12. 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

15. 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

16. 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. Kazaa, BitTorrenth Introduction

17. 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

18. 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

20. 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

31. roughly hierarchical at center: “tier-1” ISPs (e.g., Verizon, Sprint, AT&T, Cable and Wireless), national/international coverage treat each other as equals Tier-1 providers interconnect (peer) privately Internet structure: network of networks Tier 1 ISP Tier 1 ISP Tier 1 ISP Introduction

32. POP: point-of-presence to/from backbone peering … …. … … … to/from customers Tier-1 ISP: e.g., Sprint Introduction

33. “Tier-2” ISPs: smaller (often regional) ISPs Connect to one or more tier-1 ISPs, possibly other tier-2 ISPs Tier-2 ISPs also peer privately with each other. • 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 Introduction

42. 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

43. 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?
