Presentation Transcript

  1. Introduction • Instructor: Visiting Instructor Adomas Svirskas, Vilnius University, Lithuania • Learning Resources: • Computer Networks, Third Edition, Andrew S. Tanenbaum, Prentice Hall, 1996 • Computer Networks and Internets, Second Edition, Douglas E. Comer, Prentice Hall, 1999 • http://www.stcloudstate.edu/~svirskas

  2. Course Goals • Understanding of key concepts of computer networking architecture • Coverage of ISO/OSI and TCP/IP reference models • Coverage of TCP/IP protocol stack and data transmission over the Internet • Practical experience with TCP/IP protocols

  3. Definition of Computer Network • Computer network - interconnected collection of autonomous computers • Mainframe computer with terminals is not a computer network • Computer network is not a Distributed system • Distributed system is a software, built on top of a network

  4. Uses of Computer Networks • Networks for companies • Resource sharing • High reliability • Saving money • Communication medium • Networks for people • Access to remote information • Person-to-person communication • Interactive entertainment

  5. Classification of Computer Networks • By transmission technology: • Broadcast networks • Point-to-point networks • By scale: • Local area networks • Metropolitan area networks • Wide area networks • The Internet

  6. Classification of Networks Figure from book Computer Networks 3rd ed., by A.S. Tanenbaum

  7. Structure of Computer Network Figure from book Computer Networks 3rd ed., by A.S. Tanenbaum

  8. Network Software • Networks are organized as set layers or levels • Purpose of each layer is to provide set of services • Entities of the same layer on different machines are called peers • Peers communicate using a protocol • Protocol is set of rules and conventions of the communication

  9. Layered Communication Model Figure from book Computer Networks 3rd ed., by A.S. Tanenbaum

  10. Protocol Stacks • Upper layer uses an interface to access services, provided by lower layer • Comprehensive interface in a crucial thing in protocol stack implementation • A set of layers and protocols is called a network architecture • A set of protocols is referred to as a protocol stack

  11. Multi-layer communication example Figure from book Computer Networks 3rd ed., by A.S. Tanenbaum

  12. Multi-layer communication principles Figure from book Computer Networks 3rd ed., by A.S. Tanenbaum

  13. Design Issues for the Layers • Addressing of entities • Rules for data transfer • Error control • Message order • Message size • Routing of messages • Multiplexing/demultiplexing • Transfer rate, quality of service

  14. Interfaces and services • Layer n - service provider • Layer n+1 - service user Figure from book Computer Networks 3rd ed., by A.S. Tanenbaum

  15. Types of services • Connection-oriented - like telephone system works • Reliable message stream - Sequence of pages • Reliable byte stream - Remote login • Unreliable connection - Digitized voice • Connectionless - like postal system works • Unreliable datagram - Electronic junk mail • Acknowledged datagram - Registered mail • Request-reply - Database query

  16. Classification of service primitives • Request - an entity wants the service to do some work • Indication - an entity is to be informed about an event • Response - an entity wants to respond to an event • Confirm - the response to an earlier request has come back

  17. Example of Interaction • CONNECT.request - Request a connection to be established • CONNECT.indication - Signal the called party • CONNECT.response - Used by callee to accept/reject calls • CONNECT.confirm - Tell the caller whether the call was accepted • DATA.request - Request that data be sent • DATA.indication - Signal the arrival of data • DISCONNECT.request - Request a connection to be released • DISCONNECT.indication - Signal the peer about the request Note: Services can be confirmed or unconfirmed

  18. Example of Interaction Figure from book Computer Networks 3rd ed., by A.S. Tanenbaum

  19. The Relationship of Services and Protocols • A service - set of primitives (operations) provided by supplier to user • A protocol - set of rules governing the format and meaning the frames, packets, or messages that are exchanged by the peer entities within a layer. • A protocol can be referred to as an implementation of the service
