Network



A network is
a group of computers and peripherals
connected together by some medium
The connection can be
direct (through a cable) or
indirect (through a modem)
The different devices on the network
communicate with each other
through a predefined set of rules (protocol)

Network node (computer, printers, routers)
Computers in network
can be used as
work stations or servers or both
PC computers need
NIC (Network Interface Card)
to be able to be part of
LAN (Local Area Network)
Different standards, different network cards!
(Ethernet, Token Ring, ARC net)

Connecting many disparate physical networks
and make them function
as a coordinate unit
Internet technology hides
the details of network hardware and
permits computers to communicate
independent of their physical network connection

Internet is network of all networks
Interconnected computer networks
that communicate,
usually via TCP/IP
Internet and internet
Set of application programs
that use the network to carry out
useful communication tasks (user’s point of view)
No one owns the Internet!
Internet architecture


How are networks interconnected
to form a internet work?
Computers that interconnect two networks
and pass packets from one to the other
are called internet gateways or internet routers

Internet Addresses





Globally accepted method of identifying computers
Each host on a TCP/IP internet is assigned
a unique 32-bit address that is used
in all communication with that host
Must not be confused with physical addresses!
Each address is a pair (netid, hostid),
where netid identifies a network,
and hostid identifies a host on that network
In practice, each IP address must have
one of the first three forms shown
in the picture that follows

Internet Addresses

The IP address is expressed
in dotted decimal notation (DDN)
by taking the 32 binary bits and
forming 4 groups of 8 bits, each separated by a dot
- 10.4.8.2 is a class A address
- 10 is the DDN assigned network number
- .4.8 are (possibly) user assigned subnet numbers
- .2 is the user assigned host number
- 172.16.9.190 is a class B address
- 172.16 is the DDN assigned network number
- .9 is the user assigned subnet number
- .190 is the user assigned host number
Internet Addresses

Host: any attached device on a subnet,
including PC’s, mainframes and routers
Most hosts are connected to only one network,
and they have a single IP address
Routers are connected to more than one network
and they can have multiple IP addresses
Problem: IP type of addressing defines connection,
not host!
Problem: what when an organization
which has a class C address
finds that they (.org) need to upgrade to class B
DNS – The Domain Name System





Converts symbolic node name to IP address
Uses distributed database
Network Information Center (NIC) maintains names
and network gateway addresses
Name Resolver on each network
tries to complete address from own database
Examines Name Server for full NIC database
if unsuccessful resolution
ARP - Address Resolution Protocol




Allows host to find
the physical address of a target host
on the same physical network,
given only the target’s IP address
It does this by sending out an ARP broadcast packet
containing both the source
and destination IP address
The broadcast is media-dependant
For Ethernet LANs the broadcast address
is a packet whose destination address bits are all `1'
ARP - Address Resolution Protocol


All stations on the LAN receive this address,
but only one host is able to recognize
its own IP address
It replies, thereby giving the original host
its physical address.

one without access to secondary storage,
determines its IP address at system startup?

Defines unreliable, connectionless delivery
mechanism
IP provides three important definitions:
- Defines the basic unit of data transfer
used throughout a TCP/IP internet
- Performs routing function,
choosing a path over which data will be sent
- Includes a set of rules that embody
the idea of unreliable packet delivery
ICMP - Internet Control Message Protocol





Connectionless protocol
Provides the primary mechanism that application
programs use to send datagrams
to other application programs
Provides protocol ports used to
distinguish among multiple programs
executing on a single machine
Uses IP to transport a message
from one machine to another
Does not use acknowledgements to make sure
messages arrive
UDP message is called a user datagram






TCP is a communication protocol,
not a piece of software!
Provides reliable stream service
Positive acknowledgement with retransmission
Specifies the format of the data and
acknowledgements that two computers exchange
to achieve a reliable transfer
Specifies the procedures the computers use
to ensure that the data arrives correctly
Specifies how TCP software distinguishes
among multiple destinations on given machine
Specifies how communicating machines recover
from errors like lost or duplicated packets
TCP - Transmission Control Protocol






Specifies how two computers initiate
a TCP stream transfer and
how they agree when it is complete
Does not dictate the details of the interface
between an application program and TCP
Does not specify the exact application programs
to access these operations
Reason: flexibility
TCP uses the connection, not the protocol port,
as its fundamental abstraction
Connections are identified by a pair of endpoints
TCP - Transmission Control Protocol



TCP port number can be shared
by a multiple connection on the same machine
The basic unit of transfer used by TCP is a segment
Segments are used
to pass control information or data

A simple positive acknowledgement protocol
wastes a substantial amount of network bandwidth
Delays sending a new packet until it receives
an acknowledgement for the previous packet

Telnet – remote login protocol
Allows user at one site
to establish a TCP connection
to a login server at another site,
and then it passes keystrokes
from the user’s terminal
directly to the remote machine
as if they had been typed at
a terminal on the remote machine
 Carries output from the remote machine
back to the user’s terminal

Defines a network virtual terminal (NVT)
Includes a mechanism that allows
the client and server to negotiate options
Treats both ends of the connection symmetrically


Manages files across machines
without remote Telnet session
Transfers files, manages directories, accesses e-mail
Does not enable access
to remote machine for program execution
Uses two channels
for simultaneous transfer
of commands and data
Conducts all transfers in foreground
Does not use queues or spoolers
so you are watching the transfer process in real time

TFTP – Trivial File Transfer Protocol




Does not log on to remote machine
Uses UDP connectionless transport
TFTP transfer identifiers (TID’s)
set ends of connection
Support basic error messages
Any kind of error can result in transfer failure
Uses to boot diskless terminals and load applications
Small executable size and memory requirements
Cannot execute FTP until loaded with OS
Lax access regulations pose security risks
Electronic Mail






The most widely used application service
Differs fundamentally from other uses of network
Usually timeout and retransmission
if no acknowledgement
Sender don’t want to wait for
the remote machine to become available
before continuing work!
User don't want to have transfer abort merely
because communication with the remote machine
becomes temporary unavailable!

Standard for the exchange of mail
between machines
Focuses specifically on
how the underlying mail delivery system
passes messages across a link
from one machine to another
Messages transferred as 7-bit ASCII
Uses spools or queues

how the mail system accepts mail from a user
or how the user interface presents the user
with incoming mail
SMTP - Simple Mail Transfer Protocol


Does not specify
how mail is stored or
how frequently the mail system
attempts to send messages
Mail command identifies sender and provides
message information
Response is acknowledgment with identification of
recipient
