Switching Techniques
Circuit Switching
Packet Switching
Message Switching
Cell Switching
Circuit Switching-
This method involves the physical interconnection of two devices. A good example
of circuit switching involves the Public phone network. A data example would be
the classic A/B switch!
Packet Switching-
Message Switching-
Cell Switching-
Cell Switching is similar to packet switching, except that the switching does not
necessarily occur on packet boundaries. This is ideal for an integrated environment
and is found within Cell-based networks, such as ATM. Cell-switching can handle
both digital voice and data signals.
1. Data Channel- a channel is the medium to carry information or data from one
point to another.
2. Baud-It is the unit of measurement for the information carrying capacity of a
communication channel. The Baud is synonymous with bps (bits per second).
*Data rate measured in units of bits per second (bps), bytes per second (Bps) or
baud.
1 GB=1024 MB 1 TB=1024 GB
Transmission media: - It means the physical materials that are used to transmit data
between computers.
Communication media are categorized into two types.
1. Guided Media(Cables)
2. Unguided Media(Waves)
1. Guided Media-
Cable
For communications between computers that are linked by cable, there are three
choices.
Disadvantage: Expensive
Harder to install and modify
2.Unguided Media-
Broadcast
For longer distances or when cables are not practical, other transmission media come
into play. We're getting really high tech here.
It may seem odd to call microwaves, radio waves, or light a "physical" medium. All
are electromagnetic in nature. Sometimes they are treated by scientists like streams
of teeny, tiny particles and other times like waves on the beach. In their "particle"
life, they do behave like a bunch of physical particles. So it's not quite as odd as it
first appears. (But all those electromagnetic things are plenty odd.)
Radio Any Radio setup has two parts. i) Transmitter. ii) Receiver
wave Both transmitter & Receiver use antennas to radiate &
capture the radio signal.
Advantage: Flexible
Cheaper
Portable
Ease of communication
Disadvantage: Slower data transfer than hard-wired
methods
Insecure communication
Network Devices:-
Sending end: MODulate the computer’s digital signal into analog signal and
transmits
Receiving end: DEModulate the analog signal back into digital form
RJ-45:-RJ-45 is short for Registered Jack -45 is an eight wire connector, which is
used to connect computers on the local area networks i.e., LANs especially
Ethernets.
Ethernet Card:-The computers that are part of Ethernet have to install a special
card called Ethernet Card. An Ethernet card contains connections for either coaxial
or twisted pair cables. Ethernet cards are sometimes known as network interface
cards (NICs).
Hub:-A hub is a hardware device used to connect several computers together. Hubs
can be either passive or active.
Active hubs electrically amplify the signal as it moves from one connected device to
another. It works like Repeaters.
Passive hubs allow the signal from one computer to another without any change.
Switch:-A switch is a device that is used to segment networks into different sub
networks called subnets or LAN segments. A switch is responsible for filtering i.e.,
transforming data in a specific way and for forwarding packets between LAN
segments.
Hub 3.3Mbps

Repeater:-It is a network device that amplifies and restore signals from long
distance transmission.
STAR
BUS
TREE
Linear Bus-
A linear bus topology consists of a main run of cable with a terminator at each end
(See fig. 1). All nodes (file server, workstations, and peripherals) are connected to
the linear cable. Ethernet and Local Talk networks use a linear bus topology.
Star -
A star topology is designed with each node (file server, workstations, and
peripherals) connected directly to a central network hub or concentrator (See fig.
2).Data on a star network passes through the hub or concentrator before continuing
to its destination. The hub or concentrator manages and controls all functions of the
network. It also acts as a repeater for the data flow. This configuration is common
with twisted pair cable; however, it can also be used with coaxial cable or fiber optic
cable.
The protocols used with star configurations are usually Ethernet or LocalTalk.
Token Ring uses a similar topology, called the star-wired ring.
Tree-
A tree topology combines characteristics of linear bus and star topologies. It consists
of groups of star-configured workstations connected to a linear bus backbone cable
(See fig. 4). Tree topologies allow for the expansion of an existing network, and
enable schools to configure a network to meet their needs.
Types of Networks:-
Ethernet
Token Ring
FDDI
Modems
Cable modem
Advantages:-
i) It is very useful to transfer files from one network in an
organizatrion to another.
ii) It is an effective way to get a geographically dispersed group to co-
operate on a project.
iii) It is a potent and popular way to share information over the internet.
Objectives of FTP:-
i) to prompt sharing of files
ii) to encourage indirect or implicit use of remote computers.
2.TCP/IP(Transmission control protocol/Internet protocol):-
Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) and Internet Protocol (IP) are two distinct
network protocols, technically speaking. TCP and IP are so commonly used
together, however, that TCP/IP has become standard terminology to refer to either or
both of the protocols.
IP corresponds to the Network layer (Layer 3) in the OSI model, whereas TCP
corresponds to the Transport layer (Layer 4) in OSI. In other words, the term TCP/IP
refers to network communications where the TCP transport is used to deliver data
across IP networks.
ii) Speed
1.Cyber Law:- Cyber law (also referred to as Cyberlaw) is a term used to describe
the legal issues related to use of communications technology, particularly
"cyberspace", i.e. the Internet.. In essence, cyber law is an attempt to apply laws
designed for the physical world to human activity on the Internet.
Cyber law is impotant because it touches almost all aspects of transactions activities
on aaand concerning the Inernet ,the World Wide Web and Cyberspace.
sound security practices, install a firewall, and use other adjunct protection in
combination with your own common sense.
Cookies:- are messages that Web server transmits to a Web browers so that Web
server can keeo track of the user’s activity on a specific Web site.It is a text sent by
a server to a web client (usually a browser) and then sent back unchanged by the
client each time it accesses that server.
Hackering:-
Hacker (computer security), someone who breaks computer and network security.
Thus Crackers are the malicious parogrammers who break into secure systems
whereas Hackers are more interested in gaining knowledge about computer systems
and possibly using this knowledge for playful pranks.
