2. Basic Network Concepts 2 A network is a collection of computers and other devices that can send data to and Receive data from one another, more or less in real time. A network is often connected by wires, and the bits of data are turned into electromagnetic waves that move through the wires. Each machine on a network is called a node. Most nodes are computers, Nodes that are fully functional computers are also called hosts Every network node has an address, a sequence of bytes that uniquely identifies it.

3. Basic Network Concepts(cont) 3 On some kinds of networks, nodes also have text names that help human beings identify them such as “www.elharo.com” or “Beth Harold’s Computer.” All modern computer networks are packet-switched networks: data traveling on the network is broken into chunks called packets and each packet is handled separately. Each packet contains information about who sent it and where it’s going The most important advantage of breaking data into individually addressed packets is that packets from many ongoing exchanges can travel on one wire, which makes it much cheaper to build a network.

4. What is a protocol? A protocol is a precise set of rules defining how computers communicate: the format of addresses, how data is split into packets, and so on There are many different protocols defining different aspects of network communication. For example, the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) defines how web browsers and servers communicate; at the other end of the spectrum. The IEEE 802.3 standard defines a protocol for how bits are encoded as electrical signals on a particular type of wire. 4

5. What is an internet? A set of interconnected networks The Internet is the most famous example Networks can be completely different –Ethernet, ATM, modem, … –(TCP/)IP is what links them Routers are devices on multiple networks that pass traffic between them Individual networks pass traffic from one router or endpoint to another TCP/IP hides the details as much as possible 5

6. THE INTERNET AND TCP/IP 6 The Internet was originally a research internetwork designed to connect several different heterogeneous networks. It was sponsored by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA). Today, however, the Internet is an internetwork that connects millions of computers throughout the world. The Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) is a suite or a stack of protocols that officially controls the Internet. TCP/IP was developed before the OSI model. Therefore, the layers in the TCP/IP protocol do not exactly match those in the OSI model.

7. The TCP/IP model 7 There are several different layer models, each organized to fit the needs of a particular Kind of network. This Book uses the standard TCP/IP four-layer model appropriate for the Internet,

8. 8 TCP/IP and OSI model

9. The TCP/IP model TCP/IP is based on a four-layer reference model. All protocols that belong to the TCP/IP protocol suite are located in the top three layers of this model. As shown in the following illustration, each layer of the TCP/IP model corresponds to one or more layers of the seven-layer Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) reference model proposed by the International Standards Organization (ISO). 9

10. 10 The TCP/IP model

11. 11 The types of services performed and protocols used at each layer within the TCP/IP model are described in more detail in the following Layer DescriptionProtocols Application Defines TCP/IP application protocols and how host programs interface with transport layer services to use the network. HTTP, Telnet, FTP, TFTP, SNMP, DNS, SMTP, X Windows, other application protocols Transport Provides communication session management between host computers. Defines the level of service and status of the connection used when transporting data. TCP, UDP, RTP Internet Packages data into IP datagrams, which contain source and destination address information that is used to forward the datagrams between hosts and across networks. Performs routing of IP datagrams. IP, ICMP, ARP, RARP Network interface Specifies details of how data is physically sent through the network, including how bits are electrically signaled by hardware devices that interface directly with a network medium, such as coaxial cable, optical fiber, or twisted-pair copper wire. Ethernet, Token Ring, FDDI, X.25, Frame Relay, RS-232, v.35

12. 12 Transport Protocols Relates to Lab 5. An overview of the transport protocols of the TCP/IP protocol suite. Also, a short discussion of UDP.

13. 13 Orientation We move one layer up and look at the transport layer.

14. 14 Orientation Transport layer protocols are end-to-end protocols They are only implemented at the hosts

15. 15 Transport Protocols in the Internet UDP - User Datagram Protocol datagram oriented unreliable, connectionless simple unicast and multicast useful only for few applications, e.g., multimedia applications used a lot for services –network management (SNMP), routing (RIP), naming (DNS), etc. TCP - Transmission Control Protocol stream oriented reliable, connection-oriented complex only unicast used for most Internet applications: –web (http), email (smtp), file transfer (ftp), terminal (telnet), etc. The Internet supports 2 transport protocols

16. 16 UDP - User Datagram Protocol UDP is supports unreliable transmissions of datagrams UDP merely extends the host-to-to-host delivery service of IP datagram to an application-to-application service The only thing that UDP adds is multiplexing and demultiplexing

17. 17 UDP Format Port numbers identify sending and receiving applications (processes). Maximum port number is 2 16 -1= 65,535 Message Length is at least 8 bytes (I.e., Data field can be empty) and at most 65,535 Checksum is for header (of UDP and some of the IP header fields)

18. 18 Port Numbers UDP (and TCP) use port numbers to identify applications A globally unique address at the transport layer (for both UDP and TCP) is a tuple There are 65,535 UDP ports per host.

19. 19 IP Address IP (Internet Protocol) address: numerical address given to each computer connected to the Internet An IP address consists of four numbers (ranging from 0 to 255) separated by periods. Examples: 128.95.1.207 209.131.36.158 4.2.2.1

20. 20 Getting an IP Address DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol): protocol for assigning IP addresses to devices on a network protocol: standard procedure for sending and receiving data between computers –Examples: HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol) SFTP (Secure File Transfer Protocol) SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) IMAP (Internet Message Access Protocol)

21. 21 Domain Name Every computer has a network address e.g. 158.132.161.99 To access a computer, we need to specify its network address Human beings are weak in memorizing numbers We prefer computer name or domain name e.g. hkpu10.polyu.edu.hk Need a machine on the Internet to convert name to number

22. 22 Top-Level Domain top-level domain: last part of domain name –Examples:.com (commercial).org (organization).edu (education).gov (government).uk (United Kingdom).ca (Canada) Some top-level domains (e.g.,.com and.org ) are open for registration to anyone, whereas others (e.g.,.gov and.edu ) have rules restricting eligibility. List of top-level domains: –http://www.iana.org/domains/root/db/http://www.iana.org/domains/root/db/

23. Internet Address Blocks 23 The identifier used in the IP layer of the TCP/IP protocol suite to identify each device connected to the Internet is called the Internet address or IP address. An IPv4 address is a 32-bit address that uniquely and universally defines the connection of a host or a router to the Internet; an IP address is the address of the interface.

24. 24 Network Address Translation (NAT) Benefits –Use of a single IP address among many devices in a network –Use of a dynamic IP address for home user for sharing Private Addresses

25. Firewall 1 25 A computer firewall is a router or other communications device which filters access to a protected network. Firewall is also a program that screens all incoming traffic and protects the network from unwelcome intruders.

26. Firewall 2 26 Firewalls can also be used as access control measures to only allow certain people within the organization access to the Internet. Many firewalls now contain features to control, authenticate and secure users who may want to access a company internal data from the Internet or even another company.

27. Proxy Server1 27 Proxy Server is a computer program that acts as an intermediary between a web browser and a web server. To give users rapid access to popular web destinations

28. Proxy Server 2 28 Internet Service Providers use proxy servers as "holding bins" to store frequently requested pages, rather than going out and fetching them repeatedly from the Net Proxy server is also used to control and monitor outbound traffic

29. 29 Relationship between Proxy Server, Firewall Proxy Server is associated with firewall and also caching program The functions of proxy, firewall, and caching can be in separate server programs or combined in a single package. Proxy Server can be installed in the firewall to get a kind of proxy firewall

30. The Client/Server Model 30 Client/server model (distributed computing) divides processing tasks between the client and the server

31. 31 Client/Server Model (cont’d) Client/server advantages Two-tier and three-tier computing Advantages of three-tier computing

32. Internet Standards there are many standards organizations in the world, the two that produce most of the standards relevant to application layer network programming and protocols are the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) and the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). The IETF is a relatively informal, democratic body open to participation by any interested party. Its standards are based on “rough consensus and running code” andtend to follow rather than lead implementations. IETF standards include TCP/IP, MIME, and SMTP 32
