millions of connected computing devices: hosts = end systems run network apps PC Mobile network server Global ISP wireless laptop cellular handheld Home network Regional ISP access points wired links Institutional network router What’s the Internet: “nuts and bolts” view • communication links • fiber, copper, radio, satellite • transmission rate (bandwidth) • routers: • forward packets (chunks of data) Introduction
protocolscontrol sending, receiving of msgs TCP, IP, HTTP, Ethernet Internet: “network of networks” loosely hierarchical public Internet versus private intranet Internet standards RFC: Request for comments IETF: Internet Engineering Task Force Mobile network Global ISP Home network Regional ISP Institutional network What’s the Internet: “nuts and bolts” view Introduction
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 What’s the Internet: a service view Introduction
Network protocols: All communication in Internet governed by protocols Generic protocol: specific messages sent specific actions taken when messages are received, or other events (e.g., timer expiration, exception detection) Protocol Representation: Finite State Machines Protocol Specification, via Standards protocols define format, order of messages sent and received among network entities, and actions taken on message transmission, receipt What’s a protocol? Introduction
Example sequence of a computer network protocol: TCP connection response Get http://www.ufl.edu <file> time What’s a protocol? host server TCP connection request Protocol Design and Analysis are extremely important in Internet study, development and research Introduction

Network edge: applications and hosts A closer look at network structure: • Access networks, physical media: wired, wireless communication links • Network core: • interconnected routers • network of networks Introduction
end systems (hosts): run application programs e.g. Web, email at “edge of network” peer-peer client/server The network edge: • client-server model • client host requests, receives service from always-on server • e.g. Web browser/server; email client/server • peer-to-peer model: • minimal (or no) use of dedicated servers • e.g. Skype, BitTorrenth Introduction
Goal: data transfer between end systems handshaking: setup (prepare for) data transfer ahead of time Hello, initial establishment set up “state” in two communicating hosts TCP - Transmission Control Protocol Internet’s reliable data transfer service TCP service[RFC 793] reliable, in-order byte-stream data transfer loss: acknowledgements and retransmissions flow control: sender won’t overwhelm receiver congestion control: senders “slow down sending rate” when network congested Network edge: reliable data transfer service Introduction
Goal: data transfer between end systems same as before! UDP - User Datagram Protocol [RFC 768]: connectionless unreliable data transfer no flow control no congestion control App’s using TCP: HTTP (Web), FTP (file transfer), Telnet (remote login), SMTP (email) App’s using UDP: streaming media, teleconferencing, DNS, Internet telephony Network edge: best effort (unreliable) data transfer service Introduction
Q: How to connect end systems to edge router? residential access nets institutional access networks (school, company) mobile access networks Keep in mind: bandwidth (bits per second) of access network? shared or dedicated? Access networks and physical media Introduction
Dialup via modem up to 56Kbps direct access to router (often less) Can’t surf and phone at same time: can’t be “always on” Residential access: point to point access • DSL: digital subscriber line • deployment: telephone company (typically) • up to 1 Mbps upstream (today typically < 256 kbps) • up to 8 Mbps downstream (today typically < 1 Mbps) • dedicated physical line to telephone central office Introduction
uses cable TV infrastructure, rather than telephone infrastructure HFC: hybrid fiber coax asymmetric: up to 30Mbps downstream, 2 Mbps upstream network of cable and fiber attaches homes to ISP router homes share access to router unlike DSL, which has dedicated access Residential access: cable modems Introduction

Internet Structure: loose hierarchy • hierarchy based on administrative regions/providers Introduction
Internet Hierarchy • hierarchy based on routing (more later) Introduction
roughly hierarchical at center: small # of well-connected large networks “tier-1” commercial ISPs (e.g., Verizon, Sprint, AT&T, Qwest, Level3), national & international coverage large content distributors (Google, Akamai, Microsoft) treat each other as equals (no charges) Large Content Distributor (e.g., Google) Large Content Distributor (e.g., Akamai) IXP IXP Internet structure: network of networks Tier 1 ISP Tier-1 ISPs & Content Distributors, interconnect (peer) privately Tier 1 ISP Tier 1 ISP … or at Internet Exchange Points IXPs Introduction 1-36

So, what does the Internet look like? Have you seen it lately?! 100 node transit-stub topology Introduction
Map of the multicast backbone [Mbone] (~3000 nodes) [2002] Introduction
Map of the Internet (~50,000 nodes) Introduction
It is not simple… • It is really complex • in scale • in interactions and dynamics • in failure modes (loss, crashes, loops, etc) • We need a very systematic approach to design protocols for such a complex network Introduction
Chapter 1: roadmap 1.1 What is the Internet? 1.2 Network edge • end systems, access networks, links 1.3 Network core • circuit switching, packet switching, network structure 1.4 Delay, loss and throughput in packet-switched networks 1.5 Protocol layers, service models 1.6 Networks under attack: security 1.7 History Introduction
Networks are complex! many “pieces”: hosts routers links of various media applications protocols hardware, software Question: Is there any hope of organizing structure of network? Or at least our discussion of networks? Protocol “Layers” Introduction
Why layering? Dealing with complex systems: • explicit structure allows identification, relationship of complex system’s pieces • layered reference model for discussion • modularization eases maintenance, updating of system • change of implementation of layer’s service transparent to rest of system • change in one layer doesn’t affect rest of system (is this true?!) • Can layering be considered harmful? Introduction

presentation: allow applications to interpret meaning of data, e.g., encryption, compression, machine-specific conventions session: synchronization, checkpointing, recovery of data exchange Internet stack “missing” these layers! these services, if needed, must be implemented in application needed? application presentation session transport network link physical ISO/OSI reference model Introduction
