NYITCourse Outline

This course provides an introduction to the fundamentals and the applications of data communications networks. Network architectures, topology, protocols, network services and models will be discussed. Some of the protocols the course will cover are: Protocols based on Internet Protocol (IP) (Layer 3 and above) Routing fundamentals and protocols within IP Network (Layer 3 and

above) Ethernet (10/100 Mb/s, 1/10/100(??) Gb/s Ethernet) (LAN, Metro and

Wide Area Networks) Synchronous Optical Networks (SONET) (Wide Area Network) Optical Transport Hierarchy (OTH) (Wide Area Network) MultiProtocol Label Switching (MPLS) (Layer 2.5) Switching and routing architectures will be presented

(Hardware/Software implementation architectures) Time permitting we will cover some aspects of Cellular Networking

and Next Generation Network Architecture (NGN) (Time permitting) Services provided by various networks (Time permitting) Network Security (Time permitting) OPNET (a premier network simulator) maybe be used in simulating

various aspects of networking concepts.K Kazi CSCI 370 3

Grading Policy

Assignments & short quizzes 30% 1 Midterm Test 30% Final Project 40% Final Projects will be in any topic of interest within the Data

Networking field There will be an Oral presentation of the project along with a

written report Class participation can sway the grade (so highly

encouraged, don’t be shy to ASK questions) You are expected to write programs for various the

assignments and the Final Project NYIT’s Academic Integrity policy will be strictly

enforced. Any student found to be cheating (in the assignments, quizzes, Midterm etc.) will get a straight “F”

NYITDo’s and Don’ts for the Final Project

DO NOT use any report / design from the net. I will know if you did!!

Properly referenced work that is not plagiarized is acceptable

Most of it should be your work!! Select the topic that interests you. Be creative in it!

Designing some aspect in software or hardware will be highly encouraged as opposed to doing an overview/report on some networking technology

By mid semester have a good idea of your project Team of 2 students working on the same project is

allowed. Each team member’s task within the project should be

explicitly defined.

NYITIntended Results at the Culmination of the Course You should have a good understanding of

networking technologies Should be able to architecturally design

various components of the diverse networks Design of a router/switching Network Element

Protocol Handling/protocol stacksRouting and switchingHave a good understanding of various

WAN/MAN/LAN Technologies Ability to figure out which aspect is

implemented in hardware and what is designed in the software

NYITImplication of the Designs we work

on; keep few things in mind! During the design process we always make trade-offs Trade-offs can be based on time to market, cost

implications, complexity, environmental considerations etc.

Ethics: Keep in mind the implications of what you are designing, how it impacts the society!! Privacy vs. Security is a big issue in networking

Network designs inherently deal with Implementing of standardized solutions based on regional or global

standards developed by industry forums or international standards organizations

Power consumption considerations: Making the Designs Green; Environmental friendly!! Especially true for Data Centers

NYITMethods to Save EnergyReduce Link Rate

Can (and does) save energySome NICs drop link rate when a laptop is

battery powered–Or, when a PC goes into sleep stateTurns-off PHY if no signal on link

Match the link rate to utilizationHigh utilization = high link rateLow utilization = low link rate

Currently implemented using auto-negotiationSet the Technology ability bits/message codes

and then reset the linkTakes about 1000 milliseconds (a loooooooong

timeK Kazi CSCI 370

NYITMethods to Save Energy

Need for fast transitions Can extend the benefits of link data rate reduction

By making the data rate transition faster Need a faster way than auto-negotiation

When I need high data rate, I need it now Can’t advertise the desire to change to a higher speed

Need a mechanism that is transparent to upper layers

Need a standard mechanism to rapidly transition: From low to high data rate From high to low data rate

Within the capabilities established by Auto Negotiation

IEEE Working Group 802.3AZ is working on the Energy Efficient Ethernet PHY specification
