• Network evolution
• Expectation from a networking expert

• Data representation Prof. Subhendu Kumar Sahoo

• Direction of data flow
Being a technical person what will be your responsibility?
How to use the concept in real life to provide an optimum
solution.
 Increase the speed of data transmission
 Optimize the cost.
 Making the system more user friendly and reliable.
 Find out mechanism to transmit more data in smaller band width.

 Less Loss

 Sensitive to real-time data

 Fewer re transmissions

 Easy & quicker connectivity

 Enough redundancy to reduce down time

EEE ECE F343 Communication Networks

• Standard
• Physical structure of network
• Network Model Prof. Subhendu Kumar Sahoo
 How to make a Network efficient?

What are those data's and how data passes from on

device to other ?

How the devices are interconnected?

Physical structure
Type of connection between two devices.
Network topology
Categories Of Network
Prof. S. K. Sahoo, BITS Pilani,
Hyderabad
Physical topology:
It is the geometric representation of all the links and linking devices.

Mesh Topology:
Every device has a dedicated
point to point link to every
other device.

Adv: dedicated
link,Privacy,Easy to
identify the fault
Disadv: Large number of
links needed

Prof. S. K. Sahoo, BITS Pilani,

Hyderabad
Star Topology:
Each device has a dedicated
point to point link only to a
central controller usually
called hub.
Adv:less expensive than
mesh.
But still not a good solution.
Tree Topology:
Majority of devices are
connected to a secondary
hub,that in turn connected to
central hub/switch.
A hub simply receives signal(s) on input port(s) and
broadcasts it (them) on the output port(s) .
Prof. S. K. Sahoo, BITS Pilani,
Hyderabad
There are three type of hubs :
Passive hub:
It simply provides physical connection between attached devices.
Active hub:
•Distance can be increased.
•Give priority to certain terminal dynamically so that the time
sensitive data will not have to wait for access to the network.
Intelligent hub:
contain some type of management software which uses protocols
such as SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) to
communicate with various network devices and obtain real time
statistics such as throughput, bandwidth, uptime, routing tables
and more.
Prof. S. K. Sahoo, BITS Pilani,
Hyderabad
Bus Topology:
One long cable acts as a backbone to link all the devices.

Advantages:
•Easy of installation
•Less cabling
Disadvantages:
•Difficult fault isolation
•Reflection at the tap can degrade the quality of signal
•A fault in backbone stop all transmission
Prof. S. K. Sahoo, BITS Pilani,
Hyderabad
Ring Topology:
Here each device has a dedicated point-to-point line configuration
only with the two devices on either side of it.

Each device acts as a repeater.

Adv:
•N number of cable needed for n devices.
•To add or delete require moving only two connection
•Fault isolation is simple.
Prof. S. K. Sahoo, BITS Pilani,
Hyderabad
Hybrid Topology:
It is the combination of all the topology.
Categories of Network: ( Based on size of network)

Assignment:
1] Draw the BITS Network topology.
2] BITS has 10 license to access IEEE journals at a rate of
2lakh(Approx.) per license.By this 500 persons are assessing the
documents.How much BITS have to pay if individual license (in
the absence of LAN)will be taken.
