4. Protocols, Internetworking & the Internet 4 Standards/Standards Bodies Why do we have standards? Why do we have standards? –market driver –cost driver –interoperability between vendors/ dissimilar architectures Disadvantages of standards? Disadvantages of standards? –tend to freeze technology –redundancy, overkill Types of standards Types of standards –Voluntary (driven by de facto use, ubiquity) –Regulatory –Regulatory use of voluntary standards

5. Protocols, Internetworking & the Internet 5 Standards/Standards Bodies The Internet Society The Internet Society –Internet Architecture Board (IAB) defines overall architecture of the Internet defines overall architecture of the Internet provides broad guidance for IETF provides broad guidance for IETF –Internet Engineering Steering Group (IESG) provides technical management of IETF and the Internet standards process provides technical management of IETF and the Internet standards process –Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) IETF designs and develops Internet protocols designs and develops Internet protocols charters standards working groups charters standards working groups publishes RFCs, with approval of IESG publishes RFCs, with approval of IESGRFCs Eight areas defined: General, Applications, Internet, Operations & Management, Routing, Security, Transport, User Services Eight areas defined: General, Applications, Internet, Operations & Management, Routing, Security, Transport, User Services

7. Protocols, Internetworking & the Internet 7 Standards/Standards Bodies International Telecommunications Union (ITU) International Telecommunications Union (ITU) –United Nations agency –Members are governments –ITU-T (replaced CCITT) drives telecommunications standardization process ITU-T organized as 14 study groups organized as 14 study groups 4-year cycle/study period for standards (but changing) 4-year cycle/study period for standards (but changing)

8. Protocols, Internetworking & the Internet 8 Standards/Standards Bodies Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, Inc (IEEE) Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, Inc (IEEE)IEEE –LAN Standards: IEEE 802 –Subsequently ISO 8802 –currently organized into seventeen working groups (e.g. IEEE 802.3) –IEEE 802.1 defines overall architecture and practices for LANs/MANs

9. Protocols, Internetworking & the Internet 9 The Need for a Protocol Architecture Procedures to exchange data between devices can be complex Procedures to exchange data between devices can be complex High degree of cooperation required between communicating systems High degree of cooperation required between communicating systems –destination addressing, path –readiness to receive –file formats, structure of data –how commands are sent/received and acknowledged –etc.

10. Protocols, Internetworking & the Internet 10 Example: File transfer Requires a data path to exist Requires a data path to exist Tasks: Tasks: –Activate data communication path –Source determines that destination is ready –File transfer app destination file management app is ready store file for user –File format conversion

11. Protocols, Internetworking & the Internet 11 Layered Protocol Architecture Modules arranged in a vertical stack Modules arranged in a vertical stack Each layer in stack: Each layer in stack: –Performs related functions –Relies on lower layer for more primitive functions –Provides services to next higher layer –Communicates with corresponding peer layer of neighboring system using a protocol

12. Protocols, Internetworking & the Internet 12 Key Features of a Protocol Set of rules or conventions to exchange blocks of formatted data Set of rules or conventions to exchange blocks of formatted data Syntax: data format Syntax: data format Semantics: control information (coordination, error handling) Semantics: control information (coordination, error handling) Timing: order, speed matching, sequencing Timing: order, speed matching, sequencing Actions: what happens when an event occurs Actions: what happens when an event occurs

14. Protocols, Internetworking & the Internet 14 OSI – TCP/IP Protocol Stacks

15. Protocols, Internetworking & the Internet 15 TCP and UDP TCP: TCP: –connection-oriented, handshake required –reliable packet delivery in sequence UDP: UDP: –connectionless (datagram), no handshake –unreliable packet delivery –packets may arrive out of sequence or duplicated

19. Protocols, Internetworking & the Internet 19 Operation of TCP and IP IP implemented in end systems and routers, relaying data between hosts IP implemented in end systems and routers, relaying data between hosts TCP implemented for end-to-end data transfer only in end systems*, assuring reliable delivery of blocks of data TCP implemented for end-to-end data transfer only in end systems*, assuring reliable delivery of blocks of data Each host on sub-network has a unique IP address Each host on sub-network has a unique IP address Each process on each host has a unique TCP port number Each process on each host has a unique TCP port number * Except when?
