5. Univ. ov TehranIntroduction to Computer Network5 Grading Homework and programming assignments, around %40 4-5 five written homework 3-4 programming Some simulation Late penalties! Course involve programming on C/C++ in Unix environment. Few small quizs around %10 Midterm exam around %25. Final exam around %25. Note: There is a %45 cut off on total exam points.

6. Univ. ov TehranIntroduction to Computer Network6 Prerequisition General knowledge in Computer engineering. C/C++ programming. Knowledge of UNIX (LINUX) system and programming. Fluency in English, specially reading.

7. Univ. ov TehranIntroduction to Computer Network7 How to survive this course Materials sound simple and easy, but they are not. Do not leave everything to the exam night!. Not copy the homework!, try them by yourself. You can read the course by yourself, but the class makes the life for you easier. For Communication Students; The language is different but it has logic

8. Univ. ov TehranIntroduction to Computer Network8 Some Ground Rules  Let’s make this educational and enjoyable.  It’s a big size class, I enjoy questions and ideas from the class.  Ask questions and raise points.  Identify yourself when you ask questions.  Listen to other people’s questions.  Be here.  Be here on time.

9. Univ. ov TehranIntroduction to Computer Network9 Special Warning  This is computer network course not queue theory!  There are not much Mathematics (Attention for EE students!)  There are programming in the course  Still we think the course is not easy. Needs a lot of work.  Indeed, It is in a higher level than just sending signals.

10. Univ. ov TehranIntroduction to Computer Network10 Why Study Computer Network? To graduate! To get a degree To be engineer. It is good in the society, for prestige, marriage, etc. Networking is everything! It does not matter what you know. It is matter who you know. Computer Network has highest job demand.

11. Univ. ov TehranIntroduction to Computer Network11 What you Learn? Insight: key concepts in networking Protocols Layering Resource allocation Performance evaluation Knowledge: how the Internet works Internet architecture IP protocol suite Applications (Web, e-mail, P2P, …) Skill: network programming Socket programming Designing and implementing protocols

12. Univ. ov TehranIntroduction to Computer Network12 Communication as a human being need. Base of community Collection of trees is not a community. Transferring data, knowledge, experience among people Base of civilization. Psycological need. Love, affection. Just talking. Releasing someone. Base of Culture.

13. Univ. ov TehranIntroduction to Computer Network13 Primary Communication means Language Conventions Body Language, Meta language. Universal. Problems: Limited in Time (delay) and space (domain). We are struggling all the history to overcome these limitation.

14. Univ. ov TehranIntroduction to Computer Network14 Communication elements Producer, Sender Speaker (in conversation) Consumer, Receiver Listener They both do have processing-limitation Message- Talk Transfer media, like air Substance Capacity (very limited) Delay (considerable)

15. Univ. ov TehranIntroduction to Computer Network15 Type of communication One to one Direct talk. One to many Talks, conferencing Many to Many Like mass media, new paper. Domain of communication Small, primary society Medium, more developed society. Large, more advance society.

16. Univ. ov TehranIntroduction to Computer Network16 First Step- Writing One of the most important human being invention. (Why?) Overcome the primary limitations. Time: By writing it down. Space: Distributing more copies, library, post, etc. Problems: Indirect Communication, Through paper. Slow in producing and consuming Need proficiency Encoding message

17. Univ. ov TehranIntroduction to Computer Network17 Next Step- Mailing Distribute messages as fast as and as far as possible. Overcome mostly space limitation, while widen the domain of communication. Media- human being network system. Indirect communication. Encoded message Slow.

18. Univ. ov TehranIntroduction to Computer Network18 New wave- Telegraph In 1837, Samuel B. Morse invented it. Text message is encoded by dot and dashed (binary, digital system). Message switching, human coding for efficiency, and hop by hop routing. Fast transmission, (Time limitation) Slow production (25-30 word/min) The daily Telegraph.

19. Univ. ov TehranIntroduction to Computer Network19 Telephone In 1876, While working on multiplexing telegraph, invented By A. Graham Bell. One to one, completely real time communication. No need to proficiency. Fast, (time limitation) Easy to use or produce data. Exponential growths, 1000 in 1877 to 50,000 in 1880

20. Univ. ov TehranIntroduction to Computer Network20 Broadcast media Printing, news papers, Easy to reproduce the same data. Easy to distribute message. Slow in producing and contribution. Radio Easy to distribute message. Fast in producing and contribution of message. Limited of type of message, only voice. TV All like radio, but with reach data.

21. Univ. ov TehranIntroduction to Computer Network21 Computer Network Fast in producing, processing, distributing and consuming messages. No limitation in time and space. Support different type of communication. Mass media, news group. One to many, mailing list. One to one, mail, chat, talk. Support of different type of message, data Only problem, need proficiency.

22. Univ. ov TehranIntroduction to Computer Network22 History of the Internet 70’s: started as a research project, 56 kbps, < 100 computers 80-83: ARPANET and MILNET split, 85-86: NSF builds NSFNET as backbone, links 6 Supercomputer centers, 1.5 Mbps, 10,000 computers 87-90: link regional networks, NSI (NASA), ESNet(DOE), DARTnet, TWBNet (DARPA), 100,000 computers 90-92: NSFNET moves to 45 Mbps, 16 mid-level networks 94: NSF backbone dismantled, multiple private backbones Today: backbones run at 10 Gbps, around160 millions computers in 160 countries
