Trang 4Typical LAN Features for OSI Layer 1
The physical layer defines the standards used to send andreceive bits across a physical network
The physical layer defines the details of cabling:
The maximum length allowed for each type of cable
The number of wires inside the cable
The shape of the connector on the end of the cable…
Most cable include several conductors (wires) inside thecable
The endpoint of these wires are called pins, which endinside the connector
The physical layer also must define the purpose of eachpin
Trang 5CAT5 Cable with RJ-45 Connector
RJ-45 is a typical connector used with Ethernet cabling today.
One pair of wires is used for transmitting data, using pins 1 and 2.
One pair of wires is used for receiving data, using pins 3 and pins 6.
Trang 6Typical LAN Features for OSI Layer 2
The data link layer defines the standards and protocols used to control the transmission of data across a physical network.
Each data link protocol “controls” a particular type of physical layer network, the details of how a data link protocol functions must include some consideration of the physical network.
Most of data link protocols perform the following functions:
Arbitration Addressing Error detection Identification of the encapsulated data
Trang 7Data Link Function 1: Arbitration
With some type of physical networks, data frames cancollide if devices can send any time they want
When frames collide in a LAN, the data in each frame iscorrupted and the LAN is unusable for a brief moment
The specifications for these data-link protocols define how
to arbitrate the use of the physical medium to avoidcollisions, ar at least to recover from the colisions whenthey occur
Ethernet uses the carrier sense multiple access with collision detection (CSMA/CD) algorithm for arbitration
Trang 8Data Link Function 2: Addressing
Many physical networks allow more than two devicesattached to the same physical network
Data-link protocols define addresses to make sure that thecorrect device listens and receives the data that is sent
By putting the correct address in the data-link header, thesender of the frame can be relatively sure that the correctreceiver will get the data
Each data-link protocol defines its own unique addressingstructure
Ethernet uses Media Access Control (MAC)
Frame Relay uses data-link connection identifier (DLCI)
Trang 9Data Link Function 3: Error Detection
Error detection discovers whether bit errors occurredduring the transmission of the frame
Most data-link protocols include a frame check sequence (FCS) or cyclical redundancy check (CRC) field in the data-link trailer
This field contains a value that is the result of amathematical formula applied to the data in the frame
If the FCS sent by the sender matches the FCS calculated
by the receiver, the frame did not have any errors
Error detection does not imply recovery
The FCS allows the receiving device to notice that errorsaccurred and then discard the data frame
Trang 10Data Link Function 4: Identifying the Encapsulated Data
This function identifies the contents of the Data field in
the frame
Each data-link header has a Type field to identify the type
of protocol that sits inside the frame’s data field
IEEE Ethernet 802.2 Logical Link Control (LLC) uses a field
in its header to identify the type of data in the Data field
Coming up … Ethernet Standard
Trang 11Early Ethernet Standards
In this section, you learn about the three earliest types of Ethernet networks.
The term Ethernet refers to a family of protocols and standards that together define the physical and data link layers of LAN.
There are many variations of Ethernet
More popular: 10BASET, Fast Ethernet, GiganetOlder types: 10BASE2, 10BASE5
Trang 12Ethernet Standards Overview
Xerox needed an effective way to allow a new invention, called the personal computer, to be connected in its offices.
Xerox teamed with Intel and Digital Equipment Corp (DEC) to further develop Ethernet.
The original Ethernet became known as DIX Ethernet , meaning DEC, Intel, and Xerox.
The IEEE created a standardized version of Ethernet base on the work performed by DEC, Intel, and Xerox.
Trang 13Low cost of installation and upgradeBandwidth can be increased without changing underlyingtechnology
Trang 14Ethernet and the OSI model
Divided OSI Layer 2 into two sublayers
Media Access Control (MAC) – Traditional L2 features Transitions down to media
Logical link control (LLC) – New L2 features Transitions up to the network layer
Trang 16Original Ethernet Standard: 10BASE5
The original 1980 Ethernet product 10BASE5 transmitted 10 Mbps over a single thick coaxial cable bus.
10BASE5 was the first medium used for Ethernet.
The primary benefit of 10BASE5 was length.
10BASE5 systems also represent a single point of failure.
Each of the maximum five segments of thick coax may be up to
Trang 17Original Ethernet Standard: 10BASE2
10BASE2 was introduced in 1985.
Installation was easier because of its smaller size, lighter weight, and greater flexibility.
Computers on the LAN were linked together by an unbroken series of coaxial cable lengths.
Each of the maximum five segments of thin coax may be up to
185 meters long and each station is connected directly to the BNC “T” connector on the coax.
Only one station can transmit at a time or else a collision will occur.
10BASE2 also uses half-duplex The maximum transmission rate of 10BASE2 is 10 Mbps
Trang 19How CSMA/CD works?
After the jamming is complete, each sender randomizes a timer and waits that long ( backoff algorithm).
When each timer expires, the process stars over with step 1.
Trang 2110BASE-T networks make use of devices called hubs.
Trang 22The hubs are multiport repeaters
The hub simply regenerates the electrical signal that come inone port and sends the same signal out every other port
By doing so, 10BASE-T creates an electrical bus, just like 10BASE5 and 10BASE2.
Collisions can still occur, so CSMA/CD access rulescontinue to be used
With 10BASE-T, a cable is run from each device to a hub, so
a single cable problem affects only one device
All devices are sharing a single bus, so we call this sharedEthernet
Trang 2310BASE-T Hub operation
1 NIC sends a frame.
2 NIC loops the frame back.
3 Hub receives the frame.
4 Hub sends it to all ports,
except the received port.
5 Hub sends the frame out.
If two PCs sent a frame
at the same time, a
collision would occur.
Trang 24Collisions and Duplex Settings
10BASE2, 10BASE5, and 10BASE-T Ethernet would not work without CSMA/CD.
With CSMA/CD algorithm, Ethernet becomes more inefficient under higher loads.
In the next section, you will read about two things that have improved network performance, both relating to the reduction or even elimination of collisions:
LAN SwitchingFull-Duplex Ethernet
Trang 25Reducing Collisions - LAN Switching
LAN switches overcome the
problems created by collisions and
the CSMA/CD algorithm by removing
the possibility of a collision.
Switches do not create a single
shared bus, they treat each
individual port as a separate bus.
Switches use memory buffers to hold
incoming frame.
Switch performs OSI Layer 2
functions by interpreting Ethernet
header information to make
forwarding decisions.
Trang 26Full-Duplex Ethernet
The original Ethernet specifications used a shared bus, over which a single device could not be sending a frame and receiving a frame at the same time because it would mean that
a collision was occurring.
That logic is called half-duplex logic.
Ethernet switches allow multiple frames to be sent over different ports at the same time.
If only one device is connected to a switch port, there is never
a possibility that a collision could occur.
LAN switches with only one device cabled to each port of the switch can send and receive concurrently.
This is full-duplex operation.
Trang 27Ethernet Addressing
Ethernet LAN addressing identifies either individualdevices or groups of devices on a LAN
Unicast Ethernet addresses identify a single LAN card
Each address is 6 bytes long, is usually written inhexadecimal, with periods separating each set of four hexdigits
For example, 0000.0C12.3456 is a valid Ethernet address
Computers use these addresses to identify the sender andreceiver of an Ethernet frame
IEEE calls them MAC addresses
Trang 28Unicast Ethernet Address
The IEEE requires globally unique unicast MAC addresses
on all LAN interface cards
To ensure a unique MAC address, the Ethernet cardmanufacturers encode the MAC address onto the card,usually in a ROM chip
Is is also called burned-in address (BIA).The first half of the address identifies the manufacturer ofthe card, is called the organizationally unique identifier (OUI)
The second half of the address being assigned a numberthat this manufacturer has never used on another card
Trang 29Broadcast addresses – the broadcast address, has a
value of FFFF.FFFF.FFFF (hexadecimal notation) Thebroadcast address implies that all devices on the LANshould process the frame
Multicast addresses – Multicast addresses are used to
allow a subset of devices on a LAN to communicate
Trang 30Recent Ethernet Standards
Fast Ethernet Gigabit Ethernet 10-Gigabit Ethernet
Trang 31Fast Ethernet
Fast Ethernet, as defined in IEEE 802.3u , is also known as Mbps Ethernet.
100-The two technologies that have become important are
100BASE-TX , which is a copper UTP medium and 100BASE-FX , which is a multimode optical fiber medium.
The CSMA/CD logic can be disabled for full-duplex point topologies.
point-to-The 802.3u specification calls for the use of the same old IEEE 802.3 MAC and 802.2 LLC framing for the LAN headers and trailers.
Both Fast Ethernet shared hubs and switches can be deployed.
Trang 32Fast Ethernet (cont)
Fast Ethernet’s autonegotiation function allows anEthernet card or switch to negotiate dynamically todiscover whether it should use either 10 or 100 Mbps
Many Ethernet cards and switch ports are called 10/100cards or ports today because they can autonegotiate thespeed
The endpoints autonegotiate whether to use half duplex
or full duplex as well
If autonegotiation fails, it settles for half-duplex operation
at 10 Mbps
Trang 33Gigabit Ethernet
The IEEE defines Gigabit Ethernet in standards 802.3z for
optical cabling and 802.3ab for electrical cabling
CSMA/CD still is used and can be disabled for full-duplex
support
The 802.3z and 802.3ab standards call for the use of the same
old IEEE 802.3 MAC and 802.2 LLC framing for the LAN headers
and trailers
The most likely place to use Gigabit is between switches,
between switches and a router, and between a switch and a
server
The same Ethernet headers and trailers are used, regardless of
whether it’s 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, or 1000 Mbps
Trang 34It have some differences with the other types:
It allows only a point-to-point topology because it isintended for connectivity between switching devices
It allows only full-duplex communication
It specifies only optical fiber - no copper cabling (Supportfor copper wiring might be added later.)
10 Gig Ethernet using SM fiber for up to 40km
Trang 35Future of Ethernet
Ethernet has gone through an evolution from Legacy → Fast →
Gigabit → MultiGigabit technologies.
The future of networking media is threefold:
Copper (up to 1000 Mbps, perhaps more)
Wireless (approaching 100 Mbps, perhaps more)
Optical fiber (currently at 10,000 Mbps and soon to be more)
Some discussions between IEEE members have begun that suggest the
