Introduction
1-1 DATA COMMUNICATIONS
The term telecommunication means communication at a
distance. The word data refers to information presented
in whatever form is agreed upon by the parties creating
and using the data. Data communications are the
exchange of data between two devices via some form of
transmission medium such as a wire cable.
What is Architecture?
Architecture is a set of rules and conventions
used to build something
It does not specify implementation details
It is a model- a framework of standard
A standard based on the model can be
implemented

telephone system
Connection less: Modeled after postal system

Data Link Layer
This layer transforms the physical layer to a
reliable transmission /reception of structured
stream.
The following functions are included in this layer
Framing
Physical addressing
Synhronization
Error control
Flow control

Network Layer
Responsible for source to destination delivery by
establishing, maintaining and terminating
connections.
Logical addressing
Assembly disassembly of messages
Message priorities
Internetworking (heterogenious)
Routing
Virtual circuits
Datagram service

Transport Layer
Responsible for true end to end communication
QoS required by session layers
Port adderssing
Connection control
Monitors QoS
Multiplexing

Session Layer
Establishes termination and connection.
Performs dialog management.
Who speakes, when, how long
Simplex, half-duplex, duplex
Recovery using check pointing
Token management

Application Layer
Concerned wit user application
Common application service elements (case)-
login, password, checks.
Specific application service elements
File transfer, access and management
Job transfer and manipulation.
E-mail
Vediotex, teletex, telefax, etc..
