1. 1 Introduction to TCP/IP and Internet Governance Sirak Kaewjamnong

2. 2 What is TCP/IP Transmission Control Protocol / Internet Protocol TCP/IP refers to an entire suite of networking protocol, developed for use on the Internet. TCP and IP are certainly two of the most important.

3. 3 TCP/IP Characteristics TCP/IP provides the services necessary to interconnect computers and to interconnect networks, creating the Internet. Independent from underlying network topology, physical network hardware, and OS. Unique IP address Universal connectivity through out the network

4. 4 TCP/IP Internetworking

5. 5 TCP/IP Networking Software TCP/IP protocol suites define a set of universal communication service/ Service can be implemented in standardized manner in the networking software, normally bundled in OS.

6. 6 TCP/IP and Internet 1957 USSR Spunik, USA establish ARPA 1969 ARPA funded ARPANET 1971 Network with 15 nodes 1973 Ethernet (Bob Metcalfe, Ph.D. Dissertation) 1983 TCP/IP as a core protocol 1983 BSD 4.2 (U. Berkeley ) with TCP/IP

7. 7 TCP/IP Implementations 1983 4.2BSD: first widely available TCP/IP release 1986 4.3BSD: performance improvements 1988 4.3BSD Tahoe: add slow start, congestion avoidance and fast retransmit 1990 4.3BSD Reno: add TCP header prediction. SLIP compression, new routing table 1993 4.4BSD: add multicasting

9. 9 Internet The world wide group of networks combined with TCP/IP Who control Internet? No single administrative organization IETF determines standards industry also preemptive control standards

10. 10 Internet Technical Bodies Structure IESG WGWG WGWG IETF IAB ISOC International, nonprofit organization Promote research and other activities relating to the Internet Technical Advisor to the ISOC Oversee the development of TCP/IP protocol Internet Society Internet Architecture Board Internet Engineering Task Force Internet Research Task Force IRSG WGWG WGWG IRTF A forum of working groups managed by Internet Engineering Steering Group Develop of protocols and specifications for standardization A forum of working groups managed by Internet Research Steering Group Conduct long- term research

12. 12 Internet Standard Process RFC Internet Draft Proposed Standard Draft Standard Internet Standard official publication for Internet standard and other publications entry-level, protocol specifications should be stable technically at least 2 independence and interoperable implementation that test all specification functions have had significant field use and clear community interest in production use. draft version for informal review and comment Standard track

13. 13 ICANN Formed in October 1998 Internationalization of Policy Functions for DNS and IP Addressing systems and Private Sector (Non-governmental) Management Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers
