Such structuring is effectively achieved through a system called Backbone. Structured wiring combined with Backbone solution provide a powerful and efficient networking solution to company-wide communication needs.,Backbone Basics (Cont.),Key Factors in assessing network topologies: Performance Highest network availability. Lowest latency. Most appropriate connectivity for users. Scalability Ability to expand the network in terms of end-points and aggregate bandwidth without affecting existing users.,Backbone Basics (Cont.),Cost of administration: The inherent ease of moves, adds, and changes, plus the capability to efficiently diagnose, remedy, or prevent network outages. Structured Backbone solutions offer Flexibility Scalability Troubleshooting & Manageability Performance,Structured Cabling,Cabling plan should be easy to: implement, and accommodates future growth. Two standards have been issued that specify cabling types and layout for structured commercial buildings wiring. A network should follow a cabling plan: Selection of cable types Cable layout topology,Structured Cabling Standards,EIA/TIA-568: Issued jointly by the Electronic Industries Association and the Telecommunications Industry Assoc. ISO 11801: Issued by the International Organization for Standardization. Both Standards are similar.,Structured Cabling (Cont.),It is a generic wiring scheme with the following characteristics: Wiring within a commercial building. Cabling to support all forms of information transfer. Cable selection and layout is independent of vendor and end-user equipment. Cable layout designed to encompass distribution to all work areas within the building (relocation wouldnt need rewiring).,Structured Cabling (Cont.),Based on the use of a hierarchical star-wired cable layout. External cables terminate at Equipment Room (ER). Patch panel and cross-connect hardware connect ER to Internal Distribution Cable. Typically, first level of distribution consists of Backbone cables. Backbone cable(s) run from ER to Telecom Closets (Wiring Closets) on each floor.,Structured Cabling (Cont.),Wiring Closet contains cross-connect equipment for interconnecting cable on a single floor to the Backbone. Cable distributed on a single floor is called Horizontal Cabling, and connects the Backbone to Wall Outlets that service individual telephone and data equipment.,Structured Cabling (Cont.),Based on the use of a hierarchical star-wired cable layout.,External Cable,Telecom.

A single fiber pair replaces mounds of coax cable, and floor-to-floor traffic is systematically organized. With Structure comes enhanced network control reliability, and efficiency.,Structured Backbone (Cont.),Structured backbone = structured, hierarchical physical star wiring scheme.,Mainframe,MUX,MUX,MUX,Structured Backbone(Cont.),The first information backbone emerged in the mid 1980s. An enterprise backbone is an aggregate data path (a central communication highway) for the transport of all signals to / from users distributed throughout the enterprise. Early backbones were mainly muxes.,Structured Backbone(Cont.),The enterprise network is usually comprised of three main parts: The horizontal access portion: Connecting individual workstations to wiring closets and most often accomplished via an intelligent cabling Hub. The Backbone portion: Facilitating floor-to-floor or building-to-building connectivity.,Structured Backbone (Cont.),The Wide Area Network link,Horizontal access,Backbone,WAN Interface,When are Backbones needed?,Companies utilizing Backbone techno-logy have typically one or more of the following communication needs: Multiple data protocols and signals.

Designed for and continued to be used predominantly in the mainframe environment. Suitable for situations when a mixture of LAN and host-to-terminal traffic needs to be supported via a common Backbone. A Mux is a device that simultaneously transmits several messages or signals across a single channel or data path.,Multiplexer-Based Backbones,Two primary types of Backbone Muxes in use today: Time Division Mux (TDM). Statistical or Stat Mux.,Time Division Muxes,A TDM combines signals onto a high speed link, and then sends those signals sequentially at fixed time intervals. Each user interface is allocated a time slot within which its data is transmitted. Data is usually sent one char at a time Combined signal rates 100 Mbps.,Time Division Muxes,Ethernet,Token Ring,Mainframe,Ethernet,Token Ring,Mainframe,MTEMTE,MTEMTE,.,.,.,Aggregate pathway,Muxing,De-Muxing,TDM Strengths,+ Dedicated bandwidth partitions = Guaranteed throughput & no loss. + Versatile & scaleable. + Low cost compared to Stat.

Attempts to move as much data as possible across the common channel. Combined bandwidth of all sources exceeds the available bandwidth. Allocates time slots on-demand, constantly evaluating traffic needing to be sent (based on priority).,Stat-Mux (Cont.),In case demand exceeds capacity, lower-priority traffic is off-loaded into a buffer and delayed for retransmission during a non-peak period =More complex front-end management. Greater degree of intelligence. Greater computer power.,Stat-Mux Strengths,+ Supports more data than available bandwidth = better bandwidth utilization. + Critical data can be given higher priority.,Stat-Mux Weaknesses,- Requires more management and more expensive to operate. - Low priority data can suffer excessive delays. - Data may get lost.

Actually, any legacy LAN such as Ethernet or Token Ring can be called a backbone LANs constitute the primary datapaths.,LAN Backbones (Cont.),In the broader context of Backbones, the key LAN standard that has far-reaching Backbone-based applications is the Fiber Distributed Data Interface (FDDI). FDDI is (still?) the dominant LAN Backbone in use. It provides standards-based connectivity for legacy LANs (Ethernet & Token Ring).,LAN Backbones (Cont.),Token Ring,Ethernet,Token Ring,Ethernet,Ethernet,Token Ring,All of the protocols are converted to the FDDI transport protocol,Data is Bridged/Routed from the high-speed Backbone to destination LAN,LAN Backbones (Cont.),FDDI complements existing LANs by providing a high-speed path upon which all LAN protocols can be transported.
