  1. Computer Networks 15-744 Spring 2007 January 17, 2006 www.cs.cmu.edu/~dga/15-744/S07

  2. Logistics • Target class size: 24 • # people registered: 29 • # people on waitlist: 29 • So: • Please sign roll sheet today & Monday! • But: If you’re not a Ph.D. student, odds are not good.

  3. Syllabus and official stuff • Please see Web page for syllabus • Check the announcements frequently! • Course requirements • Read the papers before class! Participate! • Four assignments (really, 2 split in ½) • Two “theory” • Two “tools of the trade” (analysis & measurement) • Two midterm-type exams (mid & end) • And a project in a pear tree

  4. Project • Groups of 3 • Regular meetings w/course staff over the semester • Goal: Real, meaningful research • I expect some of them to lead to pubs • Challenge: Background vs. problem selection • Get started early; run ideas past us! • First meeting is SOON – 02/05

  5. Paper Discussion Site • Experiment this year: On-line slashdot-style paper discussion • “Ask the Authors”: Top-ranked questions about contemporary papers will be forwarded to the authors • Collaborative with 15-849 and a networks class at Georgia Tech • See website for link to the site • Create accounts soon.

  6. Background • A “standard” undergrad networking course of some sort. • IP addressing, some simple routing (RIP, link-state), some Ethernet and CSMA/CD, understand bandwidth*delay products, latency, a bit of TCP • http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~srini/15-441/F06/

  7. Questions about logistics? • Or should we move on to networking? • In a manner of speaking…

  8. Muscle-Powered Communications • Human messengers on foot or horseback • “Command and Control” between capital and the field • 14 AD: Roman relays—50 miles per day for regular mail, 100 miles per day for express mail • 1280 AD: Kublai Khan—200-250 mi per day“Poste Haste”— “Fast Post” —riders signal by horns

  9. “Let us turn now to the system of post-horses by which the Great Khan sends his dispatches. You must know that the city of Khan-balik is a centre from which many roads radiate to many provinces, one to each, and every road bears the name of the province to which it runs. ... When one of the Great Khan's messengers sets out along any of these roads, he has only to go twenty-five miles and there he finds a posting station, which in their language is called yamb and in our language may be rendered as 'horse post'. … Here the messengers find no less than 400 horses, stationed here by the Great Khan's orders and always kept in readiness for his messengers … "By this means the Great Khan's messengers travel throughout his dominions and have lodgings and horses fully accoutred for every stage. … The whole organization is so stupendous and so costly that it baffles speech and writing.” -- Marco Polo (1290)

  10. The Pony Express 1861 AD: The Pony Express • 150-200 mi/day, 1966 mi from Missouri to California, 10-13 days • Longest ride: 14 year old “Buffalo Bill” Cody, 384 mi • Record time: 7 days 17 hours with President Lincoln’s Inaugural Address, March 4, 1861 Western Union’s line puts it out of business, October 1861

  11. Visual communications: The optical telegraph Pics: Proc. Symp. on the Optical Telegraph, Stockholm, June ’94 • Chappe (1763-1805), a “defense contractor”; 1st message successfully sent in 1794 • 1799: Napoleon seizes power; sends “Paris is quiet, and the good citizens are content.” • 1814: Extends from Paris to Belgium & Italy • 1840: 4000 miles, 556 stations, 8 main lines, 11 sublines, each hop ~10 km • Many “advanced” techniques: switching, framing, codes, redundant relays, message acks, priority messages, error notification, primitive encryption!

  12. Scientific Advances • Late 18th—Early 19th Century • Increasing evidence of the close relationship between electricity and magnetism • Oersted (Copenhagen): demonstrated electricity’s ability to deflect a needle • Sturgeon (London), 1825: electromagnet demo • Joseph Henry, 1830: 1-mile demo: current through long wires, causing bell to ring! • Faraday (London), 1831: EM induction experiments (induction ring), basis for motors

Dots and Dashes Span the Globe • 1852: First international telegram • Reuters establishes “Telegraph News Network” • 1858: Cyrus Field lays first transatlantic cable • US President & Queen Victoria exchange telegrams • Line fails in a few months • 1866: New cable & technology developed by William Thompson (Lord Kelvin)

  16. Dots and Dashes Span The Globe • Communications “arms” race in the Imperial Age • No nation could trust its messages to a foreign power • 1914: British cut the German overseas cables within hours of the start of WW I; Germany retaliates by cutting England’s Baltic cables and the overland lines to the Middle East through Turkey • Strategic necessity: circumventing the tyranny of the telegraph lines owned by nation states

  17. Wireless! James Clerk Maxwell (1831-1879) "... we have strong reason to conclude that light itself -- including radiant heat, and other radiations if any -- is an electromagnetic disturbance in the form of waves propagated through the electromagnetic field according to electromagnetic laws." Dynamical Theory of the Electromagnetic Field, 1864. Heinrich Hertz (1857 - 1894) • Mid-1880s: Demonstrated experimentally the wave character of electrical transmission in space

  18. Wireless Telegraphy Guglielmo Marconi • 1895: 21 year-old demonstrates communication at distances much greater than thought possible • Offers invention to Italian government, but they refuse • 1897: Demonstrates system on Salisbury Plain to British Royal Navy, who becomes an early customer • 1901: First wireless transmission across the Atlantic • 1907: Regular commercial service commenced

  19. “Portable” radio, circa 1915 Airborne radio telephone, post WW I Wireless in Warfare

  20. The Telegraph Learns to Talk • Morse telegraph: no multiplexing • Only one message sent/received at a time • Second half of 19th century: many researchers work on improving capacity • One idea: sending messages at different pitches (Graham Bell)

  23. Mechanical Telephone Switch Almon Brown Strowger (1839 - 1902) • 1889: Invents the “girl-less, cuss-less” telephone system

  24. “Ma Bell” and the telcos. • Bell’s patents expire in 1890s; over 6000 independent operators spring up • 1910: Bell System controls 50% of local telephone market • 1913: AT&T & U. S. government reach Kingsbury Agreement: AT&T becomes regulated monopoly while promising "universal" telephone service; Controls “toll” services in U.S. • Long distance interconnection withheld as a competitive weapon • 1950: Bell System controls 84% of the local telephone access market • 1984: Divesture of Ma Bell (Judge Greene) • 1996: Trivesiture of AT&T Bell (AT&T, Lucent, NCR) • Much activitity, mergers, splits, acquisitions over past 10 years
