Overview of Network Models


Networks

A network is a set of devices (often referred to as nodes)


connected by communication links.

A node can be a computer, printer, or any other device capable


of sending and/or receiving data generated by other nodes on
the network.
A link can be a cable, air, optical fiber, or any medium which
can transport a signal carrying information.

2
Computer Network Frameworks

There are some well defined frameworks (i.e., OSI and


TCP/IP) to design computer networks so that communication
between various devices (of any type) can be done.

OSI Model: It is a layered framework which is composed of


seven ordered layers.

Each layer is part of a process, which moves information


across a network from one system to another.

Interaction between layers in OSI model

5
An exchange using OSI model

6
Physical layer

It is responsible for movement of individual bits from one


node to the next node.

7
Data Link layer

The data link layer is responsible for moving frames from one
hop (node) to the next.

8
Hop-to-hop delivery

9
Network layer

The network layer is responsible for the


delivery of individual packets from the source host to the
destination host.

10
Source-to-destination delivery

11
Transport layer

The transport layer is responsible for the delivery


of a message from one process to another.

12
Reliable process-to-process delivery of a message

13
Session layer

The session layer is responsible for dialog


control and synchronization.

14
Presentation layer

The presentation layer is responsible for translation,


compression, and encryption.

15
Application layer

It is responsible for providing services to the user.

16
Summary of layers

17
TCP/IP Protocol Suite

It was developed prior to the OSI model and consists only five
layers.

The layers in the TCP/IP protocol suite do not exactly match


those in the OSI model.

The original TCP/IP protocol suite was defined as having four


layers: host-to-network, internet, transport, and application.

However, when TCP/IP is compared to OSI, we can say that


the TCP/IP protocol suite is made of five layers: physical, data
link, network, transport, and application.
18
TCP/IP and OSI model

19
Physical and Data Link Layers

At this layer, TCP/IP does not define any specific protocol. It


supports all the standard protocols.

A network in a TCP/IP internetwork can be a LAN or WAN.

20
Network Layer

Network layer is responsible for creating a connection between the source


computer and destination computer.
NL is responsible for host-to-host connection and also responsible to
control routers for choosing best routing strategy.
NL in the Internet includes a main protocol called Internet Protocol (IP)
which defines format of packet (called datagram).
IP also perform the routing by passing each datagram through routers
unless it reaches the destination.

NL also includes uni-cast and multi-cast routing protocols


• A routing protocol does not take part in routing (That is the
responsibility if IP)
• It simply creates forwarding tables for routers to help them in
routing

21
IP

It is an unreliable and connectionless protocol.


• No flow control
• No error control
• No congestion control
If any of these services are required by Application, it should
rely on transport layer protocol

22
Axillary Protocols which help IP at NL

At Network layer, Some Auxiliary protocols help IP in its


work:
• ICMP
• IGMP
• RARP
• ARP.

23
ICMP, IGMP and RARP

Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP)


• A mechanism used by host and gateways to send notification of
datagram problems back to the sender.
• It sends query and error reporting messages.
Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP)
• Used to facilitate the simultaneous transmission of a message to a
group of recipients
• It helps IP in multitasking
Reverse Address Resolution Protocol (RARP)
• Protocol allows a host to discover its internet address when it
knows its physical address.
• It is used when computer is connected to a network for first time.

24
ARP

Used to associate the logical address with physical address


(link-layer address to a host or a router when network layers
address is given).

Each device on the network is identified by physical or station


address, usually imprinted on the network interface card
(NIC).

ARP is used to find the physical address of the node when its
internet address is known.

25
Transport Layer

Logical connection at Transport Layer is end-to-end

It performs the following service:


• To get a message from application program running on
source host
• Deliver it to corresponding application program at
destination host

26
Transport Layer

Responsible for delivery of message from a process to another


process
• TCP (Transmission control Protocol)
• UDP (User Datagram Protocol)

27
TCP

TCP is a connection oriented protocol


It first establishes a connection is established between both the ends (source
and destination host) before data transmission.
At the sending end TCP divides a stream of data into smaller units called
segments.
Each segment includes a sequence number for reordering after receipt,
together with acknowledgment no. for the segments received.
At the receiving end, TCP collects each datagram as it comes in and
reorder the transmission based on sequence no.
TCP provides:
• flow control
• error control
• congestion control

28
UDP

UDP is a connection-less protocol


• Transmits user datagram without first creating a logical
connection
• Each datagram from a user is an independent entity
Does not provide:
• flow control
• error control
• congestion control
Its is a simple protocol which is attractive to an application
program which needs to send short messages and cannot
afford the retransmission of packets involved in TCP if a
packets is corrupted and lost.

29
SCTP

Stream Control Transmission Protocol


• provides support for newer applications such as voice
over the internet.
• It combines the best features of UDP & TCP protocol.

30
Application Layer
An application is a program running on a computer (which is also termed as a
process)
Logical connection is end-to-end
• Two applications exchange messages between each other via a virtual
bridge between the two.
• Physically, communication is performed via all the layers.
To communicate, one process sends a request message to other process and gets a
reply message
A number of protocols are predefined but a user can also do the same provided
they provide it at both ends.
Some of the protocols are:
• HTTP (Hyper Text Markup Language)
• SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol)
• FTP (File Transfer Protocol)
• TELNET (TErminaLNETwork)
• SSH (Secure SHell)
• SNMP (Simple Network Managemnet Protocol)
