“…now, when we face a choice between
adding features and resolving security
issues, we need to choose security.”

Internet Technologies
An example of how the system works*
Assume:
FTP is our application example.
Ethernet is the underlying technology at
the data link layer.

Original Internet Principles

End-to-End Design: Based on the assumption that
end-points can trust one another.
 To move the functionality
 away from the network,
and,
 towards the edges of the system.
 Reduces the complexity of the network.
 Reduces the cost of future upgrades
 New applications can be added without modifying
the network.

Original Internet Principles




Packet Switched Communication facility
Different Networks connected through
Routers (used essentially for routing only).
Internet communication to continue despite
loss of networks or routers.
Cater to distributed management of
resources.
6
Original Internet Principles (continued)



Addresses that are simple, hierarchical and
that can be overloaded for both naming a
node and for routing to it.
Higher level functionality at the edges and
dumb network
A single data delivery service (IP) to cater to
both connectionless, unreliable datagram
service (UDP) as well as to a reliable stream
service (TCP).
7
New Environment

Untrustworthy end-points



More demanding applications



Denial of service attacks
Spam e-mails
Requirement for high throughput
Requirement for guaranteed delivery (e.g. audio
or streaming video)
ISPs view wide BW and/or guaranteed data
transport services as a competitive
differentiator.
8
New Environment
Islands of wide BW and/or guaranteed
service along with content servers,
designed for technologists.
Responses to the new environment:



Modify the end-nodes
Add functions to the core of the network



Firewalls
NATs
Traffic Filters


Round Trip Delay (RTT)
Most RTTs are within 70-160 ms
ITU-T G.114: limit RTT to 300 ms or less
However…Surveys show some people tolerate
large RTTs of 800 ms


Packet Loss
Very bursty
Affects contiguous packets
Order of Packet Arrival
Studies underway, but…Paxson study shows out-of
sequence arrival not unusual

Packet Loss




Data transmission: masked by TCP
Audio/Video: ears and eyes catch it
Audio System: G.T23.1 masks a loss of
up to 10% if the loss is random and
independent. It uses the previous
packet to simulate the lost packet.
But the packet loss in Internet is bursty.
14
Packet Loss


Forward Error Correction system: uses
the technology used in mobile wireless
system --by sending many copies of the
coded voice. If even one copy arrives
safely, the operation is effective.
Since UDP is used for audio/video, the
out-of-sequence arrival is also a
problem.
