Service Transmission Rate Link Length Applications Rate-Adaptive Digital Subscriber Line (RADSL) 640 Kbps to 2.2 Mbps downstream; 272 Kbps to 1.088 Mbps upstream 10,000 to 18,000 feet Same as ADSL, except that the transmission speed is dynamically adjusted to accommodate the link length and signal quality ADSL Lite Up to 1 Mbps downstream; up to 512 Kbps upstream 18,000 feet Internet/intranet access, remote LAN access, IP telephony, videoconferencing Very high-bit-rate Digital Subscriber Line (VDSL) 12.96 to 51.84 Mbps downstream; 1.6 to 2.3 Mbps upstream 1000 to 4500 feet Multimedia Internet access, high- definition television delivery ISDN Digital Subscriber Line (IDSL) Up to 144 Kbps full-duplex 18,000 feet Internet/intranet access, remote LAN access, IP telephony, videoconferencing 13 ADSL Connections 14 CATV Networks  Broadband networks owned by cable television companies  Provide Internet access through the same cable used for television signals  Run at 512 Kbps or more  Bandwidth shared with other users in the area  Asymmetrical transmissions  Provide Internet connections only 15 CATV Connections 16 Satellite Connections  Provide Internet access only  Usually downstream only  Require a dial-up connection for upstream traffic  Not suitable for private network connections 17 Thin Client Computing  Thin client computing is a terminal client program running on a computer or dedicated network client device that communicates with a terminal server elsewhere on the network.  The client provides the interface to the operating system and nothing more.  The actual operating system and all applications run on the terminal server.  Thin client computing uses a specialized protocol, such as Independent Computing Architecture (ICA), developed by Cyrix Systems, Inc.  ICA carries keystrokes, mouse actions, and screen updates between the client and the server, so that the applications appear to be running locally. 18 Remote Connection Requirements  Common protocols. The two computers to be connected must share common protocols at the data-link layer and above.  TCP/IP configuration. The Internet Protocol (IP) address and other configuration parameters must be appropriate for the network.  Host and remote software.  The remote computer must run a client program that can use the physical layer to establish a connection.  The host computer must run a program that can respond to connection requests and provide network access.  Security. The host computer and the other systems on the network must have security mechanisms that control access to network resources. 19 SLIP and PPP Characteristics  Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) data-link layer and TCP/IP link layer protocols  End-to-end protocols  No physical layer specifications 20 SLIP  Stands for Serial Line Internet Protocol  Simple protocol used for transmissions over serial connections  Provides no error detection, network layer protocol identification, or security  Transmits an IP datagram and follows it with a single End Delimiter byte  Rarely used today because Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) has replaced it 21 The SLIP Frame 22 PPP  Stands for Point-to-Point Protocol  Used for dial-up Internet connections and other wide area network (WAN) technologies  More complex than SLIP  Provides additional services that SLIP lacks, such as IP address exchange, multiplexing of network layer protocols, and authentication  Uses a 5-byte header 23 The PPP Frame 24 Phases of the PPP Connection Establishment Procedure 1.

Link termination 25 WAN Characteristics  WANs typically connect networks at different locations.  WANs are point-to-point links that do not use a shared medium.  WANs can use PSTN, ISDN, or DSL connections.  To connect local area networks (LANs) at remote locations, you install a router at each site and connect them with a WAN link.  Most WAN connections use PPP at the data-link layer.  WAN links usually involve a third-party service provider, which often makes high-speed WANs slower than LANs. 26 Leased Lines  A leased line is a permanent analog or digital telephone connection between two locations that provides a predetermined amount of bandwidth.  The most common leased line in the US is the T-1, which runs at 1.544 Mbps.  The European equivalent of a T-1 is the E-1, which runs at 2.048 Mbps.  Leased line services are split into 64-Kbps channels.  You can use each channel as an individual 64-Kbps link, or combine them into a single data pipe.  Leasing part of a T-1 (in 64-Kbps increments) is called fractional T-1 service.  A T-3 connection runs at 44.736 Mbps and an E-3 runs at 34.368 Mbps. 27 Installing a Leased Line  A telephone service provider furnishes a link between two sites, running at a specific bandwidth.  Prices are based on the amount of the bandwidth and the distance spanned.  Each end of a leased line must be connected to a channel service unit/data service unit (CSU/DSU).  To use the line, you connect the CSU/DSU to your network, using a router. 28 Frame Relay  Frame relay provides bandwidth similar to that of a leased line, but with greater flexibility.  Speeds range from 56 Kbps to the equivalent of a T-3.  Frame relay links are not locked into a specific speed.  Each site is connected to the service provider’s network, called a cloud.  The two sites are linked by a dynamic connection through the cloud.  Each site requires a hardware device called a frame relay assembler/disassembler (FRAD). 29 SONET Optical Carrier (OC) Levels OC Level Data Transmission Rate (in Mbps) OC1 51.84 OC3 155.52 OC6 311.04 OC9 466.56 OC12 622.08 OC18 933.12 OC24 1244.16 OC36 1866.24 OC48 2488.32 OC96 4976.640 OC192 9953.280 30 ATM  Stands for Asynchronous Transfer Mode  Originally designed to carry voice, data, and video traffic on both LANs and WANs  Uses fixed-length, 53-byte frames called cells  Provides a connection-oriented, full-duplex, point-to-point service between devices  Uses no broadcast transmissions  Data relayed between networks by switches, not routers  Speeds: range from a 25.6-Mbps service, intended for desktop LAN connections, to 2.46 Gbps 31 Chapter Summary  Using remote connections  Stand-alone computers become remote clients when they connect to a distant network by using any one of several different technologies.  PSTN connections use modems and standard telephone lines to transmit data. They are relatively slow but also flexible and universal.  VPNs are secure tunnels through the Internet that enable remote computers to communicate with their networks without using long- distance telephone connections.  SLIP and PPP  SLIP is a simple protocol that enables two systems connected through their serial ports to exchange messages with very little control overhead.  PPP is a more complicated end-to-end protocol that enables two systems to negotiate the use of optional features such as authentication protocols and multiple network layer protocols. 32 Chapter Summary (Cont.)  WAN technologies  Leased lines are dedicated, permanent, point-to- point connections between two sites that are provided by telephone carriers.  Frame relay is a service that uses a cloud of virtual circuits to provide flexible amounts of bandwidth between sites.  SONET is a fiber optic telecommunications network standard consisting of a series of optical carrier levels.  ATM is a switched, connection-oriented service that was designed for use on both LANs and WANs.
