1、UNIT 16 Introduction to Computer Networksn New words and Technical Terms peripheral congestion topology dismally mainframe bus dart muscle Ethernet terminal circularly bidirectional token n Text During the 1950s,most computers were During the 1950s,most computers were similar in one respect.They had
2、 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 gener
3、ation 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 vari

6、 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
7、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 larg
8、er 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
9、 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 w
10、ill 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 con
11、cerned.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
12、 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 congestio
13、n 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
14、 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.W
15、hat 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 sho
16、ws 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 colle
17、ction 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 da
18、ta 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 inter
19、face 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 du
20、ring 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
21、 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
22、 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 resul
23、ting 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,Mul
24、tiple 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
25、 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.
