+\subsection{Classification}
+
+Serial communication protocols can be categorized by various criteria. From a network topology standpoint nodes can be connected as point to point (USART), star, bus (PCI), ring, mesh (IoT), fully connected, line, or tree . From a timing perspective a communication link can be either synchronos or asynchronous. The hardware interface can be serial or parallel. The communication can be On-Chip or Off-Chip. And finally, physically the electrical signal representing bits can be single ended, differential, voltage mode, or current mode.
+
+Of the well known Open System Interconnect (OSI) model, which is composed of seven layers (from top to bottom): application, presentation, session, transport, network (packet), data-link (frame), physical (bit stream), in this course we will only care about the bottom 2, namely data-link and physical.
