Computer Networks
IP Addresses
• Before we communicate with a computer on
the network we have to be able to identify
it.
• Every computer on a network must have a
unique “address”.
• The system used on the Internet is called
Internet Protocol (IP). Every machine on
the Internet has a unique IP address.*
Internet Protocol (IP)
• Internet protocol has been revised
– IP version 4 (IPv4) is the most widely used.
– IP version 6 (IPv6) will eventually replace it.
• IPv4 uses 32-bit host addresses
• IPv6 uses 128-bit host addresses
Internet Protocol (IPv4)
• 32-bit IP addresses
– Store internally as a single word
– Usually expressed to user’s using “dotted
decimal notation” (e.g., 161.115.147.1) where
each of the four numbers range from 0 to 255.
– Usually aliased to host “domain name” of the
system (e.g. hobb-0113-Instrl.lynchburg.edu,
www.google.com, www.amazon.com )
Domain Name System (DNS)
• How can we map host names to IP
addresses?
• Domain Name Servers provide names in
response to client requests.
• A hierarchical representation provides name
management at each level of domain name.
Domain Name Management
• Each level is responsible for assigning its
own names
– .edu is the top-level domain for educational
institutions in the US. We need to get
permission from the managers of the .edu
domain before we can use lynchburg.edu
– lynchburg.edu is the Lynchburg College
domain name. We can name our computers
anything we want, (e.g., altair.lynchburg.edu).
– If we wanted to we could create a
cs.lynchburg.edu subdomain
Client/Server Models
• Network interaction is based on an
asymmetrical relationship
– Server
• provides services to authorized clients
• typically handles many clients simultaneously
• works passively, driven by client requests
– Client
• requests services
• typically initiates
Port Numbers
• IP addresses identify host machines only.
• Port numbers identify services on machines.
– 16-bit port numbers provide values (0-65535)
• “Well-known ports” (0-1023)
• Registered ports (1024-49151) (49152 is 75% of
available port numbers)
• Dynamic or private ports
• Internet Assigned Number Authority (IANA)
– Determines (0-1023)
– Registers (1024-49151)
– Does not control (49151-65535)

Telnet Client
• telnet <hostname> <port number>
– provides a general interface to request a service
and return a text response.
Trace Route
• traceroute <hostname> (unix)
• tracert <hostname>
(dos/windows)
Ping
• See if there is a connection between two
machines
• See if a particular host is running
ping <hostname>
Special Ip Addresses
Subnets
• Problem:
– We are rapidly running out of IP addresses
– Many networks do not have the maximum
number of hosts that can be supported
• Temporary Solution:
– Create subnet. Subnet works with smaller
numbers of hosts.
• Changes the distribution of network and
host addresses
– Uses some of the bits originally allocated for
the host address for the network address
Sample subnet for class “B” network
Types of Routing
• Direct Routing
– Both machines are on the same network
– Machines communicate directly, e.g., on the same
Ethernet
• Indirect Routing
– Machines are on different physical networks
– There is no direct connection
– Datagrams travel from source to destination via one or
more gateways or routers.
• Hosts can determine which method to use by
comparing their network address with the network
address of the datagram.
Gateways and Routers
• A gateway is a host that belongs to more than one
network
• A gateway has more than one IP address, one for
each network that includes it.
• Gateways can also work as hosts, but more
frequently gateways provide routing as their
principal function.
• The terms router and gateway are often used
interchangeably, but the term router is more often
used to describe custom hardware dedicated to
routing.

Routing on a LAN
• Datagrams can be routed directly to a
destination host that is connected to the
same LAN
• Ethernet cards all have a unique 6-byte
address (e.g., 08-f3-32-a3-b5-23)
• The hosts maintain a table of IP to Ethernet
address translations
• This table is maintained automatically using
ARP
Address Resolution Protocol (ARP)
• The source broadcasts the destination address to
the local network (along with the local source’s
address) requesting the Ethernet address of the
corresponding host
• The destination host responds by sending its
Ethernet address to the source host
• The destination host sends the data to the
destination and records the IP/Ethernet address
pair in a cache for future use.
• Cache entries time-out and must be reacquired
Basics of Internet Routing
• Look at the destination IP address
• Extract the network address
• If network is directly connected, send the
datagram directly. Use ARP to resolve the
physical address if necessary.
• If network is indirectly connected, lookup
the address of the network in a routing
table.
