Networks



Categories

• Communication Networks– PSTN

• Computer Networks– INTERNET

• Integrated Networks– Computer & Communication

Networks



Building Blocks

• Nodes: PC, special-purpose hardware…– hosts– switches

• Links: coax cable, optical fiber…– point-to-point

– multiple access …



Switched Networks

– two or more nodes connected by a link, or

– two or more networks connected by two or more nodes

• A network can be defined recursively as...



Switching Strategies

• Circuit switching: carry bit streams– original telephone network

• Packet switching: store-and-forward messages– Internet

• See the schematic diagram next

possible routes

Addressing and Routing

• Address: byte-string that identifies a node– usually unique

• Routing: process of forwarding messages to the destination node based on its address

• Types of addresses– unicast: node-specific– broadcast: all nodes on the network– multicast: some subset of nodes on the

network



What Goes Wrong in the Network?

• Bit-level errors (electrical interference)• Packet-level errors (congestion)• Link and node failures

• Messages are delayed• Messages are deliver out-of-order• Third parties eavesdrop



Layering• Use abstractions to hide complexity• Abstraction naturally lead to layering• Alternative abstractions at each layer

Request/replychannel

Message streamchannel

Application programs

Hardware

Host-to-host connectivity



Protocols

• Building blocks of a network architecture• Each protocol object has two different interfaces

– service interface: operations on this protocol

– peer-to-peer interface: messages exchanged with peer

• Term “protocol” is overloaded– specification of peer-to-peer interface– module that implements this interface

Internetworking



Definition

• An internetwork is an interconnected collection of independent networks– Each independent network is often

referred to as an autonomous system (AS)

• Internetwork is the generic name to any kind of network interconnection

• The INTERNET is a special internetwork that uses TCP/IP protocol stack



Difference with network?

• A network is a collection of interconnected computers• An internetwork is a collection of interconnected

networks (or AS’s)

Various Internetworking Cases

• LAN-LAN– EE LAN to CSE LAN in a campus network

• LAN-WAN– office LAN to the INTERNET

• WAN-WAN– ERNET to VSNL-net

• LAN-WAN-LAN– two offices connected via the INTERNET



Practical Internetworking Scenario

• LAN for small domains of computers• LAN-LAN interconnection for a campus• LAN-WAN interconnection for INTERNET

connectivity• LAN-WAN-LAN interconnection for connectivity

between distant computers

– Application layer gateway APDU-level



The INTERNET



Early History

• 1969, Dec – ARPANET went on air:: US DoD• 1974 – TCP/IP discovered :: Cerf & Kahn• 1983, Jan 01 – TCP/IP became the official protocol• MILNET is isolated from ARPANET• 1990 – the Internet takes over, ARPANET dies• NSFNET is merged with ARPANET• 1992 – the Internet Society was set up

Traditional use of the Internet

• E-mail (SMTP)– Pine, outlook express, hotmail, yahoo, etc

• News (NNTP)– Usenet

• Remote login (Telnet)– Rlogin

• File transfer (FTP)– CuteFTP, download

• Browsing (HTTP)– WWW, Explorer, Netscape



How to be on the Internet?

• A machine is capable to be on the Internet, if it has – An IP address– TCP/IP support – Ability to send IP packets– Physical connectivity

• Today TCP/IP is built into most OS’s



Connecting from Home

• Windows/Linux has TCP/IP inbuilt• Configure TCP/IP for your ISP & modem• Configure dial-up connection• Connect modem to your PC (connectivity) • Dial ISP’s # using PPP• Login and get temporary IP• Start browser or e-mail client

TCP/IP Stack

• Unlike OSI, it is a 5 layer architecture– Session & presentation layers are

merged into application layer

• Lower 2 layers are not specified– Any LAN can fit into IP– This is a prime reason for its

popularity

• Has its origin in UNIX OS

Internet Routing

• Overview– Forwarding vs. routing

• 2-level routing– IGP and EGP

• Distance vector• Link state• Route calculation

– Dijkstra’s algorithm



INTERNET PROTOCOL(IP)



Versions

• Two versions are there:– Version 4 (IPv4)

• 32 bit address

– Version 6 (IPv6)• 128 bit address

• Mobility support– Mobile IP



Global IP Addresses

• Properties– globally unique– hierarchical: network + host– 32/128 bit

• Dotted Decimal Notation– 10.3.2.4– 128.96.33.81– 192.12.69.77



Subnetting• Add another level to address/routing hierarchy: subnet• Subnet masks define variable partition of host part• Subnets visible only within site

IPv6

• Though CIDR has given IPv4 some breathing space, its days are numbered.

• In 1990, IETF started work on a new version of IP which will never run out of addresses

• In 19993, it is decided as IPv6 – Since IPv5 was already in use for an

experimental real-time streaming protocol

Network Security



Common Security RisksHacker To test out someone's security system; steal

dataBusinessman To discover a competitor's marketing

strategyAccountant To embezzle money from a company

Stockbroker To deny a promise made via e-mail

Con man To steal credit card numbers for sale

Student To have fun snooping on peoples' e-mail

Terrorist To destroy data (say by virus attack)



Security Measures

• Physical Layer: covert channel,

spread-spectrum

• Data Link Layer: link encryption

• Network Layer: packet-filter

• Application Layer:firewall,

cryptography



Secret Key System

Alice Bob

DES Key DES Key



SSL

• It is stream-based consisting of three phases• In initial handshake phase, secure

communications are established• In intermediate data transfer phase,

application-to-application dialog (with data encryption) occurs

• In closing handshake phase, connection is terminated



Looking Forward



The Power of “O”

YOUR BUSINESS

High data rate ~ Tbps

High reliability of fibre ~ 30 years

Low error rate < 10^(-6)
