Chapter 2: Application layer 2.1 Principles of network applications app architectures app requirements 2.2 Web and HTTP 2.4 Electronic Mail SMTP, POP3, IMAP 2.5 DNS 2.6 P2P file sharing 2.7 Socket programming with TCP 2.8 Socket programming with UDP 2.9 Building a Web server 5/21/2019 COSC 4213 - S.Datta
P2P services File sharing – Napster, Gnutella, Kazaa…. Communication – Instant messaging, VoIP (Skype) Computation seti@home DHTs – Chord, CAN, Pastry, Tapestry…. Applications built on emerging overlays Planetlab P2P file systems – Past, Farsite Wireless Ad-hoc Networking? 5/21/2019 COSC 4213 - S.Datta
Overlay graphs Edges are TCP connections or pointer to an IP address Edges maintained by periodic “are you alive” messages. Typically new edge established when a neighbor goes down New nodes BOOTSTRAP Structured vs Unstructured 5/21/2019 COSC 4213 - S.Datta
Structured overlays Edges arranged in a preplanned manner. DNS is an example of a structured overlay (but not P2P) Mostly still in the research stage – so has not made it to the textbook! 5/21/2019 COSC 4213 - S.Datta
Challenge: locating content Gnutella-type search – expensive, no guarantee, need many cached copies for technique to work well. Directed search – assign particular nodes to hold particular content (or pointers to it). - Problems: Distributed Handling join/leave 5/21/2019 COSC 4213 - S.Datta
Distributed hash tables Introduce a hash function to map objects to identifiers. E.g. h(“Britney Spears”) = 111 Distribute the range of the hash function among all nodes Each node must “know about” at least one copy of each object that hashes within its range (when one exists) 5/21/2019 COSC 4213 - S.Datta
Now… Switch to the tutorial by Prof. Ross. We will only cover a small portion on DHTs in this lecture 5/21/2019 COSC 4213 - S.Datta
Major problems User issues Security Viruses Community/Network issues Polluted files Flash crowds Freeloading 5/21/2019 COSC 4213 - S.Datta
Thought questions Is success due to massive number of servers or simply because content is free? Copyright infringement issues: direct vs indirect. 5/21/2019 COSC 4213 - S.Datta
