Presentation Transcript

  1. CPSC 601.38: Performance Issues in High Speed Networks • Professor Carey Williamson Department of Computer Science University of Calgary • Graduate-level course on high speed networks and network performance issues • URL http://www.cpsc.ucalgary.ca/~carey/CPSC601.38

  2. Motivation “Opening a highway does not by itself drastically change the speed of the bicycles” - Ancient Proverb

  3. High Speed Networking:A Layered View • Video, Web, FTP • TCP/IP, UDP • Unix • VAX, Alpha • Adapters, NICs • FDDI, DQDB, ATM • Fibers, lasers, SONET Application Designers Protocol Architects O.S. Architects CPU, Memory,Disk LAN Interfaces Media Access Optical Devices

  4. High Speed Networking:A Layered View • Faster media does not necessarily imply faster network applications • Interdependence between layers • Interactions between protocols • Need to consider trends of all layers

  5. Course Overview • Main focus: Internet technologies, protocols, and applications • Secondary focus: Performance issues • Textbook: None (current literature only) Goal: Understanding the current state of the art for high speed networking research
