Networking
An Introduction
History of the Internet

ARPAnet
• Advanced Research Project Agency
• First four nodes – 1969
• Connect supercomputers

DARPAnet
• Defense Advanced Research Project
Agency
• Replaced ARPA and took over network
History of Internet (2)

NSFnet
• Merged NSF network and DARPAnet
when defense community moved to
more secure network. (Internet)
• Early 1990’s, administration of Internet
moves to public utilities.
†Based
upon Null and Lobur, Computer Organization and Architecture, Jones and Barttlett, 2003.
Characteristics of Internet
Originally designed to survive
thermonuclear war
 Adopted datagrams that could be
individually routed
 Uniform protocol over dissimilar
hardware
 Philosophy of free and open
information interchange

TCP/IP Protocol

Three layered protocol
• Process layer
Application uses protocol from TCP/IP suite
 FTP
 HTTP
 STMP
 TELNET

• TCP layer
• IP layer

Network Layer
(e.g. Ethernet)
upon Stallings, Data and Computer Communications, Prentice-Hall, 1997.
IP
Internet Protocol
 Two versions

• IPv4
• IPv6
Divides packets into units called
datagrams
 Adds Routing Information
 Purpose – route datagrams over
network

IP Routing
Send Message

Datagram 1

Datagram 2

Receive Message
IPv4 Datagram Header


Header length - minimum of 5 - 32 bit words
Word 1
•
•
•
•

Version – IP version
Header Length – in 32 bit words (min is 5)
Type of Service - priority
Total Length of datagram – total length (65,535 max)
Word 2
• Packet Id – number assigned as placed on network
• Flags – can packet be broken to smaller fragments
• Fragment offset – offset of fragment in original
datagram
IPv4 Datagram Header (2)

Word 3
• Time to Live (TTL) – number of hops left
in datagram lifetime
• Protocol Number – higher level protocol
sending packet
• Header Checksum
Word 4 – Source IP address
 Word 5 – Destination IP address
 Word 6 – IP options

IPv4 Address Classes

Three Classes of addresses
• Class A network
• Class B network
• Class C network
IP address 32 bits long
 Uses dotted decimal notation

• 4 groups each representing 8 bits
• E.g. 168.47.23.8
Class A Networks

Format
•
•
•
•

0|Network|Host
High bit: 0
Network: 7 bits
Host: 24 bits
Reserved networks
• 127.x.x.x – loop back address
• 0.0.0.0 – default route

126 Networks
• 0.x.x.x to 127.x.x.x


Each has 224 (16.7 million) nodes
10.x.x.x is internal network number
Class B Networks

Format
• High two bits: 10
• Network: 14 bits
• Host 16 bits

214 (16,382) networks
• 128.0.x.x to 191.255.x.x
216-2 (65,534)hosts per network
 168.x.x.x is internal IP

Class C Network

Format
• High three bits: 110
• Network: 21 bits
• Host 8 bits

221 (2,097,152)Networks
• 192.0.0.x to 223.255.255.x
28 (256) Hosts per network
 192.x.x.x is an internal network
number

IPv4 Problems

65,536 byte packet is too small
• Can pass router in 1Gb network in less than 1
ms

Too few Addresses
• 126 Class A with 16.7 million nodes each – too
large
• Class C address has only 256 nodes – too
small

Typical Backbone routing table must
contain ~70,000+ routes
Transmission Control Protocol




TCP uses services provided by IP
More sophisticated than IP
TCP opens a connection – conservation
Service Access Port
• SAP - numerical
• Socket - SAP, host ID, and protocol designation
• Ports 0 – 1023


Well known ports
Use is reserved (e.g. 23 used by Telnet)
• Ports 1024 – 65,535

User defined
Transmission Control Protocol
Is reliable
 TCP assures

• Proper sequence
• No duplicates
• Overflow prevented (transmission
speed)
• Connection-oriented
• Retransmission of lost data
TCP: Three-way Handshake
A

B
Open Connection
• SYN – Synchronize


T
i
m
e


ACK – Acknowledge
Note the
acknowledgement of
each msg
Negotiate connection
w. sequence numbers
next seq# t+2 for A,
and j+2 for B
Establishes connection
Windows and Payload Size

Window
• Number of bytes to send between
acknowledgements
• i.e. send window size bytes before
expecting an ACK to be returned

Payload Size
• Number of bytes sent in each packet

Negotiated after connection is
established
TCP Data Transfer
B Window = 500 bytes
Payload = 100 bytes
A
A can now send packets 300
to 600 w/o acknowledgement
TCP Segment Format

Word 1
• Source Port – 16 bits
• Destination Port – 16 bits



Word 2 – Sequence Number
Word 3 – Acknowledgement Number
Word 4
•
•
•
•

Data Offset – Number of 32-bit words in header
Reserved
Flags – URG, ACK, PSH, RST, SYN, FIN
Window – 16 bits
Word 5
• Checksum – 16 bits
• Urgent Pointer 16 bits

Word 6 Options
IPv6 Protocol
Addresses the Class B Problem
32 addresses
 IPv4 – 2
 IPv6 – 2128 addresses

• 2128 - 1 oz NIC → 1.61 quadrillion x
mass earth
• That’s enough addresses!
Requires management
 Implementation by 2010

IPv6 Address Organization


Aggregatable Global Unicast Address
Format
Organization
• High 3 bits – flag indicating AGUA addr.
• Next 13 bits


Top-Level Aggregation (TLA) ID
Country, major global telecomm carrier
• Next 8 bits –Reserved (growing room)
• Next 24 bits


Level Aggregation (NLA) ID
Large company, government, ISP
IPv6 Address Organization (2)
• Next 16 bits


Site-Level Aggregation Id
Can break up addresses into 65,536 sub-netwroks
• Next 64 bits



Specify host
Each sub-network can have 264 hosts
Stateless Address Autoconfiguration
• Use 48 bit MAC address
• Completes address with net. info. from nearby
router


Prevents address spoofing
Has a transitional phase
Network Devices

Hub
• Physical layer
• Input port copied to all output ports
• Non-switched Ethernet

Switches
• Create point-to-point connection between input port and
one output port
• Switched Ethernet

Bridges
• Both networks must be same type

Gateways
• Point of entrance to a network
• Connects networks using different protocols
Routers
Connected to at least two networks
 Determines the destination to which
a packet should be sent
 Layer 3 Device

• Switch at the OSI Network layer
• Can bridge different network media

Computer that implements a routing
algorithm
Routing

NP-complete problem
• Consider a complete graph
• Number of simple paths between any two nodes – N!


Add finding the best path
Best
• Shortest?
• Fastest?



Routing information must be kept dynamically
Very hard but important task

Distance Vector Routing Problems
Long time for routing tables to
stabilize
 Considerable traffic to keep tables
updated
 Obsolete routes

• Count-to-infinity problem
• Cycles in the routing can cause each to
keep updating hop count until infinite
value results
