INTRODUCTIONSlide3

A switch is a multi-input, multi-output device which transfers packets from an input to one or more outputs.Switch is basically a star topology having features likeLarge networks can be built by interconnecting a number of switchesAdding new host to network by connecting it to a switch does not necessarily reduce the performance of the network for other hosts already connected.
SWITCHES:Slide4
4
Switch makes use of header of the packet for an identifier to trace the destination.Basically three approaches used areDatagram or connectionless (data transfer only)Virtual circuit or connection-oriented (connection setup and data transfer)Source routing
APPROACH:Slide5
5
A hub joins multiple computers (or other network devices) together to form a single network segment. On this network segment, all computers can communicate directly with each other.Hubs do not read any of the data passing through them and are not aware of their source or destination. It just broadcasts the packets out to all devices on the network - including the one that originally sent the packet.
HUBS:Slide6
6
Three different types of hubs existPassive : do not amplify the electrical signal of incoming packets before broadcasting them out to the network.Active : amplify the electrical signal of incoming packets before broadcasting them out to the network.Intelligent : add extra features to an active hub that are of particular importance to businesses.

LAB EXPERIMENT:

Explain why adding a switch makes the network perform better in terms of throughput and delayANS: Unlike hubs, Switches Buffer the frames reaching it. So Switches share the bandwidth equally among all the nodes and maintains address tables to forward frames. Hence it leads to better performance in terms of throughput and delay. POSSIBLE QUESTIONS:Slide19
19
We analyzed the collision counts of the hubs. Can you analyze the collision count of the switch?ANS: As hubs don’t look at the destination address of the frames reaching it and just forwards them to all other nodes, there is collision count for Hubs. But in case of Switches, it look at the destination address and buffer the frames and send them according to the address
table. So Switches
have no
Collisions, so no Collision Count.

CONCLUSION:From above Graph for DELAY, its clear that delay for Only Hub Scenario
(
Blue)
is
pretty high and for Hub and Switch
Scenario (Red) it
is significantly low compared with Only Hub Scenario. But the Delay for Hub and Switch Scenario and Only Switches
Scenario (Green)
is not that significantly
different, as in the earlier case.
More over as Switches cost more than
hubs,
Its better to use a Hub and Switch combination in the
network than only Switch or only Hub combination.Slide26
