Introduction To Data Communication

Networks impact daily life by enabling instant communication. They allow sharing information which improves learning and changes how people work and play. Key components of networks include devices, mediums, messages, and rules. Converged networks carry voice, video, and data over one network. Network architecture aims to provide fault tolerance, scalability, quality of service, and security. The chapter tasks students to install IRC clients and a wiki server to experience communication tools.

Network Fundamentals Chapter 1

Describe how networks impact our daily lives. Describe the role of data networking in the human network. Identify the key components of any data network. Identify the opportunities and challenges posed by converged networks. Describe the characteristics of network architectures: fault tolerance, scalability, quality of service and security. Install and use IRC clients and a Wiki server.

Explain the benefits of instantaneous communication and how it supports and improves our lives.

Describe the characteristics and purpose of popular communication media such as, IM, Wikis , Blogs, Podcasting, and Collaboration Tools
Instant messaging
Real time communication between 2 or more people based on typed text Web pages created by an individual Website that contains audio files available for downloading

Weblogs (Blogs)
Podcasting

Information networks can be used to share and collaborate improves teaching and learning

Some ways of communication over a network change the way we work

Communication over a network supports the way we play

Basic characteristics of communication


Rules or agreements are 1st established
(Before beginning to communicate with each other, we establish rules or agreements to govern the conversation. These rules, or protocols, must be followed in order for the message to be successfully delivered and understood.)

Important information may need to be repeated Various modes of communication may impact the effectiveness of getting the message across.

The role of data networking in communications:

Various elements make up a network


Devices These are used to communicate with one another Medium This is how the devices are connected together Messages Information that travels over the medium Rules Governs how messages flow across network

The role of converged networks in communications


Converged network
A type of network that can carry voice, video & data over the same network

The four characteristics that are addressed by network architecture design


Fault tolerance Scalability Quality of service Security

Packet switching helps improve the resiliency and fault tolerance of the Internet architecture

Characteristics of the Internet that help it scale to meet user demand


Hierarchical Common standards Common protocols

Explain the factors that necessitate Quality of Service and the mechanisms necessary to ensure it

Describe how QoS mechanisms work to ensure quality of service for applications that require it.

How to select the appropriate QoS strategy for a given type of traffic

Why networks must be secure

Basic measures to secure data networks


Ensure confidentiality through use of
User authentication Data encryption

Maintain communication integrity through use of


Digital signatures

Ensure availability through use of


Firewalls Redundant network architecture Hardware without a single point of failure

Install and use IRC clients and a Wiki server
