FIGURE 8.14TCP=IP suite <strong>and</strong> its relationship to the data link layer.Each <strong>of</strong> these protocols resides within one layer <strong>and</strong> communicates with theprotocols in the adjacent layers. The overriding Internet protocol requirementis simplicity: sending complex functions to the edge <strong>of</strong> the network.The data link layer maintains a reliable communication link betweenadjacent nodes. An example <strong>of</strong> this layer is the local area network (LAN): acommunication network system that enables computer users to share computerequipment, application s<strong>of</strong>tware, data, facsimile, voice, <strong>and</strong> video transmission.Internet users have a wide range <strong>of</strong> new application requirements beyondthe simple data transfer; these include the smart <strong>and</strong> quick interface <strong>of</strong> text,voice, <strong>and</strong> video as well as real-time videoconferencing <strong>and</strong> multimediaapplications, which the current infrastructure may not be adequately designedto support. To meet all these dem<strong>and</strong>s, it is imperative to have a family <strong>of</strong>robust, secure, <strong>and</strong> serviceable broadb<strong>and</strong> networks that will be capable <strong>of</strong>providing a host <strong>of</strong> voice-, data-, <strong>and</strong> video-enhanced features <strong>and</strong> servicesbeyond mere transport.Copyright © 2002 by Marcel Dekker, Inc.
