  1. ENGS 4 - Lecture 3 Technology of Cyberspace Winter 2004Thayer School of EngineeringDartmouth College Instructor: George Cybenko, x6-3843 gvc@dartmouth.edu Assistant: Sharon Cooper (“Shay”), x6-3546 ENGS4 2004 Lecture 3

  2. Basic Terminology - bits • bit – basic unit of information, having two possible values, 0 or 1. • example: if b is a bit, then either b=0 or b=1 • b1b2 are two bits, then the possible values are 00, 01, 10, 11. • b1b2b3 could be 000,001,010,011,100,101,110,111 • b1b2b3b4 could have how many values? • k bits could have 2k values • information transfer rates are measures in bits per second ENGS4 2004 Lecture 3

  3. Basic Terminology - bytes • byte – 8 bits, so 256 possible values. • 26 characters, lower and upper case = 52 • 10 digits, 52+10=62 • add punctuation, control characters, etc • 128 “traditional” characters (ASCII characters) • typically, one typed character is stored in 8 bits = 1 byte • storage and memory sizes are expressed in units of bytes ENGS4 2004 Lecture 3

  4. kilo, mega, tera, peta • kilo is Greek prefix for 1000 • 10 bits can have 210 values (= 1024) • a kilobit is 1024 bits, kilobyte is 1024 bytes • mega is Greek prefix for 1,000,000 • 220 bits = 1 megabit, 220 bytes = 1 megabyte • 230 bits = 1 terabit, 230 bytes = 1 terabyte ENGS4 2004 Lecture 3

  5. Some simple examples • Google home page has about 4000 bytes • 4000 bytes = 32,000 bits • Internet has to “move” 32,000 bits for a user to see the Google home page. • Internet has to move 3,200,000 bits for 100 users to see Google, IE, about 3 megabits • Dartmouth has 10,000 people on campus ENGS4 2004 Lecture 3

  6. Domain Name Server www.cnn.com www.cnn.com is really 207.25.71.20 Browser sends request for web page www.cnn.com into the network 207.25.71.20 User enters a URL or clicks on a link. eg www.cnn.com 207.25.71.20 “The web” web page at www.cnn.com Basic Web Browsing ENGS4 2004 Lecture 3

  7. User enters a URL or clicks on a link. eg www.cnn.com User enters a URL or clicks on a link. eg www.cnn.com User enters a URL or clicks on a link. eg www.cnn.com Network fabric: hubs, switches, routers Hub Router Hub Switch Router Printer Router ENGS4 2004 Lecture 3

  8. Network fabric: hubs, switches, routers • MAC address – hardware address assigned by manufacturer • IP address – 32 byte address used for all devices attached to the Internet (4 billion addresses) • hub – broadcasts all data to all ports • switch – directs data to ports according to the IP to hardware/MAC address correspondence • router – directs data to other routers for deliver based on IP addresses • aggregated data transfer requirements are huge ENGS4 2004 Lecture 3

  9. Bandwidth and latency • bandwidth – measured in bits per second • example: dialup modem has bandwidth of 56kbps = 56 kilobits per second = 56 x 1024 bits per second • wireless ethernet has nominal bandwidth of 11 megabits per second • wired ethernet has 10 or 100 megabits per second bandwidth • latency is the time required to move to move the first bit from one point to another ENGS4 2004 Lecture 3

  10. Bandwidth versus latency • Truck load of DVD’s driven from Hanover to Boston – 2 hour drive • 10,000 DVD’s in truck, each DVD stores 4.7 gigabytes of data = 4.7x 8 Gb = 37.6 gigabits = about 3.8 x 1014 bits • 7,200 seconds in 2 hours • bandwidth is 3.8 x 1014 bits/ 7.2 x 103 • 38 x 1013 / 7.2 x 103 = 5 x 1010 bps = 50 gbps • latency is 2 hours ENGS4 2004 Lecture 3

  11. Bandwidth versus latency • 400,000 bits per web page • 10,000 users • 4,000,000,000 bits = 4 gigabits • if the 10,000 users get their web pages in 1 second, then the network has to offer at least 4 gigabits per second bandwidth • observed latency is only a second or so • Quality of Service (QOS) – guaranteed latency and bandwidth ENGS4 2004 Lecture 3

  12. Cisco Systems Leading manufacturer of high performance routers and switches for the Internet Founded in late 1980’s Stanford spinoff, based on software developed there Huge growth in 1990’s Internet tech collapse in 2000 ENGS4 2004 Lecture 3

  13. Cisco Stock 1999- now ENGS4 2004 Lecture 3

  14. Engineering Challenges of Different Content Types Content Bandwidth Bursty QoS? Web, data Medium Yes No Voice Low Yes Yes TV, video High No Yes Monitoring Variable No No ENGS4 2004 Lecture 3

  15. Homework 1 – Due Jan 20 • Estimate the number of bytes in the ORC (2003-2004 edition, printed) • How much time would downloading it require on a 56 kbps modem line? • How much time would downloading it require on a 10 mbps ethernet? • How much time would downloading it require on a 100 mbps ethernet? • What is the bandwidth and latency of the NASA Mars Rover to earth channel? • Create a web page with the answers to these questions on the webpage. ENGS4 2004 Lecture 3
