Introduction1-4 Chapter 1: Introduction Overview: what’s the Internet what’s a protocol? network edge network core Internet/ISP structure
Introduction1-5 Chapter 1: roadmap 1.1 What is the Internet? 1.2 Network edge 1.3 Network core 1.4 Internet structure and ISPs 1.5 Protocol layers, service models 1.8 History
Introduction1-6 What’s the Internet: millions of connected computing devices: hosts = end systems running network apps communication links m fiber, copper, radio, satellite m transmission rate = bandwidth routers: forward packets (chunks of data) local ISP company network regional ISP router workstation server mobile
Introduction1-7 What’s the Internet: protocols control sending, receiving of msgs m e.g., TCP, IP, HTTP, FTP, PPP Internet: “network of networks” m loosely hierarchical m public Internet versus private intranet Internet standards m RFC: Request for comments m IETF: Internet Engineering Task Force local ISP company network regional ISP router workstation server mobile
Introduction1-8 What’s the Internet: a service view communication infrastructure enables distributed applications: m Web, , games, e- commerce, file sharing communication services provided to apps: m Connectionless unreliable m connection-oriented reliable
Introduction1-9 What’s a protocol? human protocols: “what’s the time?” “I have a question” introductions … specific msgs sent … specific actions taken when msgs received, or other events network protocols: machines rather than humans all communication activity in Internet governed by protocols protocols define format, order of msgs sent and received among network entities, and actions taken on msg transmission, receipt
Introduction1-10 What’s a protocol? a human protocol and a computer network protocol: Q: Other human protocols? Hi Got the time? 2:00 TCP connection req TCP connection response Get time
Introduction1-11 Chapter 1: roadmap 1.1 What is the Internet? 1.2 Network edge 1.3 Network core 1.4 Internet structure and ISPs
Introduction1-12 Network structure: network edge: applications and hosts network core: m routers m network of networks access networks, physical media: communication links
Introduction1-13 The network edge: end systems (hosts): m run application programs m e.g. Web, m at “edge of network” client/server model m client host requests, receives service from always-on server m e.g. Web browser/server; client/server peer-peer model: m minimal (or no) use of dedicated servers m e.g. Gnutella, KaZaA
Introduction1-14 Connection-oriented service Goal: data transfer between end systems handshaking: setup (prepare for) data transfer ahead of time m Hello, hello back human protocol m set up “state” in two communicating hosts TCP - Transmission Control Protocol m Internet’s connection- oriented service TCP service [RFC 793] reliable, in-order byte- stream data transfer m loss: acknowledgements and retransmissions flow control: m sender won’t overwhelm receiver congestion control: m senders “slow down sending rate” when network congested
Introduction1-15 Connectionless service Goal: data transfer between end systems m same as before! UDP - User Datagram Protocol [RFC 768]: m connectionless m unreliable data transfer m no flow control m no congestion control App’s using TCP: HTTP (Web), FTP (file transfer), Telnet (remote login), SMTP ( ) App’s using UDP: streaming media, teleconferencing, DNS, Internet telephony
Introduction1-16 Chapter 1: roadmap 1.1 What is the Internet? 1.2 Network edge 1.3 Network core 1.4 Network access and physical media 1.5 Internet structure and ISPs 1.6 Delay & loss in packet-switched networks 1.7 Protocol layers, service models 1.8 History
Introduction1-17 The Network Core mesh of interconnected routers the fundamental question: how is data transferred through net? m circuit switching: dedicated circuit per call: telephone net m packet-switching: data sent thru net in discrete “chunks”
Introduction1-18 Network Core: Circuit Switching End-end resources reserved for “call” link bandwidth, switch capacity dedicated resources: no sharing circuit-like (guaranteed) performance call setup required
Introduction1-19 Network Core: Circuit Switching network resources (e.g., bandwidth) divided into “pieces” pieces allocated to calls resource piece idle if not used by owning call (no sharing) dividing link bandwidth into “pieces” m frequency division m time division
Introduction1-20 Circuit Switching: FDM and TDM FDM frequency time TDM frequency time 4 users Example:
Introduction1-21 Network Taxonomy Telecommunication networks Circuit-switched networks FDM TDM Packet-switched networks Networks with VCs Datagram Networks Datagram network is not either connection-oriented or connectionless. Internet provides both connection-oriented (TCP) and connectionless services (UDP) to apps.
Introduction1-22 Internet structure: network of networks roughly hierarchical at center: “tier-1” ISPs (e.g., UUNet, BBN/Genuity, Sprint, AT&T), national/international coverage m treat each other as equals Tier 1 ISP Tier-1 providers interconnect (peer) privately NAP Tier-1 providers also interconnect at public network access points (NAPs)
Introduction1-23 Tier-1 ISP: e.g., Sprint Sprint US backbone network
Introduction1-24 Internet structure: network of networks “Tier-2” ISPs: smaller (often regional) ISPs m Connect to one or more tier-1 ISPs, possibly other tier-2 ISPs Tier 1 ISP NAP Tier-2 ISP Tier-2 ISP pays tier-1 ISP for connectivity to rest of Internet tier-2 ISP is customer of tier-1 provider Tier-2 ISPs also peer privately with each other, interconnect at NAP
Introduction1-25 Internet structure: network of networks “Tier-3” ISPs and local ISPs m last hop (“access”) network (closest to end systems) Tier 1 ISP NAP Tier-2 ISP local ISP local ISP local ISP local ISP local ISP Tier 3 ISP local ISP local ISP local ISP Local and tier- 3 ISPs are customers of higher tier ISPs connecting them to rest of Internet
