Physical layer (was Re: a ccna question-help)

2000-07-29 Thread Howard C. Berkowitz

Four of the five (well, FR in some new specs for things like inverse 
multiplexing) deal with the physical layer.  Do remember, however, 
that the original OSI definitions of layering came from a 
telephony/WAN perspective, and did not consider LANs.

Their physical layer specification is, indeed, a protocol.  Most 
physical layer specifications do not actually define the 
characteristics of the medium, although they do make assumptions 
about the medium. But specifying the pulse shapes, clocking, etc., 
certainly is a protocol about how to use the medium.

Data link protocols, among other things, deal with the interactions 
of multiple devices on a shared medium.

Physical protocols deal with the interactions of single devices with 
a medium.  For example, RS-232, RS-422/423, V.35, 10BaseT, 10Base5...

Medium specifications deal with the medium itself.  Media are less 
likely to be standardized by the same bodies that generate 
higher-layer protocol specifications.

Dale, this is the dark side of the certification frenzy. Too many places
hiring too many people to write too many practice tests using too many
sources with accurate and inaccurate information, not to mention inadequate
understanding. The result is much confusion.

For example, is it an OSPF database, or an OSPF table? Is UDP layer 4 or
layer 7 ( as I have seen argued ) Is ethernet connection oriented or
connectionless? Is Cisco frame relay standards based or proprietary? ( saw
that question on one of the Boson tests )

All anyone can do is study the material, and if confused ask the question.
Lord knows I've sure had a lot of my own confusion cleared up by following
topics just like this one.

Wow - what a crappy question! Where did you find it?

It really confuses the issue to say "connection-oriented" with respect to
these specifications (except *maybe* ATM). For FDDI and Token Ring, it is
better to say that they are "deterministic" (as opposed to "opportunistic"
in the case of Ethernet).

Consider a Token Ring. When a station wants to transmit data, it must first
obtain the token. Once it does so, it can then transmit its data. The data
frame traverses the ring, visiting every station on the ring. The
destination station receives the data, then set the Address Recognized (AR)
and Frame Copied (FC) bits, and then sends the data back out on the ring.
The originating station will see it's own frame "coming back around" the
ring, this time with the AR and FC bits set, and will strip the frame off
the ring and release a new token.

This process looks kinda "connection-oriented" - almost like a transmission
(sending the data) and an acknowledgement (flipping the AR and FC bits), but
it is really not the same thing (though some might argue that I am splitting
hairs).

At any rate, I say the question you got is poorly written at best... though
sometimes the really bad questions force you down roads you otherwise would
not have travelled, and you become more knowledgable as you prove the author
an idiot... Who knows, I probably wrote that lousy question!

They _are_ all protocols.

ATM = Mostly Physical & Data Link  but shows up in Network (encapsulation,
signalling, transmission, etc)
Token-Ring = LAN Physical & Data Link layer protocol (wiring, tokens)
FDDI = Physical & Data LInk layer protocol (wiring, frame control & route
information)
Ethernet = LAN Physical & Data Link layer protocol (wiring, CSMA/CD)
Frame Relay = WAN Data LInk layer protocol (think DLCI = Data Link
Connection Identifier)

Of course, you could look at it this way...  If it has an RFC then chances
are its a protocol.

I'll try to do as you ask, help you select the answer, rather than 
give you the answer.

There is a subtle difference, which most exams don't observe, between 
connection orientation and statefulness.  In connection orientation, 
there is a distinct setup phase, after which the receiver has 
awareness of the sender. Resources are committed to that connection.

Stateful communications also describe a situation where the receiver 
has prior knowledge of the sender, but don't necessarily have an 
explicit setup function and don't necessarily commit resources.  In 
other words, all connection-oriented communications are stateful, but 
not all stateful protocols are connection-oriented.

Which of the protocols you list will work if the sender decides to 
send to a receiver that doesn't know about its existence?  Hint:  ATM 
was developed by the telephone industry, and Frame Relay was a 
specific ATM access protocol.  Can you simply pick up the telephone 
and start talking, or must you dial first?

You can just start sending on a LAN. There are a couple of subtle 
points that involve Token Ring and FDDI. Ethernet receivers 
definitely don't have prior awareness of the sender.  Some people 
might suggest, however, that a TR or FDDI receiver marking token bits 
is connection-oriented, because there is a receiver action.

No, I don't argue that.  What I will argue is that TR and FDDI 
_senders_ are stateful but not connection-oriented, as they need to 
be aware they have sent a frame in order to remove it from the ring. 
They also need to maintain state about whether they have or do not 
have the token.

Confusing things further, Logical Link Control type 2 (LLC2), which 
is most commonly seen over TR, definitely is connection-oriented. 
But "token ring" refers to the MAC and PHY protocols, not LLC.
