Introduction 1-3
What’s a protocol?
human protocols:



“what’s the time?”
“I have a question”
introductions
… specific msgs sent
… specific actions taken
when msgs received, or
other events
network protocols:


machines rather than
humans
all communication activity
in Internet governed by
protocols
protocols define format, order
of msgs sent and received
among network entities,
and actions taken on msg
transmission, receipt
Introduction 1-4
What’s a protocol?
a human protocol and a computer network protocol:
Hi

Introduction 1-5
A closer look at network structure:

network edge:




mobile network
hosts: clients and servers
servers often in data
centers
access networks, physical
media: wired, wireless
communication links
global ISP
home
network
regional ISP
network core:
 interconnected routers
 network of networks
institutional
network
Introduction 1-6
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
Introduction 1-7
Protocol “layers”
Networks are complex,
with many “pieces”:
 hosts
 routers
 links of various
media
 applications
 protocols
 hardware,
software
Question:
is there any hope of
organizing structure of
network?
…. or at least our
discussion of networks?
Introduction 1-8

layers: each layer implements a service
 via its own internal-layer actions
 relying on services provided by layer below
Introduction 1-10
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 disadvantages?
Introduction 1-11
Internet protocol stack

application: supporting network
applications
 FTP, SMTP, HTTP

transport: process-process data
transfer
 TCP, UDP

network: routing of datagrams
from source to destination
 IP, routing protocols

link: data transfer between
neighboring network elements
application
transport
network
link
physical
 Ethernet, 802.111 (WiFi), PPP

physical: bits “on the wire”
Introduction 1-12
ISO/OSI reference model
presentation: allow applications
to interpret meaning of data,
e.g., encryption, compression,
machine-specific conventions
 session: synchronization,
checkpointing, recovery of data
exchange
 Internet stack “missing” these
layers!

 these services, if needed, must be
implemented in application

Application Layer 2-15
Some network apps







e-mail
web
text messaging
remote login
P2P file sharing
multi-user network games
streaming stored video
(YouTube, Hulu, Netflix)






voice over IP (e.g., Skype)
real-time video
conferencing
social networking
search
…
…
Application Layer 2-16
Creating a network app
write programs that:
 run on (different) end systems
 communicate over network
 e.g., web server software
communicates with browser
software
no need to write software for
network-core devices
 network-core devices do not
run user applications
 applications on end systems
allows for rapid app
development, propagation

Application architectures
possible structure of applications:
 client-server
 peer-to-peer (P2P)
Application Layer 2-18
Client-server architecture
server:



always-on host
permanent IP address
data centers for scaling
clients:

client/server



communicate with server
may be intermittently
connected
may have dynamic IP
addresses
do not communicate directly
with each other
Application Layer 2-19
P2P architecture




no always-on server
arbitrary end systems
directly communicate
peers request service from
other peers, provide service
in return to other peers
 self scalability – new
peers bring new service
capacity, as well as new
service demands
peers are intermittently
connected and change IP
addresses
 complex management
peer-peer
Application Layer 2-20
Processes communicating
process: program running
within a host


within same host, two
processes communicate
using inter-process
communication (defined by
OS)
processes in different hosts
communicate by exchanging
messages
clients, servers
client process: process that
initiates communication
server process: process that
waits to be contacted

aside: applications with P2P
architectures have client
processes & server
processes
Application Layer 2-21
Sockets


process sends/receives messages to/from its socket
socket analogous to door
 sending process shoves message out door
 sending process relies on transport infrastructure on
other side of door to deliver message to socket at
receiving process

Addressing processes



to receive messages,
process must have identifier
host device has unique 32bit IP address
Q: does IP address of host
on which process runs
suffice for identifying the
process?
 A: no, many processes
can be running on same
host


identifier includes both IP
address and port numbers
associated with process on
host.
example port numbers:
 HTTP server: 80
 mail server: 25

to send HTTP message to
gaia.cs.umass.edu web
server:
 IP address: 128.119.245.12
 port number: 80
Application Layer 2-23
App-layer protocol defines




types of messages
exchanged,
 e.g., request, response
message syntax:
 what fields in messages
& how fields are
delineated
message semantics
 meaning of information
in fields
rules for when and how
processes send & respond
to messages
open protocols:
 defined in RFCs
 allows for interoperability
 e.g., HTTP, SMTP
proprietary protocols:
 e.g., Skype
Application Layer 2-24
What transport service does an app need?
data integrity
 some apps (e.g., file transfer,
web transactions) require
100% reliable data transfer
 other apps (e.g., audio) can
tolerate some loss
timing
 some apps (e.g., Internet
telephony, interactive
games) require low delay
to be “effective”
throughput
 some apps (e.g.,
multimedia) require
minimum amount of
throughput to be
“effective”
 other apps (“elastic apps”)
make use of whatever
throughput they get
security
 encryption, data integrity,
…

Internet transport protocols services
TCP service:
UDP service:






reliable transport between
sending and receiving
process
flow control: sender won’t
overwhelm receiver
congestion control: throttle
sender when network
overloaded
does not provide: timing,
minimum throughput
guarantee, security
connection-oriented: setup
required between client and
server processes

unreliable data transfer
between sending and
receiving process
does not provide:
reliability, flow control,
congestion control,
timing, throughput
guarantee, security,
orconnection setup,

Transport Layer 3-29
Transport services and protocols



provide logical communication
between app processes
running on different hosts
transport protocols run in
end systems
 send side: breaks app
messages into segments,
passes to network layer
 rcv side: reassembles
segments into messages,
passes to app layer
more than one transport
protocol available to apps
 Internet: TCP and UDP

Transport Layer 3-30
Transport vs. network layer
network layer: logical
communication
between hosts
 transport layer:
logical
communication
between processes

 relies on, enhances,
network layer
services
household analogy:
12 kids in Ann’s house sending
letters to 12 kids in Bill’s
house:
 hosts = houses
 processes = kids
 app messages = letters in
envelopes
 transport protocol = Ann
and Bill who demux to inhouse siblings
 network-layer protocol =
postal service
Transport Layer 3-31
Multiplexing/demultiplexing
multiplexing at sender:
handle data from multiple
sockets, add transport header
(later used for demultiplexing)
demultiplexing at receiver:
use header info to deliver
received segments to correct
socket

Transport Layer 3-32
How demultiplexing works

host receives IP datagrams
 each datagram has source IP
address, destination IP
address
 each datagram carries one
transport-layer segment
 each segment has source,
destination port number

host uses IP addresses &
port numbers to direct
segment to appropriate
socket
32 bits
source port #
dest port #
other header fields
application
data
(payload)
TCP/UDP segment format
Transport Layer 3-33
Connectionless demultiplexing

recall: created socket has
host-local port #:

DatagramSocket mySocket1
= new DatagramSocket(12534);

when host receives UDP
segment:
 checks destination port #
in segment
 directs UDP segment to
socket with that port #
recall: when creating
datagram to send into
UDP socket, must specify
 destination IP address
 destination port #
IP datagrams with same
dest. port #, but different
source IP addresses
and/or source port
numbers will be directed
to same socket at dest
Transport Layer 3-34

mySocket2 = new

(9157);

Connection-oriented demux

TCP socket identified
by 4-tuple:





source IP address
source port number
dest IP address
dest port number
demux: receiver uses
all four values to direct
segment to appropriate
socket

server host may support
many simultaneous TCP
sockets:
 each socket identified by
its own 4-tuple

web servers have
different sockets for
each connecting client
