“Selecting the Technology”
Virginia F. Kleist, Ph.D.
Chapter 3
Chapter 3 is about the hardware and software
infrastructure that enables the electronic
commerce web application to operate. This
chapter covers the basics of the internet
communications architecture, IP addresses,
software and some middleware applications. This
chapter, together with Chpt. 14, covers the
fundamentals of the tools that are required to build
a viable web presence, infrastructural, software
and payments mechanisms. The course has a
managerial component, a technology component
and a programming component, and these two
chapters are related to the technology component.

Transmission Control Protocol/Internet
Protocol (TCP/IP) (note: from Fitzgerald and Dennis, 2002)
• Developed in 1974 by Vint Cerf and Bob
Kahn as part of the Arpanet network
developed for the US Defense Department.
• TCP/IP is the protocol used by the Internet.
• Almost 70% of all backbone, metropolitan
and wide area networks use TCP/IP.
• In 1998, TCP/IP surpassed IPX/SPX to
become the most common protocol on local
area networks.
Introduction: The Network and Transport Layers
(note: from Fitzgerald and Dennis, 2002)
• The transport layer is responsible for end-to-end delivery
of outgoing messages from the application layer.
• The transport layer sets up virtual circuits (when
needed) and is also responsible for segmentation
(breaking the message into several smaller pieces) at the
sending end and reassembly (reconstructing the original
message into a single whole) at the receiving end.
• The network layer is responsible for addressing and
routing of the message.
• The network and transport layers also perform
encapsulation of message segments from the application
layer, passing them down to the data link layer on the
sending end and passing them up to the application layer
on the receiving end (see Figure 5-1).
IP Address Ipv4
• Class A networks 16,777,216 IP addresses
• Class B networks 65,536 IP addresses
• Class C networks 256 IP addresses

IPv4 Addresses
(note: from Fitzgerald and Dennis, 2002)
• IPv4, uses 4 byte (32 bit) addresses which is really
a string of 32 binary bits.
• To make IP addresses easier to understand for
human readers, dotted decimal notation is used.
• Dotted decimal notation breaks the address into
four bytes and writes each byte values digital
equivalent.
• An of an IP address in dotted decimal notation
would be: 128.192.56.1
