Introduction 1-4
What’s a protocol?
human protocols: network protocols:
 “what’s the time?”  machines rather than
 “I have a question” humans
 introductions  all communication
activity in Internet
… specific msgs sent governed by protocols
… specific actions taken protocols define format,
when msgs received, order of msgs sent and
or other events received among network
entities, and actions
taken on msg
transmission, receipt
Introduction 1-5

Introduction 1-6
Protocol “Layers”
Networks are complex!
 many “pieces”:
 hosts Question:
 routers Is there any hope of
 links of various organizing structure of
media network?
 applications
 protocols Or at least our discussion
 hardware, of networks?
software

Introduction 1-7
Protocol Suite

 The complexity of the communication task is


reduced by using multiple protocol layers:
• Each protocol is implemented independently
• Each protocol is responsible for a specific subtask
• Protocols are grouped in a hierarchy
 A structured set of protocols is called a
communications architecture or protocol suite

Layers and Services
 Service provided by TCP to HTTP:
 reliable transmission of data over a logical connection
 Service provided by IP to TCP:
 unreliable transmission of IP datagrams across an IP
network
 Service provided by Ethernet to IP:
 transmission of a frame across an Ethernet segment

 Other services:
 DNS: translation between domain names and IP addresses
 ARP: Translation between IP addresses and MAC addresses

Introduction 1-15
To Summarize: Why layering?
Dealing with complex systems:
 explicit structure allows identification,
relationship of complex system’s pieces
 layered reference model for discussion
 modularization eases maintenance, updating of
system
 change of implementation of layer’s service
transparent to rest of system
 e.g., change in gate procedure doesn’t affect
rest of system
 layering considered harmful?

Introduction 1-16
A closer look at network structure
 network edge:
applications and
hosts
 access networks,
physical media:
wired, wireless
communication links
 network core:
 interconnected
routers
 network of
networks Introduction 1-17
The network edge
 end systems (hosts):
 run application programs
 e.g. Web, email
 at “edge of network” peer-peer

 client/server model
 client host requests, receives
service from always-on server
client/server
 e.g. Web browser/server;
email client/server
 peer-peer model:
 minimal (or no) use of
dedicated servers
 e.g. Skype, BitTorrent

Introduction 1-18
Network edge: reliable data transfer
service
Goal: data transfer TCP service [RFC 793]
between end systems  reliable, in-order byte-
 handshaking: setup stream data transfer
(prepare for) data  loss: acknowledgements
transfer ahead of time and retransmissions
 Hello, hello back human  flow control:
protocol  sender won’t overwhelm
 set up “state” in two receiver
communicating hosts
 congestion control:
 TCP - Transmission  senders “slow down sending
Control Protocol rate” when network
 Internet’s reliable data congested
transfer service
Introduction 1-19
Network edge: best effort (unreliable)
data transfer service
Goal: data transfer App’s using TCP:
between end systems  HTTP (Web), FTP (file
 same as before! transfer), Telnet
 UDP - User Datagram (remote login), SMTP
Protocol [RFC 768]: (email)
 connectionless
 unreliable data App’s using UDP:
transfer  streaming media,
 no flow control teleconferencing, DNS,
 no congestion control Internet telephony

Introduction 1-20
The Network Core
 mesh of interconnected
routers
 the fundamental
question: how is data
transferred through net?
 circuit switching:
dedicated circuit per
call: telephone net
 packet-switching: data
sent thru net in
discrete “chunks”

Introduction 1-21
Network Core: Circuit Switching

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

Introduction 1-22
Network Core: Circuit Switching
network resources  dividing link bandwidth
(e.g., bandwidth) into “pieces”
divided into “pieces”  frequency division
 pieces allocated to calls  time division
 resource piece idle if
not used by owning call
(no sharing)

Introduction 1-23
Circuit Switching: FDM and TDM

Introduction 1-24
Numerical example
 How long does it take to send a file of
640,000 bits from host A to host B over a
circuit-switched network?
 All links are 1.536 Mbps
 Each link uses TDM with 24 slots/sec
 500 msec to establish end-to-end circuit

Total Delay = 500 msec+ 640Kbits/(1.536Mbps/24)


= 10.5 sec

Introduction 1-25
Network Core: Packet Switching
each end-end data stream resource contention:
divided into packets  aggregate resource
 user A, B packets share demand can exceed
network resources amount available
 each packet uses full link  congestion: packets
bandwidth queue, wait for link use
 resources used as needed  store and forward:
packets move one hop
at a time
Bandwidth division into “pieces”  Node receives complete
Dedicated allocation packet before forwarding
Resource reservation

Introduction 1-26
Packet Switching: Statistical Multiplexing
100 Mb/s
A Ethernet statistical multiplexing C

1.5 Mb/s
B
queue of packets
waiting for output
link

D E

Sequence of A & B packets does not have fixed pattern,


bandwidth shared on demand  statistical multiplexing.
TDM: each host gets same slot in revolving TDM frame.
Introduction 1-27
Packet switching versus circuit switching
Packet switching allows more users to use network!
 1 Mb/s link
 each user:
 100 kb/s when “active”
 active 10% of time
N users
 circuit-switching: 1 Mbps link
 10 users
 packet switching:
 with 35 users,
probability > 10 active
at same time is less
than .0004
Introduction 1-28
Packet switching versus circuit switching
Is packet switching always a winner?
 great for bursty data
 resource sharing
 simpler, no call setup
 excessive congestion: 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)

Introduction 1-29
Packet-switching: store-and-forward
L
R R R

 takes L/R seconds to Example:


transmit (push out)  L = 7.5 Mbits
packet of L bits on to  R = 1.5 Mbps
link at R bps
 transmission delay = 15
 store and forward: sec
entire packet must
arrive at router before
it can be transmitted
on next link
 delay = 3L/R (assuming
zero propagation delay)
Introduction 1-30
How do loss and delay occur?
packets queue in router buffers
 packet arrival rate to link exceeds output link
capacity
 packets queue, wait for turn

packet being transmitted (delay)

B
packets queueing (delay)
free (available) buffers: arriving packets
dropped (loss) if no free buffers
Introduction 1-31
Four sources of packet delay
 1. nodal processing:  2. queueing
 check bit errors  time waiting at output

 R=link bandwidth (bps)  d = length of physical link
 L=packet length (bits)  s = propagation speed in
 time to send bits into medium (~2x108 m/sec)

ten-car toll toll
caravan booth booth
 cars “propagate” at  Time to “push” entire
100 km/hr caravan through toll
 toll booth takes 12 sec to booth onto highway =
service car (transmission 12*10 = 120 sec
time)  Time for last car to
 car~bit; caravan ~ packet propagate from 1st to
2nd toll both:
 Q: How long until caravan
100km/(100km/hr)= 1 hr
is lined up before 2nd toll
booth?  A: 62 minutes

Introduction 1-34
Caravan analogy
100 km 100 km
ten-car toll toll
caravan booth booth
 Yes! After 7 min, 1st car
 Cars now “propagate” at at 2nd booth and 3 cars
1000 km/hr still at 1st booth.
 Toll booth now takes 1  1st bit of packet can
min to service a car arrive at 2nd router
 Q: Will cars arrive to before packet is fully
2nd booth before all transmitted at 1st router!
cars serviced at 1st  See Ethernet applet at AWL
booth? Web site

Introduction 1-35
Nodal delay
d nodal = d proc + d queue + d trans + d prop

 dproc = processing delay


 typically a few microsecs or less
 dqueue = queuing delay
 depends on congestion
 dtrans = transmission delay
 = L/R, significant for low-speed links
 dprop = propagation delay
 a few microsecs to hundreds of msecs

Introduction 1-36
Queueing delay

 R=link bandwidth (bps)


 L=packet length (bits)
 a=average packet
arrival rate

traffic intensity = La/R

 La/R ~ 0: average queueing delay small


 La/R -> 1: delays become large
 La/R > 1: more “work” arriving than can be
serviced, average delay infinite!
Introduction 1-37
Packet loss
 queue (aka buffer) preceding link in buffer has
finite capacity
 packet arriving to full queue dropped (aka lost)
 lost packet may be retransmitted by previous
node, by source end system, or not at all
buffer
(waiting area) packet being transmitted
A

B
packet arriving to
full buffer is lost

Internet Infrastructure
 Location where a network (ISP, corporate
network, or regional network) gets access
to the Internet is called a Point-of-
Presence (POP).
 Locations (Tier-1 or Tier-2) networks are
connected for the purpose of exchanging
traffic are called peering points.
 Public peering: Traffic is swapped in a specific
location, called Internet exchange points (IXPs)
