What is a Computer Network?

• Computer network
connects two or
more autonomous
computers.

• Example: Internet

mobile network
• Infrastructure that
provides services to global ISP

applications:
– Web, VoIP, email, games, e-
home
commerce, social nets, … network

but how these systems and network apps


communicate with each other?
Lecture 01: Introduction

Protocols
• For proper communication, entities in different
systems must speak the same language
– there must be mutually acceptable conventions and
rules about the content, timing and underlying
mechanisms

• Those conventions and associated rules are


referred as “PROTOCOLS”

Lecture 01: Introduction

What’s a protocol?
a human protocol and a computer network protocol:

Hi TCP connection
request
Hi TCP connection
response

Q: other human protocols?


Introduction 1-15
Lecture 01: Introduction

What’s a protocol?

human network protocols:


protocols: • machines rather than
humans
• “what’s the time?”
• all communication
• “I have a question” activity in Internet
• introductions governed by protocols

… specific msgs sent


… specific actions
taken when msgs
received, or other
events
Introduction 1-16
