Introduction 1-24
The network core
 mesh of interconnected
routers
 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

Introduction 1-25
Host: sends packets of data
host sending function:
takes application message
breaks into smaller chunks, two packets,
known as packets, of length L L bits each
bits
transmits packet into access
network at transmission rate R 2 1
 link transmission rate, R: link transmission rate
aka link capacity, aka host
link bandwidth

packet time needed to L (bits)

transmission = transmit L-bit =
delay packet into link R (bits/sec)
1-26
Packet-switching: store-and-forward

L bits

R bps R bps

 takes L/R seconds to transmit one-hop numerical

(push out) L-bit packet into example:
link at R bps
 L = 7.5 Mbits
 store and forward: entire
 R = 1.5 Mbps
packet must arrive at router
before it can be transmitted  one-hop transmission
on next link delay = 5 sec
 end-end delay = 2L/R (assuming
zero propagation delay) more on delay shortly …
Introduction 1-27
Packet Switching: queueing delay, loss

R = 100 Mb/s C

D
R = 1.5 Mb/s

queue of packets E
waiting for output link

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

Introduction 1-28
 Two key network-core
functions
routing: determines source- forwarding: move packets
destination route taken by from router’s input to
packets appropriate router output
 routing algorithms

Network Layer 4-29
Alternative core: circuit switching
end-end resources allocated to,
reserved for “ call” between
source & dest:
 In diagram, each link has four
circuits.
 call gets 2nd circuit in top link and
1st circuit in right link.
 dedicated resources: no sharing
 circuit-like (guaranteed)
performance
 circuit segment idle if not used by
call (no sharing)
 Commonly used in traditional
telephone networks

Introduction 1-31
Packet switching versus circuit switching
packet switching allows more users to use network!

example:
 1 Mb/s link
N

…..
 each user:
users
• 100 kb/s when “ active”
• active 10% of time 1 Mbps link

 circuit-switching:
 10 users
 packet switching: Q: how did we get value 0.0004?
 with 35 users, probability >
10 active at same time is less Q: what happens if > 35 users ?
than .0004 *

* Check out the online interactive exercises for more examples Introduction 1-32
Packet switching versus circuit switching

 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)

Introduction 1-33
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
 Let’s take a stepwise approach to describe current Internet
structure

capacity
 packets queue, wait for turn

 relying on services provided by layer below

Introduction 1-59

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

 how we can defend networks against attacks
 how to design architectures that are immune to attacks

security in mind

 security considerations in all layers!

 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

Introduction 1-65
Bad guys: attack server, network infrastructure
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
target

Introduction 1-66
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 C

src:B dest:A payload

B
 wireshark software used for end-of-chapter labs is a
(free) packet-sniffer
Introduction 1-67
Bad guys can use fake addresses
IP spoofing: send packet with false source address
A C

src:B dest:A payload

… lots more on security (throughout, Chapter 8)

Introduction 1-68
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

Introduction 1-69
Internet history
1961-1972: Early packet-switching principles
 1961: Kleinrock -  1972:
queueing theory shows  ARPAnet public demo
effectiveness of packet-  NCP (Network Control
switching Protocol) first host-host
 1964: Baran - packet- protocol
switching in military nets  first e-mail program
 1967: ARPAnet  ARPAnet has 15 nodes
conceived by Advanced
Research Projects
Agency
 1969: first ARPAnet
node operational

Introduction 1-70
Internet history
1972-1980: Internetworking, new and proprietary nets
 1970: ALOHAnet satellite
network in Hawaii Cerf and Kahn’s
 1974: Cerf and Kahn - internetworking principles:
architecture for interconnecting  minimalism, autonomy - no
networks internal changes required to
 1976: Ethernet at Xerox PARC interconnect networks
 best effort service model
 late70’s: proprietary
 stateless routers
architectures: DECnet, SNA,
XNA  decentralized control
 late 70’s: switching fixed length define today’s Internet
packets (ATM precursor) architecture
 1979: ARPAnet has 200 nodes

Introduction 1-71
Internet history
1980-1990: new protocols, a proliferation of networks
 1983: deployment of  new national networks:
TCP/IP Csnet, BITnet, NSFnet,
 1982: smtp e-mail Minitel
protocol defined  100,000 hosts connected
 1983: DNS defined for to confederation of
name-to-IP-address networks
translation
 1985: ftp protocol defined
 1988: TCP congestion
control

Introduction 1-72
Internet history
1990, 2000’s: commercialization, the Web, new apps
 early 1990’s: ARPAnet late 1990’s – 2000’s:
decommissioned  more killer apps: instant
 1991: NSF lifts restrictions on messaging, P2P file sharing
commercial use of NSFnet  network security to
(decommissioned, 1995) forefront
 early 1990s: Web  est. 50 million host, 100
 hypertext [Bush 1945, Nelson million+ users
1960’s]  backbone links running at
 HTML, HTTP: Berners-Lee Gbps
 1994: Mosaic, later Netscape
 late 1990’s:
commercialization of the Web

Introduction 1-73
Internet history
2005-present
 ~750 million hosts
 Smartphones and tablets
 Aggressive deployment of broadband access
 Increasing ubiquity of high-speed wireless access
 Emergence of online social networks:
 Facebook: soon one billion users
 Service providers (Google, Microsoft) create their own
networks
 Bypass Internet, providing “ instantaneous” access to
search, emai, etc.
 E-commerce, universities, enterprises running their services
in “ cloud” (eg, Amazon EC2)

Introduction 1-74
Introduction: summary
covered a “ton” of material! you now have:
 Internet overview  context, overview, “ feel”
 what’s a protocol? of networking
 network edge, core, access  more depth, detail to
network follow!
 packet-switching versus
circuit-switching
 Internet structure
 performance: loss, delay,
throughput
 layering, service models
 security
 history
