  1. Goals: review key topics from intro networks course equalize backgrounds identify remedial work ease into course Review (by yourself): overview error control flow control congestion control routing LANs addressing synthesis: “a day in the life” control timescales Networking Review Readings: Review your csci5211 or csci4211 textbooks CSci5221: Introduction

  2. What’s a Network: Key Features • Providing certain services • transport goods, mail, information or data • Shared resources • used by many users, often concurrently • Basic building blocks • nodes (active entities): process and transfer goods/data • links (passive medium): passive “carrier” of goods/data • Typically “multi-hop” • two “end points” cannot directly reach each other • need other nodes/entities to relay CSci5221: Introduction

  3. network edge: millions of end-system devices: pc’s workstations, servers PDA’s, phones, toasters running network apps network core: routers, switches forwarding data packets: packet switching calls: circuit switching communication links fiber, copper, radio, … What’s a Network: “Nuts and Bolts” View router workstation server mobile local net regional net company net CSci5221: Introduction

  4. Communication Network SwitchedCommunication Network BroadcastCommunication Network Packet-SwitchedCommunication Network Circuit-SwitchedCommunication Network Virtual Circuit Network Datagram Network A Taxonomy of Communication Networks • Communication networks can be classified based on the way in which the nodes exchange information: CSci5221: Introduction

  5. Broadcast vs. Switched Communication Networks • Broadcast communication networks • Information transmitted by any node is received by every other node in the network • E.g., LANs (Ethernet, Wavelan) • Problem: coordinate the access of all nodes to the shared communication medium (Multiple Access Problem) • Switched communication networks • Information is transmitted to a sub-set of designated nodes • E.g., WANs (Telephony Network, Internet) • Problem: how to forward information to intended node(s) • Done by special nodes (e.g., routers, switches) running routing protocols CSci5221: Introduction

  6. Data/Computer Networks • Delivery of information (“data”) among computers of all kinds • servers, desktops, laptop, PDAs, cell phones, ...... • General-Purpose • Not for specific types of data or groups of nodes, or using specific technologies • Utilizing a variety of technologies • “physical/link layer” technologies for connecting nodes • copper wires, optical links, wireless radio, satellite • or even “non-electronic” means: e.g., cars, postal services, humans -- e.g., recent “delay-tolerant networks” efforts for 3rd world countries CSci5221: Introduction

  7. End-end resources reserved for “call” link bandwidth, switch capacity dedicated resources: no sharing circuit-like (guaranteed) performance call setup required Circuit Switching CSci5221: Introduction

  8. each end-end data stream divided into packets user A, B packets share network resources each packet uses full link bandwidth resources used as needed, Bandwidth division into “pieces” Dedicated allocation Resource reservation Packet Switching resource contention: • aggregate resource demand can exceed amount available • congestion: packets queue, wait for link use • store and forward: packets move one hop at a time • transmit over link • wait turn at next link CSci5221: Introduction

  9. “reliability” – no congestion, in order data in circuit-switching packet switching: better bandwidth use state, resources: packet switching has less state good: less control-plane processing resources along the way More dataplane (address lookup) processing failure modes (routers/links down): packet switching routing reconfigures sub-second timescale; circuit-switching: more complex recovery – need to involve all (downstream) switches on path Packet Switching vs Circuit Switching: Why? filled in during class! CSci5221: Introduction

  10. The Internet • Global scale, general purpose, heterogeneous-technologies, public, computer network • Internet Protocol • Open standard: Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) as standard body ( http://www.ietf.org ) • Technical basis for other types of networks • Intranet: enterprise IP network • Developed by the research community CSci5221: Introduction

  11. Services Provided by the Internet • Shared access to computing resources • Telnet (1970’s) • Shared access to data/files • FTP, NFS, AFS (1980’s) • Communication medium over which people interact • Email (1980’s), on-line chat rooms (1990’s) • Instant messaging, IP Telephony (2000’s) • A medium for information dissemination • USENET (1980’s) • WWW (1990’s) • Replacing newspaper, magazine • Audio, video (2000’s): peer-to-peer systems • Replacing radio, telephony, TV, … CSci5221: Introduction

  12. Origin of Internet? Started by U.S. research/military organizations: • Three Major Actors: • DARPA: Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency • funds technology with military goals • DoD: U.S. Department of Defense • early adaptor of Internet technology for production use • NSF: National Science Foundation • funds university CSci5221: Introduction

  13.

  21. Fundamental Issues in Networking Networking is more than connecting nodes! • Naming/Addressing • How to find name/address of the party (or parties) you would like to communicate with • Address: bit- or byte-string that identifies a node • Types of addresses • Unicast: node-specific • Broadcast: all nodes in the network • Multicast: some subset of nodes in the network • Routing/Forwarding: • process of determining how to send packets towards the destination based on its address • Finding out neighbors, building routing tables CSci5221: Introduction

  22. UUNET Europe CSci5221: Introduction

  23. Other Key Issues in Networking • Detecting whether there is an error! • Fixing the error if possible • Deciding how fast to send, meeting user demands, and managing network resources efficiently • Make sure integrity and authenticity of messages, • …… CSci5221: Introduction

  24. Fundamental Problems in Networking … What can go wrong? • Bit-level errors: due to electrical interferences • Packet-level errors: packet loss due to buffer overflow/congestion • Out of order delivery: packets may takes different paths • Link/node failures: cable is cut or system crash • Others: e.g., malicious attacks CSci5221: Introduction

  25. Fundamental Problems in Networking What can be done? • Add redundancy to detect and correct erroneous packets • Acknowledge received packets and retransmit lost packets • Assign sequence numbers and reorder packets at the receiver • Sense link/node failures and route around failed links/nodes Goal: to fill the gap between what applications expect and what underlying technology provides Key Challenges in Internet: large, complex, decentralized, ever-evolving, distributed network of networks! CSci5221: Introduction

  26. Key Performance Metrics • Bandwidth (throughput) • data transmitted per time unit • link versus end-to-end • 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 / c Transmit = Size / Bandwidth Delay Bandwidth Product: # of bits that can be carried in transit • Reliability, availability, … • Efficiency/overhead of implementation, …… CSci5221: Introduction

  27. Network components: (edge/core) nodes and links Network Architecture and Structure How do we talk about “structure” of network and its architecture? • layered architecture • structure allows identification, relationship of complex system’s pieces: layered reference model for discussion • layer N builds on services provided by layer N-1 • Layer N provides service to layer N+1 • Notions of protocol, service and peer interfaces • physical topology, interconnection CSci5221: Introduction

  28. human protocols: “what’s the time?” “I have a question” introductions … specific msgs sent … specific actions taken when msgs received, or other events network protocols: machines rather than humans all communication activity in Internet governed by protocols What’s a Protocol? protocols define format, order of msgs sent and received among network entities, and actions taken on msg transmission, receipt CSci5221: Introduction

  29. a human protocol and a computer network protocol: Hi TCP connection req. Hi TCP connection reply. Get http://gaia.cs.umass.edu/index.htm Got the time? 2:00 <file> time What’s a Protocol? CSci5221: Introduction

  30. Protocols and Interfaces • Protocols: specification/implementation of a “service” or “functionality” • Each protocol object has two different interfaces • service interface: operations on this protocol • peer-to-peer interface: messages exchanged with peer CSci5221: Introduction

  31. application: supporting network applications ftp, smtp, http transport: host-host data transfer tcp, udp network: routing of datagrams from source to destination ip, routing protocols link: data transfer between neighboring network elements ppp, ethernet physical: bits “on the wire” application transport network link physical Internet Protocol Stack CSci5221: Introduction

  32. E.g.: transport take data from app add addressing, reliability check info to form “datagram” send datagram to peer wait for peer to ack receipt analogy: post office network link physical application transport network link physical application transport network link physical application transport network link physical application transport network link physical data data data ack Layering: Logical Communication transport transport CSci5221: Introduction

  34. Internet Hourglass Architecture CSci5221: Introduction

  35. Implications of Hourglass A single Internet layer module: • Allows all networks to interoperate • all networks technologies that support IP can exchange packets • Allows all applications to function on all networks • all applications that can run on IP can use any network • Simultaneous developments above and below IP CSci5221: Introduction

  36. Internet Names and Addresses • host and domain names • other “names”: email addresses, URLs, … • IP addresses: logical, with global reachability • IPv4: 32 bits, IPv6: 128 bits, “global” • two-level hierarchy: network part and host part • CIDR: network prefixes, e.g., 128.101.0.0/24 • Network Address Translation (NAT) complicates global reachability • MAC (and other physical-layer) addresses • used and understood by “native” physical technologies! According to Shoch (IEEE COMPCON’78) • name: identifies what you want • address: identifies where it is • route: identifies how to get there CSci5221: Introduction

  37. network edge: applications and hosts network core: routers network of networks access networks, physical media: communication links A Closer Look at Network Structure: CSci5221: Introduction

  38. end systems (hosts): run application programs e.g., WWW, email at “edge of network” client/server model client host requests, receives service from server e.g., WWW client (browser)/ server; email client/server peer-peer model: host interaction symmetric e.g.: Gnutella, KaZaA The Network Edge: CSci5221: Introduction

  39. Goal: data transfer between end sys. handshaking: setup (prepare for) data transfer ahead of time Hello, hello back human protocol set up “state” in two communicating hosts TCP - Transmission Control Protocol Internet’s connection-oriented 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: Connection-Oriented Service CSci5221: Introduction

  40. Goal: data transfer between end systems same as before! UDP - User Datagram Protocol [RFC 768]: Internet’s connectionless service unreliable data transfer no flow control no congestion control App’s using TCP: HTTP (WWW), FTP (file transfer), Telnet (remote login), SMTP (email) App’s using UDP: streaming media, teleconferencing, Internet telephony Network Edge: Connectionless Service CSci5221: Introduction

  41. 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 CSci5221: Introduction

  42. Typical home network components: ADSL or cable modem router/firewall Ethernet wireless access point wireless laptops to/from cable headend cable modem router/ firewall wireless access point Ethernet (switched) Example Access Net: Home Network CSci5221: Introduction

  43. mesh of interconnected routers the fundamental question: how is data transferred through net? circuit switching: dedicated circuit per call: telephone net packet-switching: data sent thru net in discrete “chunks” The Network Core CSci5221: Introduction

  44. Goal: move data among routers from source to dest. Network Core: Routing datagram packet network: • destination address determines next hop • routes may change during session • analogy: driving, asking directions • No notion of call state virtual circuit network: • packet carries tag, tag determines next hop • fixed path (for call) determined at call setup time • routers maintain little per-call state; resources not allocated circuit-switched network: • call allocated time slots of bandwidth at each link • fixed path (for call) determined at call setup • switches maintain lots of per call state (what?): resource allocation CSci5221: Introduction

  45. roughly hierarchical at center: “tier-1” ISPs (e.g., UUNet, BBN/Genuity, Sprint, AT&T), national/international coverage treat each other as equals NAP Tier-1 providers also interconnect at (public/private) Internet exchange points, or private peering links Tier-1 providers interconnect (peer) privately Internet Structure: Network of Networks Tier 1 ISP Tier 1 ISP Tier 1 ISP CSci5221: Introduction

  46. “Tier-2” ISPs: smaller (often regional) ISPs Connect to one or more tier-1 ISPs, possibly other tier-2 ISPs IXP Tier-2 ISPs also peer privately with each other, interconnect at IXPs • 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 1 ISP Tier 1 ISP Tier 1 ISP Tier-2 ISP Tier-2 ISP Tier-2 ISP Internet Structure: Network of Networks CSci5221: Introduction

  47. “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 Local and tier- 3 ISPs are customers of higher tier ISPs connecting them to rest of Internet Tier-2 ISP Tier-2 ISP Tier 1 ISP NAP Tier 1 ISP Tier 1 ISP Tier-2 ISP Tier-2 ISP Tier-2 ISP Internet Structure: Network of Networks CSci5221: Introduction

Who Runs the Internet “nobody” really! • standards: Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) • names/numbers: The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) • operational coordination: IEPG(Internet Engineering Planning Group) • networks: ISPs (Internet Service Providers), NAPs (Network Access Points), …… • fibers: telephone companies (mostly) • content: companies, universities, governments, individuals, …; CSci5221: Introduction

  50. Internet “Governing” Bodies • Internet Society (ISOC): membership organization • raise funds for IAB, IETF& IESG, elect IAB • Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF): • a body of several thousands or more volunteers • organized in working groups (WGs) • meet three times a year + email • Internet Architecture Board • architectural oversight, elected by ISOC • Steering Group (IESG): approves standards, • Internet standards, subset of RFC • RFC: “Request For Comments”, since 1969 • most are not standards, also • experimental, informational and historic(al) CSci5221: Introduction
