6
Introducing transport routes –Connections appear to the end user as they would on a desktop computer. –Connection types vary greatly between BlackBerry® smartphones and operating systems. –Networks include various radio communication technologies and proxies.
7
Introducing transport routes This module describes the following transport routes: –WAP network gateways –The BlackBerry MDS Connection Service network gateway –The BlackBerry Internet Service Browsing network gateway –Direct TCP networks –Wi-Fi® connections WAPWireless Application Protocol MDSMobile Data System TCPTransmission Control Protocol
8
Introducing transport routes WAP network gateways –WAP network gateways are hosted by wireless service providers. –WAP network gateways must support WTP-level segmentation and reassembly. –Proprietary WAP extensions are not supported. –The BlackBerry® Browser accesses WAP network gateways using the WAP browser configuration. –To browse the Internet through a WAP network gateway, users must specify the WAP browser configuration in the Browser Configuration settings. –WAP1.2.1 and WAP 2.0 are supported. WTPWAP Transaction Protocol

Introducing transport routes The BlackBerry MDS Connection Service network gateway –Provides users with secure access to the organization's intranets and access to the Internet –Is a component of the BlackBerry® Enterprise Server that exists on the organization's network behind a firewall –Acts as a proxy for the BlackBerry Browser and makes requests on behalf of the BlackBerry Browser –Optimizes the content in the response to enhance network efficiency and improve display on smaller screens before it sends the content to the BlackBerry Browser –Communicates with the BlackBerry MDS Connection Service using HTTP/IPPP IPPPInternet Protocol Proxy Protocol

12
Introducing transport routes The BlackBerry Internet Service Browsing network gateway –Provides access to content optimization and compression features –Acts as a proxy for the BlackBerry Browser and makes requests on behalf of the BlackBerry Browser –Accessed using the Internet browser configuration –Developers must be part of the RIM ISV Alliance program and apply for access for each application.

14
Introducing transport routes Direct TCP connection –Internet protocol that provides a reliable, in-order byte stream delivery –Duplex protocol –Includes a flow-control mechanism –Supports a demultiplexing mechanism –The BlackBerry smartphone accesses the Internet through a wireless service provider connection.
15
Introducing transport routes Direct TCP connection example
16
Introducing transport routes Wi-Fi connection –A local area network that uses high frequency radio signals to transmit and receive data over small distances –Three possible Wi-Fi network configurations for BlackBerry smartphones: Wireless access point through the Internet and to an Internet content server Connection to the access point through the BlackBerry® Infrastructure Connection to the access point through a corporate firewall and through a BlackBerry Enterprise Server with BlackBerry MDS Services

18
Introducing least cost routing
19
Least cost routing Least cost routing is an effort to find the lowest cost path between two network nodes with the least number of links between nodes.
20
Least cost routing –In a simple network link, costs can be stored on each node. –Does not resolve the following issues: Node and link failures Changes in the numbers of links and nodes in the network No allowance for temporary changes in link costs
21
Least cost routing –A variety of routing protocols are used in the nodes of most networks to overcome the issues –Routing protocols must be dynamic to overcome failures and changes in link costs –Routing protocols must be distributed for efficiency
22
Least cost routing Serial bypass –Another form of least cost routing –BlackBerry Router is in the DMZ. –Using serial bypass eliminates an organization’s cost of using the BlackBerry Infrastructure. –Multiple BlackBerry smartphones can connect through the same BlackBerry® Device Manager. –All normal functions are available, except wireless enterprise activation.

Summary –BlackBerry smartphones use the following connections: WAP1.2.1 and WAP2.0 network gateways are hosted by wireless service providers. WAP network gateways must support WTP-level segmentation and reassembly. The BlackBerry MDS Connection Service is designed to provide users with secure access to their organization's intranets and access to the Internet. The BlackBerry MDS Connection Service is a component of the BlackBerry Enterprise Server that exists on the organization's network behind a firewall. Wireless service providers can use the BlackBerry Internet Service Browsing network gateway to offe BlackBerry smartphone users access to the content optimization and compression features provided b the BlackBerry Infrastructure without using the BlackBerry Enterprise Server. In a direct TCP network, the BlackBerry smartphone accesses the Internet through a wireless server provider connection. In certain situations, when you configure direct Internet connections you must specify an Access Point Name Gateway. Wi-Fi is a local area network that uses high frequency radio signals to transmit and receive data over small distances. It uses Ethernet protocol. Wi-Fi access points provide multiple network connectio options. –Least cost routing is an effort to find the lowest cost path between two network nodes with the least number of links between nodes. Serial bypass is another form of least cost routing. It eliminates the organization’s cost of using the BlackBerry Infrastructure.
