Simple example
Starting Point: Want to send bits between 2 computers
•
•
•
•
FIFO (First-in First-out) queue (buffer) on each end
Can send both ways (“full duplex”)
Name for standard group of bits sent: “packet”
Packet format and rules for communicating them (“protocol”)
Simple request/response protocol and packet format:
header
payload
0/1
data/address
0: please send the data word at “address”
1: here is the data word you asked for.

Questions about simple example
•
What if more than 2 computers want to communicate?
– Need an interconnect? Need computer address field in packet?
•
What if the machines are far away?
– WAN vs LAN
•
How do multiple machines share the interconnect?
– multiple paths? arbitration? congestion control?
•
What if a packet is garbled in transit?
– Add error detection field in packet?
•
What if a packet is lost?
– More elaborate protocols to detect loss?
•
What if multiple processes per machine?
– one queue per process? separate field in packet to identify process?
•
Warning: You are entering a buzzword-rich
environment!!!

Protocols
•
•
A protocol defines the format of packets and the rules
for communicating them across the network.
Different protocols provide different levels of service:
–
–
–
–
–
•
simple error correction (ethernet)
uniform name space, unreliable best-effort datagrams (host-host) (IP)
reliable byte streams (TCP)
unreliable best-effort datagrams (process-process) (UDP)
multimedia data retrieval (HTTP)
Crucial idea: protocols leverage off of the capabilities
of other protocols.

Protocol layering

code and OS code
(Application program

Protocols provide specialized services by
relying on services provided by lowerlevel protocols (I.e., they leverage lowerlevel services).

Network performance measures
•
Link bandwidth
– throughput measure
expressed as rate
» MB/s = 220 bytes/sec
» Mb/s = 106 bits/sec
– transfer rate across link
•
Bisection bandwidth
– smallest achievable
throughput if network is
cut in half
•
Latency
– elapsed time (s, ms, etc)
– time to cross network
•
Overhead
– another latency measure
– time to snd/rcv first byte.

Theoretical limit for modulated signals is approx 35 Kb/s:
Shannon's law: max bits/s = H log2(1 + S/N), where H is
bandwidth
and S/N is signal to noise ratio. For phone network, H~3,600 bps
and 10 log10 (S/N) = 30 dB. Thus max rate is ~35 Kb/s.

– Asymmetric: home to SP uses conventional v.34 modem
– SP has digital connection into phone system
» Channel sending 8000 samples / second, up to 8-bits/sample
– DAC encodes each sample with 92 or 128 voltage levels
» Not enough precision on analog side to handle finer resolution
– Receiver converts samples back to digital values
» Must match frequency & phase of senders DAC
» Establish using “training” signals from sender

Connecting nearby computers
using Ethernet
•
History
– 1976- proposed by Metcalfe and Boggs at Xerox PARC
– 1978 - standardized by Xerox, Intel, DEC
•
Bandwidth
– 10 Mbits/sec (old) , 100 Mbits/sec (current), 1GB/s (new)
•
Key features
– broadcast over shared bus (the ether)
» no centralized bus arbiter
» each adapter sees the same bit stream
– each adapter has a unique (for all time!) 48-bit address
– variable length frames (packets) (64 - 1518 bytes)

Ethernet receiving algorithm
•
•
Ethernet adapter receives all frames.
Accepts:
– frames addressed to its own address
– frames addressed to broadcast address (all 1’s).
– frames addressed to multicast address (1xxx...), if it has
been instructed to listen to that address
– all frames, if it has placed in promiscuous mode
•
Passes to the host OS (via the exception
mechanism) only those packets it accepts.
Lecture 4, 20-755: The Internet, Summer 1999
25
Ethernet sending algorithm (CSMA/CD)
•
•
•
Problem: how to share one wire without centralized
control.
Ethernet solution: Carrier Sense Multiple Access with
Collision Detection (CSMA/CD):
1. Adapter has frame to send and line is idle:
– then send frame immediately
•
2. When adapter has frame to send and line is busy:
– wait for line to become idle, then send frame immediately.
•
3. If “collision” (simultaneous sends) occurs during
transmission:
–
–
–
–
send at least 1024 bits
send “jam signal” to notify receivers
wait some period of time (binary exponential backoff)
retry

Binary exponential backoff algorithm:

• after 2nd collision, wait 0, 1, 2, or 3 contentio slots at
random.
• etc up to 1023 slots.
• after 16 collisions, exception.

Why the 64 byte minimum packet size?
Assume propagation delay from A to B is tau microseconds (us).
A sends to B at time 0
A
B
packet almost at B at
time tau-eps
A
B
For ethernet, 2*tau is specified by standard
(2500 m cable w/ 4 repeaters) to be 51.2 us,
which at 10 Mb/s is 512 bit times, or 64 bytes.
Rough estimate: propagation through copper
is about 20 cm/ns. With a 2500 m cable,
tau is 12.5 us and 2*tau is 25 us.
B sends at time tau: collision
A
Conclusion: Senders must take more
than 2*tau seconds to send their packets.
B
As speeds increase there are two possibilities:
1. increase packet sizes
2. decrease maximum cable length
A
Noise burst gets back to A at
time 2*tau
Lecture 4, 20-755: The Internet, Summer 1999
B
Neither is particularly appealing.

Ethernet pros and cons
•
Pros:
– simple
– robust
– cheap ($50/adapter in 1998)
•
Cons:
– no quality of service guarantees
» OK for data
» not always OK for real-time bit streams like video or
voice
– fixed bit rate
» not keeping up with faster processors
» workstations can produce data at 10-50 MBytes/sec
– prone to congestion
» processors getting faster
» bridged Ethernets can help

The internetworking idea
(Kahn, 1972)
•
Build a single network (an interconnected set of
networks, or internetwork, or internet) out of a large
collection of separate networks.
– Each network must stand on its own, with no internal changes
allowed to connect to the internet.
– Communications would be on a best-effort basis.
– “black boxes” (later called routers) should be used to connect the
networks.
– No global control at the operations level.
Lecture 4, 20-755: The Internet, Summer 1999
32
Internetworking challenges
•
Challenges:
– heterogeneity
» lots of different kinds of networks (Ethernet, FDDI,
ATM, wireless, point-to-point)
» how to unify this hodgepodge?
– scale
» how to provide uniques names for potentially billions
of nodes? (naming)
» how to find all these nodes? (forwarding and routing)
•
Note: internet refers to a general idea, Internet
refers to a particular implementation of that
idea (The global IP Internet).

Internetworking with repeaters:
Pros and cons
•
Pros
– Transparency
» LANS can be connected without any awareness from
the hosts.
– Useful for serving multiple machines in an office from
one ethernet outlet.
•
Cons
– Not scalable
» ethernet standard allows only 4 repeaters.
» more than 4 would introduce delays that would break
contention detection.
– No heterogeneity
» Networks connected with repeaters must have
identical electrical properties.

Learning algorithm:
1. start with empty hash table T that maps hosts to ports
2. receive frame from host src on port p
3. add (src,p) to T
4. delete old entries
Forwarding algorithm:
1. receive frame f from host src to host dst on port p
2. if T(dst) = n/a then flood f.
else if T(dst) = p then discard f
else forward f on port T(dst).

Internetworking with bridges:
Pros
and
cons
• Pros
– Transparency
» LANS can be connected without any awareness from the hosts
» popular solution for campus-size networks
•
Cons
– Transparency can be misleading
» looks like a single Ethernet segment, but really isn’t
» packets can be dropped, latencies vary
– Homogeneity
» can only support networks with identical frame headers (e.g.,
Ethernet/FDDI)
» however, can connect different speed Ethernets
– Scalability
» tens of networks only
– bridges forward all broadcast frames
– increased latency

Next we physically connect one of the computers, called a router
(in this case computer C), to each of the networks.

Finally, we run a software implementation of the Internet Protocol (IP)
on each host and router. IP provides a global name space for the hosts,
routing messages between network1 and network 2 if necessary.

At this point we have an internet consisting of 6 computers built from
2 original networks. Each computer on our internet can communicate
with any other computer. IP provides the illusion that there is just
one network.
