Introduction to Networking

Uses of Computer Networks

• Business Applications

• E-commerce

• Entertainment

• E-flea

Application Types

Some forms of e-commerce.

Client-Server Communication

A network with two clients and one server.

Client-Server Communication

The client-server model involves requests and replies.

Peer-to-Peer Communication

In peer-to-peer system there are no fixed clients and servers.

Mobile and Wireless Applications

Combinations of wireless networks and mobile computing.

Wireless Applications

• Portable offices

• Trucks, taxis, police need to communicate

• Help with orientation in the area

• Car rental return

• M-commerce

• Status of the machines

Network Types

• Local Area Networks

• Metropolitan Area Networks

• Wide Area Networks

• Wireless Networks

• Home Networks

• Internetworks

Network Types

Classification of interconnected processors by scale.

Local Area Networks

Two LANs(a) Bus-broadcast(b) Ring

Metropoliten Area Networks

Two MANs(a) Star-switched(b) Ring

Switch

Metropolitan Area Networks

A metropolitan area network based on cable TV.

Wide Area Networks

Relation between hosts on LANs and the subnet.

Circuit switch

Wide Area Networks

A stream of packets from sender to receiver.

Wireless Networks

Categories of wireless networks:

• System interconnection

• Wireless LANs

• Wireless WANs

Wireless Networks

(a) Bluetooth configuration(b) Wireless LAN

Wireless Networks

(a) Individual mobile computers(b) A flying LAN

Home Network Categories

• Computers (desktop PC, PDA, shared peripherals)• Entertainment (TV, DVD, VCR, camera, stereo, MP3)• Telecomm (telephone, cell phone, intercom, fax)• Appliances (microwave, fridge, clock, furnace, airco)• Telemetry (utility meter, burglar alarm, babycam).

Network Hardware

• Transmission medium

• Transceivers: transmitters and receivers on the point-to-point connections

• Multiplexers, demultiplexers

• Packet and circuit switches

• Bridges

• Routers

• Servers, gateways, management units

Transmission Medium

• Air: different frequency bands

• Wires: twisted pairs

• Coaxial cables

• Optical fibers

Transceivers

• Transmitters perform modulation and coding to provide efficient and reliable communication.

• Receivers perform the reverse operations.

• Depending on the medium transceivers are electronic devices, antenas, or lasers and photodiodes.

Multiplexers and Demultiplexers

• Multiplexers receive multiple lower bit-rate streams of data and according to some rule transmit the higher bit-rate stream of data.

• Demultiplexers do the opposite.

Circuit and Packet Switches

• It does not make sense to connect every user with every other user in the network.

• Circuit and packet switches connect multiple inputs to multiple outputs.

• In circuit switches, the configuration pattern changes on a slow time scale.

• In packet switches, the configuration changes on a packet-per-packet basis.

Servers, Gateways, etc.

• Servers store various kinds of information for users, for example DNS databases, e-mails, web pages and provide it to the users.

• Gateways convert data format, and negotiate QoS with the network.

Network Software

• Protocol Hierarchies• Design Issues for the Layers• Connection-Oriented and Connectionless Services• Service Primitives• The Relationship of Services to Protocols

Network SoftwareProtocol Hierarchies

Layers, protocols, and interfaces.

Protocol Hierarchies (2)

The philosopher-translator-secretary architecture.

Protocol Hierarchies (3)

Example information flow supporting virtual communication in layer 5.

Design Issues for the Layers

• Addressing• Error Control• Flow Control• Multiplexing• Routing

Connection-Oriented and Connectionless Services

Six different types of service.

Service Primitives

Five service primitives for implementing a simple connection-oriented service.

Service Primitives (2)

Packets sent in a simple client-server interaction on a connection-oriented network.

Services to Protocols Relationship

The relationship between a service and a protocol.

Reference Models with Layers

• A layer should have well defined function

• Function of a layer should be internatinationally standardized

• The information flow between interfaces should be minimized

Reference Models

• The OSI reference model

• The TCP/IP reference model

• Hybrid reference model

Reference Models

The OSI reference model.

Reference Models (2)

Comparing OSI and TCP/IP Models

Concepts central to the OSI model• Services• Interfaces• Protocols

Concept of TCP/IP

• Implementation of the required functionality with three layers

A Critique of the OSI Model and Protocols

Why OSI did not take over the world

• Bad timing

• Bad technology

• Bad implementations

• Bad politics

Bad Timing

The apocalypse of the two elephants.

A Critique of the TCP/IP Reference Model

Problems:• Service, interface, and protocol not distinguished• Not a general model• Host-to-network “layer” not really a layer• No mention of physical and data link layers• Minor protocols deeply entrenched, hard to replace
