LAN and LAN Devices

• LANs make it possible for businesses that use computer technology to efficiently share such items as files and printers and to make possible communications such as e-mail.

• LANs are designed to do the following: • operate within a limited geographic area or building• allow many users to access high-bandwidth media • provide full time connectivity to local services • connect physically adjacent devices


The Beginning of LAN Design

• Initial idea: shared media LAN

• Bus structure; CSMA/CD was access method

• Coax cable; transmission rate up to 10 Mbit/s, half-duplex


Repeater


Repeater

• The purpose of a repeater is to amplify and retime network signals at the bit level.

• Repeaters can be single-port "in" and single-port "out" devices, though more often now, they are stackable (modular), or multi-port repeaters, better known as hubs.

• Repeaters are classified as layer 1 devices, in the OSI model, because they act only on the bit level and look at no other information.


Hub

• Used in 10BASE-T and 100BASE-T networks

• Is equivalent to a multi-port repeater

• Hubs come in three basic types:• passive – no traffic and signal manipulation, used only

toshare the media

• active – amplifies the incoming signal• intelligent – (smart hub) same function as an active

hub,additionally includes a controller chip and diagnostic capabilities

Bridge

• The purpose of a bridge is to filter traffic on a LAN, to keep local traffic local, yet allows connectivity to other parts (segments) of the LAN for traffic that has been directed there.

• The bridge makes its decisions based on MAC addresses.

• The bridge is a layer 2 device.

• Bridges split a LAN into several workgroups with smaller collision domains -> reduces whole LAN traffic

• One "broadcast domain"

half-duplex collision domains

Segmentation with Bridges


Switch

• The purpose of a switch is to concentrate connectivity, while guaranteeing bandwidth.

• It switches packets from incoming ports (interfaces) to outgoing ports, while providing each port with full bandwidth.

• The switch uses the MAC address to make its switching decisions. You might think of each port on a switch as a micro-bridge, which makes it a layer 2 device.

Switch Forwarding Principles

• Early-Cut• only usable when finished

learning

• forwards nearly allfaulty frames

• Cut-Through

• reads destination andsource address

• forwards manyfaulty frames

• Fast-Forward (Fragment Free)• detects runts and

collisions

• can filter specific Ethertypes

• Store-and-Forward• detects CRC-errors

• can do filtering based onhigher-layer Information

Cross Bar ASIC

• Multiple conflict free paths

• Typically higher bandwidth

• Signaling and schedulingis more complex

Cross Bar Switch Architecture


Router

• The purpose of a router is to examine incoming packets, choose the best path for them through the network, and then switch them to the proper port.

• Routers make their path selection decisions based on layer 3 information - the network addresses therefore they are consideredlayer 3 devices.

• Routers can connect different layer 2 tech-nologies, such as Ethernet, Token-ring, or FDDI.
