Course Focus
From the catalog: Addresses issues arising in organizing communications among
autonomous computers. Network models and conceptual layers; internetworking; characteristics of transmission media; switching techniques (packet switching, circuit switching, cell switching); medium access control (MAC) protocols and local area networks; error-control strategies and link-level protocols; routing algorithms for bridges and routers; congestion control mechanisms; transport protocols; application of concepts to practical wireless and wireline networks and standard protocol architectures.

What is a communication network?

From Wikipedia: A communication network is a collection of terminals, links, and nodes which connect to enable communication between users of the terminals. CMPE 150 Winter'12

17

What makes a communication network?

Links, nodes, and terminals. Whats the difference between nodes and terminals?

To network or not to network?

Why network? Resource sharing
Hardware. Software. Data!

Why not? SECURITY!!!

Robustness Load balancing

The Networks Around Us

This course focuses on the Internet, but there are many networks that are not part of the Internet. Examples of networks we use everyday?
Snail mail, i.e., postal delivery service.

The Networks Around Us

POTS: Plain Old Telephone Service

The Networks Around Us

PCI Express

The Networks Around Us

USB

So how do we describe the Internet?

The Internet is a series of tubes - Late Ted Stevens, US Senator

The Internet
The Internet versus an internet? Internet is an abbreviation of internetwork
Collection of interconnected networks, with no central administration or management A network has a single administrative authority

What the Internet is so popular?

Originally designed for file transfer, remote login, and e-mail.

It took almost 25 years for a killer application to emerge!

Whats the Internet: Nuts and Bolts View

Millions of connected server computing devices: hosts = end systems wireless laptop Running network cellular handheld apps Communication links Fiber, copper, access points radio, satellite wired links Transmission rate = bandwidth Routers: forward router packets (chunks of data) Introduction

Whats the Internet: Service View

Communication Infrastructure enables distributed applications: Web, VoIP, email, games, e-commerce, file sharing Communication services provided to apps: reliable data delivery from source to destination best effort (unreliable) data delivery
Introduction 1-31

human protocols: Whats the time? I have a question Introductions.

Whats a Protocol?

specific messages sent specific actions taken when messages received, or other events

network protocols: Machines rather than humans All communication activity in Internet governed by protocols

Protocols define format, order of messages sent and received among network entities, and actions taken on message transmission, receipt.

 Network edge: applications and hosts Access networks, physical media: wired, wireless communication links Network core:
interconnected

A Closer Look at Network Structure:

routers network of networks

Introduction

1-34

 End systems (hosts):

run application programs e.g. Web, email at edge of network

The Network Edge

peer-peer

Client/server model

Peer-peer model:

client host requests, receives service from always-on server client/server e.g. Web browser/server; email client/server minimal (or no) use of dedicated servers e.g. Skype, BitTorrent
