During the 1950s,most computers were During the 1950s,most computers were similar in one respect.They had a main memory,similar in one respect.They had a main memory,a central processing unit(CPU),and peripherals.a central processing unit(CPU),and peripherals.The memory and CPU were central to the The memory and CPU were central to the system.Since then a new generation of system.Since then a new generation of computing has emerged in which computation computing has emerged in which computation and data storage need not be centralized.A user and data storage need not be centralized.A user may retrieve a program from one place,run it on may retrieve a program from one place,run it on any of a variety of processors,and send the any of a variety of processors,and send the r e s u l t t o a r e s u l t t o a third location.third location.A system connecting different devices such as A system connecting different devices such as PCs,printers,and disk drives is a network.PCs,printers,and disk drives is a network.Typically,each device in a network serves a Typically,each device in a network serves a specific purpose for one or more individuals.For specific purpose for one or more individuals.For example,a PC may sit on your desk providing example,a PC may sit on your desk providing access to information or software you need.A PC access to information or software you need.A PC may also be devoted to managing a disk drive may also be devoted to managing a disk drive containing shared files.We call it a file server.containing shared files.We call it a file server.Often a network covers a small geographic area Often a network covers a small geographic area and connects devices in a single building or and connects devices in a single building or group of buildings.Such a network is a local area group of buildings.Such a network is a local area network(LAN).A network that covers a larger network(LAN).A network that covers a larger area such as a municipality,state,country,or the area such as a municipality,state,country,or the world is called a wide area network(WAN).world is called a wide area network(WAN).Generally speaking,most networks may Generally speaking,most networks may involve many people using many PCs,each of involve many people using many PCs,each of which can access any of many printers or servers.which can access any of many printers or servers.With all these people accessing information,With all these people accessing information,their requests inevitably will conflicttheir requests inevitably will conflict11.Consequently,the devices must be connected inConsequently,the devices must be connected in a way that permits an orderly transfer of a way that permits an orderly transfer of information for all concerned.A good analogy is information for all concerned.A good analogy is a street layout in a large city.With only one a street layout in a large city.With only one person driving it matters little where the streets person driving it matters little where the streets are,which ones are one-way,where the traffic are,which ones are one-way,where the traffic signals are,or how they are synchronized.But signals are,or how they are synchronized.But with thousands of the cars on the streets during with thousands of the cars on the streets during the morning rush hour,a bad layout will create the morning rush hour,a bad layout will create congestion that causes major delays.The same is congestion that causes major delays.The same is true of computer networks.They must be true of computer networks.They must be connected in a way that allows data to travel connected in a way that allows data to travel among many users with little or no delay.We call among many users with little or no delay.We call the connection strategy the network topology.the connection strategy the network topology.The best topology depends on the types of The best topology depends on the types of devices and user needs.What works well for one devices and user needs.What works well for one group may perform dismally for another.group may perform dismally for another.Fig.4-16.A common bus topology.Some common network topologies are described Some common network topologies are described as following.as following.Fig.4-16 shows a common bus topology(or Fig.4-16 shows a common bus topology(or simply bus topology)connecting devices such as simply bus topology)connecting devices such as workstations,mainframes,and file servers.They workstations,mainframes,and file servers.They communicate through a single bus(a collection communicate through a single bus(a collection of parallel lines).A common approach gives each of parallel lines).A common approach gives each device an interface that listens to the bus and device an interface that listens to the bus and examines its data traffic.If an interface examines its data traffic.If an interface determines that data are destined for the device determines that data are destined for the device it serves,it reads the data from the bus and it serves,it reads the data from the bus and transfers it to the device.Similarly,if a device transfers it to the device.Similarly,if a device wants to transmit data,the interface circuit wants to transmit data,the interface circuit sense when the bus is empty and then transmit sense when the bus is empty and then transmit data.This is not unlike waiting on a freeway data.This is not unlike waiting on a freeway entrance ramp during rush hour.You sense an entrance ramp during rush hour.You sense an opening and either quickly dart to it or muscleopening and either quickly dart to it or muscle your way through,depending on whether youre your way through,depending on whether youre driving a subcompact or a large truck.driving a subcompact or a large truck.Sometimes,two devices try to transmit Sometimes,two devices try to transmit simultaneously.Each one detects an absence of simultaneously.Each one detects an absence of traffic and begins transmitting before becoming traffic and begins transmitting before becoming aware of the other devices transmission.The aware of the other devices transmission.The result is a collision of signals.As the devices result is a collision of signals.As the devices transmit they continue to listen to the bus and transmit they continue to listen to the bus and detect the noise resulting from the collisions.detect the noise resulting from the collisions.When a device detects a collision it stops When a device detects a collision it stops transmitting,waits a random period of time,and transmitting,waits a random period of time,and tries again.This process,called Carrier Sense,tries again.This process,called Carrier Sense,Multiple Access with Collision Detection Multiple Access with Collision Detection(CSMA/CD)will be discussed later.(CSMA/CD)will be discussed later.One popular common bus network is an One popular common bus network is an Ethernet.Its common bus typically is Ethernet Ethernet.Its common bus typically is Ethernet cable,which consists of copper,optical fiber,or cable,which consists of copper,optical fiber,or combinations of both.Its design allows combinations of both.Its design allows terminals,PCs,disk storage systems,and office terminals,PCs,disk storage systems,and office machines to communicate.A major advantage of machines to communicate.A major advantage of an Ethernet is the ability to add new devices to an Ethernet is the ability to add new devices to the network easily.the network easily.Another common connecting arrangement is Another common connecting arrangement is the star topology,shown in Fig.4-17.It uses a the star topology,shown in Fig.4-17.It uses a central computer that communicates with other central computer that communicates with other devices in the network.Control is centralized;if devices in the network.Control is centralized;if device wants to communicate,it does so only device wants to communicate,it does so only through the central computer.The computer,in through the central computer.The computer,in turn,routes the data to its destination.turn,routes the data to its destination.Centralization provides a focal point forCentralization provides a focal point for responsibility,an advantage of the star topology.responsibility,an advantage of the star topology.The bus topology,however,has some advantages The bus topology,however,has some advantages over a star topology.The lack of central control over a star topology.The lack of central control makes adding new devices easy because no makes adding new devices easy because no device needs to be aware of others.In addition,device needs to be aware of others.In addition,the failure or removal of a device in a bus the failure or removal of a device in a bus network does not cause the network to fail.In a network does not cause the network to fail.In a star topology,the failure of the central computer star topology,the failure of the central computer brings down the entire network.brings down the entire network.Fig.4-17.The star topology.Star topologies often involve a single Star topologies often involve a single mainframe computer that services many mainframe computer that services many ter mi na

bidirectional.Unidirectional means that all bidirectional.Unidirectional means that all transmissions travel in the same direction.Thus,transmissions travel in the same direction.Thus,each device can communicate with only one each device can communicate with only one neighbor.Bidirectional means that data neighbor.Bidirectional means that data transmissions travel in either direction,that is,a transmissions travel in either direction,that is,a device can communicate with both neighbors.device can communicate with both neighbors.Ring topologies such as IBMs token ring Ring topologies such as IBMs token ring network often connect PCs in a single office or network often connect PCs in a single office or department.Applications from one PC thus can department.Applications from one PC thus can access data stored on others without requiring a access data stored on others without requiring a mainframe to coordinate communicationsmainframe to coordinate communications33.Instead,communications are coordinated by Instead,communications are coordinated by passing a token among all the stations in the passing a token among all the stations in the ring.A station can send something only when it ring.A station can send something only when it receives the token.receives the token.A disadvantage of the ring topology is that A disadvantage of the ring topology is that when one station sends to another,all stations in when one station sends to another,all stations in between are involved.More time is spent between are involved.More time is spent
