Trang 7Communications Characteristics
Effectiveness of a data communications system depends on 4 characteristics:
Delivery: correct destination, user…
Accuracy: accurate data reception at destination.
Timeliness: same order without significant delay real-time
transmission.
Jitter: variation in the packet arrival time

Trang 10Protocols and Standards
Protocol
A set of rules governing data communications
Syntax: format of data block
Semantics: meaning of each section
Timing: speed and sequencing
Standards
De facto (in practice) standards
→ not approved but widely adopted
De jure (in law) standards
