Outline
• Introduction
– Why care about telecom/networking? Why
should non-IT business students learn basics
about telecom/networking?
• Some basics about Telecom/Networking
– Analogy with effective human communication
Why telecom/networking?
Some Reasons
Some Basic Characteristics of Effective Human Communication
• Sender/Receiver
• Messages (Words)
• Transmission Media
Air/Printed Page
• Speak same language or have an Interpreter
• Less noisy room (or) talk loud
Some Basic Characteristics of
Telecommunication Networks
Wired Transmission Media
• Twisted Pair Cables
• Coaxial Cables (Cable TV)
• Fiber Optic Cables
• Wavelength Division Multiplexing
Wireless Transmission
• Infrared (as in a TV remote)
• Radio Signals (as in microwave transmissions)
• Satellites
– GEOS: Geosynchronous Earth Orbiting Satellites –
stationary orbit at 22,300 miles above the Earth
– LEOS: Low Earth Orbiting Satellites
•
•
•
•
Closer to the Earth and reachable from mobile devices
200-1,000 miles above the Earth
Not stationary, goes around the Earth in about 90 minutes
60-70 LEOS are needed to cover the Earth

Communication Protocols
• Speak same language or have an
interpreter
– HTTP (Hyper Text Transfer Protocol)
– SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol)
– TCP (Transmission Control Protocol)
– IP (Internet Protocol)
– Ethernet
Communication Protocols (Continued)
• Ethernet
– Media Access Control (Traffic Cop – Who has access
to transmission media and when? How to
handle/resolve collisions?)
– Error Detection/Correction
– Message Delineation (Identifying beginning and
ending of packets – framing)
• TCP
– Packetizing (Breaking messages into smaller packets
and reassembling packets in the correct order)
– Keeping track of packet #s
Communication Protocols (Continued)
• IP
– Addressing (DHCP and DNS)
– Routing
• Tracert www.__________
• Tracert www.stfx.ca
Some Internetworking Devices
• Routers, hubs, switches
– routers use routing rules to forward packets to
the next appropriate destination
– hubs forward all packets on all connected
wires
– switches keep track of which computer is on
each line and send packets only to the
desired destination
Routers
This is how packets find their way
around the Internet

Hubs vs. Switches:
Switching increases performance, security,
and cost

Network Design
How to support full connectivity?
• Design the most economic
internetwork between “end-user
nodes” and an existing WAN

Some Network Design Issues
Major Cost Components
• A Multiplexer (MUX) consolidates network traffic from
several users on slower links and connects them to a
fast link (e.g. a WAN such as the Internet).
• Acquisition and installation costs of a MUX
• Cost of high bandwidth link between MUX
and WAN (Internet)
• Cost of low bandwidth link between end-user
node and MUX
Some Network Design Issues
(Continued)
• Find an optimal number of MUXs to interconnect all
given user nodes to some existing WAN such that ...
All user nodes are connected
User communication requirements are satisfied
Capacity constraints on each MUX is not violated
Total internetworking costs are minimized
Topology issues are considered
