Behavior of data signals propagated through a transmission medium, twisted pair, coaxial cable, optical fiber, and wireless (microwave radio and infrared). Distinction between digital and analog data; and digital and analog transmission; Differentiation between asynchronous and synchronous communication. Data link control protocols, the cooperative point-to-point exchange of data between two devices. Error detection, error and flow control. Frequency-division multiplexing (FDM) and time-division multiplexing (TDM). Packet-switched networks, network routing and congestion control. Basic concepts of frame relay and cell relay networks (ATM); Traditional LANs, Ethernet and token ring. Bridges, routers and basic principles of internetworking (IP). Host to host transport protocol mechanisms (TCP) and Network management tools, techniques, and services.
