Data Communication

Communication Process,

15-3
• 1. Message: It is the information or data to
be communicated. It can consist of text,
numbers, pictures, sound or video or any
combination of these.
• 2. Sender: It is the device/computer that
generates and sends that message.
15-4
• 3. Receiver: It is the device or computer that receives
the message. The location of receiver computer is
generally different from the sender computer.

Types of Data Communication? /Data
transmission mode
Transmission mode means transferring of data between two
devices. It is also called communication mode. These modes direct
the direction of flow of information. There are three types of
transmission mode. They are :
•Simplex Mode
•Half duplex Mode
•Full duplex Mode

Uses of Computer Network / Advantages
15-11
• Data protection: A network makes it easier to
back up all of your company's data on an offsite server
• Person-to-person communication:
• Electronic mails or emails for everyone. Emails may
contain digitized voice, pictures, moving TV and video
images (and even smell !).
• Real-time video conferencing and virtual meeting
environments, allow remote users to communicate with
no delay, possibly seeing and hearing each others as
well.
15-12
• Business Applications: As resourse sharing an network with 2 client and 1
server
• Access to remote information:
• Home reservations for airplanes, trains, hotels, restaurants, theaters, and so on,
anywhere in the world with instant confirmation.
• Online banking and shopping.
• On-line and personalized electronic newspapers, journals, and libraries.
• Access to WWW (World Wide Web) which contains information about many
topics.
• Interactive entertainment:
• Video on demand (the killer application): the user can select any movie or TV
program ever made, in any country, and have it displayed on his screen instantly.
• Live and interactive TV: audience may participate in quiz shows, and so on.

Types of Networks
15-15
• A LAN is used to connect the computers
and other network devices so that the
devices can communicate with each other
to share the resources. The resources to
be shared can be a hardware device like
printer,
15-16
• software like an application program or
data. The size of LAN is usually small. The
various devices in LAN are connected to
central devices called Hub or Switch using
a cable.

Types of Networks
15-27
• Campus Area Network - A network
spanning multiple LANs but smaller than a
MAN, such as on a university or local
business campus.
• Storage Area Network - Connects servers
to data storage devices through a
technology like Fibre Channel.

STP cables comes with twisted wire pair covered in
metal foil. This makes it more indifferent to noise and
crosstalk.
15-34
Coaxial Cable
15-35
15-36
Coaxial cables provide high bandwidth rates of
up to 450 mbps.
There are three categories of coax cables
namely, RG-59 (Cable TV), RG-58 (Thin
Ethernet), and RG-11 (Thick Ethernet). RG
stands for Radio Government.
Cables are connected using BNC connector and
BNC-T. BNC terminator is used to terminate the
wire at the far ends.

• Disadvantages :
• It is expensive
• Difficult to install.
• Maintenance is expensive and difficult.

Microwave Transmission
15-42
• Microwaves can have wavelength ranging
from 1 mm – 1 meter and frequency
ranging from 300 MHz to 300 GHz.
15-43
• Microwave antennas concentrate the
waves making a beam of itmultiple
antennas can be aligned to reach farther.
Microwaves have higher frequencies and
do not penetrate wall like obstacles.
• Microwave transmission depends highly
upon the weather conditions and the
frequency it is using.

Networks topologies
15-47
• A network topology is the pattern in
which nodes (i.e., computers,
printers, routers or other devices) are
connected to a local area network or
other network via links (e.g., twisted
pair copper wire cable or optical fiber
cable).
15-48
Star Topology:
15-49
15-50
• Features of Star Topology
• Every node has its own dedicated
connection to the hub/switch.
• Hub acts as a repeater for data flow.
• Can be used with twisted pair, Optical
Fibre or coaxial cable.
15-51
• Advantages of Star Topology
• Fast performance with few nodes and low network traffic.
• Hub can be upgraded easily.
• Easy to troubleshoot.
• Easy to setup and modify.
• Only that node is affected which has failed, rest of the
nodes can work smoothly.
15-52
• Disadvantages of Star Topology
• Cost of installation is high.
• Expensive to use.
• If the hub fails then the whole network is stopped
because all the nodes depend on the hub.
• Performance is based on the hub that is it depends on its
capacity
15-53
• Ring Topology: A local-area network (LAN
) whose topology is a ring. That is, all of
the nodes are connected in a closed loop.
Messages travel around the ring, with
each node reading those messages
addressed to it.
15-54
15-55
• Advantages of Ring Topology
• Transmitting network is not affected by
high traffic or by adding more nodes, as
only the nodes having tokens can transmit
data.
• Cheap to install and expand
15-56
Mesh Topology:
15-57
15-58
• Advantages of Mesh Topology
• Each connection can carry its own data
load.
• It is robust.
• Fault is diagnosed easily.
• Provides security and privacy.
15-59
• Disadvantages of Mesh Topology
• Installation and configuration is difficult.
• Cabling cost is more.
• Bulk wiring is required.
15-60
• Bus Topology: In networking a bus is the
central cable -- the main wire -- that
connects all devices on a local-area
network (LAN). It is also called the
backbone.
• This is often used to describe the main
network connections composing the
Internet. Bus networks are relatively
inexpensive and easy to install for small
networks. 15-61
15-62
• Advantages of Bus Topology
• It is cost effective.
• Cable required is least compared to other
network topology.
• Used in small networks.
• It is easy to understand.
• Easy to expand joining two cables together.
15-63
Disadvantages of Bus Topology
1.Cables fails then whole network fails.
2.If network traffic is heavy or nodes are
more the performance of the network
decreases.
3.Cable has a limited length.

Protocol,

will send and receive it. Without a protocol, a transmitting
computer, for example, could be sending its data in 8-bit
packets while the receiving computer might expect the
data in 16-bit packets. Protocols are established by
international or industrywide organizations. Among the
most important sets of Internet protocols
are TCP/IP, HTTPS, SMTP, and DNS.

TCP/IP, - Transmission Control
Protocol/Internet Protocol,
• standard Internet communications protocol
s that allow digital computers to
communicate over long distances. The
Internet is a packet-switched network, in
which information is broken down into
small packets, sent individually over many
different routes at the same time, and then
reassembled at the receiving end.
