Extenuating Circumstances
If you have difficulty meeting the requirements of this course, fail to hand in an assignment,
or miss an exam because of extenuating circumstances, please advise your instructor in
writing (not email) at the earliest possible date so that your situation can be discussed. If you
encounter an unexpected medical or family emergency or a random act of Nature that causes
you to miss the due date for homework or miss a quiz or exam, you must present suitable
documentation in writing (not email) to the instructor before special consideration will be
given.
A file of all written correspondence will be kept by the instructor and decisions
regarding them will be made at the end of the semester.

Introduction
A note on the use of these ppt slides:
We’re making these slides freely available to all (faculty, students, readers).
They’re in PowerPoint form so you see the animations; and can add, modify,
and delete slides (including this one) and slide content to suit your needs.
They obviously represent a lot of work on our part. In return for use, we only
ask the following:
 If you use these slides (e.g., in a class) that you mention their source
(after all, we’d like people to use our book!)
 If you post any slides on a www site, that you note that they are adapted
from (or perhaps identical to) our slides, and note our copyright of this
material.

Protocol “layers”
Networks are
complex,
with many “pieces”:
hosts
routers
links of various
media
applications
protocols
hardware, software
Dr. Philip Cannata
Question:
is there any hope of
organizing structure of
network?
…. or at least our
discussion of
networks?

layers: each layer implements a service
via its own internal-layer actions
relying on services provided by layer below

Why layering?
dealing with complex systems:
explicit structure allows identification,
relationship of complex system’s pieces
layered reference model for discussion
modularization eases maintenance, updating
of system
change of implementation of layer’s service
transparent to rest of system
e.g., change in gate procedure doesn‘t affect rest
of system
layering considered harmful?

Internet protocol stack
application: supporting network
applications
FTP, SMTP, HTTP
application
transport: process-process data
transfer
TCP, UDP
transport
network
network: routing of datagrams
from source to destination
link
IP, routing protocols
link: data transfer between
neighboring network elements
physical
Ethernet, 802.111 (WiFi), PPP
physical: bits “on the wire”

Introduction

ISO/OSI reference model
presentation: allow applications to
interpret meaning of data, e.g.,
encryption, compression, machinespecific conventions
session: synchronization,
checkpointing, recovery of data
exchange
Internet stack “missing” these
layers!
Dr. Philip Cannata
these services, if needed, must be
implemented in application
