Self and Peer Assessment
How well has each person contributed to the group?
Evaluated over the entire semester
Assessed on process, not product
Work out a grade for each person (CR, DI etc)
Then convert this to a mark out of 20
Submit list of marks to tutor with justifications
Repeat previous step until the tutor is satisfied
See guidelines in Blackboard material

Internet
Originally designed to survive nuclear war
Grew out of army research into missile communication
Key role in breaking down the Berlin Wall
Lecture 20: Internet Intro to IT
Lecture 20: Internet Intro to IT
Internet
Dedicated channel:
two nodes exclusively use a single channel
works like traditional telephone
Packet switching:
break data down into packets
send packets from many users along link
can exploit redundancies and variations in network
Lecture 20: Internet Intro to IT
Protocols
Transmission Control Protocol (TCP):
basic necessities for data transfer
connection-oriented
Internet Protocol (IP):
data-oriented
necessary for packet-switched network

Lecture 20: Internet Intro to IT
Protocols
Lecture 20: Internet Intro to IT
Application Protocols
Define messages sent and data formats used
Generally known by user
Examples include HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, etc.
Often specified in resource identifiers

Lecture 20: Internet Intro to IT
World Wide Web (WWW)
Combination of 4 different ideas:
Hypertext: information format for moving documents around
Markup Language: codes embedded in text indicating structure and presentation meaning
Resource Identifiers (URI, URL, ...)
Client-server model: client software requests resources from servers
Note WWW is not the Internet …

Network Layer (Internet Protocol) Real intelligence is in the network layer
Adds next destination to packet
Not complete list of addresses
Sends to next destination
Retrieves final destination packets for this node
Passes them to the transport layer
Routing tables can be updated when disconnections occur
Hop counts used to stop endless looping
Lecture 20: Internet Intro to IT
Transport layer
Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) often used
User Datagram Protocol (UDP) becoming more common
TCP
Establishes connection first
Send and wait for acknowledgement
Reliable
Can adjust flow control to avoid congestion
Often best for email (which is not real-time)
Older
Lecture 20: Internet Intro to IT
Transport layer
UDP
Doesn’t establish connection
Just sends and forget
Efficient
No congestion adjustment
Works well for DNS lookup
Often used for Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) applications such as Skype
Lecture 20: Internet Intro to IT
Internet addresses
Unique 32-bit identifier (up to 4,294,967,296)
Soon to become 128-bit identifier
Managed by Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN)
ISPs get “blocks” of addresses
32-bit string represented as N1.N2.N3.N4 where Ni
is in the range 0..255
17.12.25.0 means
00010001 00001100 00011001 00000000
Lecture 20: Internet Intro to IT
Internet addresses
Dotted decimal notation is still not very kind to humans …
www.sludgefacethemovie.com -> ??.??.??.??
Translation done by name servers which look up the Domain Name System (DNS)
Domains such as rmit.edu.au can be structured by the domain owner (eg goanna.cs.rmit.edu.au)
Lecture 20: Internet Intro to IT
IPv4 vs IPv6
Internet Protocol version 4 (used since 1981) 32-bit addresses Can handle “only’’ 4,294,967,296 unique
addresses Exhausted in February 2011 IPv6 uses 128-bit addresses IPv6 can handle “only” 3.4×1038 addresses IPv5 didn’t change the IPv4 address space
and wasn’t successful for other reasons …
