18 Outline  Administrative trivia’s  What is the Internet? m Nuts-and-bolds Description m Service Description m What is a Protocol?

19 What’s the Internet: “nuts and bolts” view r millions of connected computing devices: hosts, end-systems m pc’s workstations, servers m PDA’s phones, toasters running network apps r communication links m fiber, copper, radio, satellite==Bandwidth (bps) r routers: forward packets (chunks) of data thru network local ISP company network regional ISP router workstation server mobile

20 “Cool” internet appliances World’s smallest web server IP picture frame Web-enabled toaster+weather forecaster

21 What’s the Internet: “nuts and bolts” view r Route: series of communication links and routers r ISP: End system access the Internet thru ISP r Protocol: each end system, routers and other “pieces” of the Internet run protocol that controls communication. local ISP company network regional ISP router workstation server mobile

22 What’s the Internet: “nuts and bolts” view r protocols: control sending, receiving of msgs m e.g., TCP, IP, HTTP, FTP, PPP r Internet: “network of networks” m loosely hierarchical m public Internet versus private intranet r Internet standards m RFC: Request for comments m IETF: Internet Engineering Task Force local ISP company network regional ISP router workstation server mobile

23 What’s the Internet: a service view r communication infrastructure enables distributed applications: m WWW, , games, e- commerce, database., voting, file (MP3) sharing r communication services provided: m connectionless m connection-oriented r cyberspace [Gibson]: “a consensual hallucination experienced daily by billions of operators, in every nation,...."

24 What’s a protocol? human protocols: r “what’s the time?” r “I have a question” r introductions … specific msgs sent … specific actions taken when msgs received, or other events network protocols: r machines rather than humans r all communication activity in Internet governed by protocols

25 What’s a protocol? r all communication activity in Internet governed by protocols A network protocol defines the format and the order of messages exchanged between two or more communicating entities, as well as the actions taken on the transmission and/or receipt of a message or other event.

26 What’s a protocol? a human protocol and a computer network protocol: Q: Other human protocol? Hi Got the time? 2:00 TCP connection req. TCP connection reply. Get time
