5. What sorts of networks do we use? –Wired networks (in the labs) –Wireless (WIFI) networks (right now?) –Wireless cell phone networks –Wireless bluetooth (“personal area networks”) 5

6. Configurations Bus network –Devices connected to a common communications channel –Devices are peers –Ex. Typical wired network Star network –Devices connected to a central machine –Devices communicate only via central machine –Ex. Typical wifi network (access point) 6

7. Interconnecting networks Repeater –Propagate signals between networks Bridge –Propagate some signals between networks Switch –Bridge with multiple connections Router –Interface networks with different characteristics (e.g. ethernet bus to WiFi access point) 7

8. Routing messages Each device has an address on the network (IP address) Messages are routed based on destination IP address. –IPv4: 32 bit address (4.3 X 10 9 ) styx.cse.buffalo.edu (128.205.36.7) 10000000.11001101.00100100.00000111 –IPv6: 128 bit address (3.4 X 10 38 ) 8

9. Domain Name System (DNS) Translate from mnemonic form styx.cse.buffalo.edu to IP address 128.205.36.7 (dotted decimal notation) Determine DNS server –Windows run ‘ ifconfig /all ’ at cmd prompt –Mac Network preferences window Look at /etc/resolv.conf file 9

10. Reverse lookup: whois Try: whois 128.205.36.7 whois 142.103.7.7 10
