What is TCP/IP??
What is TCP/IP(continued)
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) Requirement In the late 1960s, DARPA noticed the following trends: - Rapid proliferation of computers in military communications - Deployment of multivendor equipment in communication networks The U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) mandated a common set of protocols - Advantages are -- Procurement simplification -- Competition -- Interoperability -- Vendor productivity and efficiency As a result of DoD efforts, the ARPAnet was formed, which later evolved into the Internet
The Internet community Earlier Internet community consisted of - Universities -- Stanford, UCLA, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) -- UCSB -- University of Utah, University of Hawaii - Research organizations -- SRI International, Rand Corporation -- The Institute of Advanced Computation -- Bolt, Beranek, and Newman (BBN) Current Internet Community includes - All major universities - Research organizations - Corporations - Individual users

Proprietary Networks Early commercial computer network - Proprientary solutions -- Examples: IBM’s SNA, DEC’s DECnet - Locked users to vendor platform
Proprietary Networks (continued)
Commercial Uses of TCP/IP
Driving Force Behind TCP/IP Support Currently, the driving force behind TCP/IP support is - Growth in network-management tools - Promise of interoperability - Commercialization of the Internet Most widely implemented network-management protocol is - Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) -- Makes use of TCP/IP protocols

TCP/IP Applications A few popular application-level services are - Terminal emulation (TELNET) - File Transfer Protocol (FTP) - Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) - Network File System (NFS) - Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) - Domain Name System (DNS)

TCP/IP Implementation Concerns Vendors’ TCP/IP implementations should comply with the Official Protocol Standart Practical experience suggests that vendors are not 100 percent compliant May have interoperability problems between vendors’ TCP/IP implementations --Differences in interpretation of standards --Willful ignoring of standard recommendations This course and other courses in the TCP/IP curriculum will emphasize vendor- specific issues by using the following icon:
