Figure 8.11 An ATM switch with six computers attached, and the star topology that results.
Figure 8.12 Details of a connection between an ATM switch and a computer. Each connection consists of a pair of optical fibers. One fiber carries data to the switch, and the other carries data to the computer.
Figure 13.1 A packet switch with two types of I/O connectors: one type is used to connect to other packet switches, and the other is used to connect to computers.
Figure 13.2 A small WAN formed by interconnecting packet switches. Connections between packet switches usually operate at a higher speed than connections to individual computers.
Figure 13.3 Example of hierarchical addresses in a WAN. Each address consists of two parts: the first part identifies a packet switch, and the second part identifies a computer connected to the switch.
Figure 13.4 (a) A network consisting of three packet switches, and (b) the next-hop forwarding information found in switch 2. Each switch has different next-hop information.
Figure 13.5 An abbreviated version of the routing table in Figure 13.4b made possible by hierarchical addressing. When forwarding to a local computer, the switch uses the second part of the address to select a specific computer.
Figure 13.6 The network from Figure 13.2 and the corresponding graph. Each node in the graph corresponds to a packet switch, and each edge between two nodes represents a connection between the corresponding packet switches.
Figure 13.7 The routing table for each node in the graph of Figure 13.6. The next-hop field in an entry contains a pair (u,v) to denote the edge in the graph from node u to node v.
Figure 13.8 Revised version of the routing tables in Figure 13.7. An asterisk in the column labeled destination denotes a default route.
Figure 13.9 A graph with weights assigned to edges. The shortest path between nodes 4 and 5 is shown darkened. The distance along the path is 19, the sum of the weights on the edges.
Figure 14.1 Fields in the 5-octet header found in an ATM cell. Each line in the diagram represents one octet.
Figure 14.2 Illustration of an ATM VC between two computers.
Figure 14.3 An illustration of three ATM switches and the forwarding table in each switch that allows a single VC to span the network. Only those table entries that correspond to the VC are shown.
Figure 15.1 Summary of major characteristics for example technologies. The technologies suitable for WANs are used in public networks.
