    Study Notes

    Introduction to Computer Networks

    • A computer network is a collection of interconnected computing hardware devices facilitating communication and resource sharing.
    • Interconnections can occur through various mediums: copper wires, fiber optics, microwaves, infrared, or communication satellites.
    • Networks are categorized by size and scope: Local Area Network (LAN), Metropolitan Area Network (MAN), and Wide Area Network (WAN).
    • Key difference between a computer network and a distributed system: a distributed system presents itself as a single coherent system to users, while a computer network exposes actual machines.

    Uses of Computer Networks

    • Business Applications: Focus on resource sharing, like accessing databases remotely from client machines to servers, forming the client-server model.
    • Home Applications: Include accessing remote information, person-to-person communication, and e-commerce.
    • Mobile Users: Wireless technology enables connection for mobile devices, enhancing functionalities like wireless parking meters and smart utility meters.
    • Social Issues: Networking can raise ethical and social concerns, particularly around communication platforms like newsgroups and bulletin boards.

    Direction of Data Flow

    • Simplex: One-way communication, e.g., an optical fiber where data flows in a single direction.
    • Half Duplex: Two-way communication, but one direction at a time, e.g., a single railroad track.
    • Full Duplex: Simultaneous two-way communication, e.g., a two-lane road.

    Networks

    Distributed Processing

    • A distributed network comprises various networks that can be managed jointly or separately, distributing processing and data communication.
    • Operates under a client/server architecture where a central server provides resources for multiple remote users.

    Network Criteria

    • Network Performance: Important for achieving desired functionality; affected by the number of users and type of transmission medium.
    • Network Reliability: Measured by failure frequency, recovery time from failures, and protection from disasters.
    • Network Security: Essential for safeguarding against viruses and unauthorized access; measures include antivirus software and firewalls.

    Goals of Computer Network

    • Resource Sharing: Ensures data and equipment are available regardless of location.
    • High Reliability: Enables replication of files on multiple machines to ensure availability.
    • Cost Savings: Allows centralized data storage on shared file server machines leading to economic efficiencies.
    • Increased System Performance: Can improve by adding processors as workloads grow.

    Different Types of Network Topologies

    • Star Configuration: Central processor connected to multiple terminals.
    • Tree Configuration: Hierarchical structure with central and remote concentrators.
    • Ring Configuration: Connects terminals in a loop, allowing data to travel in either direction.
    • Mesh Configuration: Fully interconnected remote concentrators with a central processor.
    • Bus Configuration: Linear connection where only one machine can send data at a time.

    Categories of Network Hardware

    • Broadcast Links: Single communication channel shared by all machines; allows messages to be sent to all or a subgroup (multicasting).
    • Point-to-Point Links: Direct connections between individual pairs of machines; often more common in larger networks.

    Local Area Networks (LANs)

    • LANs are privately owned networks restricted in size, typically within a building or campus, mainly for sharing resources and information exchange.
    • Characterized by their transmission technology, architecture, and size, with speeds ranging from 10 Mbps to 10 Gbps in newer models.### Network Types and Topologies
    • Line speeds measured in megabits/sec (1 Mbps = 1,000,000 bits/sec) and gigabits/sec (1 Gbps = 1,000,000,000 bits/sec).
    • Bus topology allows only one machine to transmit at a time; requires an arbitration mechanism to resolve conflicts.
    • IEEE 802.3 (Ethernet) operates at speeds of 10 Mbps to 10 Gbps and features decentralized control, allowing computers to retransmit after collisions.
    • Ring topology has each bit traveling independently, with methods like token passing to manage access.
    • IEEE 802.5 (IBM token ring) operates at 4 and 16 Mbps.

    Metropolitan Area Network (MAN)

    • Covers city-wide areas, connecting multiple LANs for shared resources and services.
    • MANs may be privately owned or provided by public companies.
    • Typical examples include cable television networks that evolved from community antenna systems.
    • Geographical coverage can range from several blocks to entire cities (up to 50 km).

    Wide Area Network (WAN)

    • Spans large geographical areas like countries or continents, composed of hosts connected by a communication subnet.
    • Hosts owned by customers; subnet typically owned by phone companies or ISPs.
    • Subnet comprises transmission lines (copper wire, fiber optics) and switching elements (routers).
    • Packets transmitted between hosts follow a store-and-forward method, which involves stopping and routing at intermediate routers.
    • Packet-switching technology allows multiple communications to share routes non-dedicated paths.

    History of the Internet

    • Conceptual development driven by individuals like Vannevar Bush, Norbert Wiener, and events like the 1956 Dartmouth conference.
    • ARPANET launched in 1969 with the first protocols established for communication.
    • TCP/IP protocol replaced early protocols in 1983, becoming the global standard for networking.
    • Growth accelerated in the 1990s, leading to the transfer of management from government to independent organizations in 1995.

    Current State of the Internet

    • The Internet is a global network enabling communication and access to resources via different types of devices (PCs, mobile devices, appliances).
    • Access through Internet Service Providers (ISPs) who connect end systems using various bandwidth methods (dial-up, broadband, etc.).
    • Routers play a crucial role, forwarding packets across the network based on routing algorithms.
    • The Internet employs packet-switching to efficiently manage multiple communications over shared paths.

    Internet Protocol Standards

    • The Internet operates using protocols like TCP and IP, which define packet formats and manage data transmission.
    • Standards are maintained by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) via RFCs (Request for Comments), establishing protocols for data handling.
    • The Internet provides connection-oriented reliable service and connectionless unreliable service for application communications.
    • Private networks (intranets) utilize similar protocols and structures as the public Internet but are restricted in communication with external hosts.

    Network Software Structure

    • Network software is organized hierarchically in layers, each offering different services and abstraction from implementation details.
    • Protocols define how communication proceeds between layers and devices, ensuring data is passed correctly through the network stack.
    • Clear interfaces between layers facilitate the implementation and modification of network systems without altering services provided to higher layers.
    • A network architecture comprises the arrangement and protocols of layers, crucial for building or programming each layer effectively.### Architecture and Protocols
    • Implementation details and interface specifications are not included in system architecture; they are hidden within machines.
    • Machines in a network can utilize different interfaces, as long as they adhere to the required protocols.
    • A protocol stack consists of a list of protocols used by a system, one per layer of the network architecture.
    • Layer 3 protocol limits message sizes, often requiring Layer 3 to divide larger messages into smaller packets with headers.
    • At Layer 2, each packet receives additional headers and trailers before reaching Layer 1 for physical transmission.
    • Received messages move upward through layers, stripping off headers without passing lower layers' headers to the higher ones.

    Key Design Issues in Layers

    • Addressing: Each layer requires a method for identifying senders and receivers; essential in networks with many computers and processes.
    • Data Transfer: Protocols determine data directionality (one-way or two-way) and manage multiple logical channels for different data types.
    • Error Control: Essential for communication accuracy; both ends must agree on error-detection/correction methods and maintain message order.
    • Flow Control: Prevents fast senders from overwhelming slow receivers through feedback mechanisms or transmission rate limits.
    • Multiplexing and Demultiplexing: Enables the handling of long messages by breaking them into smaller parts and combining smaller messages for efficiency.
    • Routing: Involves selecting the best path for data across multiple options, influenced by high-level and low-level decisions.

    Connection-Oriented vs Connectionless Services

    • Connection-Oriented Service:

      • Modeled after telephone systems; requires a pre-established connection.
      • Maintains the sequence of packets; messages are consistently delivered in the order sent.
      • Often includes parameter negotiation regarding message size and quality of service.

    • Connectionless Service:

      • Modeled after postal systems; each message has a complete address and operates independently.
      • Does not guarantee the order of packet delivery; efficiency emphasized over reliability.
      • Acknowledgements for reliable delivery increase overhead; suitable for applications like file transfer that require accuracy.
      • Variants include message sequences (preserving message boundaries) and byte streams (no message boundaries).
      • More appropriate for applications such as voice or video conferencing where delays are undesirable, but some data loss is acceptable.

    Applications and Reliability Considerations

    • Reliable connection-oriented services cater to applications requiring data integrity, like file transfers, while managing message boundaries.
    • Connectionless services benefit users who need to send short messages without establishing a connection, trading off complete reliability.
    • Datagram service refers to unreliable connectionless service, likening it to telegrams which do not require sender acknowledgements.
