What is Computer Networks?
A collection of autonomous computers
interconnected by a single technology
 Interconnected via:
•
•
•
•
•
Copper wire
Fiber optics
Microwaves
Infrared
Communication satellites, etc.
Why Computer Networks?
Business Applications
 [Goal1] Resource Sharing
• To connect isolated computer and information to
be able to extract and correlate information about
the entire company.
• To make all programs, equipment (ex: printers,
scanners, and CD burners), and especially data
available to anyone on the network without regard
to the physical location of the resource an the user.
 [Goal 2] Communication Medium
• Electronic mail (e-mail)
• Shared resources (ex: shared hard driver)
• Videoconferencing, a shared virtual blackboard
 [Goal 3] Electronic Commerce (e-commerce)
• To do business electronically with other
companies. (ex: order the parts of a product from a
variety of suppliers)
• To do business with consumers over the Internet.
Home Applications
 [Goal 1] Access to remote information
• Newspapers, Digital library
 [Goal 2] Person-to-person communication
• Email, Instant messaging, Chat room,
Worldwide newsgroups
• Peer-to-peer communication (ex: Napster)
• Internet phone, Internet video phone, Internet
radio, Telelearning
Home Applications (cont.)
 [Goal 3] Interactive entertainment
• Video on demand, Interactive live television show,
Multiperson real-time simulation games – possibly
with worldwide shared virtual reality.
 [Goal 4] Electronic commerce
• Home shopping, Electric flea markets, On-line
auctions
 Mobile Network Users

[Goal] To have a portable office
•
Cellular phone, PDA, Military use, Wireless
sensor networks, Mobile-commerce,
Wearable wireless computers
Combinations of wireless networks and mobile computing.
Network Types Based on Roles
 Terminal Connection
Network Types Based on Roles
 Client-server
Network Types Based on Roles
Peer-to-peer
 Computers act as both client and server on the
network
 There is no reliance on a centralized server to
provide access to data and other resources
 Compared to a centralized client-server model,
peer-to-peer is decentralized, meaning any
host can communicate with any other host

Personal Area Network (PAN)
 A person’s body or desk area
Local Area Networks (1)
Local Area Network (LAN)
 Limited geographical distance: home, office,
building, campus, industrial part
 Customer premises operation
• User firm chooses technology
• User firm needs to manage on ongoing basis
 Low cost per bit transmitted
• Companies can afford high speed
• 100 Mbps to the desktop is typical
Local Area Networks (2)
Two broadcast networks
(a) Bus (b) Ring
Local Area Networks (3)
 Ethernet

Most popular LAN
Architecture of the original Ethernet.
Metropolitan Area Networks
Metropolitan Area Network (MAN)
 Single urban area (city and its suburbs)
 Faster than long-distance WANs
 Still slower than LANs
Metropolitan Area Networks
A metropolitan area network based on cable TV.
Wide Area Network (WAN)
WAN
 To link sites
• Long distances
 Requires the use of carriers to provide service
• Limited and complex choices but carrier manages
 High cost per bit transmitted
• Companies cannot afford high speeds
• Usually low speed (56 kbps to a few megabits per
second)
Wide Area Networks (1)
Relation between hosts on LANs and the subnet.
Wide Area Networks (2)
A stream of packets from sender to receiver.
Wireless Networks
 Categories of wireless networks:
 System interconnection
 Wireless LANs
• Speed: Upto about 50Mbps
• Distance: Tens of meters
 Wireless WANs (ex: cellular system)
• Speed: below 1Mbps
• Distance: Kilometers
Wireless Networks (2)
(a) Bluetooth configuration (b) Wireless LAN
 Wireless LANs
(a) Wireless networking with a base station.
(b) Ad hoc networking.
 Standard for Wireless LANs
IEEE 802.11 network.
 Wireless WAN Networks
(a) Individual mobile computers
(b) A flying LAN
Network Software

Connectionless Services

 The Relationship of Services to
Protocols
Network Software
Protocol Hierarchies
 Layers, protocols, and interfaces.
Protocol Hierarchies

Protocol Hierarchies (3)
 Example information flow supporting
virtual communication in layer 5.
Design Issues for the Layers


Addressing
Error Control
Flow Control
Multiplexing
Routing
Connection-Oriented and
Connectionless Services
The software used to maintain each protocol
is often called a protocol stack
Transport layer protocols can be:
 Connectionless, or stateless, which sends each
packet without regard to whether any other
packet was received by the destination computer
(implementation: packet switching, UDP)
 Connection oriented, or stateful, which
maintains information about which packets have
been correctly received by the destination
computer (implm.:circuit-switching, TCP)
Connection-Oriented and
Connectionless Services
 Six different types of service.
Service Primitives
 Five service primitives for implementing a
simple connection-oriented service.
Service Primitives (2)
 Packets sent in a simple client-server
interaction on a connection-oriented
network.
Services to Protocols
Relationship
The relationship between a service and a protocol.
Why
Standard or Reference Model?
Consumer
 Easy to select a product which is compatible
with other equipments.
Supplier
 Minimize risk when it develops new
technologies.

Model
 Problems:





Service, interface, and protocol not
distinguished
Not a general model
Host-to-network “layer” not really a layer
No mention of physical and data link layers
Minor protocols deeply entrenched, hard to
replace
Networking Technologies
Ethernet
 Most widely used technology
 Three variation of Ethernet based on
transmission speed, or bandwidth
Token-ring
 Uses a token to identify which computer on
the network has the right to transmit data
 Not as fast as Ethernet, and may be more
expensive
Networking Technologies
Fiber Distributed Data Interface (FDDI)
 Reliable, but slower and costlier than Ethernet
Arcnet
 Reliable, but slower token-passing technology
Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM)
 high-speed, very reliable and very expensive used
for Internet backbones
Wireless LAN (WLAN)
 No cables used to connect nodes to the network
 Data is transmitted via radio signals of infrared
