The Internet Networks - Overview Internet – a network of networks Overview of networks A network consists of two or more computers connected together Common components include: Client computers Server computers Shared devices Cables, hubs, and routers that provide the network connections Networks – Overview (con’t) One way to describe networks is by their size: LAN (Local Area Network) – single building, relatively short distance WAN (Wide Area Network) – spans a large geographic area; Internet can be considered a large WAN Also: MAN (Metropolitan Area Network) – spans a distance larger than a LAN but smaller than a WAN WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network) – uses WiFi wireless network technology PAN (Personal Area Network) – organized around an individual; can involve cell phone, PDA, mobile computer, etc. CAN (Campus Area Network) – spans multiple LANs but smaller than a MAN; used on a college campus Networks – Benefits Benefits of networks Convenience Resource sharing Facilitates communication Saves money Reliability Scalability Internet Growth 433+ million computers linked as of 01/2007 (http://www.isc.org/index.pl) Reasons for success: Decisions not politically based Internet is distributed operation Homogeneity of language and outlook Inherently interested people Free (or inexpensive) software Internet Protocols Protocols – rules that describe how computers communicate; some common protocols: FTP (File Transfer Protocol) Email protocols – SMTP, POP, IMAP HTTP (HyperText Transfer Protocol) TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) TCP/IP TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol): How computers connect, send, and receive information TCP permits communication between computers IP specifies how data is routed to and from computers TCP and IP are primary protocols but TCP/IP refers to a whole suite of protocols Called “language of the Internet” Mandated in 1983 for all ARPANET hosts TCP/IP (con’t) Example 1: Sending an e-mail message Formatted according to Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) Example 2: Requesting a Web page Formatted according to Hyper Text Transfer Protocol (HTTP) TCP/IP (con’t) TCP is responsible for splitting the message into IP packets; each packet contains: Piece of message Information about sender Information about receiver Sequence number Error checking information TCP/IP (con’t) IP is responsible for routing the packets to the correct destination address At destination (receiving) computer TCP is responsible for: Reassembling message Sending requests for corrupt packets to be resent Advantages of packets: Error recovery Load distribution Flexibility Physical Components Servers Answer service requests Routers Direct data packets Networks Transport packets Copper wires, fiber-optic cables, radio waves, microwaves, infrared light, and visible light Types of Internet Connections Analog – regular dial-up - up to 56 Kbps ISDN (Integrated Services Digital Network) –up to 128 Kbps Broadband connections – faster than analog and ISDN: xDSL (Digital Subscriber Line) – permanent connection that uses phone line but does not tie up your connection; 128 Kbps to 8 Mbps Cable – permanent connection that operates over cable TV lines; 512 Kbps to 20 Mbps Types of Internet Connections (con’t) Other types of connections: Wireless Internet connections – uses radio frequency bands instead of telephone or cable networks (newer technology) T-1 lines – leased line option; used by businesses connecting to Internet and by ISPs connecting to the Internet backbone. Dedicated phone connection that supports data rates of 1.544 Mbps T-3 lines – used to connect to backbone and for the backbone itself. 43 to 45 Mbps IoS – Internet over Satellite; access via satellite ISPs, NSPs Internet Service Provider (ISP) Network Service Provider (NSP) Local ISPs can connect to NSPs Leased-lines from local telephone companies provide part of the network Transmit data at 1.54 megabits (Mbps) Backbone Provider – organization that supplies access to high-speed transmission lines used to connect to the Internet; some providers include: MCI, Sprint, UUNET, AGIS, BBN IP Address Unique numerical name identifying each computer on Internet vs. Domain Name People-oriented unique name using symbols; e.g., www.amazon.com 32 bits (four bytes) – 1 byte can represent the numbers 0 thru 255 Four natural numbers separated by dots (i.e., 72.21.203.1) Network component and host component IP Address (con’t) Vital in packet switching Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) IP address to domain names Operating unit of Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) – http://www.icann.org/index.html Assigns and manages IP addresses Resolver converts symbolic name to IP address Programs convert IP addresses to symbolic names (vice versa) nslookup (UNIX-based systems) IP Address (con’t) Static IP address Permanent Connection through router Dynamic IP address Changes with each Internet connection Connection through ISP IP Address (con’t) IPv6 or IPng - latest version of Internet Protocol (IP or IPv4) Major changes: More addresses Simplified IP headers IP address size from 32 bits to 128 bits 32 128 IPv4 supports 2 addresses; IPv6 supports 2 addresses Reduction of header fields in IP packet Added security features Web Page Retrieval Enter a URL (how://where/what) (1) Browser determines URL using “how” part (2) Browser queries the DNS for IP address using “where” part (3) DNS responds with IP address (e.g. 172.132.173.2) (4) Browser establishes TCP connection to above (5) Browser sends a request for “what” portion Web Page Retrieval (con’t) Enter a URL (con’t) (6) Server services request by sending back the “what” part (7) TCP connection closed (8) Browser renders text portion of HTML (9) Browser repeats steps for in-line image files (10) Browser displays images as retrieved World Wide Wait Congestion issues and delays caused frustration Resulted from popularity Reasons: Increase in Internet users - why? Elaborate Web pages contain images, sounds, video clips World Wide Wait (con’t) World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) issues: “Save the Internet from the Web” Improving process of connecting New techniques to expedite Web page requests Refining how URL resolved Web page design suggestions: Avoid unnecessary graphics Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) PNG instead of GIF Issues and Predictions Intranets Cost Inexpensive – time to charge more?
