Introduction1-10 What’s the Internet: a service view  communication infrastructure enables distributed applications:  Web, , games, e- commerce, file sharing  communication services provided to apps:  Connectionless unreliable  connection-oriented reliable  Internet provides services with no guarantee  No guaranteed transmission delay  No guaranteed bandwidth

Introduction1-11 What’s a protocol? human protocols:  Understand each others & follow each others  “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

Introduction1-12 What’s a protocol? a human protocol and a computer network protocol: Q: Other human protocols? Hi Got the time? 2:00 TCP connection request TCP connection response Get time

Introduction1-13 A closer look at network structure:  network edge: applications and hosts  network core:  routers  network of networks  access networks, physical media: communication links

Introduction1-14 What is the Internet?  Network edge  Network core  Delay & loss in packet-switched networks  Internet structure and ISPs  Protocol layers, service models  History

Introduction1-15 The network edge:  end systems (hosts):  run application programs  e.g. Web,  at “edge of network”  client/server model  client host requests, receives service from always-on server  e.g. Web browser/server; client/server  peer-peer model:  minimal (or no) use of dedicated servers  e.g. Gnutella, KaZaA, Skype

Introduction1-16 Network edge: connection-oriented service Goal: data transfer between end systems  handshaking: setup (prepare for) data transfer ahead of time  Hello, hello back human protocol  set up “state” in two communicating hosts  TCP - Transmission Control Protocol  Internet’s connection- oriented service TCP service [RFC 793]  reliable, in-order byte- stream data transfer  loss: acknowledgements and retransmissions  flow control:  sender won’t overwhelm receiver  congestion control:  senders “slow down sending rate” when network congested

Introduction1-17 Network edge: connectionless service Goal: data transfer between end systems  same as before!  UDP - User Datagram Protocol [RFC 768]:  connectionless  unreliable data transfer  no flow control  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

Introduction1-19 The Network Core  mesh of interconnected routers  the fundamental question: how is data transferred through net?  circuit switching: dedicated circuit per call: telephone net  packet-switching: data sent thru net in discrete “chunks”

Introduction1-20 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

Introduction1-21 Circuit Switching: FDM and TDM FDM: Frequency division multiplexing frequency time TDM: Time division multiplexing frequency time 4 users Example:

Introduction1-22 Packet Switching: Statistical Multiplexing Sequence of A & B packets does not have fixed pattern, shared on demand  statistical multiplexing. A B C 10 Mb/s Ethernet 1.5 Mb/s D E statistical multiplexing queue of packets waiting for output link

Introduction1-23 Packet switching versus circuit switching.  1 Mb/s link  each user:  100 kb/s when “active”  active 10% of time  circuit-switching:  10 users  packet switching:  with 35 users, probability > 10 active less than.0004 Packet switching allows more users to use network! N users 1 Mbps link

Introduction1-24 Packet-switching: store-and-forward.  Takes L/R seconds to transmit (push out) packet of L bits on to link or R bps  Entire packet must arrive at router before it can be transmitted on next link: store and forward  delay = 3L/R (assuming zero propagation delay) R R R L

Introduction1-25 What is the Internet?  Network edge  End systems, client/server, connection- oriented/connectionless services  Network core  Delay & loss in packet-switched networks  Internet structure and ISPs  Protocol layers, service models  History

Introduction1-26 How do loss and delay occur? packets queue in router buffers  packet arrival rate to link exceeds output link capacity  packets queue, wait for turn A B packet being transmitted (delay) packets queueing (delay) free (available) buffers: arriving packets dropped (loss) if no free buffers

Introduction1-27 Four sources of packet delay  1. nodal processing:  check bit errors  determine output link A B propagation transmission nodal processing queueing  2. queueing  time waiting at output link for transmission  depends on congestion level of router

Introduction1-28 Delay in packet-switched networks 3. Transmission delay:  R=link bandwidth (bps)  L=packet length (bits)  time to send bits into link = L/R 4. Propagation delay:  d = length of physical link  s = propagation speed in medium (~2x10 8 m/sec)  propagation delay = d/s A B propagation transmission nodal processing queueing Note: s and R are very different quantities!

Introduction1-29 “Real” Internet delays and routes  What do “real” Internet delay & loss look like?  Traceroute program: provides delay measurement from source to router along end-end Internet path towards destination. For all i:  sends three packets that will reach router i on path towards destination  router i will return packets to sender  sender times interval between transmission and reply. 3 probes

Introduction1-41 ticket (purchase) baggage (check) gates (load) runway (takeoff) airplane routing departure airport arrival airport intermediate air-traffic control centers airplane routing ticket (complain) baggage (claim gates (unload) runway (land) airplane routing ticket baggage gate takeoff/landing airplane routing Layering of airline functionality Layers: each layer implements a service  via its own internal-layer actions  relying on services provided by layer below

Introduction1-42 Why layering? Dealing with complex systems:  explicit structure allows identification, relationship of complex system’s pieces  layered reference model for discussion  modularization eases maintenance, updating of system  change of implementation of layer’s service transparent to rest of system  e.g., change in gate procedure doesn’t affect rest of system
