TRANSMISSION MODES

Transmission mode means transferring of data between two devices. It is also

known as a communication mode.

There are three types of transmission mode: -

1. Simplex
2. Half Duplex
3. Full Duplex
SIMPLEX
HALF DUPLEX

Channel capacity=Bandwidth * Propagation Delay

FULL DUPLEX

Channel Capacity=2* Bandwidth*propagation Delay

EXAMPLE

1. Simplex

Radio, Keyboard, Monitor

2. Half Duplex

Walki-Talki

3. Full Duplex

Phone

 REPEATER
 Repeaters are network devices operating at physical layer of the OSI model
 Amplify or regenerate an incoming signal before retransmitting it
ADVANTAGES OF REPEATERS

• Repeaters are simple to install and can easily extend the length or the coverage area of
networks.
• They are cost effective.
• Repeaters don’t require any processing overhead. The only time they need to be
investigated is in case of degradation of performance.
• They can connect signals using different types of cables.
DISADVANTAGES OF REPEATERS

• Repeaters cannot connect dissimilar networks.

• They cannot differentiate between actual signal and noise.
• They cannot reduce network traffic or congestion.
• Most networks have limitations upon the number of repeaters that can be deployed.
HUB

Hubs are networking devices operating at a physical layer of the OSI model that are used to
connect multiple devices in a network.
HUB

 A hub cannot filter data

 Transmission mode is half duplex.
 They are passive devices, they don’t have any software associated with it.
BRIDGES

A bridge is a network device that connects multiple LANs (local area networks) together to form
a larger LAN
SWITCH

 Switches are networking devices operating at layer 2 or a data link layer of the OSI model.
 A switch has many ports, to which computers are plugged in.
SWITCH

 It is an intelligent network device that can be conceived as a multiport network bridge.

 It uses MAC addresses

 It uses packet switching technique to receive and forward data packets from the source to
the destination device.
 It is supports unicast (one-to-one), multicast (one-to-many) and broadcast (one-to-all)
communications.

 Transmission mode is full duplex

 ROUTER
 Routers are networking devices operating at layer 3 or a network layer of the OSI model.
ROUTER

 A router is a layer 3 or network layer device.

 It connects different networks together and sends data packets from one network to
another.
 A router can be used both in LANs (Local Area Networks) and WANs (Wide Area
Networks).
 It transfers data in the form of IP packets.

 Routers have a routing table in it that is refreshed periodically according to the changes in
the network.
ROUTER

 Routers are manufactured by some popular companies like −

o Cisco
o D-Link
o HP
o 3Com
o Juniper
o Nortel
