DLCI - Data Link Connection Identifier: Identifies logical connection (within multiplexed channel) with which the frame is associated

CR - Command Response: Not used in DL-CORE protocols EA - Address Field Extension Bit: 0 indicates another octet comingFECN - Forward Explicit Congestion Notification: Notifies to initiate congestion

avoidance (e.g., We got a lot of stuff coming.)BECN - Backward Explicit Congestion Notification: Notifies to initiate congestion

avoidance in the opposite direction of frame (e.g., We see congestion on ourreceive side.)

38

Frame Relay vs. ATM

• ATM– 25Mbps - OC12+– Low Overhead– CRC at End

Nodes– High QoS– Fixed Payload

• Frame Relay– 56Kbps - T3– Low Overhead– CRC at End

Nodes Only– Limited QoS– Variable Packet

39

Gigabit Ethernet

• Supports Shared & Switched Configurations

• Switching Accomplished by:

– MAC Addressing (Layer 2 Switching)

– Network Layer Addressing (Layer 3 Switching)

– ATM

Decibells & Logarithms

Converting watts to dB (or milliwatts to dBm): 10 log10 1000 watts = 30 dBw

Converting dB to watts (or dBm to milliwatts):30 dBw = log-1, or log-1 (3) or 10 raised

to the 3rd power = 103 = 1000 watts

35 dBw = 103.5 = 3162.3 watts

Note: There’s a point between the 3 & 5.

Note: The same relationship holds with dBm and miliwatts

Nyquist Nyquist Nyquist

Nyquist: The maximum practical data rate (samples) per channel.

Max R = 2 H log2 V

Logarithmic function to the base 2: For each # V, log V = the exponent to which 2 must be raised to produce V. Then if V = 16, the log2 of V = 4. If V = 2, the log2 of V = 1.

Then what is the maximum practical data rate for BPSK signal on a line with a bandwidth of 3000 Hz?

What is the maximum practical data rate for a QPSK signal on a line with a bandwidth of 3000 Hz?

45

Shannon Shannon Shannon

Shannon: The maximum theoretical data rate per channel.

Max R = CBW x log2 (1 + S/N)

[CBW = H in Nyquist Theorem]

Then what is the maximum practical data rate for signal with a 30 dB S/N on a line with a bandwidth of 3000 Hz?
