Explore the foundations of TCP/IP, the global Internet base technology that has seamlessly handled rapid growth and evolving applications. Learn about the principles, design, and architecture underlying TCP/IP and its adaptation to new network technologies.
E N D
Introduction and Overview Chapter 1
Why Study TCP/IP? • Forms global Internet base technology • Has accommodated explosive growth well • Protocols work over high-speed networks • Basic design has handled new applications • Protocol suite has been adapted to new network technologies • Principles of architecture, addressing, routing, etc. are similar in all protocol suites
What Is TCP/IP? • Official name: TCP/IP Internet Protocol Suite • Transmission Control Protocol • Standard transport level protocol • Connection (stream of data) oriented • Data travels in TCP segments • Internet Protocol • Connectionless (packet) oriented • Puts TCP segments into IP datagrams
Need for Multiple Protocols • Protocols are standards • Provide syntax and semantics for communication • Protocols Computer communication Programming languages Computation • Computation: not deal with CPU instruction set • Communication: not deal with vendor’s hardware • Hides low-level details of communication • Programmers not know specific hardware • Not change programs when hardware changes • Applications work between arbitrary computers
No official TCP/IP protocol architecture • Has 5 relatively independent layers of communications tasks • Standards have been developed for each layer • IP used at internet layer • TCP used at transport layer • OSI model was developed to become the international standardized architecture • Did not happen • Key TCP/IP protocols were already mature • OSI model is more complex
Organization of the Text • Intro and overview of underlying technologies (chap 1-2) • TCP/IP from the viewpoint of a single host (chap 3-12) • Internet architecture as viewed globally (chap 13-19, 31) • Application level services (chap 20-30)
Read Chapter 1 • What is internetworking? • What are protocols? Why are they important? • What is interoperability? • What are the two broad types of protocol services? • What services are provided in each type? • What are the TCP/IP distinguishing features? • History of the Internet • Requests for Comments (RFCs)
Future Growth TCP/IP and Internet continue to evolve Most significant is additional traffic Email to scientific files to WWW users All IPv4 IP addresses have been distributed as of 3 Feb 2011!! http://articles.cnn.com/2011-02-03/tech/internet.addresses.gone_1_addresses-internet-numbers-new-pool?_s=PM:TECH
Future Growth (contd) • Growth of the connected Internet

The Global Index is the overall average of the response rating from all servers queried in the Internet Traffic report. Higher Index means faster Internet. (http://www.internettrafficreport.com/main.htm)
