E-COMMERCE & M-COMMERCE INFRASTRUCTURE Most of commerce (and e-Commerce) is exchange of information, not goods The most efficient way to move information (cost per bit) to a large number of destinations is the Internet Allows point-to-point communication with arbitrary people and companies The Internet is getting bigger fast

BANDWIDTH REVIEW

Bit (b) = a unit of information, 0 or 1 10 bits can represent 1024 different messages 20 bits represent > 1 million 30 bits > 1 billion messages

The bandwidth of a communication channel = number of bits per second it transmits

All channels have limited bandwidth One byte (B) = 8 bits (an octet) Transmitting 1 MB at 56K bps takes 143 sec. 1 GB = gigabyte takes 40 hours at 7Mbps 19 minutes; at 1 Gbps takes 8 seconds)

Latency = delay from first bit transmitted to first received

PERN CORE NETWORK

Ø Using the Existing Optical Fiber System of PTCL/NTC and IP/ATM backbone of NTC Ø The network design of PERN consists of three nodal points (PoPs) at Islamabad, Lahore and Karachi Ø The interconnectivity between Nodal Points is 50 Mbps.Ø The educational institutions are connected to their respective nodal point by minimum 2Mbps link from the nearest exchange of NTC/PTCL using OFS, DXX , DRS, Radio or VSATØ The 155 Mbps Internet Bandwidth is distributed at three nodal points.

IP ADDRESSES Machines on the Internet need an addressing scheme (or couldn’t receive packets!)

Each machine has a 32-bit address assigned by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN).

In the U.S., American Registry for Internet Numbers (ARIN) In Europe, Réseaux IP Européens (RIPE) Addresses are written in dotted decimal notation:

128 . 2 . 218 . 2

10000000 00000010 11011010 00000010

Current max number of IP addresses = 232 = ~ 4,000,000,000

Page 37: MOBILE COMMUNICATION AND INTERNET TECHNOLOGIESE-COMMERCE & M-COMMERCE INFRASTRUCTURE Most of commerce (and e-Commerce) is exchange of information, not goods The most efficient way

IPV6 Increases # of IP addresses from 232 ≈ 4 billion to 2128 ≈ 1039 Designed for faster routing Supports Quality of Service (QoS), packet priorities Allows multiple streams to the same IP address, e.g. audio, video, HTML

DOMAIN NAMES IP addresses are inconvenient to remember 128.2.218.2 v. euro.ecom.cmu.edu (fully qualified) Domain names are alphanumeric aliases for IP addresses. They form a tree structure of FQDNs:
