3.3.1 Ethernet LANs 3. Switched Fast Ethernet use switched hub, not shared hub to connect work stations to form star topology. Switched hub looks at the MAC layer packets on an incoming link and switch them, in hardware, to the destination link. So more than 90% throughput is theoretically possible for each pair link. Overall throughput will depend on switching speed and architecture of the hub. * MMCN-Chapter3 * 3.3.2 Ring Networks 1. Token ring 16 Mbps bandwidth, larger than 10 Mbps Ether-net. More important is the availability of MAC-level priorities, which can be used to separate real-time data (high priority) and normal data (low priority). Similar addressing scheme to that of Ethernet, so multicasting is supported. * MMCN-Chapter3 * 3.3.2 Ring Networks Evaluation: Token Ring provides enough bandwidth for a limited number of multimedia streams. Delay guarantees can be given provided priority access and a bandwidth management scheme are used. Multicasting is available. * MMCN-Chapter3 * 3.3.2 Ring Networks 2. FDDI-Fiber Distributed Data Interface FDDI is an extension of the Token ring. In addition, FDDI uses a capacity allocation scheme that breaks traffic into synchronous and asynchronous class. A finite transmission capacity (reserved capacity) is allocated to each synchronous station. Remaining capacity is used for asynchronous traffic. * MMCN-Chapter3 * 3.3.2 Ring Networks FDDI provides deterministic guarantee for delay and a statistical guarantee for bandwidth. Evaluation: FDDI supports multimedia communication well, thanks to high bandwidth (100 Mbps), the synchronous traffic class, and available multicasting. When synchronous traffic is not supported by an adapter, a scheme similar to that for Token Ring, based on priority and a bandwidth manager, can be used. * MMCN-Chapter3 * 3.4 Multimedia transmission with ATM Problem: multiple networks. Maintaining all these separate network is a major headache. Solution: single integrated network, Called B-I
