Signaling!• Signaling is the method of representing the bits (signals)!• The Physical layer standards must define what type of signal
represents a "1" and a "0"Bits!
Modems speeds!• Bit rate (bits/s)!
– The number of bits processed per unit of time.!
• Bauds or signal rate or modulation rate (baud):!– The number of signaling events per second!
– 1 kBd = 1000 baud è 1000 symbols per second!• 1000 tones in a modem!• 1000 pulses in a line code!
1 second!

10!4 symbols per second = 4Bd!8 bits per second = 8 b/s!
Encoding!• Encoding is the symbolic grouping of bits (symbols or code
groups) prior to being presented to the media.!
• Advantages using code groups include: !– Reducing bit level error!– Helping to distinguish data bits from control bits !– Better media error detection !
!!
Encoding examples!NRZ - Non return to zero• SONET uses NRZ (light off, light on)!
• High voltage = 1; Low voltage = 0!
• Voltage does not return to 0 between bits!
Manchester encoding• Ethernet uses Manchester
encoding (10 Mbit/s)!
• XOR of clock and data!

Electrical transmission!• Data is transmitted as electrical pulses!
– A detector in the network interface of a destination device must receive a signal that can be successfully decoded to match the signal sent. !
– The timing and voltage values of these signals are susceptible to interference or "noise" from outside the communications system. !
Cabling!UTP and STP!• Unshielded Twisted Pair and
Shielded Twisted Pair!
• Four pair of twisted cables!!
Coaxial!• A single copper conductor at its
center. !• A plastic layer provides insulation
between the center conductor and a braided metal shield!
Optical transmission!• Total internal reflection.!!• Beware of:!
– Degradation of signal!– Fiber fuse!
Used to :!1. Achieve higher bandwidth !2. Span longer distances!

Know what to buy?!
N.b: these are just two ‘random’ examples to show you now (should) know what these
routers can do.!
All optical!
All optical!In an all-optical (photonic) network data goes from source to
destination without ever undergoing an optical-to-electrical (OE) conversion!
!Forget extreme applications for a moment….!…. we observe that:!
– Packet-switching uses statistical multiplexing, efficiently utilizes bandwidth for flow of variable sizes.!
– Electronic will not keep with incresease in optical components speed.!

Photonic packet switching!Goal is to enable packet-switching at rates impossible in electronic
packet switching.!!AOLS - All optical label switching !
It uses labels (20bits) converted in the electric space to make quick decision while rest of packets is on ‘hold’ !
!What about buffering? !To resolve contention need a device that is capable of temporarily
storing light:!- ODLs - optical delays lines!- Deflection routing (hot potato routing)!

Optical burst switching!In optical burst switching a source header proceeds the packet
burst.!Header travels at lower speed and in an out-of-band control channel.!Header activates path for incoming burst along the way: output port at
intermediate nodes are reserved for upcoming burst.!!
Example: JET - Just-Enough-Time protocol.!!Advantages:!
- accommodates packets of variable and fairly large size!- little or no buffering required at intermediate nodes.!
