A note on the use of these ppt slides:
Were making these slides freely available to all (faculty, students, readers).
Theyre in PowerPoint form so you see the animations; and can add, modify,
and delete slides (including this one) and slide content to suit your needs.
They obviously represent a lot of work on our part. In return for use, we only
ask the following:
If you use these slides (e.g., in a class) that you mention their source
(after all, wed like people to use our book!)
If you post any slides on a www site, that you note that they are adapted

packet-switching: hosts
break application-layer
messages into packets
forward packets from
one router to the next,
across links on path
from source to
destination
each packet transmitted
at full link capacity
The network core
1-24
Introduction
Packet-switching: store-and-
forward
takes L/R seconds to
transmit (push out) L-bit
packet into link at R bps
store and forward: entire
packet must arrive at
router before it can be
transmitted on next link
one-hop numerical
example:
L = 7.5 Mbits
R = 1.5 Mbps
one-hop transmission
delay = 5 sec

queuing and loss:
If arrival rate (in bits) to link exceeds transmission rate
of link for a period of time:
packets will queue, wait to be transmitted on link
packets can be dropped (lost) if memory (buffer) fills
up
Network Layer 4-27
Two key network-core
functions
forwarding: move packets
from routers input to
appropriate router output
routing: determines source-

packets

Introduction
Alternative core: circuit switching
end-end resources
allocated to, reserved for
call between source &
dest:
In diagram, each link has
four circuits.
call gets 2
nd
circuit in top
link and 1
st
circuit in right
link.
dedicated resources: no
sharing
circuit-like (guaranteed)
performance
circuit segment idle if not
used by call (no sharing)

Introduction
Packet switching versus circuit

example:

each user:
100 kb/s when active
active 10% of time
circuit-switching:
10 users
packet switching:
with 35 users, probability >
10 active at same time is
less than .0004 *
packet switching allows more users to use network!

Q: how did we get value 0.0004?

* Check out the online interactive exercises for more examples
Introduction
great for bursty data
resource sharing
simpler, no call setup
excessive congestion possible: packet delay and loss
protocols needed for reliable data transfer,
congestion control
Q: How to provide circuit-like behavior?
bandwidth guarantees needed for audio/video apps
still an unsolved problem (chapter 7)
is packet switching a slam dunk winner?
Q: human analogies of reserved resources (circuit
switching) versus on-demand allocation (packet-
switching)?
Packet switching versus circuit
switching

Internet structure: network of networks
End systems connect to Internet via access ISPs
(Internet Service Providers)
Residential, company and university ISPs
Access ISPs in turn must be interconnected.
So that any two hosts can send packets to each other
Resulting network of networks is very complex
Evolution was driven by economics and national
policies
Lets take a stepwise approach to describe current
Internet structure
Internet structure: network of networks
Question: given millions of access ISPs, how to connect
them together?

Layering of airline functionality
layers: each layer implements a service
via its own internal-layer actions
relying on services provided by layer
below
1-58
Introduction
Why layering?
dealing with complex systems:
explicit structure allows identification,
relationship of complex systems pieces
layered reference model for discussion
modularization eases maintenance, updating
of system
change of implementation of layers service
transparent to rest of system
e.g., change in gate procedure doesnt affect rest
of system
layering considered harmful?

Introduction
Internet protocol stack
application: supporting network
applications
FTP, SMTP, HTTP
transport: process-process data
transfer
TCP, UDP
network: routing of datagrams
from source to destination
IP, routing protocols
link: data transfer between
neighboring network elements
Ethernet, 802.111 (WiFi), PPP
physical: bits on the wire
application
transport
network
link

Introduction
ISO/OSI reference model
presentation: allow
applications to interpret
meaning of data, e.g.,
encryption, compression,
machine-specific
conventions
session: synchronization,
checkpointing, recovery of
data exchange
Internet stack missing
these layers!
these services, if needed, must
be implemented in application

Introduction
Chapter 1: roadmap
1.1 what is the Internet?
1.2 network edge
end systems, access networks, links
1.3 network core
packet switching, circuit switching, network
structure
1.4 delay, loss, throughput in networks
1.5 protocol layers, service models
1.6 networks under attack: security
1.7 history
1-63
Introduction
Network security
field of network security:
how bad guys can attack computer networks
how we can defend networks against attacks
how to design architectures that are immune to
attacks
Internet not originally designed with (much)
security in mind
original vision: a group of mutually trusting users
attached to a transparent network
Internet protocol designers playing catch-up
security considerations in all layers!
1-64
Introduction
Bad guys: put malware into hosts via
Internet
malware can get in host from:
virus: self-replicating infection by
receiving/executing object (e.g., e-mail
attachment)
worm: self-replicating infection by passively
receiving object that gets itself executed
spyware malware can record keystrokes,
web sites visited, upload info to collection site
infected host can be enrolled in botnet, used
for spam. DDoS attacks
1-65
Introduction
target
Denial of Service (DoS): attackers make
resources (server, bandwidth) unavailable to
legitimate traffic by overwhelming resource with
bogus traffic
1. select target
2. break into hosts around
the network (see
botnet)
3. send packets to target
from compromised hosts
Bad guys: attack server, network
infrastructure
1-66
Introduction
Bad guys can sniff packets
packet sniffing:
broadcast media (shared ethernet, wireless)
promiscuous network interface reads/records all
packets (e.g., including passwords!) passing by
A
B
C
src:B dest:A payload
wireshark software used for end-of-chapter labs is
a (free) packet-sniffer
1-67
Introduction
Bad guys can use fake
addresses
IP spoofing: send packet with false source
address
A
B
C
src:B dest:A payload

Introduction
Internet history
1961: Kleinrock -
queueing theory
shows effectiveness of
packet-switching
1964: Baran - packet-
switching in military
nets
1967: ARPAnet
conceived by
Advanced Research
Projects Agency
1969: first ARPAnet
node operational
1972:
ARPAnet public demo
NCP (Network Control
Protocol) first host-host
protocol
first e-mail program
ARPAnet has 15 nodes
1961-1972: Early packet-switching principles
1-70
Introduction
1970: ALOHAnet satellite
network in Hawaii
1974: Cerf and Kahn -
architecture for
interconnecting networks
1976: Ethernet at Xerox
PARC
late70s: proprietary
architectures: DECnet, SNA,
XNA
late 70s: switching fixed
length packets (ATM
precursor)
1979: ARPAnet has 200
nodes
Cerf and Kahns
internetworking
principles:
minimalism, autonomy -
no internal changes
required to interconnect
networks
best effort service model
stateless routers
decentralized control
define todays Internet
architecture
1972-1980: Internetworking, new and proprietary nets

own networks
Bypass Internet, providing instantaneous
access to search, emai, etc.
E-commerce, universities, enterprises running their
