www.pnj.ac.idThings to consider…

• Shared Ethernet works very well – within limits

• What things cause problems that reduce bandwidth in a shared environment?

www.pnj.ac.idLayer 2 Bridging

• A bridge can be used to create two collision domains

• Source MAC address of a frame and the associated incoming switch port are added to the address table

Switch Operation

• Switch – a multiport Bridge

• Divides collision domain into many smaller collision domains

• Full-Duplex technology

Multiple paths means that frames can loop

www.pnj.ac.idSwitch Modes

• Store and Forward - A switch receives the entire frame before sending it out the destination port.

• Cut-Through - A switch starts to transfer the frame as soon as the destination MAC address is received.

• Fragment-Free - Read the first 64 octets only to obtain the header information

–Therefore misses the CRC for checking

Spanning Tree Protocol moves from blocking to listening to learning and then to forwarding or disabled.

www.pnj.ac.idWhat is a segment?

From the previous slide the three definitions of a segment are:

• Term used in the TCP specification to describe a single transport layer unit of information.

• Section of a network that is bounded by bridges, routers, or switches.

• In a LAN using a bus topology, a segment is a continuous electrical circuit that is often connected to other such segments with repeaters.
