CSE401N2 A closer look at network structure: r network edge: applications and hosts r network core: m routers m network of networks r access networks, physical media: communication links

CSE401N3 The network edge: r end systems (hosts): m run application programs m e.g., WWW, m at “edge of network” r client/server model m client host requests, receives service from server m e.g., WWW client (browser)/ server; client/server r peer-peer model: m host interaction symmetric m e.g.: Gnutella, KaZaA

CSE401N4 Network edge: connection-oriented service Goal: data transfer between end sys. r handshaking: setup (prepare for) data transfer ahead of time m Hello, hello back human protocol m set up “state” in two communicating hosts r TCP - Transmission Control Protocol m Internet’s connection- oriented service m Why not connected? TCP service [RFC 793] r reliable, in-order byte- stream data transfer m loss: acknowledgements and retransmissions r flow control: m sender won’t overwhelm receiver r congestion control: m senders “slow down sending rate” when network congested

CSE401N5 Network edge: connectionless service Goal: data transfer between end systems m same as before! r UDP - User Datagram Protocol [RFC 768]: Internet’s connectionless service m unreliable data transfer m no flow control m no congestion control App’s using TCP: r HTTP (WWW), FTP (file transfer), Telnet (remote login), SMTP ( ) App’s using UDP: r streaming media, teleconferencing, Internet telephony

CSE401N6 The Network Core r mesh of interconnected routers r the fundamental question: how is data transferred through net? m circuit switching: dedicated circuit per call: telephone net m packet-switching: data sent thru net in discrete “chunks”

CSE401N7 Network Core: Circuit Switching End-end resources reserved for “call” r link bandwidth, switch capacity r dedicated resources: no sharing r circuit-like (guaranteed) performance r call setup required

CSE401N8 Network Core: Circuit Switching network resources (e.g., bandwidth) divided into “pieces” r pieces allocated to calls r resource piece idle if not used by owning call (no sharing) r dividing link bandwidth into “pieces” m frequency division m time division r dividing link bandwidth into “pieces” m frequency division m time division

CSE401N11 Circuit Switching: Resources (Frequency and Time) r Divide link bandwidth— the resource--into “pieces” m frequency division multiplexing (FDM) m time division multiplexing (TDM)

CSE401N12 Circuit Switching: The Process r Three phases 1. circuit establishment 2. data transfer 3. circuit termination r If circuit not available: “busy signal”

CSE401N13 circuit establishment DATA data transmission circuit termination Host 1Host 2 Node 1Node 2 propagation delay from Host 1 to Node 1 propagation delay from Host 2 To Host 1 processing delay at Node 1 Timing Diagram of Circuit Switching

CSE401N14 Delay Calculation in Circuit-Switched Networks Transmission delay: r R = bandwidth (bps) r L = packet length (bits) r time to send a packet into link = L/R Propagation delay: r d = length of physical link r s = propagation speed in medium (~2x10 5 km/sec) r propagation delay = d/s r Propagation delay: delay for the first bit to go from source to destination r Transmission delay: time to pump data onto link at reserved rate

CSE401N15 An Example r Propagation delay m suppose the distance between host 1 and host 2 is 4000 km, then one-way propagation delay is: r Transmission delay m suppose we reserve one slot of a T1 line, which has a bandwidth of Mbps is divided into 24 slots, and thus each reserved slot has a bandwidth of 64 Kbps m then the transmission delay of a file with 6.4 Kbits is r Suppose the setup message is very small, and the total setup processing delay is 200 ms

CSE401N16 An Example (cont.) r Then the delay to transfer a 6.4 Kbits file from host 1 to host 2 (from the beginning until host receives last bit of the file) is: DATA

CSE401N17 Network Core: Packet Switching each end-end data stream divided into packets r user A, B packets share network resources r each packet uses full link bandwidth r resources used as needed, resource contention: r aggregate resource demand can exceed amount available r congestion: packets queue, wait for link use r store and forward: packets move one hop at a time m transmit over link m wait turn at next link Bandwidth division into “pieces” Dedicated allocation Resource reservation

CSE401N18 Packet Switching Each end-to-end data flow divided into packets r Packets have the following structure: Header and Trailer carry control information (e.g., destination address, check sum) (where is the control information for circuit switching?) r At each node the entire packet is received, stored briefly, and then forwarded to the next node (Store-and-Forward Networks) r Each packet is passed through the network from node to node along some path (Routing) HeaderData Trailer

CSE401N21 Packet Switching: Resources r Each packet waits for its turn at the output link r On its turn, a packet uses full link bandwidth r Resources used as needed r Aggregate resource demand can exceed amount available r Congestion: packets queue, wait for link use Bandwidth division into “pieces” Resource reservation Dedicated allocation

CSE401N22 A Taxonomy of Packet-Switched Networks According to Routing r Goal: move packets among routers from source to destination m we’ll study several routing algorithms later in the course r Two types of packet switching m datagram network each packet of a flow is switched independently m virtual circuit network: all packets from one flow are sent along a pre-established path (= virtual circuit)

CSE401N23 Datagram Packet Switching r Example: IP networks r Each packet is independently switched m each packet header contains complete destination address m receiving a packet, a router looks at the packet’s destination address and searches its current routing table to determines the next hop m routes may change during session m routers do not keep any state about a flow An example of datagram-style routing in daily life?

CSE401N26 Virtual-Circuit Packet Switching r Example: Asynchornous Transfer Mode (ATM) networks r Hybrid of circuit switching and datagram switching m each packet carries a short tag (virtual-circuit (VC) #), tag determines next hop m fixed path determined at Virtual Circuit setup time, remains fixed thru flow m routers maintain per-flow state r What advantages do virtual circuit have over datagram? m Guarantees in-sequence delivery of packets m However: Packets from different virtual circuits may be interleaved Incoming Interface Incoming VC# Outgoing Interface Outgoing VC# …
