Queuing, processing, propagation, transmission 104 Packet loss v queue (aka buffer) preceding link in buffer has finite capacity v packet arriving to full queue dropped (aka lost) v lost packet may be retransmitted by previous node, source end system, or not at all buffer (waiting area) packet being transmitted A B packet arriving to full buffer is lost 105  Throughput § throughput: rate (bits/time unit) at which bits are being sent from sender to receiver instantaneous: rate at given point in time average: rate over longer period of time link capacity pipe that can carry linkthat pipe capacity can carry Rsfluid bits/sec at rate R c bits/sec fluid at rate serverserver, sends with bits (Rs bits/sec) (Rc bits/sec) (fluid) fileinto of Fpipe bits to send to client 106 Throughput Rs < Rc What is average end-end throughput? Rs bits/sec Rc bits/sec Rs > Rc What is average end-end throughput? Rs bits/sec Rc bits/sec bottleneck link link on end-end path that constrains end-end throughput 107 Throughput: network scenario § per-connection end-end Rs throughput: Rs Rs min(Rc,Rs,R/10) § in practice: Rc or Rs is R often bottleneck Rc Rc Rc 10 connections (fairly) share backbone bottleneck link R bits/sec 108 Introduction: summary covered a “ton” of material! v Internet overview v what’s a protocol? v network edge, core, access network § packet-switching versus circuit-switching § Internet structure v performance: loss, delay, throughput v Next Week § Protocol layers, service models § Application Layer End of Week 1 109
