1. Chapter 8: Internet Operation Business Data Communications, 5e

2. Network Classes Class A: Few networks, each with many hosts All addresses begin with binary 0 Class B: Medium networks, medium hosts All addresses begin with binary 10 Class C: Many networks, each with few hosts All addresses begin with binary 11

3. Internet Addressing 32-bit global internet address Includes network and host identifiers Dotted decimal notation –11000000 11100100 00010001 00111001 (binary) –192.228.17.57 (decimal)

4. Subnets & Subnet Masks Allows for subdivision of internets within an organization Each LAN can have a subnet number, allowing routing among networks Host portion is partitioned into subnet and host numbers

5. Subnet Mask Calculations

6. Internet Routing Protocols Responsible for receiving and forwarding packets between interconnected networks Must dynamically adapt to changing network conditions Two key concepts –Routing information –Routing algorithm

7. Autonomous Systems Key characteristics –Set of routers and networks managed by single organization –group of routers exchanging information via a common routing protocol –connected (in a graph-theoretic sense); that is, there is a path between any pair of nodes Interior Router Protocol (IRP) passes information between routers in an AP Exterior Router Protocol (ERP) passes information between routers in different Aps

8. Border Grouping Protocol (BGP) Preferred ERP for the Internet Three functional procedures –Neighbor acquisition –Neighbor reachability –Network reachability

9. Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) Widely used as IRP in TCP/IP networks Uses link state routing algorithm Routers maintain topology database of AS –Vertices Router Network –Transit –Stub –Edges Connecting router vertices Connecting router vertex to network vertex

10. Autonomous System Example

11. Directed Graph of Example

12. The “Need for Speed” and Quality of Service (QoS) Image-based services on the Internet (i.e., the Web) have led to increases in users and traffic volume –Resulting need for increased speed –Lack of increased speed reduced demand QoS provides for varying application needs in Internet transmission

13. Emergence of High-Speed LANs Until recently, internal LANs were used primarily for basic office services Two trends in the 1990s changed this –Increased power of personal computers –MIS recognition of LAN value for client/server and intranet computing Effect has been to increase volume of traffic over LANs Result exceeds capacity of standard 10mbps and 16mbps networks

14. Corporate WAN Neds Greater dispersal of employee base Changing application structures –Increased client/server and intranet –Wide deployment of GUIs –Dependence on Internet access More data must be transported off premises and into the wide area

15. Digital Electronics Major contributors to increased image and video traffic DVD (Digital Versatile Disk) –Increased storage means more information to transmit Digital cameras –Camcorders –Still Image Cameras

16. Categories of Traffic Elastic –Can adjust to changes in delay and throughput access –Examples: File transfer, e-mail, web access Inelastic –Does not adapt well, if at all, to changes –Examples: Real-time voice, audio and video

17. Requirements of Inelastic Traffic Throughput –Minimum value may be required Delay –Services like market quotes are delay-sensitive Delay variation –Real-time applications, like teleconferencing, have upper bounds on delay variation Packet loss –Applictions vary in the amount of packet loss allowable

18. Application Delay Sensitivity

19. Differentiated Services Provide QoS on the basis of user needs rather than data flows IP packets labeled for differing QoS treatment Service level agreement (SLA) established between the provider (internet domain) and the customer prior to the use of DS. Provides a built-in aggregation mechanism. Implemented in routers by queuing and forwarding packets based on the DS octet. Routers do not have to save state information on packet flows.

20. DS Service: Performance Parameters Service performance parameters Constraints on ingress/egress points Traffic profiles Disposition of excess traffic

21. DS Services Provided Traffic offered at service level A will be delivered with low latency. Traffic offered at service level B will be delivered with low loss. 90% of in-profile traffic delivered at service level C will experience no more than 50 ms latency. 95% of in-profile traffic delivered at service level D will be delivered. Traffic offered at service level E will be allotted twice the bandwidth of traffic delivered at service level F Traffic with drop precedence X has a higher probability of delivery than traffic with drop precedence Y.

22. DS Field Packets labeled for handling in 6-bit DS field in the IPv4 header, or the IPv6 header Value of field is “codepoint” 6-bits allows 64 codepoints in 3 pools –Form xxxxx0 - reserved for assignment as standards. –Form xxxx11 - reserved for experimental or local use. –Form xxxx01 - also reserved for experimental or local use, but may be allocated for future standards action as needed. Precedence subfield indicates urgency –Route selection, Network service, Queuing discipline RFC 1812 provides two categories of recommendations for queuing discipline –Queue Service –Congestion Control

24. DS Configuration & Operation Routers are boundary or interior nodes Forwarding treatment is per-hop behavior (PHB) Boundary nodes handle traffic conditioning –Classifier –Meter –Marker –Shaper –Dropper
