Types of Networks
LANS

- Local Area Networks MANS - Metropolitan Area Networks WANS - Wide Area Networks

Physical Topologies
Defines how systems are

connected together - Not the protocols in use Bus Topology Ring Topology Star Topology

FORESEC Academy

Logical Topologies
Independent of physical Topologies Logical Topologies

- Ethernet - Token Ring - Fiber Distributed Data Interface (FDDI) - Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) - High Level Data Link Control (HDLC) - Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) - X.25

Ethernet
Ethernet is baseband or shared media Only one station is allowed to be transmitting

at any given time within a single collision domain All stations are required to listen before they transmit All stations are required to monitor their transmission to check for collisions CSMA/CD

FORESEC Academy

Token Ring and FDDI

Communication is token-based Each station condition/amplifies the

token as it is passed Typically, only one token is allowed per ring; however, there can be two (early release) FDDI adds a second ring for fault tolerance

Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM)

Encapsulates common protocols Uses Virtual Path Identifiers (VPI)

to create end-to-end connectivity ATM uses a fixed cell size (48 bytes) for better Quality of Service (QoS) Like combining Ethernet and IP

802.11
802.11 standard supports 3 physical layers: - Infrared

- Radio Frequency - FHSS-Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum - DSSS-Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum Branched into 802.lla, 802.llb, and 802.llg 802.llb supports up to 11 Mbps at 2.4 GHz 802.lla supports up to 54 Mbps at 5 GHz 802.llg supports up to 54 Mbps at 2.4 GHz (new)
