• Chapter 5: ATM

Things to know (or look up)

• hubs, switches, routers
• shared medium vs. point-to-point
• latency and throughput computations
• how the properties of the physical layer affect higher layers
• framing
• "no magic"
• routing
• connection-oriented vs. connectionless

More things to know (or look up)

• signaling
• distributed computations
• why we need protocols (agreements, standards)
• collision detection, binary exponential backoff
• main lessons in the homeworks, projects, quizzes, book, lectures
• understanding from project 1, project 2 description
