    Study Notes

    Basic Terms

    • Key terminology introduced in the lecture covers fundamental concepts necessary for understanding network architecture and applications.

    Composition of the Internet

    • The Internet is primarily composed of a vast array of interconnected networks and devices, enabling global communication.

    Network Applications

    • Examples of network applications include web browsing, email services, and online gaming, highlighting the diverse functionalities supported by the Internet.

    Components of End-to-End Delay

    • End-to-end delay encompasses various components such as transmission delay, propagation delay, queuing delay, and processing delay.

    Focus on Internet Architecture

    • The lecture emphasizes understanding the design principles, functionalities, and protocols that make up the Internet architecture.

    Logical and Physical Architectures

    • Logical architecture describes the protocols and data flows in the Internet, while physical architecture refers to the actual hardware and infrastructure utilized.

    Examples of End Systems or Hosts

    • Examples of end systems, or hosts, include personal computers, smartphones, and servers, representing devices that communicate over the Internet.

    Components of End-to-End Delay

    • Main components of end-to-end delay include:
      • Transmission Delay: Time taken to push all bits of a packet into the wire.
      • Propagation Delay: Time for a signal to travel from the sender to the receiver.
      • Queuing Delay: Time waiting in a queue before being transmitted.
      • Processing Delay: Time taken to process the packet header and forward it.

    Focus on Network Core

    • The primary focus regarding the network core highlights the infrastructure and protocols critical for routing data efficiently across the networks.

    'Nuts and Bolts' View of the Internet

    • The 'nuts and bolts' view of the Internet entails a detailed examination of the fundamental hardware and software components that enable Internet functionality and connectivity.
