Data Communications 3.4 Internet – Internet Connection Internet/Intranet The development of the Internet The development of IT as a timeline Difference between intranet and the Internet Functions of a typical school intranet The development of the Internet It was conceived by the Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA) of the U.S. government in 1969 and was first known as the Advanced Research Projects Agency Network. The original aim was to create a network that would allow users of a research computer at one university to be able to "talk to" research computers at other universities. Extracted from whatis.com The development of the Internet A side benefit of ARPANet's design was that, because messages could be routed or rerouted in more than one direction, the network could continue to function even if parts of it were destroyed in the event of a military attack or other disaster. Extracted from whatis.com The development of the Internet A global network connecting millions of computers. As of 1999, the Internet has more than 200 million users worldwide, and that number is growing rapidly. More than 100 countries are linked into exchanges of data, news and opinions.

Cable modems can dramatically increase the bandwidth between the user's computer and the Internet service provider Cable modems link to the computer via Ethernet, which makes the service online all the time the speed will vary depending on how many customers on that cable segment are using the Web at the same time Cable modem Cable modem ADSL Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line, a new technology that allows more data to be sent over existing copper telephone lines (POTS). ADSL supports data rates of from 1.5 to 9 Mbps when receiving data (known as the downstream rate) and from 16 to 640 Kbps when sending data (known as the upstream rate). TCP/IP A protocol is a set of special rules governing transmitting and receiving of data between end points TCP – Transmission Control Protocol IP – Internet Protocol Refer to the handouts of chapter 3.2 for the functions of TCP and IP IP Address An identifier for a computer or device on a TCP/IP network The format of an IP address is a 32-bit numeric address written as four numbers separated by periods. Each number can be zero to 255. For example, 1.160.10.240 could be an IP address. IP address classes Class A addresses are for large networks with many devices. Class B addresses are for mediumsized networks. Class C addresses are for small networks (fewer than 256 devices). Class D addresses are multicast addresses. Class A IP addresses Class Max.

The mask is a binary pattern that is matched up with the IP address to turn part of the host ID address field into a field for subnets. It's called a mask because it can be used to identify the subnet to which an IP address belongs by performing a bitwise AND operation on the mask and the IP address Subnet mask E.g. with explanations: Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0 (11111111.11111111.11111111.00000000) IP address: 150.215.17.9 (10010110.11010111.00010001.00001001) Subnet address: 150.215.17.0 (10010110.11010111.00010001.00000000) Subnet mask E.g. with explanations: Subnet mask: 255.255.240.0 (11111111.11111111.11110000.00000000) IP address: 150.215.17.9 (10010110.11010111.00010001.00001001) Subnet address: 150.215.16.0 (10010110.11010111.00010000.00000000) Default subnet mask numbers Class Default subnet mask numbers A 255.0.0.0 (Dec) B 255.255.0.0 (Dec) C 255.255.255.0 (Dec) Reserved IP addresses 127.X.X.X – Loop back X.X.X.0 – Network X.X.X.255 – Broadcasting DNS Short for Domain Name System (or Service), an Internet service that translates domain names into IP addresses Because domain names are alphabetic, they're easier to remember The Internet however, is really based on IP addresses Every time you use a domain name, therefore, a DNS service must translate the name into the corresponding IP address. For example, the domain name www.example.com might translate to 198.105.232.4. DNS The DNS system is, in fact, its own network If one DNS server doesn't know how to translate a particular domain name, it asks another one, and so on, until the correct IP address is returned Routers A device that forwards data packets from one local area network (LAN) or wide area network (WAN) to another Based on routing tables and routing protocols, routers read the network address in each transmitted frame and make a decision on how to send it based on the most expedient route (traffic load, line costs, speed, bad lines, etc.) Install TCP/IP Network Fig. 1 Install TCP/IP Add Fig. 2 Install TCP/IP Add Protocol Fig. 3 Install TCP/IP TCP/IP protocol Fig. 4 Configure TCP/IP Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) Fig. 5 Configure TCP/IP IP address Subnet mask Fig. 6 TCP/IP Utilities ping (Packet Inter-Network Groper) – This is used to test whether the host is reachable or not. – ping 10.123.48.173 – ping www.yahoo.com TCP/IP Utilities nslookup (name service lookup) – This is used to find the web address from the IP address or vice and versa – nslookup 10.123.48.173 – nslookup www.yahoo.com TCP/IP Utilities tracert (trace route) – This is used to show the path of the packet which has passed through on its way to destination. – tracert www.koei.co.jp – tracert www.netvigator.com TCP/IP Utilities netstat (network statistics) – This is used to view TCP/IP statistics and the current active TCP/IP connections – netstat TCP/IP Utilities ipconfig (IP configuration) – This is used to list the IP configuration of the current computer – ipconfig – ipconfig /all TCP/IP Utilities arp (Address Resolution Protocol) – This is used to displays and modifies the IP-to-Physical address translation tables – arp -a Firewall A firewall is special software or hardware designed to protect a private computer network from unauthorized access. Firewalls are used by corporations, banks and research facilities to keep information private and secure. Proxy Server A proxy server stores web contents on local hard disks so that the next visit of the same web addresses will retrieve faster.
