Network Models Client/Server Model Microcomputer users, or clients, share services of a centralized computer called a server. Peer-to-Peer Model Computers share equally with one another without having to rely on a central server. 46
Client/Server A distinction exists between computers that make available network resources (servers) and those computers that use the resources (clients or workstations). Pros: § Very secure § § § Centralized servers easy to manage Physically centralized Secure OS § Better performance § Centralized backups § Reliability § Simple job to do plus built in redundancy Cons: § Require professional administration § More hardware intensive 47
Peer-to-Peer (p 2 p) Computers on the network communicate with each others as equals and each computer is responsible for making its own resources available to other computers on the network. Pros: § Uses less expensive computer networks § Easy to administer § No NOS (network operating system) required § More built-in redundancy § Shared resources – some machine will have what you need Cons: § Individual user performance easily affected § Not very secure § Tragedy of the commons – no guarantee others will administer their resources properly (almost guaranteed with over 10 machines) § Hard to back up. 48
Client/Server vs. Peer-to-Peer: Advantages and Disadvantages Client/Server Model Peer-to-Peer Model Advantages: § Very secure OS. § Better performance. § Centralized servers, easy § Uses less expensive networks. § Easy to administer. § Contain both network operating system and application software. § Ideal for small business and home users. to manage. § Centralized backups. § High reliability. Disadvantages: § Expensive administration. § More hardware intensive. Disadvantages: § Individual user performance easily affected. § Not very secure. § Hard to back up. 49
Networking Essentials § Computer Networks § § A host computer connected with communication circuits and equipment to terminals Two or more computers connected via a communication medium § Intranet § A private version of the Internet § Enterprise Network § Two or more LANs connected to each other, or one or more LANs connected to a WAN § File Server § A computer that contains files shared by PCs on a network 50
Categorization of Networks § By size: § § § Wide Area Network (WAN) Metropolitan Area Network (MAN) Local Area Networks (LAN) § By capability: § § Client/server Peer-to-peer 51
Three Major Types of Networks § Local Area Network (LAN) § Serves users within a confined geographical area (usually within a mile). § Metropolitan Area Network (MAN) § Covers a geographic area the size of a city or suburb. The purpose of a MAN is often to bypass local telephone companies when accessing longdistance service. § Wide Area Network (WAN) § Covers a wide geographical area, such as a state or a country. Examples: Tyment, Telenet, Uninet, and Accunet. 52
Interconnection between LANs and WANs 53
Characteristics Differentiate One Network from Another Topology : The geometric arrangement of devices on the network. For example, devices can be arranged in a ring or in a bus or in a star topology. Protocols : The rules and encoding specifications for sending data. The protocols also determine whether the network uses a peer-to-peer or client/server model. Media : Devices can be connected by twisted-pair wire, coaxial cables, or fiber optic cables. n Wireless networks are connected via radio waves. Medium Access Control: Scheme to allow sharing of the media. 54

Network Architecture Models A reference model that describes the layers of hardware and software necessary to transmit data between two points. Reference models are necessary to increase the likelihood that different components from different manufacturers will converse. There are two standard models that are important: The OSI Model, and the Internet Model. 70
Standards are rules of operation that are followed by most or all vendors Standards allow hardware and software from different vendors to work together Competition among vendors brings lower prices and feature-rich products 71
Standards ISO - International Standards Organization: An organization that sets communication standards, also IEEE OSI - Open Systems Interconnection: A seven layer reference model for developing data communication systems Open Architecture - in which the network specifications are available to any company 72
OSI Layers of Communication 73
Application Layer § Where the application using the network resides. Common network applications include remote login, file transfer, e-mail, and web page browsing. § Functionality defined by user § Application dependent 74
Presentation Layer § Performs a series of miscellaneous functions necessary for presenting the data package properly to the sender or receiver § Format of the data § Encryption § Compression § Screen formatting 75
Session Layer § Establishes connection between applications § Enforces rules § § Order Pacing § Reestablish connection 76
Transport Layer § Provides an end-to-end, error-free network connection. § Makes sure the data arrives at the destination exactly as it left the source. § Makes sure all information is accounted for: Missing information n Duplicated information n 77
Network Layer § Responsible for creating maintaining and ending network connections. § Transfers a data packet from node to node within the network. § Message routing § Billing § Accounting 78
Data Link Layer § Responsible for taking the data and transforming it into a frame with header, control and address information. § Physical path communication § Error detection § Error correction § Resolve competing requests 79
Physical Layer § Handles the transmission of bits over a communications channel. § Includes: § § § Voltage levels Electrical connections Media choices Adapters Connectors Modulation techniques 80
81
Layers in Internet Model vs. OSI Model § Interface layer - equivalent to the OSI’s physical and data link layers. § Network layer - roughly equivalent to the OSI’s network layer. § Transport layer - performs same function as OSI transport layer. § Application layer - equivalent to the OSI’s presentation and application layers. 82
The Internet Model vs. the OSI Model 83
Internet Model in Action § Note the flow of data from user to web browser and back. § At each layer, information is either added or removed, depending on whether the data is leaving or arriving at a workstation. § The adding of information over pre-existing information is termed encapsulation. 84
Logical and Physical Connections § A logical connection is one that exists only in the software § A physical connection is one that exists in the hardware. § In a network architecture model, only the lowest layer contains a physical connection, while all higher layers contain logical connections. 86
OSI Layers of Communication 87
Software Environment § Application Programs § Word, Excel, Access, Lotus 123, etc. § Operating System § Manages the resources of the computer. (E. G. Windows 98/NT, Linux) § Data Communication § § Responsible for handling communication with remote devices Transaction Control Process § Receives input and routes it to the proper application processes § Database Management System § Interface between the application programs and the data they need to use. § Transaction Processing § Responding to requests for processing activities. The requests are usually user initiated but may be made by other systems 88
IT Infrastructure 89
Class Discussion § How have you used a network today. § Discuss an example of a business that incorporates layers of management and show the work progresses through the layers. § Are there any network configurations that have not been addressed in the chapter? What are their applications? § Are there any other examples in business where one particular technology or method has won out over the competition? What were the reasons that lead to this particular technology winning? 90
