Different Types of Networks• WAN (Wide Area Networks)
– A Network that spans geographical areas. The internet is made up of many WANs
• LAN (Local Area Network)– Smaller Network that is more
geographically focused.– Most companies are made up of
multiple LANs
![Page 13: It’s All About Networking Presented by SCTE Desert Chapter March 25 th & 26 th](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649dc75503460f94abbce3/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Network Models
• A conceptual networking model helps to define the different functions of a network.
• Allows various vendors to build network devices while still keeping to the same standard
• The Two most used models are TCP/IP Model and the OSI Model
![Page 14: It’s All About Networking Presented by SCTE Desert Chapter March 25 th & 26 th](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649dc75503460f94abbce3/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
The OSI Model
![Page 15: It’s All About Networking Presented by SCTE Desert Chapter March 25 th & 26 th](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649dc75503460f94abbce3/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
The OSI Model – Host Layer• Application (Layer 7)
– User Interface– Used by services like Web (HTML), File Transfer Protocol,
and Telnet• Presentation (Layer 6)
– Used to control Data sets like ASCII or UTF-8• Session (Layer 5)
– Controls Session data and dialog control, if required.– Used to establish Mode of transfer such as Full Duplex or
Half Duplex• Transport (Layer 4)
– Provides end to end communication, error checking, and data integrity
– Used by TCP and UDP
![Page 16: It’s All About Networking Presented by SCTE Desert Chapter March 25 th & 26 th](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649dc75503460f94abbce3/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
OSI Model – Media Layers
• Network (Layer 3)– Used by Routers and some Multi-Layer Switches– IP Address use to identify Network interfaces– Encapsulates Data into Packet
• Data Link (Layer 2)– Used by Routers and Switches– MAC Address used to identify physical Hardware
Interfaces– Encapsulates Packets into Frames
• Physical (Layer 1)– Used by the physical medium such as ethernet, fiber
or coax between all network devices.– Uses bits to transfer frames across medium (1s and
0s)
![Page 17: It’s All About Networking Presented by SCTE Desert Chapter March 25 th & 26 th](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649dc75503460f94abbce3/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

Network Topology Review
![Page 25: It’s All About Networking Presented by SCTE Desert Chapter March 25 th & 26 th](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649dc75503460f94abbce3/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
IP Addressing
• Layer 3 (Network) form of Addressing• Two different forms of IP Address:
– IPv4• Uses Dotted Decimal (192.168.0.1)• Has 4,294,967,296 total address (public & private)• 32 bit address
– IPv6• Uses Hexidecimal Notation (FE80::1)• Has 3.4×1038 total address (public & private)• 128 bit address
![Page 26: It’s All About Networking Presented by SCTE Desert Chapter March 25 th & 26 th](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649dc75503460f94abbce3/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
IP Addressing - cont
• Both versions represent a real number
• For Instance:– 0.0.1.0 = 256– 10.0.0.4 = 16,777,220– 0:0:0:0:0:0:0:1 = 1– 0:0:0:0:1:0:0:0 =
281,462,092,005,375
![Page 27: It’s All About Networking Presented by SCTE Desert Chapter March 25 th & 26 th](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649dc75503460f94abbce3/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
IP Addressing - cont
• Blocks of IPs are called Subnets• Each Subnet represents a network (either WAN
or LAN)• The range of each subnet is determined by the
Subnet Mask• Each Subnet has a Network (First IP address)
and a Broadcast (Last IP Address) IP Address• Subnet Range is calculated Subtracting Subnet
Mask and from 255.255.255.255.• For Example a Subnet Mask of 255.255.255.0
will have 256 IPs in the Subnet
![Page 28: It’s All About Networking Presented by SCTE Desert Chapter March 25 th & 26 th](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649dc75503460f94abbce3/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
IP Address Example
• A home wireless Router is configured with network address of 192.168.0.0 and a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0
• 255.255.255.255 – 255.255.255.0 = 0.0.0.255 = 256 total address
• 192.168.0.0 + 0.0.0.255 = 192.168.0.255
• Network Range: 192.168.0.0 to 192.168.0.255
• Network Address: 192.168.0.0• Broadcast Address: 192.168.0.255
![Page 29: It’s All About Networking Presented by SCTE Desert Chapter March 25 th & 26 th](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649dc75503460f94abbce3/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
IP Address - cont
• Network Address: First IP in a Subnet used to identify the entire network
• Broadcast Address: Last IP in a Subnet used to communicate any device on the Useable IP Range.
• Gateway IP Address: The configured IP address on the next hop router, which contains a path towards a WAN/Internet
• Useable IP Range: Any IP in a subnet that except the Network and Broadcast
![Page 30: It’s All About Networking Presented by SCTE Desert Chapter March 25 th & 26 th](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649dc75503460f94abbce3/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
MAC Address
• Layer 2 (Data Link) Address• 48 Bit Address• Identifies the Physical Hardware
Address on a Network Interface Card• Uses a hexidecimal representation• First 6 digits indicate a vendor oui.• Example:
– 00:15:A4:00:11– 00:e9:af:12:34
![Page 31: It’s All About Networking Presented by SCTE Desert Chapter March 25 th & 26 th](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649dc75503460f94abbce3/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Resolving IP Address
• ARP – Address Resolution Protocol is used to discover a MAC Address for a specific IP Address by broadcasting a message to everyone on a subnet using a broadcast IP.
• rARP – Reverse Address Resolution Protocol is used to discover the IP Address for a specific MAC Address.
![Page 32: It’s All About Networking Presented by SCTE Desert Chapter March 25 th & 26 th](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649dc75503460f94abbce3/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Public vs Private IP Space
• RFC1918 – Prohibits the distribution of private IP Address space on WAN Links.
• Private Address Space includes:– 10.0.0.0 – 10.255.255.255– 172.16.0.0 – 172.31.255.255– 192.168.0.0 – 192.168.255.255
• This space is specially reserved for private use only.
• Private space is was allocated to allow network useable space, without having to allocate and waste large blocks of public space.
• With Network Address Translation (NAT), private space can be mapped to public space.
![Page 33: It’s All About Networking Presented by SCTE Desert Chapter March 25 th & 26 th](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649dc75503460f94abbce3/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)• Allows a DHCP server to
assign/configure an IP Address to an end device
• Will also configure Subnet Mask, Gateway IP, as well as DNS Servers
• When an end device is configured for DHCP, the DORA begins.
![Page 34: It’s All About Networking Presented by SCTE Desert Chapter March 25 th & 26 th](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649dc75503460f94abbce3/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
DHCP - cont
• DORA– Discover – Client sends a message to DHCP
Server– Offer – Server sends a message to client
with an IP Address Offer– Request – Client formally request IP Address
Offered, and sets Subnet Mask, gateway, DNS and lease time
– Acknowledge – Server Acknowledges client Request and reserves IP.
• Once lease is at half-life, DORA process is repeated.
![Page 35: It’s All About Networking Presented by SCTE Desert Chapter March 25 th & 26 th](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649dc75503460f94abbce3/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Domain Name Service (DNS)• DNS – Maps a domain name like
google.com to an IP Address• Multiple DNS servers are
configured for redundancy• DNS Servers must be reachable in
order to be queried
![Page 36: It’s All About Networking Presented by SCTE Desert Chapter March 25 th & 26 th](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649dc75503460f94abbce3/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Transmission Control Protocol (TCP)• Layer 4 (Transport) Protocol
– State Oriented Protocol– Reliable and Ordered Transmission– Provides Error Checking and Flow Control– Three Way Handshake to form socket
• Host A sends Syn• Host B Sends Syn-Ack• Host A send Ack
• TCP Port Numbers reserved for well known services– Web (HTTP) : 80– FTP : 20 & 21– POP : 110– IMAP : 143– SMTP : 25– Telnet : 23– SSH: 22
![Page 37: It’s All About Networking Presented by SCTE Desert Chapter March 25 th & 26 th](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649dc75503460f94abbce3/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
User Datagram Protocol (UDP)• Simple transmission• Stateless protocol• No error checking or reliability• Used for Real-time transmissions such
as voice, streaming video, etc.• Unidirectional communication• UDP Port Numbers Reserved for Well
known services:– tftp : 69– Ntp : 123
![Page 38: It’s All About Networking Presented by SCTE Desert Chapter March 25 th & 26 th](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649dc75503460f94abbce3/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)

What is a CMTS?
• CMTS – Cable Modem Termination System• A Layer 3 (Network) Device• Has similar functions to that of a Router• Connects to other Routers using Fiber or Copper
UTP• Provides a shared RF Connection to a fiber-node
(service group/mac-domain) that will service upto 250 customers (on average)
• Uses DS Frequencies between 85MHz – 1 GHz and US Frequencies between 5-85 MHz to communicate to Cable Modems (DOCSIS 3.0 Spec)

Modem/CMTS Messaging
• SYNC – Timing Synchronization– sent every 200 ms
• UCD – Upstream Channel Descriptor– Provides the upstream frequency of which
the modem will reply back on, along with symbol rate, modulation, etc.
• MAP – Media Access Protocol– Allocates set communication interval for
each modem.• RNG-REQ – Range Request• RNG-RSP – Range Response

Cable Modem Addressing
• Each cable modem has two primary addresses:– MAC Address (CMAC/RF/DOCSIS, etc)– IP Address
• Typically will be a private IP Address• Acts as a bridge for Inbound and
Outbound network traffic
![Page 59: It’s All About Networking Presented by SCTE Desert Chapter March 25 th & 26 th](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649dc75503460f94abbce3/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)
CPE Addressing
• Each CPE has two primary address:– MAC Address
• If you CPE is attached to a modem it may be a STB, VoIP, MTA, CPE MAC
– IP Address• Depending on the service, this may or
may not be a private IP Address.• This address will provide access to the
necessary services
