❒ communication channels that

connect adjacent nodes along communication path are links

    The Data Link Layer provides the connections between entities on the network it handles getting data over a specific medium. This layer handles Flow Control and layer sequencing if required. The correct sequence is preserved within the frames it also handles transit delay. This layer also checks the frame for errors using the FCS if it detects errors it discards the frame. Examples are IEEE 802.2, 802.3, HDLC, and Frame…

    Link Crew Research Paper

    The best piece of advice I have ever received came from the assistant superintendent of Webb City High School, Dr. Trey Moeller. Our school has a program called Link Crew. During the summer, the incoming freshman will come to the high school and will be split into groups. The upperclassmen will be the freshman's group leaders. The point of this program is to make the freshman more comfortable in a new environment. My freshman year at Link Crew, Dr. Moeller asked us "When is the best time to plant a tree?" The answers he got back from us were much like "summer", “spring", or "when the weather's nice". Dr Moeller says "Although those answers could work, that is not the best time to plant a tree. The best time to plant a tree is 20 years ago."…

    Network Architecture

    Recent developments in information technology have enabled collection and processing of vast amounts of personal data, business data and spatial data. It has been widely recognized that spatial data analysis capabilities have not kept up with the need for analyzing the increasingly large volumes of geographic data of various themes that are currently being collected and archived. Our study is carried out on the way to provide the mission-goal strategy (requirements) to predict the disaster. The co-location rules of spatial data mining are proved to be appropriate to design nuggets for disaster identification and the state-of-the-art and emerging scientific applications require fast access of large quantities of data. Here both resources and data are often distributed in a wide area networks with components administrated locally and independently, a framework has been suggested for the above. Our contribution in this paper is to design network architecture for disaster identification.…

    Data Communication and Networking

    DCN VIVA QUESTIONS 1. What do you mean by data communication? Ans: It is the exchange of data between two devices via some form of transmission medium such as wire cable. The communicating system must be part of a communication system made up of a combination of hardware and software. The effectiveness of a data communication system depends on three fundamental characteristics: delivery, accuracy and timeliness. 2. What is simplex? Ans: It is the mode of communication between two devices in which flow of data is unidirectional. i.e. one can transmit and other can receive. E.g. keyboard and monitor. 3. What is half-duplex? Ans: It is the mode of communication between two devices in which flow of data is bidirectional but not at the same time. ie each station can transmit and receive but not at the same time. E.g walkie-talkies are half-duplex system. 4. What is full duplex? Ans: It is the mode of communication between two devices in which flow of data is bidirectional and it occurs simultaneously. Here signals going in either direction share the capacity of the link. E.g. telephone 5. What is a network? Ans: It is a set of devices connected by communication links. A node can be a computer or any other device capable of sending and/or receiving data generated by other nodes on the network. 6. What is distributed processing? Ans: It is a strategy in which services provided by the network reside at multiple sites. 7. What is point to point connection? Ans:It provides a dedicated link between two devices. The entire capacity of the link is reserved for transmission between the two devices e.g. when we change the TV channels by remote control we establish a point to point connection between remote control and TV control system. 8. What is multipoint connection? Ans: In multipoint connection more than two specific devices share a single link. Here the capacity of the channel is shared either separately or temporally. 9. What is a topology?…
