Introduction: Network Components
Links: carry bits from one place to another
(or maybe to many other places)
Interface: attaches device to link
Switch/router: interconnect links
Host: communication endpoint (workstation,
PDA, cell phone, toaster, tank) – connected
to links

Introduction: Internetwork
Provides message delivery between multiple
networks that may belong to different
organizations:
ISP 1
Subnet 1
ISP 2
Subnet 2
Example:
Subnet 1 = network of LANs of previous slide
ISP 1 = Sprint, ISP 2 = MCI
Subnet 2 = UCB network

Characteristics
Broadcast



One to all
Examples: some LANs (Hub-Ethernet, 802.11)
Problem: coordinate the access of all nodes to
the shared communication medium (Multiple
Access Problem)
Switched



One to subset
Examples: WANs (Telephony Network, Internet)
Problem: how to forward information to
intended node(s)
 This is done by special nodes (e.g., routers,
switches) running routing protocols

How to Switch?
Circuit-Switched:
1.
2.
3.
Set up circuit between two devices
Exchange information
Release circuit
Packet-Switched:

Send packets with source and destination
addresses
Vircuit-Circuit Switched:
1.
2.
3.
4.
Select path from source to destination (Virtual
Circuit)
Assign a “label” to that path
Send packets with that label
Release Virtual Circuit
{Note: Some VCs are permanent.}

Introduction: The Internet
Overview

EECS122 - UCB
36
Internet: Overview
A global network of networks all
using a common protocol (IP, the
Internet Protocol)
Focus of this class
A challenge to understand:


large scale (10’s of millions of users, 10’s
of thousands of networks)
heterogeneity, irregular topology,
decentralized management

Packets: Main Ideas
The switches have no memory of
packets: scalability
The network is independent of the
applications: flexibility
The packet formats and addresses are
independent of the technology:
extensibility

Introduction: Transport
Acknowledgments
Link Sharing
EECS122 - UCB
42
Transport: Acknowledgments
The destination sends back an
acknowledgment for every correct
packet it gets.
The source uses these ACKs to
- Retransmit unacknowledged packets
- Adjust the rate of its transmissions.
EECS122 - UCB
43
Transport: Link Sharing
Shared links
The sources base their
transmissions on when
they get acknowledgments.
The scheme regulates the
sharing of common links
