3. Syllabus and official stuff Please see Web page for syllabus Check the announcements frequently! Course requirements Read the papers before class! Participate! Four assignments (really, 2 split in ½) Two “theory” Two “tools of the trade” (analysis & measurement) Two midterm-type exams (mid & end) And a project in a pear tree

4. Project Groups of 3 Regular meetings w/course staff over the semester Goal: Real, meaningful research I expect some of them to lead to pubs Challenge: Background vs. problem selection Get started early; run ideas past us! First meeting is SOON – 02/05

5. Paper Discussion Site Experiment this year: On-line slashdot-style paper discussion “Ask the Authors”: Top-ranked questions about contemporary papers will be forwarded to the authors Collaborative with 15-849 and a networks class at Georgia Tech See website for link to the site Create accounts soon.

6. Background A “standard” undergrad networking course of some sort. IP addressing, some simple routing (RIP, link-state), some Ethernet and CSMA/CD, understand bandwidth*delay products, latency, a bit of TCP http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~srini/15- 441/F06/http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~srini/15- 441/F06/

7. Questions about logistics? Or should we move on to networking? In a manner of speaking…

8. Muscle-Powered Communications Human messengers on foot or horseback “Command and Control” between capital and the field 14 AD: Roman relays—50 miles per day for regular mail, 100 miles per day for express mail 1280 AD: Kublai Khan—200-250 mi per day “Poste Haste”— “Fast Post” —riders signal by horns

9. “Let us turn now to the system of post-horses by which the Great Khan sends his dispatches. You must know that the city of Khan-balik is a centre from which many roads radiate to many provinces, one to each, and every road bears the name of the province to which it runs.... When one of the Great Khan's messengers sets out along any of these roads, he has only to go twenty-five miles and there he finds a posting station, which in their language is called yamb and in our language may be rendered as 'horse post'. … Here the messengers find no less than 400 horses, stationed here by the Great Khan's orders and always kept in readiness for his messengers … "By this means the Great Khan's messengers travel throughout his dominions and have lodgings and horses fully accoutred for every stage. … The whole organization is so stupendous and so costly that it baffles speech and writing.” -- Marco Polo (1290)

10. The Pony Express 1861 AD: The Pony Express 150-200 mi/day, 1966 mi from Missouri to California, 10-13 days Longest ride: 14 year old “Buffalo Bill” Cody, 384 mi Record time: 7 days 17 hours with President Lincoln’s Inaugural Address, March 4, 1861 Western Union’s line puts it out of business, October 1861

11. Chappe (1763-1805), a “defense contractor”; 1st message successfully sent in 1794 1799: Napoleon seizes power; sends “Paris is quiet, and the good citizens are content.” 1814: Extends from Paris to Belgium & Italy 1840: 4000 miles, 556 stations, 8 main lines, 11 sublines, each hop ~10 km Many “advanced” techniques: switching, framing, codes, redundant relays, message acks, priority messages, error notification, primitive encryption! Pics: Proc. Symp. on the Optical Telegraph, Stockholm, June ’94 Visual communications: The optical telegraph

16. Dots and Dashes Span The Globe Communications “arms” race in the Imperial Age No nation could trust its messages to a foreign power 1914: British cut the German overseas cables within hours of the start of WW I; Germany retaliates by cutting England’s Baltic cables and the overland lines to the Middle East through Turkey Strategic necessity: circumventing the tyranny of the telegraph lines owned by nation states

17. Wireless! James Clerk Maxwell (1831-1879) "... we have strong reason to conclude that light itself -- including radiant heat, and other radiations if any -- is an electromagnetic disturbance in the form of waves propagated through the electromagnetic field according to electromagnetic laws." Dynamical Theory of the Electromagnetic Field, 1864. Heinrich Hertz (1857 - 1894) Mid-1880s: Demonstrated experimentally the wave character of electrical transmission in space

18. Early Uses (cf. IM today!) Valentine by a Telegraph Clerk (male) to a Telegraph Clerk (female): "The tendrils of my soul are twined With thine, though many a mile apart, And thine in close-coiled circuits wind Around the needle of my heart. "Constant as Daniell, strong as Grove, Ebullient through its depths like Smee, My heart pours forth its tide of love, And all its circuits close in thee. "O tell me, when along the line From my full heart the message flows, What currents are induced in thine? One click from thee will end my woes." Through many an Ohm the Weber flew, And clicked this answer back to me, -- "I am thy Farad, staunch and true, Charged to a Volt with love for thee." Daniell, Grove and Smee are types of batteries used by telegraphers.

19. Wireless Telegraphy Guglielmo Marconi 1895: 21 year-old demonstrates communication at distances much greater than thought possible Offers invention to Italian government, but they refuse 1897: Demonstrates system on Salisbury Plain to British Royal Navy, who becomes an early customer 1901: First wireless transmission across the Atlantic 1907: Regular commercial service commenced

21. The Telegraph Learns to Talk Morse telegraph: no multiplexing Only one message sent/received at a time Second half of 19th century: many researchers work on improving capacity One idea: sending messages at different pitches (Graham Bell)

22. The Telephone Alexander Graham Bell 1876: Demonstrates the telephone at US Centenary Exhibition in Philadelphia Bell and Elisha Gray rush patents to USPTO, Bell first by a few hours Bell offers to sell patents to Western Union for $100,000, who refuse. Bell Telephone Company founded 9 July 1877. 1878: Western Union competes using rival system designed by Thomas Edison and Elisha Gray. Bell sues and wins.

S. government reach Kingsbury Agreement: AT&T becomes regulated monopoly while promising "universal" telephone service; Controls “toll” services in U.S. Long distance interconnection withheld as a competitive weapon 1950: Bell System controls 84% of the local telephone access market 1984: Divesture of Ma Bell (Judge Greene) 1996: Trivesiture of AT&T Bell (AT&T, Lucent, NCR) Much activitity, mergers, splits, acquisitions over past 10 years
