Introduction 1-2
1.1 What’s the Internet: “nuts and bolts” view
• millions of connected
PC computing devices: mobile network
server • hosts = end systems
wireless • running network apps global ISP
laptop
smartphone communication links
coaxial cable, copper home
wire, optical fiber, radio network
regional ISP
wireless
spectrum, satellite
links transmission rate:
wired
links bandwidth (bits/second)
Packet switches: forward
packets (chunks of data)
routers used in the
router network core institutional
network
(link-layer) switches used
in access network
Introduction 1-3
1.1 What’s the Internet
: “Fun” internet appliances
Web-enabled toaster +
weather forecaster
IP picture frame

Tweet-a-watt:
monitor energy use
Slingbox: watch,
control cable TV remotely
Internet
refrigerator Internet phones
Introduction 1-4
1.1What’s the Internet: “nuts and bolts” view
mobile network
• Internet: “network of networks”
• Interconnected ISPs (e.g. residential,
corporate, university, WiFi) global ISP
Introduction 1-5
1.1 What’s the Internet: a service view
• Infrastructure that provides
mobile network
services to applications:
• Web, VoIP, email, games, e- global ISP
commerce, social nets, …
• provides programming home
interface to apps network
regional ISP
• hooks that allow sending and
receiving app programs to
“connect” to Internet
• provides service options,
analogous to postal service
institutional
network
Introduction 1-6
1.1. What’s the Internet: what’s a protocol?
human protocols: network protocols:
• “what’s the time?” • machines rather than
• “I have a question” humans
• introductions • all communication activity
in Internet governed by
protocols
… specific msgs sent
… specific actions taken protocols define format, order
when msgs received, or of msgs sent and received
other events
among network entities,
and actions taken on msg
transmission, receipt
Introduction 1-7
1.1. What’s the Internet: what’s a protocol?
a human protocol and a computer network protocol:
Hi TCP connection
request
Hi TCP connection
response

1.2 The Network Edge
: Access networks and physical media
Q: How to connect end
systems to edge router?
• residential access nets
• institutional access networks
(school, company)
• mobile access networks
keep in mind:
• bandwidth (bits per second)
of access network?
• shared or dedicated?
Introduction 1-10
1.2 The Network Edge
Access net: digital subscriber line (DSL)
central office telephone
network
DSL splitter
modem DSLAM
ISP
voice, data transmitted
at different frequencies over DSL access
dedicated line to central office multiplexer
DSL and cable are the most prevalent types of broadband residential access
use existing telephone line to central office DSLAM
data over DSL phone line goes to Internet
voice over DSL phone line goes to telephone net
< 2.5 Mbps upstream transmission rate (typically < 1 Mbps)
< 24 Mbps downstream transmission rate (typically < 10 Mbps)
The access is said to be “asymmetric”

Introduction 1-16
1.2 The Network Edge
Host: sends packets of data (p37 of the textbook)
Introduction 1-18
1.2 The Network Edge
Physical media: coax, fiber
coaxial cable: fiber optic cable:
• two concentric copper glass fiber carrying light pulses, each
pulse a bit
conductors
high-speed operation:
• common in cable TV high-speed transmission (e.g., 10’s-
systems 100’s Gpbs transmission rate)
low error rate:
• bidirectional
repeaters spaced far apart
• broadband: immune to electromagnetic noise
• achieves high data high cost of optical devices such as
transmission rate transmitters, receivers, and switches
• multiple channels on cable
• HFC
Introduction 1-19
1.2 The Network Edge
Physical media: radio
• signal carried in radio link types:
electromagnetic spectrum terrestrial microwave
• no physical “wire” e.g. up to 45 Mbps channels
LAN (e.g., WiFi)
• bidirectional 11Mbps, 54 Mbps
• depend significantly on the wide-area (e.g., cellular)
propagation environment: 3G cellular: ~ few Mbps
• reflection satellite
• obstruction by objects Kbps to 45Mbps channel (or
multiple smaller channels)
• interference
270 msec end-end delay
geosynchronous versus low
altitude
