CCS2201 Introductions to Networks Fall 2023-2024 Lecture 2 Network Core Assoc. Prof. Hisham Dahshan 1  Introduction Overview. What is the Internet? What is a protocol? Network edge Network core: packet/circuit switching, internet structure Performance: loss, delay, throughput Protocol layers, service models Security History 2 The network core mesh of interconnected mobile network routers national or global ISP packet-switching: hosts break application-layer messages into packets local or network forwards packets regional ISP from one router to the next, home network content across links on path from provider network datacenter source to destination network enterprise network  Two key network-core functions routing algorithm Routing: Forwarding: local local forwarding forwarding table table  global action: aka “switching” header value output link determine source- local action: 0100 0101 3 2 destination paths move arriving packets from 0111 1001 2 1 taken by packets router’s input link to  routing algorithms appropriate 1 router output link 3 2 11 01 destination address in arriving 4 packet’s header  routing 5  forwarding forwarding 6  Packet-switching: store-and-forward source noitanitsed R bps spb R packet transmission delay: :elpmaxetakes laciremun poh-enO L/R seconds to transmit (push out) stibK 01 = L  L-bit packet into link at R bps spbM 001 = R  store and forward: entire yaled npacket oissimsnart poh-eno  must arrive at router before it can cesm 1.0 = be transmitted on next link Packet-switching: queueing C D s/bM 5.

Q: human analogies of reserved resources (circuit switching) versus on-demand allocation (packet switching)? 13  Internet structure: a “network of networks” hosts connect to Internet via mobile network access Internet Service national or global ISP Providers (ISPs) access ISPs in turn must be interconnected so that any two hosts local or (anywhere!) can send regional ISP packets to each other home network content resulting network of provider network networks is very complex datacenter network evolution driven by enterprise economics, national policies network Let’s take a stepwise approach to describe current Internet structure  Internet structure: a “network of networks” Question: given millions of access ISPs, how to connect them together? … access net access net … access net access access net net access access net net … … access access net net access net access net access net access net … access access … net access net net 15  Internet structure: a “network of networks” Question: given millions of access ISPs, how to connect them together? … access net access net … access net access access net … … net access access net net connecting each access ISP to … … each other directly doesn’t scale: O … access (N2) connections. access … net net access net access net access net access … access … … net access net access net net 16  Internet structure: a “network of networks” Option: connect each access ISP to one global transit ISP?
