– Data Communications - Evolution of network, Requirements ,
Applications, Network Topology (Line configuration, Data Flow),
Protocols and Standards, Network Models (OSI,TCP/IP)
 Communications model

 The communications model underlying the network

middleware is the most important factor in how applications
communicate.
 Three main types of network communications models:
Point-to-point
Client-server
Publish-subscribe
 Point-to-point model:
 Point-to-point is the simplest form of
communication.
 Example - The telephone is essentially one-to-one communication.
 Client-server model:
Client-server networks designate one special server node that
connects simultaneously to many client nodes.

"many-to-one" architecture
 Many-Many Model (or) Publisher – Subscriber model:
 if a publisher sends a message with Topic A, it will be forwarded to
any subscribers who have subscribed to Topic A.
 1 DATA COMMUNICATIONS

The term telecommunication means communication at a

distance. The word data refers to information presented in
whatever form is agreed upon by the parties creating and
using the data.

Data communications are the exchange of data between two

devices via some form of transmission medium such as a wire
cable or wireless. 4 metrics for data communications,
1. Delivery → Correct destination
2. Accuracy → Accurate data (No data loss)
3. Timelines → Real-time transmission (Eg: Live streaming)
4. Jitter → Uneven delay (Eg: Distruption of TV signals due to interruption)

A network is a set of devices (nodes) connected by

communication links. A node can be a computer, printer, or
any other device capable of sending and/or receiving data
generated by other nodes on the network.

Types of connections

 Point to point
 A dedicated link is provided between
two devices

 Multipoint
 More than two specific devices share
a single link

Dr. S. Deepa Nivethika, SCOPE, VIT, Chennai 7/23/2024

 Physical Topology

Topology - The way in which constituent parts are interrelated or arranged.

Topologies cover a much longer distance and larger areas with much more users.

Tree/Tier

Dr. S. Deepa Nivethika, SCOPE, VIT, Chennai 7/23/2024

 MESH Topology
 Every device has a dedicated point-to-point link to
every other devices
 Dedicated
 Link carries traffic only between the two devices it
connects
 A fully connected mesh network has n(n-1)/2
physical channels to link n devices
 Every device on the network must have n-1
input/output (I/O) ports
 Advantage
 Less traffic, robust, secure, easy to maintain
 Disadvantage
 Need more resource (cable and ports), expensive
n(n-1)/2 physical duplex links
 STAR Topology
 Each device has a dedicated point-to-point link only to a central controller,

usually called a hub.

 No direct traffic and link between devices

 Advantages

 Less expensive

 Easy to install and reconfigure

 Robustness

 Disadvantage

 Single point of failure

n links required
 BUS Topology

 A multipoint topology
 All devices are linked through a backbone cable
 Nodes are connected to the bus cable by drop lines and taps.
 Drop line
 A connection running between the device and the main cable
 Tap
 A connector that either splices into the main cable or punctures the
sheathing of a cable to create a contact with the metallic core
 Advantage:
 Ease of installation
 Disadvantages:
 Difficult reconnection and fault isolation
 Broken or fault of the bus cable stops all transmission

n+1 links required

 RING Topology

 Each device is dedicated point-to-point connection only with the two devices on either side of it
 A signal is passed along the ring in the direction, from device to device, until it reaches its destination
 Each device in the ring incorporates a repeater

 Advantages
 Relatively easy to install and reconfigure
 Fault isolation is simplified
 Disadvantage
 Unidirectional traffic

n links required
 Tree Topology
A hybrid topology: a star backbone with three bus networks
Tree topologies integrate multiple topologies together

Example: Tree topology

integrates multiple star
topologies together onto a bus

 Advantages:
 Point-to-point wiring for individual segments.
 Supported by several hardware and software venders.
 Disadvantages:
 Overall length of each segment is limited by the type of cabling used.
 If the backbone line breaks, the entire segment goes down.
 More difficult to configure and wire than other topologies.

Established in 1947, the International Standards

Organization (ISO) is a multinational body
dedicated to worldwide agreement on
international standards.

An ISO is the Open Systems Interconnection

(OSI) model is the standard that covers all
aspects of network communications from ISO. It
was first introduced in the late 1970s.

 Layered Architecture
 A layered model
 Each layer performs a subset of the required
communication functions
 Each layer relies on the next lower layer to perform
more primitive functions
 Each layer provides services to the next higher layer
 Changes in one layer should not require changes in
other layers
 The processes on each machine at a given layer are
called peer-to-peer process

Dr. S. Deepa Nivethika, SCOPE, VIT, Chennai 7/23/2024

 PEER – TO – PEER PROCESS
 Communication must move downward through the layers
on the sending device, over the communication channel,
and upward to the receiving device
 Each layer in the sending device adds its own
information to the message it receives from the layer just
above it and passes the whole package to the layer just
below it
 At the receiving device, the message is unwrapped layer
by layer, with each process receiving and removing the
data meant for it

Dr. S. Deepa Nivethika, SCOPE, VIT, Chennai 7/23/2024

 PEER – TO – PEER PROCESS
 The passing of the data and network information down
through the layers of the sending device and backup
through the layers of the receiving device is made
possible by interface between each pair of adjacent
layers
 Interface defines what information and services a layer
must provide for the layer above it.

Example 2

We want to send data from a node

with network address A and
physical address 10, located on one
LAN, to a node with a network
address P and physical address 95,
located on another LAN. Because
the two devices are located on
different networks, we cannot use
physical addresses only; the
physical addresses only have local
influence. What we need here are
universal addresses that can pass
through the LAN boundaries. The
network (logical) addresses have
this characteristic.

Example 3

Data coming from the upper

layers have port addresses j
and k (j is the address of the
sending process, and k is the
address of the receiving
process). Since the data size
is larger than the network
layer can handle, the data are
split into two packets, each
packet retaining the port
addresses (j and k). Then in
the network layer, network
addresses (A and P) are
added to each packet.

The layers in the TCP/IP protocol suite do not

exactly match those in the OSI model. The original
TCP/IP protocol suite was defined as having four
layers: host-to-network, internet, transport, and

Relationship of layers and addresses in TCP/IP

Dr. S. Deepa Nivethika, SCOPE, VIT, Chennai 7/23/2024

Physical Address

Physical addresses are imprinted on the NIC. Most

local-area networks (Ethernet) use a 48-bit (6-byte)
physical address written as 12 hexadecimal digits; every
byte (2 hexadecimal digits) is separated by a colon.

Example:
[Link]
A 6-byte (12 hexadecimal digits) physical address.

Dr. S. Deepa Nivethika, SCOPE, VIT, Chennai 7/23/2024

Physical Address

• known also as the MAC address

• Is the address of a node as defined by its LAN or WAN
• It is included in the frame used by data link layer

The physical addresses in the datagram may change from hop to hop.

Dr. S. Deepa Nivethika, SCOPE, VIT, Chennai 7/23/2024

Logical Address

 IP addresses are necessary for universal communications that

are independent of physical network.
 No two host address on the internet can have the same IP
address
 IP addresses in the Internet are 32-bit address that uniquely
define a host.

The physical addresses will change from hop to hop,

but the logical addresses usually remain the same.

Dr. S. Deepa Nivethika, SCOPE, VIT, Chennai 7/23/2024

 Port addresses

Port address is a 16-bit address represented by one decimal

number ranged from (0-65535) to choose a process among
multiple processes on the destination host.
 Destination port number is needed for delivery.
 Source port number is needed for receiving a reply as an
acknowledgments.
In TCP/IP , a 16-bit port address represented
as one single number. Example: 753

The physical addresses change from hop to hop,

but the logical and port addresses usually remain the same.
