  1. Lec 1: Internet Overview ECE5650 Overview

  2. Intenet • Physical Connectivity • Topology • Access network and physical media • Layered Internet Protocol Stack • History Overview

  3. millions of connected computing devices: hosts = end systems running network apps communication links fiber, copper, radio, satellite transmission rate = bandwidth routers: forward packets (chunks of data) router workstation server mobile local ISP regional ISP company network What’s the Internet: “nuts and bolts” view Overview

  4. Distributed applications: Web, email, games, e-commerce, file sharing Network protocols: used by applications tocontrol sending, receiving of msgs: TCP, IP, HTTP, FTP, PPP Internet standards RFC: Request for comments IETF: Internet Engineering Task Force Communication services provided to apps: Connectionless unreliable connection-oriented reliable What’s the Internet: a service view Overview

  5. network edge: applications and hosts network core: routers network of networks access networks, physical media: communication links A closer look at network structure: Overview

  6. end systems (hosts): run application programs e.g. Web, email at “edge of network” Programs in end-systems use the serivce of the Internet to send msgs to each other client/server model client host requests, receives service from always-on server; e.g. web, email peer-peer model: minimal (or no) use of dedicated servers e.g. Gnutella, KaZaA, Skype, BitTorrent The network edge: Overview

  7. Physical connectivity of local area networks mesh of interconnected routers Logical connectivity: how is data transferred through net? The Network Core Overview

  8. roughly hierarchical at center: “tier-1” ISPs or Internet backbone networks (e.g., MCI, Sprint, AT&T, Cable and Wireless), national/international coverage, connect to large tier-2 ISPs and to all tier-1 ISPs and many customer networks. NAP Tier-1 providers also interconnect at public Network Access Points (NAPs). Tier-1 providers interconnect (peer) privately Internet structure: network of networks Tier 1 ISP Tier 1 ISP Tier 1 ISP Overview

  9. Commercial Internet ISP Connectivity • Roughly hierarchical • Divided into tiers • Tier-1 ISPs are also called backbone providers, e.g., AT&T, Sprint, UUNet, Level 3, Qwest, Cable & Wireless • An ISP runs (private) Points of Presence (PoP) where its customers and other ISPs connect to it • E.g., MCI has 4,500 PoP • called private peering • ISPs also connect at (public) Network Access Point (NAP) • called public peering Overview

  10. “Tier-2” ISPs: smaller (often regional) ISPs Connect to one or more tier-1 ISPs, possibly other tier-2 ISPs NAPs (Network Access Points) are complex high-speed switching networks often concentrated at a single building. Operated by 3rd party telecom or Internet backbone ISP-1. PoPs (Points of Presence) are private group of routers within each ISP and used to connect it (peer it) with other up/down/equal ISPs and is the new trend in connectivity. NAP Tier-2 ISPs also peer privately with each other, interconnect at public NAPs or private POPs. Tier-2 ISP pays tier-1 ISP for connectivity to rest of Internet, tier-2 ISP is customer of tier-1 provider Tier-2 ISP Tier-2 ISP Tier-2 ISP Tier-2 ISP Tier-2 ISP Internet structure: network of networks Tier 1 ISP Tier 1 ISP Tier 1 ISP Overview

  11. “Tier-3” ISPs and local ISPs last hop (“access”) network (closest to end systems) Tier 3 ISP local ISP local ISP local ISP local ISP local ISP local ISP local ISP local ISP NAP Local and tier- 3 ISPs are customers of higher tier ISPs connecting them to rest of Internet Tier-2 ISP Tier-2 ISP Tier-2 ISP Tier-2 ISP Tier-2 ISP Internet structure: network of networks Tier 1 ISP Tier 1 ISP Tier 1 ISP Overview

  18. 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 Overview

  19. Dialup via modem Uses existing telephony infrastructure; Home is connected to central office 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 central office telephone network Internet homedial-up modem ISPmodem (e.g., AOL) home PC Overview

  20. telephone network • ADSL: asymmetric digital subscriber line • up to 1 Mbps upstream (today typically < 256 kbps) • up to 8 Mbps downstream (today typically < 1 Mbps) • FDM: 50 kHz - 1 MHz for downstream 4 kHz - 50 kHz for upstream 0 kHz - 4 kHz for ordinary telephone Existing phone line:0-4KHz phone; 4-50KHz upstream data; 50KHz-1MHz downstream data Internet home phone DSLAM splitter DSL modem central office home PC Overview

  21. 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 so communication activity is visible to each other. deployment: available via cable TV companies Residential access: cable modems Overview

  30. Bit: propagates betweentransmitter/rcvr pairs physical link: what lies between transmitter & receiver guided media: signals propagate in solid media: copper, fiber, coax unguided media: signals propagate freely, e.g., radio Twisted Pair (TP) two insulated copper wires Category 3: traditional phone wires, 10 Mbps Ethernet Category 5: 100Mbps Ethernet Physical Media Introduction

  31. Coaxial cable: two concentric copper conductors bidirectional baseband: single channel on cable legacy Ethernet broadband: multiple channels on cable HFC Physical Media: coax, fiber Fiber optic cable: • glass fiber carrying light pulses, each pulse a bit • high-speed operation: • high-speed point-to-point transmission (e.g., 10’s-100’s Gps) • low error rate: repeaters spaced far apart ; immune to electromagnetic noise Introduction

  32. signal carried in electromagnetic spectrum no physical “wire” bidirectional propagation environment effects: reflection obstruction by objects interference Physical media: radio Radio link types: • terrestrial microwave • e.g. up to 45 Mbps channels • LAN (e.g., Wifi) • 11Mbps, 54 Mbps • wide-area (e.g., cellular) • 3G cellular: ~ 1 Mbps • satellite • Kbps to 45Mbps channel (or multiple smaller channels) • 270 msec end-end delay • geosynchronous versus low altitude Introduction

  33. Intenet • Physical Connectivity • Topology • Access network and physical media • Layered Internet Protocol Stack • History Overview

  34. human protocols: “what’s the time?” “I have a question” introductions network protocols: machines rather than humans all communication activity in Internet governed by protocols What’s a protocol? A protocol is a set of rules that govens how two or more communicating parties are to interact. It defines: - msg format - order of msgs sent & received - actions taken on msg transmission & receipt Overview

  35. Protocol “Layers” Networks are complex! • many “pieces”: • hosts • routers • links of various media • applications • protocols • hardware, software • Layered Protocol • Modular approach to network functionality • Examples: • Taking an airplane trip • Mailing service Overview

  36. application: supporting network applications FTP, SMTP, HTTP transport: process-process data transfer TCP, UDP network: host-host data transfer IP link: data transfer between neighboring network elements PPP, Ethernet physical: bits “on the wire” application transport network link physical Internet protocol stack Overview

  38. Characteristics of Layering • Layering positives: • Each layer relies on services from layer below and exports services to layer above • Interface defines interaction • Hides implementation - layers can change without disturbing other layers (black box) • Layering negatives: duplicate functionality and inter-dependency.
