The Network Core

the fundamental
question: how is data
transferred through net?

call: telephone net
packet-switching: data
sent thru net in
discrete chunks

Introduction 1-28

reserved for call

Introduction 1-29
Network Core: Circuit Switching

(e.g., bandwidth) into pieces
divided into pieces frequency division
pieces allocated to calls time division

not used by owning call
(no sharing)

Introduction 1-31
Numerical example
How long does it take to send a file of
640,000 bits from host A to host B over a
circuit-switched network?
All links are 1.536 Mbps
Each link uses TDM with 24 slots/sec
500 msec to establish end-to-end circuit

Lets work it out!

Introduction 1-32
Network Core: Packet Switching
each end-end data stream resource contention:
divided into packets aggregate resource
user A, B packets share demand can exceed
network resources amount available
each packet uses full link congestion: packets
bandwidth queue, wait for link use
resources used as needed store and forward:
packets move one hop
at a time
Bandwidth division into pieces Node receives complete
Dedicated allocation packet before forwarding
Resource reservation

Packet-switching: store-and-forward
L
R R R

takes L/R seconds to Example:

transmit (push out) L = 7.5 Mbits
packet of L bits on to R = 1.5 Mbps
link at R bps
transmission delay = 15
store and forward:
sec
entire packet must
arrive at router before
it can be transmitted
on next link
delay = 3L/R (assuming more on delay shortly

Introduction 1-35
 Packet switching versus circuit switching
Packet switching allows more users to use network!
1 Mb/s link
each user:
100 kb/s when active
active 10% of time

N users
circuit-switching: 1 Mbps link
10 users

packet switching:
with 35 users,
Q: how did we get value 0.0004?
probability > 10 active
at same time is less
than .0004
Introduction 1-36
 Packet switching versus circuit switching
Is packet switching a slam dunk winner?

great for bursty data

resource sharing
simpler, no call setup
excessive congestion: packet delay and loss
protocols needed for reliable data transfer,
congestion control
Q: How to provide circuit-like behavior?
bandwidth guarantees needed for audio/video apps
still an unsolved problem (chapter 7)

Q: human analogies of reserved resources (circuit

switching) versus on-demand allocation (packet-switching)? Introduction 1-37

Nodal delay
d nodal d proc d queue d trans d prop

dproc = processing delay

typically a few microsecs or less

dqueue = queuing delay

depends on congestion

dtrans = transmission delay

= L/R, significant for low-speed links

dprop = propagation delay

a few microsecs to hundreds of msecs

R=link bandwidth (bps)

L=packet length (bits)
a=average packet
arrival rate

traffic intensity = La/R

La/R ~ 0: average queueing delay small

La/R -> 1: delays become large
La/R > 1: more work arriving than can be
serviced, average delay infinite!

What do real Internet delay & loss look like?

Traceroute program: provides delay
measurement from source to router along end-end
Internet path towards destination. For all i:
sends three packets that will reach router i on path
towards destination

Network Security
The field of network security is about:
how bad guys can attack computer networks
how we can defend networks against attacks
how to design architectures that are immune to
attacks
Internet not originally designed with
(much) security in mind
original vision: a group of mutually trusting
users attached to a transparent network
Internet protocol designers playing catch-up
Security considerations in all layers!

Introduction 1-66
Bad guys can put malware into
hosts via Internet
Malware can get in host from a virus, worm, or
trojan horse.

Spyware malware can record keystrokes, web

sites visited, upload info to collection site.

Infected host can be enrolled in a botnet, used

for spam and DDoS attacks.

Malware is often self-replicating: from an

infected host, seeks entry into other hosts

Introduction 1-67
Bad guys can put malware into
hosts via Internet
Trojan horse Worm:
Hidden part of some infection by passively
otherwise useful receiving object that gets
software itself executed
Today often on a Web self- replicating: propagates
page (Active-X, plugin) to other hosts, users
Virus Sapphire Worm: aggregate scans/sec
infection by receiving
in first 5 minutes of outbreak (CAIDA, UWisc data)

object (e.g., e-mail

attachment), actively
executing
self-replicating:
propagate itself to
other hosts, users
Introduction 1-68
 Bad guys can attack servers and
network infrastructure
Denial of service (DoS): attackers make resources
(server, bandwidth) unavailable to legitimate traffic
by overwhelming resource with bogus traffic
1. select target
2. break into hosts
around the network
(see botnet)
3. send packets toward
target from target
compromised hosts

Introduction 1-69
The bad guys can sniff packets
Packet sniffing:
broadcast media (shared Ethernet, wireless)
promiscuous network interface reads/records all
packets (e.g., including passwords!) passing by

A C

src:B dest:A payload

B
Wireshark software used for end-of-chapter
labs is a (free) packet-sniffer
Introduction 1-70
The bad guys can use false source
addresses
IP spoofing: send packet with false source address

Introduction 1-71
The bad guys can record and

Introduction 1-74
Internet History
1961-1972: Early packet-switching principles

1961: Kleinrock - queueing 1972:

theory shows ARPAnet public demonstration
effectiveness of packet-
NCP (Network Control Protocol)
switching
first host-host protocol
1964: Baran - packet-
first e-mail program
switching in military nets
ARPAnet has 15 nodes
1967: ARPAnet conceived
by Advanced Research
Projects Agency
1969: first ARPAnet node
operational

Introduction 1-75
 Internet History
1972-1980: Internetworking, new and proprietary nets
1970: ALOHAnet satellite Cerf and Kahns internetworking
network in Hawaii principles:
1974: Cerf and Kahn - minimalism, autonomy - no
architecture for internal changes required
interconnecting networks to interconnect networks
1976: Ethernet at Xerox best effort service model
PARC stateless routers

ate70s: proprietary decentralized control

architectures: DECnet, SNA, define todays Internet

XNA architecture
late 70s: switching fixed
length packets (ATM
precursor)
1979: ARPAnet has 200 nodes

Introduction 1-76
Internet History
1980-1990: new protocols, a proliferation of networks

1983: deployment of new national networks:

TCP/IP Csnet, BITnet,
1982: smtp e-mail NSFnet, Minitel
protocol defined 100,000 hosts
1983: DNS defined connected to
for name-to-IP- confederation of
address translation networks
1985: ftp protocol
defined
1988: TCP congestion
control
Introduction 1-77
Internet History
1990, 2000s: commercialization, the Web, new apps

Early 1990s: ARPAnet Late 1990s 2000s:

decommissioned
more killer apps: instant
1991: NSF lifts restrictions on messaging, P2P file sharing
commercial use of NSFnet
network security to
(decommissioned, 1995)
forefront
early 1990s: Web
est. 50 million host, 100
hypertext [Bush 1945, Nelson million+ users
1960s]
backbone links running at
HTML, HTTP: Berners-Lee Gbps
1994: Mosaic, later Netscape
late 1990s:
commercialization of the Web

Introduction 1-78
Internet History

2007:
~500 million hosts
Voice, Video over IP
P2P applications: BitTorrent
(file sharing) Skype (VoIP),
PPLive (video)
more applications: YouTube,
gaming
wireless, mobility
