Internet and Intranet Fundamentals

Internet and Intranet Fundamentals Class 3 Session A

Topics • TCP/IP • Comer Animations and Images • Internet Architecture (SessionB) • Regulation (Session B)

TCP/IP • Comer Animations and Images • http://www.netbook.cs.purdue.edu/subjindx/indx420.htm • ARP and Reverse ARP • Address Resolution Protocol • IP layer must pass to datalink layer the datalink adress of the destination interface • on same network • ARP automates address table update • uses broadcast • RARP • knows frame address, must find own IP address

TCP / IP • ICMP = Internet Control Message Protocol • routers generate most ICMP traffic • most common types • destination unreachable: can’t find routing table entry • routing redirect: better route exists • time expired: ttl = 0; traceroute uses this • echo request / echo reply: ping uses this

TCP / IPRouting Architecture • Autonomous Systems (AS) • collection of routers under single administration • use same routing protocol • Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP) • keeps routers informed of interior routes • AS-to-AS connection uses a different protocol • Exterior Gateway Protocol • policy routing, transit traffic, local traffic (originating within)

TCP / IPRouting Architecture • Routing Protocols • Reachability Protocols • whether path exists • EGPs and BGPs (Border Gateway Protocol) • Distance Vector Protocol • distance metric to remote network • RIP = Routing Information Protocol • broadcast exchange of routing information • uses UDP • OSPF = Open Shortest Path First

Internet Architecture • Overview • ISPs • Internet Service Providers • Regional Networks • NAPs and MAEs • U.S. Commercial Backbone • Internet Monitoring

Internet ArchitectureOverview • A Network of Networks • internetworking • The Big Picture • http://navigators.com/internet_architecture.html

ISPs • Points of Presence (POPs) • Dial-Up and Dedicated Network Connections • variety of underlying technologies • PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol) • modems • ISDN (Integrated Services Digital Network) • Frame Relay, Dedicated T-1 • ADSL and Cable Modems

ISPs • Large and Small • Connect to Regional Network • may be a regional network • Larger Players • UUNet, PSINet, and Netcom • Telcos: MCI, ATT

ISPs • Internet Access also provided by • OSP (Online Service Providers) • AOL, Compuserve, Prodigy • For a complete list of ISPs seeThe List: http://thelist.internet.com/ • IPPs (Internet Presence Providers) • same as ISP but no access provided

ISP Technology • Aggregators • also known concentrators • handles • incoming dial-up calls (say, 100) • a few ISDN lines • leased-line connections (T-1) • frame relay • and function as a router to the internal ISP network

ISP Technology

Regional Networks • BARRNet: Northern Central California (CA) • CERFnet: Western US and International • CICnet: Midwest US (MN, WI, IA, IN, IL, MI, OH) • MIDnet: Mid-US (NE, OK, AR, MO, IA, KS, SD) • NEARNET: Northeastern US (ME, NH, VT, CT, RI, MA) • NYSERNet: Northeastern US (NY...) • SURAnet: Southeastern US (WV, VA, SC, NC, TN, KY, LA, MS, AL, GA, FL, Washington, D.C., MD, DE) • Westnet: Western US (AZ, CO, ID, NM, UT, WY)

Regional NetworksCERFnet (now AT&T)

Regional Networks

NAPs and MAEs • NAP = Network Access Point • originally NFS • MAE = Metropolitan Area Exchange • MCI Worldcom has a service mark on this • Tier-1 • MAE-East (D.C.) and MAE-West (San Jose) • Tier-2 • LA, Chicago, Dallas, Houston, New York • Giant LAN switch (FDDI)
