A model employing conservative calculations 2. A model employing IEEE standardised configuration aids with two phase calculation (first the correct round trip signal propagation, than the amount of Interframe Gap shrinkage) • System not built with these guidelines can work, but usually not for a long time • Especially a growing network (by size or traffic load) should not violate this recommendations (IEEE 802.3) Broadband Network Technologies IEEE 802.3 Ethernet 1 Configuration Rules (cont.) – Model 1 R 10Base-FL link 500m 10Base-5 mixing 10Base-FL link 500m 500m 10Base-5 mixing R R 500m DTE 1 R DTE 2 10Base-T link 100m DTE 3 185m 10Base-2 mixing R Broadband Network Technologies Repeater IEEE 802.3 Ethernet 1 Configuration Rules (cont.) – Model 2 • Defines two sets of methods, which have to be performed both • First set ensures that the round trip signal propagation is within the limits • Second set verifies the amount of Interframe Gap shrinkage • A simplified network topology (Generalised Transmission Path Model) is used to for the path delay calculation DTE 1 MAU MAU Repeater left segment Broadband Network Technologies MAU MAU middle segment Repeater MAU MAU DTE 2 right segment IEEE 802.3 Ethernet 1 Part 2: IEEE 802.3u Fast Ethernet Part 1: IEEE 802.3 Ethernet Part 2: IEEE 802.3u Fast Ethernet – Introduction – 100Base-T Overview – 100Base-TX – 100Base-FX – 100Base-T4 Ethernet / Fast Ethernet Switch Ethernet / Fast Ethernet Switch Part 3: IEEE 802.3z Gigabit Ethernet Fast Ethernet Hub Broadband Network Technologies IEEE 802.3 Ethernet 1 Fast Ethernet – Technological Overview I • Two different technologies exist for 100MBit/s Ethernet – IEEE 802.3u 100Base-T (100Base-TX, 100Base-FX, 100Base-T4, 100Base-T2) – IEEE 802.12 100VG-AnyLAN • 100Base-T – supports the common Ethernet mechanisms (CSMA/CD) • 100VG-AnyLAN – creates an entirely new medium access control mechanism – is based on hubs that control access to the medium using a demand priority – further extended to allow to transport token ring frames Broadband Network Technologies IEEE 802.3 Ethernet 1 Fast Ethernet – Technological Overview II 100 MBit/s Ethernet 100VG-AnyLAN 100Base-T 100Base-T2 100Base-X 100Base-TX Broadband Network Technologies 100Base-4 100Base-FX IEEE 802.3 Ethernet 1 IEEE 802.u Fast Ethernet • Aims of the IEEE 802.3u Fast Ethernet working group – support of CSMA/CD with bit rate of 100 MBit/s – identical MAC frame format – support of twisted pair and fibre optics as physical medium – interoperability between 10Base-T and 100Base-TX components • Fast Ethernet Consortium develops technology and is accepted by the IEEE 802.3u working group • The Fast Ethernet Consortium was formed in December of 1993 and is one of the consortiums at the University of New Hampshire Inter Operability Lab (IOL). The Consortium was formed through the cooperative agreement of vendors interested in testing Fast Ethernet products.

UTP cat 5 cable) PHY eight pin jack MDI Ethernet interface (100Base-TX) Broadband Network Technologies IEEE 802.3 Ethernet 2 100Base-TX (cont.) – Components II • • 100Base-TX segments are link segments A link segment is defined as a point-to-point medium – connects two and only two MDIs – smallest network would consist of two computers • Typical installation uses multiport repeater hubs or packet switching hubs – provides a connection between a larger number of link segments – NIC on one end, hub on the other end of the segment – hubs can connect as many segments as ports available – computers all communicate via the hub • • Segment up to 100m Two 100m segments segments can be connected through a single Class I or Class II repeater System with a total diameter of 200 meters between DTEs • Broadband Network Technologies IEEE 802.3 Ethernet 2 100Base-T (cont.) – Repeater I Data Circuit Equipment (repeater, hub) • Ethernet ports on repeaters do not use an Ethernet interface – A repeater port connects to the Fast Ethernet media system with the same PHY and MDI equipment – moving the signals directly from segment to segment, therefore, do not contain Ethernet interfaces (since they do not operate at the level of Ethernet frames) – a repeater hub may be equipped with an Ethernet interface to provide a way to communicate with the hub over the network (allows a vendor to provide a management interface in the hub) • Two kinds of repeaters in the 100Base-T system (labelled with the Roman number "I" or "II" centred within a circle) – Class I – Class II Broadband Network Technologies IEEE 802.3 Ethernet 2 100Base-T (cont.) – Repeater II Class I repeater have larger timing delays – operates by translating line signals on an incoming port to digital form – then retranslating them to line signals when sending them out on the other ports – repeats signals between media segments that use different signalling techniques (e.g. 100Base-TX/FX and 100Base-T4 segments) – only one Class I repeater can be used in a given collision domain when maximum cable lengths are used • • Class II repeater is restricted to smaller timing delays – immediately repeats the incoming signal to all other ports – connected only to segment types that use the same signalling technique a maximum of two Class II repeaters can be used within a given collision domain when maximum cable lengths are used Segment types with different signalling techniques cannot be mixed together in a Class II repeater hub Broadband Network Technologies IEEE 802.3 Ethernet 2 100Base-TX (cont.) – Link Integrity Test • PHY continually monitors the receive data path for activity – checks that the link is working correctly (also in idle periods) – signalling system is based on the ANSI FDDI signalling • Twisted-pair transceivers that use 8-pin MDI connectors also send and receive link pulses – called Fast Link Pulses (FLP) – used in the Auto-Negotiation mechanism – allows a multi-speed hub to detect the speed of operation of an Ethernet device – hub can adjust the speed of its ports accordingly Broadband Network Technologies IEEE 802.3 Ethernet 2 100Base-FX – Components class II

PHY eight pin jack MDI Ethernet interface (100Base-T4) Broadband Network Technologies IEEE 802.3 Ethernet 3 100Base-T4 - Components • • • Old „voice-grade“ twisted pair (Cat3) has high attenuation and electromagnetic radiation UTP Cat3 is only defined up to 16 Mbit/s Radiation is limited by the authorities above 30 MHz • • Therefore 4 pairs working in parallel at 25 Mbit/s Special attention ís paid to signal encoding Broadband Network Technologies IEEE 802.3 Ethernet 3 Migration – From Ethernet to Fast Ethernet • Fast Ethernet is compatible with Ethernet – shared medium, too – CSMA/CD is the same – old cabling can be used, if UTP cat 5 – 10Base-T network cards can be connected to 100Base-T equipment • Differences – new network cards needed (dual cards available) – coax cable no longer supported – integration can be accomplished with switches rather then routers – maximum hop count between stations (repeater, hub) is 2 (Ethernet: 4), larger networks have to employ bridges, switches, or routers – maximum network diameter between two stations in the same segment is 205 m (twisted pair) Broadband Network Technologies IEEE 802.3 Ethernet 3 Migration (cont.) – Cable Pinout •

Seldom makes sense to the desktop; use for servers only: • Most existing PCs cannot take advantage of 100 MBit/s • Costs of changing adapters Obvious upgrade path: • Low cost; no adapter change • Leverages existing PCs • No cable change • Multimedia capable New Workgroups For power users and peak bandwidth needs • 100MBit/s peak bandwidth for CAD/CAM, graphics, 3D Modelling, etc. • Only slightly higher costs than switched 10MBit/S • Ideal for PCs and PCI PCs and UNIX workstations Or standard business applications and aggregate bandwidth needs • Lower costs • Standard Ethernet cabling
