Postal Services



You have to write a complete address on
the envelope specifying the country, state,
city, district, street, and so on.
After put the letter put into the mailbox, it
will be delivered (routed) to its destination
in a hierarchical way.
HK Post Office knows the letter is sent to
US, without concerning the actual address
to be routed within US.

Basic Internet Structure


The Internet works in a similar way as
postal services.
Roughly speaking, you may consider US, UK,
HK, China and so on, as individual networks
connecting to each other.
– Each network is further divided into smaller subnetworks such as CUHK, HKU, UST, and so on.


CUHK has its academic departments, etc.
The different pieces of the Internet are
connected by a set of computers (Gateways)
– Translates between protocols

Postage over the Internet


When delivering information via the Internet, the
information is split into small units called data
packets (1500 byte each)
When a packet is sent from US to a particular
host in CUHK.







The packet is first delivered to Hong Kong,
then is further transmitted to CUHK,
then is further transmitted to the appropriate
department,
finally arrived to the specific host.
The data is reassembled at the destination.
The data packet is continuously being switched
from the source to destination.
The Internet is said to be Packet Switching
Network.

IP address




Each host in the Internet is assigned
to a specific and unique number for
identification.
This number is called the IP address
of the specific host.
This number is divided into 4 parts for
improving the readability.
The range of each number is between
0 and 255.
– E.g. 0.0.0.0
– 255.255.255.255

CSC1720 – Introduction to Internet
For example, the host
“orchid.cse.cuhk.edu.hk” has its IP
address of “137.189.91.60”
27
All copyrights reserved by C.C. Cheung 2003.
Network Number /
Host Number

IP addresses are split into 2 parts
– A network number + a host number


For example, 137.189 is the network
number of CUHK, 91.60 is the host number
of the host “orchid.cse.cuhk.edu.hk”
Network numbers are assigned by a central
authority, the Internet Corporation for
Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN).

Network Classes



There are 5 classes of IP address
Class A comprises networks 1.0.0.0 to
127.255.255.255, the network address is in
first quad. It allows roughly 16 million hosts
per network.
Class B comprises network 128.0.0.0 to
191.255.255.255, the network address is in
the first two quads. It allows for 16,382
networks with up to 64K hosts.

Network Classes


Class C comprises networks 192.0.0.0
to 223.255.255.255, with the network
number contained in the first three
quads. It allows about 2 million
networks with up to 254 hosts in each
network.
Class D and E are falling into the
range of 224.0.0.0 to 254.0.0.0 which
are reserved for multicast address and
for special purpose use.

Subnet




The Internet is structured hierarchically. CUHK
consists of many academic departments and
administrative bodies.
IP allows you to subdivide a network into several
subnets. E.g. CSE and CSC are two subnets inside
CUHK.
Each subnet is identified by a subnet number.
E.g. we have a different way to interpret the IP
address 137.189.91.60
– 137.189 refers to the network number of CUHK,
– 91 refers to the subnet number of CSE,
– 60 refers to the host number of “orchid”.

Dynamic Host Configuration
Protocol (DHCP)


A Protocol for assigning dynamic IP address
to devices on a network.
It is built on client and server models.
– Server is the machine running DHCPD.
– Client can be any network devices.

Advantage?

IP Routing


The process of transmitting a data
packet from the source to the
destination via a series of intermediate
stations is called “Routing”.
IP routing works as follow:
– Each data packet is labeled with IP
address of the destination host
137.189.90.184 1500 bytes Data here

Packets Are Not The Same Size

Packets may be any size up to the
maximum.
– Can be as small as a single keystroke
– Can be larger, depending on application
CSC1720 – Introduction to Internet
37

IP Routing



For example, when a packet is routing to
“orchid.cse.cuhk.edu.hk” (137.189.91.60),
the network number is extracted as 137.189
which is the network number of CUHK. The
packet is then sent to HK and then to CUHK.
Inside CUHK, the subnet number is
examined and it is 91 which is the subnet
number of CSE. Then it is sent to CSE.
Inside CSE, the host number is examined
and it is 60 which is the host number of
orchid. Finally, it is routed to the destination.
CSC1720 – Introduction to Internet
38

IP enough for routing?




A single packet is limited in length,
usually 1-1500 bytes.
Network may lose packets, or damage
the data in transit.
Packets may arrive out of sequence
(different routing path).
TCP is used to solve the problems.

Protocol and Addressing

To communicate over the Internet, the
computers must:
– use a common language or a protocol to govern
the exchange of messages.
– have a way to address one another.

Protocol:
– specifies exact format, order of messages sent
and received among network entities, and
actions taken on message transmission and
receipt.

Addressing:
– defines where to deliver the messages.

Protocol and Addressing

Internet has a large collections of protocols
organized in a layering model.
– Application: enables the user, whether human or
software, to access the network.
– Transport: responsible for source-to-destination
(end-to-end) data transfer.
– Network: responsible for routing packets from
source-to-dest across multiple networks.
– Data link: responsible for data transfer between
neighboring network elements.
– Physical: coordinates the functions required to
transmit a bit stream over a physical medium.

What is TCP/IP?


“TCP would be in charge of the breaking up
the packets and messages then
reassembling them at the destination, and
the IP would be responsible for transmitting
the individual packets. For example: the TCP
protocol would split up the letter and place
it into multiple envelops, while the IP
protocol would be in charge of addressing
the envelop and making sure it arrived at its
proper destination.”
– from “Where Wizards Stay Up Late”
CSC1720 – Introduction to Internet

TCP/IP




A protocol is a collection of rules for formatting,
ordering, and error-checking data sent across a
network.
In 1974, Vincent Cerf and Robert Kahn developed
the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) which was
further split into the Internet Protocol (IP) and TCP
in 1978.
In 1982, DoD adopted TCP/IP as the standard
protocol in the Internet.
Because the significance of TCP/IP in the history of
the Internet, Cerf and Kahn are considered to be
the Father of the Internet.

Transmission Control
Protocol - TCP

Basic functions
– Decompose a lengthy data into multiple
packets for transmission
– Error detection, ensure validity
– Packet loss?

No problem, packet retransmission
CSC1720 – Introduction to Internet
48
All copyrights reserved by C.C. Cheung 2003.
Sequence Numbers


TCP breaks the information into multiple
packets.
Each packet is associated with a sequence
number for identification.
137.189.90.184 Number 1 Data here
137.189.90.184 Number 2 Data here
137.189.90.184 Number 3 Data here


Each packet is individually routed in the
Internet, and arrive in random order.
The data is reassembled in the correct order
according to the sequence number.

49
All copyrights reserved by C.C. Cheung 2003.
Packet Retransmission



A packet may be lost during the
transmission across the Internet (host down,
link failure, … )
When the destination host has been waiting
for a particular packet for a certain time
(timeout), it will request the source host to
retransmit the packet.
There is no need to retransmit all data
packets. Instead, only the missing packet,
which is identified by the sequence number,
needs to be retransmitted.
CSC1720 – Introduction to Internet
50
All copyrights reserved by C.C. Cheung 2003.
Error detection Checksums


Transmission errors occur even if a data
packet is received by the destination
successfully.
How to ensure the data is correctly received?
– A method to detect possible transmission errors.
– At the destination, checksum is recalculated
based on the received data.
– The attached checksum and the newly
calculated checksum are compared. Mismatch
means there is transmission errors occurred.
