Presentation Transcript

  1. Internetworking: Concepts, Architecture, and Protocols

  2. Motivation ForInternetworking • LANs • Low cost • Limited distance • WANs • High cost • Unlimited distance

  3. Heterogeneity IsInevitable • No single networking technology best for all needs.

  4. Universal Service • Fundamental concept in networking • Pioneered by telephone system • Arbitrary pair of computers can communicate • Desirable • Difficult in a heterogeneous world

  5. Heterogeneity And Universal Service • Incompatibilities among networks • Electrical properties • Signaling and data encoding • Packet formats • Addresses

  6. The Bottom Line • Although universal service is highly desirable, incompatibilities among network hardware and physical addressing prevent an organization from building a bridged network that includes arbitrary technologies.

  7. An Internetwork • Begin with heterogeneous network technologies • Connect the physical networks • Create software to make resulting system appear homogeneous • Called an internetwork or internet

  8. Connecting Heterogeneous Networks • Computer system used • Special-purpose • Dedicated • Works with LAN or WAN technologies • Known as • Internet router • Internet gateway

  9. Illustration Of An Internet Router • Cloud denotes arbitrary network technology • One interface per network

  10. Important Idea • A router can interconnect networks that use different technologies, including different media and media access techniques, physical addressing schemes, or frame formats.

  11. Internet Architecture • Multiple • Networks • Routers interconnecting networks • Host computer connects to a network • Single router has insufficient • CPU power and memory • I/O capability

  12. Internetworking • Goal: communication system • Seamless • Uniform • General-purpose • Universal • Hides heterogeneity from user

  13. The Internet Concept

  14. To Hide Heterogeneity • Create ‘‘virtual’’ network • Invent • Addressing scheme • Naming scheme • Implement with • Protocol software • Note: protocol software needed on both hosts and routers

  15. Internet Protocols • Known as TCP/IP • Many protocols comprise suite • Designed to work together • Divided into five conceptual layers

  16. Layering Used With TCP/IP • Note: TCP/IP layering model replaces the old ISO model

  17. TCP/IP Layers • Layer 1: Physical • Basic network hardware • Layer 2: Network Interface • MAC frame format • MAC addressing • Interface between computer and network (NIC) • Layer 3: Internet • Facilities to send packets across internet composed of multiple routers

  18. TCP/IP Layers(continued) • Layer 4: Transport • Transport from an application on one computer to application on another • Layer 5: Application • Everything else
