized fashion enables the
communication of any two hosts belonging to this internetwork.
layer provides the ability to transfer data from one host to another without
any guarantee to reliable delivery or duplicate suppression. Transport
protocols such as TCP make use of this service to provide applications with
reliable, in-order, data stream delivery. The TCP/IP protocols are modeled in
four layers.
does not provide reliability, flow control, or error recovery. These functions
must be provided at a higher level. IP provides a routing function that
attempts to deliver transmitted messages to their destination. A message
unit in an IP network is called an IP datagram. This is the basic unit of
information transmitted across TCP/IP networks. Other internetwork layer
protocols are IP – Internet Protocol, ICMP – Internet Control Message
Protocols, IGMP – Internet Group Message Protocol, ARP – Address
Resolution Protocol and RARP – Reverse Address Resolution Protocol.
