Part A: Basic Concepts
Message organization and timing
Standards

Standards are rules of operation that are
followed by most or all vendors

Standards allow hardware and software
from different vendors to work together

Competition among vendors brings lower
prices and feature-rich products

Message Structure

Message is a long string of bits
– Show 32 bits or some other number per line
– Begins with Bit 0
– In this example,
• First line has bits 0 through 31
• Second line has bits 32 through 63

bits called octets
– In computer science, a group of eight bits is
called a byte
– Same meaning but different names

Message Structure

Header Fields
– Initial fields in a message
– Before the data field
– Source and destination address, error handling
information, etc.
– Like address and greeting in a written letter
Header Fields

Message Structure

Data Field
– The information to be delivered to the peer
process on the other system
– Usually far longer than the header and trailer
• Just as body of letter usually is far longer
than the opening and closing

Protocols

A protocol is a standard for communication
between peer processes, that is, processes
at the same layer, but on different
machines
– E.g., HTTP: Browser and webserver application
programs are at the same layer but on different
machines
App

16
Protocols

A protocol is a standard for communication
between peer processes, that is, processes
at the same layer, but on different
machines
– TCP, IP, and PPP all have “protocol” as their
final “P;” they are all protocols
– TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) is the
protocol governing communication between
transport layer processes on two hosts

– HTTP message is the data field
– Adds TCP header fields shown earlier
– Transport process “encapsulates” HTTP request
within a TCP segment


Encapsulation is delivering a message in
the data field of another message
– TCP encapsulates HTTP request messages
– Can also encapsulate other types of messages

Data Link Layer Encapsulates IP Packet Within a
PPP Frame
– Data link layer messages are called frames
– Data PPP frame has IP packet in data field

25
Layer Cooperation on the Source Host

The data link layer process passes the PPP frame
to the physical layer process, which delivers it to
the physical layer process on the first router, one
bit at a time (no message at the physical layer)

Layer Cooperation on the Source Host

Encapsulation in Layering
– Whenever a process at Layer N (the
application, transport, internet, or data link
layer) creates a message,
– That Layer N process passes the message
down to the next-lower-layer process, the
process at layer N-1
– The N-1 process encapsulates the Layer N
message by placing it in the data field of a
Layer N-1 message and adding headers and
perhaps trailers to create the full Layer N-1
Message
28
Layer Cooperation on the Source Host

Small but important detail on naming

Layer 3 (internet) messages are called
packets
– IP message is a packet

Layer 2 (data link) messages are called
frames
– PPP message is called a frame
29
Layer Cooperation: Destination Host

Destination host reverses processes on the
sending host
– Delivers HTTP message to the webserver
application program

Indirect Communication

Two processes on different machines
cannot communicate directly with one
another because they are physically
separated

So they communicate indirectly, using
cooperation with lower layers
34
35
The First Router

First router receives an IP packet
(encapsulated in a frame) in one port
(interface)

Must make a router forwarding decision:
select the port to use to send it back out

Layer Cooperation on the First Router

So far, we have only looked at hosts
– But deencapsulation and encapsulation also
occur on EACH router

Frame arrives at a port on the first router
– Port’s data link layer process receives the PPP
frame containing an IP packet

37
Layer Cooperation on the First Router

Routers only have physical, data link, and
internet layer processes
– So internet layer process is the highest-layer
process on a router for router forwarding
– Internet layer process decides where to send
the packet next: another router or the
destination host

Notes

For router forwarding, routers only use
physical, data link, and internet processes

Routers First Receive Frames
– Receiving interface deencapsulates the IP
packet, passes the packet to the internet layer
process

Routers Then Send Frames Out
– On a different output interface (port)
– This requires encapsulating of the IP packet in
a data link layer frame
41
Part C: Other Important TCP/IP
Standards
Domain Name System (DNS)
Autoconfiguration Protocols
Domain Name System (DNS)

Only IP addresses are official
– e.g., 128.171.17.13
– These are 32-bit binary numbers
– Only they fit into the 32-bit destination and
source address fields of the IP headers
IP Packet
32-bit Source and Destination Addresses (110011...)
43
Domain Name System (DNS)

Users typically only know host names
– e.g., voyager.cba.hawaii.edu
– More easily remembered, but
– Will not fit into the address fields of an IP
packet
IP Packet
NO
voyager.cba.hawaii.edu
44
Domain Name System (DNS)

User’s computer sends a DNS host the
target host’s host name in a DNS Request
message

DNS host returns the target host’s IP
address in DNS Response message

Domain Name System (DNS)

Subtlety
– Organizations or ISPs have local DNS hosts
– These hosts must know only local host names
and IP addresses
– For other host names, local DNS host passes
request to another DNS host

Domain Names

Internet uses hierarchical naming
– A domain is a collection of resources managed
by an organization

Generic top level domains (gTLD) by type
of organization
– .com
– .edu

for commercial organizations
for educational institutions
National top level domains (nTLDs) by
country
– .UK
– .AU
United Kingdom
Australia
48
Domain Names

Organizations are given second-level
domain names
–
–
–
–
–

Microsoft.com
Hawaii.edu
JAIMS.org
panko.com
Whitehouse.gov
Also can have second-level domains for
products (nameofnewmovie.com)
49
Domain Names

Organizations can create lower-level
domain names
– cba.hawaii.edu (for the College of
Business Administration)

The lowest level domain name is the host
name for an individual host or router
– www.cba.hawaii.edu
– www.microsoft.com
– www.panko.com
50
Autoconfiguration

Every computer attached to the Internet is
a host
– Including desktop PCs

Every host must have an IP address

Some hosts, such as routers and
webservers, get permanent IP addresses
– So that they can be found easily
51
Autoconfiguration

User PCs do not need permanent IP
addresses
– They only need to be found within a use
session
– They usually are given temporary IP
addresses each time they use the
Internet
– They may get a different IP address
each time they use the Internet
52
53
Autoconfiguration

Request-Response Cycle
– User software requests IP address for the user
PC in Autoconfiguration Request message
– Autoconfiguration Response message contains
temporary IP address to use in current session


Most popular autoconfiguration protocol is
DHCP
– Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
– Built into Windows after Win 3.1
– Supplies host with temporary IP address

DHCP can give more information too
– Usually gives IP address of a default gateway
(Microsoft terminology for router)
– Can give IP address of a local DNS host
– Can give other information

Windows Layering vs. TCP/IP-OSI

Clients and Services
– For file service
– Clients set up Windows to be a client for a
particular type of file server
– Services set up Windows to make a user’s PC
provide file and print services for other PCs on
the network
• Very limited; not for file servers on large PC
networks
57
Windows Layering vs. TCP/IP-OSI

Protocols
– Combination of transport and internet layer
protocols
– TCP/IP is only one possibility
– IPX/SPX for Novell NetWare servers; Microsoft
sometimes calls this NW Link
– NetBEUI for some Microsoft servers on small
PC networks
58
Windows Layering vs. TCP/IP-OSI

Adapters
– Combination of data link layer and physical
layer protocols
– The subnet layers
– Dial-Up adapter sets up a modem and PPP
– Other “adapters,” including Ethernet for a
network interface card (NIC)
59
60
Bindings

Bindings
– After add clients, services, protocols, and
adapters, must bind the combinations that will
work together

Configuring Networking in Windows

In Windows 95 and Windows 98,
– Go to the Start Button
– Choose Settings
– Choose Control Panel
– Double click the Network icon
– This opens the Network Dialog Box
62
The Network Dialog Box

Be sure the Configuration tab is selected
– You will see adapters, protocols, clients, and
services that have already been added

Operations
– Add: To add an adapter, protocol, client, or
service
– Remove: To remove one
– Properties: To see or change the properties of
the selected adapter, protocol, client, or service
63
The Network Dialog Box

The Add Button
– Clicking the “Add” button takes you to the
Select Network Component Type dialog box
– Choose client, protocol, adapter, or service,
then hit Add
– Assume you chose “protocol” You then go to
the Select Network Protocol dialog box
– Other choices will take you to the relevant
Select Network … dialog box
64
The Network Dialog Box

Select Network Protocol Dialog Box
– Click on a manufacturer to see the protocols it
offers; then click on the specific protocol
– Hit OK to add the protocol from files on your
hard drive or Have Disk if you have a disk
containing the protocol
– The selected protocol will be added
– The Select Network Client, Service, and
Adapter dialog boxes work the same way
65
The Network Dialog Box

To configure a protocol after adding it
– Go to the Network Dialog Box
– Click on the target protocol, etc.
– Click on the Properties button below it
– A dialog box specific to that protocol, etc. will
appear
– This will allow you to configure the protocol,
etc.
66
The TCP/IP Properties Box

To configure TCP/IP
– Click on TCP/IP on the Configuration tab of
the Network Dialog Box
– Click on the Properties button below it
– This opens the TCP/IP Properties dialog box
– The TCP/IP Properties dialog box has multiple
tabs
67
The TCP/IP Properties Box

By default, the IP Address tab is shown
when you open the TCP/IP Properties
Dialog Box

There are two radio buttons allowing you to
either
– “Specify an IP address” or
– “Obtain an IP address automatically”
68
The TCP/IP Properties Box

“Specify an IP address”
– Type in your PC’s permanent IP address
– Type in your local subnet mask (discussed in
Chapter 3)
– Also, on other tabs, setup other parameters
• Gateway (default router)
• DNS Configuration
• Bindings
69
The TCP/IP Properties Box

“Specify an IP address”
– Gateway: IP address router to send packets to
if no other router is specified; Gateway is the
old name for router
– DNS Configuration: Enable or disable DNS,
enter DNS host’s IP address and IP address of
backup DNS host
– Bindings: bindings between the TCP/IP
protocol and clients/services and adapters
70
The TCP/IP Properties Box

“Obtain IP address automatically”
– Asks a DHCP autoconfiguration host for a
temporary IP address
– Also obtains most other configuration
information from the autoconfiguration host as
well
– Almost always the best choice for client PCs
71
Part E:
Broader Perspective
A Multiprotocol World
Other TCP/IP-IP Standards

Even if you use TCP/IP-OSI, you will
not always use HTTP, TCP, and IP at
the top layers
– There are any other TCP/IP protocols for the
application, transport, and internet layers
– Application layer protocols for e-mail, etc.
– Also multiple transport and internet layer
protocols; not always TCP and IP
73
Other TCP/IP-IP Standards

Even if you use TCP/IP-OSI, you will not
always use PPP and modems at the data
link and physical layers
– Many other subnet standards
– Ethernet and other subnet standards for LANs
– Many WAN standards
74
Other TCP/IP-IP Standards

Viewing TCP/IP broadly
– Each layer, in other words, can use any of
several TCP/IP-OSI protocols
– Don’t confuse the standards of webserver
access from home using a telephone line and
modem (HTTP, TCP, IP, PPP, and serial ports,
modems, etc.) with TCP/IP-OSI standards in
general
75
You Will Not Always Use TCP/IPOSI Standards

You almost always will use OSI standards
for the data link and the physical layers

However, at higher layers, you may use
Non-TCP protocols
– IPX/SPX in some Novell NetWare file servers
– SNA for mainframes
– AppleTalk for Macintoshes
– NetBEUI for servers on some small LANs
76
Living in a Multiprotocol World

There are many standards architectures

Each has different layering

Each has multiple standards at each layer

This book will focus on TCP/IP-OSI and
some specific TCP/IP-OSI standards only
because not all standards can be covered

We live in a multiprotocol world
