Protocols and Standards

Protocol

A set of rules governing data communications




Syntax: format of data block
Semantics: meaning of each section
Timing: speed and sequencing
Standards

De facto (in practice) standards
 not approved but widely adopted

De jure (in law) standards
 approved by a standard organization, e.g., ISO, IEEE
7
Protocols and Standards


To communicate, two devices must follow
the same set of communication protocols
E.g., they must



be connected to the same medium
understand each other's messages
In other words, they comply with the same
standard

Internetworking



How to allow devices from different standards
to communicate
Gateways/routers – devices capable of
communicating in several standards
These become "network of networks"
11
The Internet


The largest internetwork (network of networks) in
the world
Devices communicating with TCP/IP protocol suite at
high level
Stanford
U. of Utah
UC Santa Barbara
UCLA

Internet Growth
#computers attached to Internet
13
Recent and Future Trends


The availability of high-quality
teleconferencing systems
Some social networking applications such as

Facebook
Twitter
Google+

Many others



The Internet of Things (IoT)

What Will We Learn in this course





Data communication concepts
Computer networking devices
Internet protocol suite (TCP/IP)
Capture and analyze network traffic of wellknown applications
Network programming



Standalone socket applications
Web-based applications
Web services
22
Languages and Tools

Basic network tools


Network traffic monitor


ping, traceroute (tracert on Windows)
Wireshark
Programming


Java (with Groovy shell)
Serial communication library

Such as RXTX
23
Ping
24
Trace Route
25
Monitoring Network Traffic
Sample results from Wireshark
26
Serial Communication


Most basic form of device-to-device
communication
However, most recent computers do not
come with a serial port

Use USB-Serial dongle instead
USB-Serial
Dongle
TX

27
Berkeley Socket API


Provides serial-communication abstraction over the
Internet
Java, .NET, Python, etc. provide convenient
wrappers around socket API

Easier to write than C/C++
28
Web APIs (Web Services)

APIs defining set of request and response
messages via web context (i.e., HTTP)



usually in Extensible Markup Language (XML)
or JavaScript Object Notation (JSON) format
Examples



Facebook API
Twitter API
Various Google APIs
