  10. Expectations • This class IS about... • Principles and Concepts • General-Purpose Computer Networks • Internet Perspective • Network Software • Designing and Building a System • Hands-on experience on Switches and Routers ( CS Network Lab, 3-127) Introduction & Foundation

  11. Expectations • This class IS NOT about... • Survey of existing protocol standards • Specialized networks (e.g., CATV, telephone) • OSI Perspective • Network Hardware (we do survey) • Queuing Theory Introduction & Foundation

  12. Perspective • Network users: services that their applications need, e.g., guarantee that each message it sends will be delivered without error within a certain amount of time • Network designers: cost-effective design e.g., that network resources are efficiently utilized and fairly allocated to different users • Network providers: system that is easy to administer and manage e.g., that faults can be easily isolated and it is easy to account for usage Introduction & Foundation

  13. Requirements Introduction & Foundation

  14. … Connectivity: Building Blocks • Nodes: PC, special-purpose hardware… • hosts • switches • Data Links: coax cable, optical fiber… • point-to-point • multiple access Introduction & Foundation

  15. Indirect Connectivity: Switched Networks • Nodes forwards data received on one link out on another • A network can be defined recursively as... • two or more nodes connected by a link, or • two or more networks connected by two or more nodes Introduction & Foundation

  16. The Cloud • The Cloud • c • point-to-point • multiple-access link • Switched network • Any other network covered in the book Introduction & Foundation

  17. SANs, LANs, MANs, WANs • Local Area Network (LAN) – < 1 km • Metropolitan Area Network (MAN) – tens of km • Wide Area Network (WAN) – can be worldwide • System Area Network (SAN) – same room - SAN sometimes defined as storage area network Introduction & Foundation

  18. Switching Strategies • Circuit switching: dedicated circuit; dedicated circuit; send/receive a bit stream • Original telephone network • Packet switching: store-and-forward messages, send/receive messages (packets) • Computer networks, Internet Introduction & Foundation

  19. Packet-Switched Networks • Nodes in such a network send discrete blocks to each other. We call each block of data either a packet or a message. These blocks of data corresponds to application data such as • A file • A piece of email • An image Introduction & Foundation

  20. Addressing and Routing • Address: byte-string that identifies a node • usually unique • Routing: process of forwarding messages to the destination node based on its address • Types of addresses • unicast: node-specific • broadcast: all nodes on the network • multicast: some subset of nodes on the network Introduction & Foundation

  21. L1 R1 L2 R2 Switch 1 Switch 2 L3 R3 Multiplexing Cost-Effective Resource Sharing: • Must share (multiplex) network resources (nodes and links) among multiple users. Two Common Multiplexing Strategies: • Time-Division Multiplexing (TDM) • Frequency-Division Multiplexing (FDM) Introduction & Foundation

  22. Statistical Multiplexing • On-demand time-division rather than fixed • Schedule link on a per-packet basis • Packets from different sources interleaved on link • Buffer packets that are contending for the link • Buffer (queue) overflow is called congestion … Introduction & Foundation

  23. Host Host Application Host Channel Application Host Host Inter-Process Communication • Application programs running on the hosts connected to the network must be able to communicate in a meaningful way. • Turn host-to-host connectivity into process-to-process communication. • Fill gap between what applications expect and what the underlying technology provides. Introduction & Foundation

  24. IPC Abstractions Network supports common process-to-process channels. • Stream-Based • video: sequence of frames • 1/4 NTSC(standard TV image) = 352x240 pixels (resolution) • 24-bits color for each pixel • for each frame: (352 x 240 x 24)/8,= 247.5KB • frame rate: 30 fps • total  7500KBps = 60Mbps • video applications • on-demand video • video conferencing • Request/Reply • distributed file systems • digital libraries (web) • Client: process requests access (read/write) to a file • Server: process that supports access to the file • Examples: FTP (File Transfer Protocol) NFS (Network File System) Introduction & Foundation

  25. The vic Unix video application Chapter 1, Figure 7Introduction & Foundation

  26. What Goes Wrong in the Network? • Bit-level errors (electrical interference) • Packet-level errors (congestion) • Link and node failures • Messages are delayed • Messages are out-of-order • Third parties eavesdrop The key problem is to fill in the gap between what applications expect and what the underlying technology provides. Introduction & Foundation

  27. Performance Metrics • Bandwidth (throughput) • data transmitted per time unit • Link(physical) versus end-to-end(logical) • notation • KB = 210Bytes (or 103 =1,000 Bytes) • Mbps = 220bits per second (or 106 =1,000,000bits per seconds) • Latency (delay) • time to send message from point A to point B • one-way versus round-trip time (RTT) • components Latency = Propagation + Transmit + Queue Propagation = Distance / cSpeed of Light over that wire Transmit = Size / Bandwidth 3.0  108m/s (Vacuum) 2.3  108m/s (Cable) 2.0  108m/s (Fiber) Introduction & Foundation

  28. Bandwidth versus Latency • Relative importance • 1-byte message: latency dominates bandwidth 1ms  100ms (RTT) is important & 1Mbps  100Mbps (Bandwidth) is not • 25MB image: bandwidth dominates latency 1Mbps  100Mbps (Bandwidth) is important & 1ms  100ms(RTT) is not Introduction & Foundation

  29. Perceived Latency (Response Time) Versus RTT 10,000 5000 2000 1000 500 1-MB object, 1.5-Mbps link 200 1-MB object, 10-Mbps link Perceived latency (ms) 2-KB object, 1.5-Mbps link 100 2-KB object, 10-Mbps link 50 1-byte object, 1.5-Mbps link 1-byte object, 10-Mbps link 20 10 5 2 1 10 100 R TT (ms) Chapter 1, Figure 9 Introduction & Foundation

  30. Delay x Bandwidth Product • Amount of data “in flight” or “in the pipe” • Example: 100ms x 45Mbps = 560KB Introduction & Foundation

  31. Network Architecture Introduction & Foundation

  32. Layering • Use abstractions to hide complexity • Abstraction naturally lead to layering • Can have alternative abstractions at each layer e.g. at Process-to-process channels layer Application programs Request/reply Message stream channel channel Host-to-host connectivity Hardware Introduction & Foundation

  33. Protocols • Building blocks of a network architecture • Each protocol object has two different interfaces • service interface: defines operations on this protocol • peer-to-peer interface: defines messages exchanged with peer • Term “protocol” is overloaded • specification of peer-to-peer interface • module that implements this interface Introduction & Foundation

  34. Interfaces Host1 Host2 Service High-level High-level interface object object Protocol Protocol Peer-to-peer interface Introduction & Foundation

  35. Protocol Machinery • Protocol Graph • collection of protocols and their dependencies • most peer-to-peer communication is indirect • peer-to-peer is direct only at hardware level Host 2 Host 1 Digital Digital Video Video File File library library application application application application application application RRP MSP RRP MSP HHP HHP RRP - Request/Reply Protocol MSP - Message Stream Protocol HHP – Host-to-Host Protocol

  38. Standard Architectures • Open Systems Interconnect (OSI) Architecture • International Standards Organization (ISO) • International Telecommunications Union (ITU) • ISO, usually in conjunction with ITU, publishes a series of protocol specification based on the OSI architecture • a “Reference Model” for a protocol graph Introduction & Foundation
