What is Data Communication?

• Data
- First used to mean any “transmissible and storable computer
information.”
- Refers to information presented in whatever form is agreed upon by
the parties creating and using the data.
- Data can be in different types:
- Text and Numbers (ASCII, Morse Code, UTF, pdf, doc, txt)
- Audio (mp3, wav, codec, flac)
- Video (mp4, mpeg, mov, wmv, avi)
- Network traffic/Traffic is the flow of data or information being sent
and/or received by the system.
- Network traffic is categorized as:
- Data Traffic
- Video Traffic
- Voice Traffic


• Communication
- The process of sending and/or receiving information.


• Data Communication
- The process or study of sending and/or receiving transmissible and
storable computer information.
- The exchange of data between two devices via some form of
transmission medium.
- Data communication system is commonly termed as “network”.

Five components of data communication

Elements of a Network
• Sender – source of Sample Network Diagram
information
• Receiver - destination
• Medium – communication
channel (guided, unguided)
• Message - information
• Protocol – policy/rule

PROTOCOLS AND STANDARDS
In this section, we define two widely used terms:

protocols and standards. First, we define protocol,
which is synonymous with rule. Then we discuss
standards, which are agreed-upon rules.
Topics discussed in this section:

Protocols
Standards
Standards Organizations

Standards Categories
De facto
That have not been approved by an
organized body but have been adopted as a
standards through widespread used.
De jure
Those standards that have been legislated
by an organized body.

Standards Organizations
ISO- International Standard Organization

CCITT Consultative Committee for International
Telegraphy and Telephony
ITU-T International Telecommunication Union
for Telecommunication Recommendation
ANSI American National Standard Institute
IEEE Institute of Electrical and Electronics
Engineers
EIA Electronic Industries Association

International Telecommunication Union

ITU-T International Telecommunication Union-
Telecommunication Standards Sector
ITU-R International Telecommunication Union-

Radio Recommendation Sector
ITU-D International Telecommunication Union-

Telecommunication Development Sector

International Standards Organization
Established in 1947, the International Standards

Organization (ISO) is a multinational body
dedicated to worldwide agreement on
international standards. An ISO standard that
covers all aspects of network communications is
the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) model. It
was first introduced in the late 1970s.

CCITT ( Consultative Committee for

International Telegraphy and
Telephony)
CCITT ( Consultative Committee for International
Telegraphy and Telephony) Established in early
1970s, as part of an ITU formed by UN as a
committee devoted to the research and
establishment of standards for telecommunications
in general and for phone and data systems in
particular.

American National Standards Institute

(ANSI)
A private, nonprofit corporation not affiliated

with the US Federal government. But all ANSI
activities are undertaken with the welfare of the
United State

Institute of Electrical and Electronics

Engineers ( IEEE )
The largest professional Engineering society in

the world. International in scope, it aims to
advance theory, creativity, and product quality
in the fields of electrical engineering,
electronics and radio as well as in all related
branches of engineering.
802 Project is one of the well known
achievement of the organization.

Electronic Industries Association (EIA)
Association is a nonprofit organization devoted to

the promotion of electronics manufacturing
concerns. EIA has made significant contributions
by defining physical connection interface and
electronic signaling specifications for data
communication.

internet vs. the Internet

• internet or internetwork is the World Wide Web (www)
interconnection of multiple
networks.
• The Internet is the biggest
example of an internetwork
(world wide web).

The Internet
Physical (left) and Logical (right) Connections of the Internet

The Internet
Physical topology is the

physical layout of the
components on the network
Logical topology determines

how the hosts access the
medium across the network

Types of Connection
• Point-to-Point (P2P) Sample Diagram/s
Connection - unicast
• Multipoint:
- Multicast
- Broadcast


Modes of Transmission

• Simplex – one-way Sample Diagram/s
transmission in which each
device is either transmit OR
receive ONLY.

• Half Duplex – two-way Sample Diagram/s
device can either transmit
OR receive information BUT
NOT AT THE SAME TIME.

• Full Duplex – two-way Sample Diagram/s
device can transmit AND
receive information AT THE
SAME TIME.

• Full-Full Duplex – two-way Sample Diagram/s
transmission in which ALL
connected devices are
transmitting AND receiving
information
SIMULTANEOUSLY.

Different Types of Network Topology


• Star topology - end devices
are connected centrally on a
hub.
• It is also called as “hub-and-
spoke” topology.

Sample Diagram/s


• Mesh topology - each nodes Sample Diagram/s
or devices are
interconnected with each
other.


• Bus topology - one long Sample Diagram/s
cable acts as a backbone to
link all the devices in a
network.


• Ring topology - each device
has a dedicated point-to-
point connection with only
the two devices on either
side of it.

Sample Diagram/s

A hybrid topology: a star backbone with three bus networks

Different Types of Network

• Local Area Network (LAN) – Sample Diagram/s
it is usually privately owned
network infrastructure which
covers and connects
different devices in a single
office, building or campus.
• Implementation of the
network is done by in-house
engineers.
• LAN includes switches and
end devices such as
PC/laptop, servers, printers,
scanners, fax machines and
VOIP phones.


• Wide Area Network (WAN) – Sample Diagram/s
a type of network which has
a wider geographical span,
spanning a town, a state, a
country, or even the world.
• Implementation of the
network is done by an
Internet Service Provider
(ISP).
• WAN includes routers and
WAN connections such as
leased line, frame-relay,
metro ethernet, MPLS or
VSAT.

LAN-WAN Connection
• WLAN – group of wireless

devices that connect to
access points within a
specified area.
• Access points are typically
connected to the network
using copper cabling

LAN-WAN Connection

An isolated LAN connecting 12 computers to a hub in a closet

A heterogeneous network made of four WANs and two LANs

Cisco Hierarchical Model

• A network topology Sample Diagram/s
recommended by Cisco
Networks Company.
• A topology which includes
three (3) main layers of
traffic flow: Core Layer,
Distribution Layer, and
Access Layer.

Elements of a Good Network Design

• Cost
- Refers to the funding/budget
allocation of a certain
company or organization for
the implementation of their
network
design/infrastructure.


• Speed
- It defines how fast or slow the flow of traffic within, from and to the
network is.
- Ethernet (10Mbps)
- Fast Ethernet (100Mbps)
- Gigabit Ethernet (1Gbps or 1000Mbps)
- Speed Terminologies:
- Bandwidth
- Throughput
- Transit Time
- Response Time
- Latency


• Availability
- Refers to the duration of
accessibility of information
whenever a user or an
organization needs it.
- How long can it be
accessed? When where and
how it can be accessed?
𝑜𝑝𝑒𝑟𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑛𝑔 − 𝑜𝑓𝑓𝑙𝑖𝑛𝑒
%=
𝑜𝑝𝑒𝑟𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑛𝑔


• Reliability
- Measured by the frequency
of failure or the time it takes
a link to recover from an
outage.
- It is the network’s robustness
in the midst of catastrophe or
disaster.


• Scalability
- Defines the capability of the
network to adapt to change
and flexibility to have
expansion in the long run.


• Security
- It is the capability of a
network to protect data and
privacy from unauthorized
access.
- Implementation of policies
and procedures for recovery
from data breach and
information loss.
