原创 The Broadcast Channel Allocation Problem

Network links can be divided into two categories: those using point-to-point connections and those using broadcast channels. In any broadcast network, the key issue is how to determine who gets to u

原创 A Utopian Simplex Protocol

We will consider a Utopian simplex data link protocol that is as simple as it can be because it does not worry about the possibility of anything going wrong. Data are transmitted in one direction on

原创 Error Detection And Correction

Communication channels have a range of characteristics. Some channels, like optical fiber in telecommunications networks, have tiny error rates so that transmission errors are a rare occurrence. But

原创 The Maximum Data Rate of a Channel

In 1924, an AT&T engineer, Henry Nyquist, realized that even a perfect channel has a finite transmission capacity. He derived an equation expressing the maximum data rate for a finite-bandwidth nois

原创 A Critique of the Models and Protocols of OSI & TCP/IP

Neither the OSI model and its protocols nor the TCP/IP model and its protocols are perfect. The criticism of the OSI model and its protocols can be summarized as: 1. Bad timing. 2

原创 A Comparison of the OSI and TCP/IP Reference Models

The OSI and TCP/IP reference models have much in common. Both are based on the concept of a stack of independent protocols. Also, the functionality of the layers is roughly similar. Despite these fu

原创 Introduction to the TCP/IP Reference Model

Regarding the reference model (not OSI) used in the grandparent of all wide area computer networks, the ARPANET, and its successor, the worldwide Internet, when satellite and radio networks were add

原创 Introduction to the OSI Reference Model

The OSI model (minus the physical medium) is showed below. The model is called the OSI (Open Sytems Interconnection) reference model because it deals with connecting open systems—that is, systems th
