Global Addressing Virtual Circuit Identifier Three Phases Data Transfer Phase Setup Phase Teardown Phase

3 Virtual circuit wide area network

4 Global Addressing In virtual circuit networks, global addressing is used only to create a virtual circuit identifier.

5 Virtual Circuit Identifier (VCI)
Each switch can use its own unique set of VCIs

6 Three Phases

7 Three Phases In the setup phase, the source and destination use their global addresses to help switches make table entries for the connection. In the teardown phase, the source and destination inform the switches to erase the corresponding entry. Data transfer phase occurs between these two phases.

8 Data Transfer Phase To transfer a frame from a source to its destination, all switches need to have a table entry for this virtual circuit.

9 Data Transfer Phase (cont’d)
Source-to-destination data Transfer

10 Setup Phase How does a switch create a switch create an entry for a virtual circuit? Permanent virtual circuit (PVC) approach Switched virtual circuit (SVC) approach

11 Permanent Virtual Circuit (PVC)
Simple way Like a leased line The corresponding table entry is recorded for all switches by the administrator (of course remotely and electrically) In the duplex communication, two virtual circuit are established.

12 Switched Virtual Circuit (SVC)
Creating temporary and short connection that exists only when data are being transferred between source and destination. Setup request VCI (77) lets the destination know that the frames come from A, and not other sources

13 SVC (cont’d) SVC setup acknowledgment

14 Teardown Phase In this phase, source A, after sending all frames to B, sends a special frame called a teardown request. Destination B responds with a teardown confirmation frame. All switches erase the corresponding entry from their tables.

15 X.25 vs. Frame Relay Feature X.25 Frame Relay Connection establishment
At the network layer None Hop-by-hop flow control and error control At the data link layer End-to-end flow control Data rate Fixed Bursty Multiplxing Congestion control Not necessary Necessary

16 X.25 vs. Frame Relay

17 Features of Frame Relay
Operating in higher speed such as Mbps, 45Mbps Operating in just the physical and data link layers Allowing bursty data Allowing a frame size of 9000 bytes, which can accommodate all local area network fame sizes less expensive Error detection at the data link layer only no flow control or error control

18 Architecture

19 Virtual Circuit A virtual circuit in FR is identified by a number called a data link connection identifier (DLCI) Using PVC

21 FR Switch 교환기 (Switch) 프레임 경로를 지정해주는 Table 이용

22 FR Layers Frame Relay operates only at the physical and data link layers Frame Relay does not provide flow or error control; they must be provided by the upper-layer protocols.

23 Frame Relay frame EA 0 : meaning that another address byte is to follow DE 1 : not to discard this frame

24 Frame Relay frame

25 Congestion Control 혼잡 회피(Congestion avoidance)
혼잡이 일어났음을 발신지와 목적지에게 알리기 위해 2개의 비트 사용 BECN(Backward Explicit Congestion Notification) 트래픽 혼잡이 일어났다는 것을 송신자에게 경고하는데 사용

26 Congestion Control FECN(Forward Explicit Congestion Notification)
트래픽 혼잡이 일어났다는 것을 수신자에게 경고하는데 사용

27 Congestion Control 4 cases of congestion

28 FRAD

29 ATM Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) is the cell relay protocol by the ATM Forum and adopted by the ITU-T

30 Design Requirements 고속 전송률 매체(광섬유) 사용을 최적화할 수 있는 전송시스템 필요
기존 시스템 (패킷 네트워크) 과 연결할 수 있는 시스템 필요 비용이 적게 들게 설계 다른 것과 호환성을 갖도록 기존의 전기통신 구조 체계 지원 정확성과 예측 가능한 배달을 보증하기 위한 연결 중심(connection-oriented) 하드웨어에 많은 기능을 부여하여 소프트웨어 기능 처리로 인한 감속 제거

31 Multiplexing using different frame sizes

32 Cell Networks A cell network uses the cell as the basic unit of data exchange. A cell is defined as a small, fixed-sized block of information.
