Introduction to Computer Networks
Computer Networks
Computer
network
connects two or more
autonomous computers.
The computers can be
geographically located
anywhere.
Introduction to Computer Networks
LAN, MAN & WAN
Network in small geographical Area (Room, Building
or a Campus) is called LAN (Local Area Network)
Network in a City is call MAN (Metropolitan Area
Network)
Network spread geographically (Country or across
Globe) is called WAN (Wide Area Network)
Introduction to Computer Networks

Introduction to Computer Networks
Network Topology
The network topology
defines the way in
which
computers,
printers,
and
other
devices are connected.
A network topology
describes the layout of
the wire and devices as
well as the paths used
by data transmissions.
Introduction to Computer Networks
Bus Topology
Commonly referred to
as a linear bus, all the
devices on a bus
topology are connected
by one single cable.
Introduction to Computer Networks
Star & Tree Topology
The star topology is the most
commonly used architecture in
Ethernet LANs.
When
installed,
the
star
topology resembles spokes in
a bicycle wheel.
Larger networks use the
extended star topology also
called tree topology. When
used with network devices that
filter frames or packets, like
bridges, switches, and routers,
this
topology
significantly
reduces the traffic on the wires
by sending packets only to the
wires of the destination host.
Introduction to Computer Networks
Ring Topology
A frame travels around the ring,
stopping at each node. If a node
wants to transmit data, it adds the
data as well as the destination
address to the frame.
The frame then continues around
the ring until it finds the
destination node, which takes the
data out of the frame.
Single ring – All the devices on
the network share a single cable
Dual ring – The dual ring topology
allows data to be sent in both
directions.
Introduction to Computer Networks
Mesh Topology
The mesh topology
connects all devices
(nodes) to each other
for redundancy and
fault tolerance.
It is used in WANs to
interconnect LANs and
for
mission
critical
networks like those
used by banks and
financial institutions.
Implementing the mesh
topology is expensive
and difficult.

Introduction to Computer Networks
Networking Media
Networking media can
be defined simply as
the means by which
signals (data) are sent
from one computer to
another (either by cable
or wireless means).

Introduction to Computer Networks
Computers: Clients and Servers
In
a
client/server
network arrangement,
network services are
located in a dedicated
computer whose only
function is to respond
to the requests of
clients.
The server contains the
file, print, application,
security, and other
services in a central
computer
that
is
continuously available
to respond to client
requests.

OSI Model
OSI MODEL
OSI Model
Communication Architecture
Strategy for connecting host computers and other
communicating equipment.
Defines necessary elements for data communication
between devices.
A communication architecture, therefore, defines a
standard for the communicating hosts.
A programmer formats data in a manner defined by
the communication architecture and passes it on to
the communication software.
Separating communication functions adds flexibility,
for example, we do not need to modify the entire
host software to include more communication
devices.
OSI Model
Layer Architecture
Layer architecture simplifies the network design.
It is easy to debug network applications in a layered
architecture network.
The network management is easier due to the
layered architecture.
Network layers follow a set of rules, called protocol.
The protocol defines the format of the data being
exchanged, and the control and timing for the
handshake between layers.
OSI Model
Open Systems Interconnection
(OSI) Model
International
standard
organization
(ISO)
established a committee in 1977 to develop an
architecture for computer communication.
Open Systems Interconnection
model is the result of this effort.
(OSI)
reference
In 1984, the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI)
reference model was approved as an international
standard for communications architecture.
Term “open” denotes the ability to connect any two
systems which conform to the reference model and
associated standards.
OSI Model
OSI Reference Model
The OSI model is now considered the primary
Architectural
model
for
inter-computer
communications.
The OSI model describes how information or data
makes its way from application programmes (such
as spreadsheets) through a network medium (such
as wire) to another application programme located
on another network.
The OSI reference model divides the problem of
moving information between computers over a
network medium into SEVEN smaller and more
manageable problems .
This separation into smaller more manageable
functions is known as layering.
OSI Model
OSI Reference Model: 7 Layers
OSI Model
OSI: A Layered Network Model
The process of breaking up the functions or tasks of
networking into layers reduces complexity.
Each layer provides a service to the layer above it in
the protocol specification.
Each layer communicates with the same layer’s
software or hardware on other computers.
The lower 4 layers (transport, network, data link and
physical —Layers 4, 3, 2, and 1) are concerned with
the flow of data from end to end through the network.
The upper four layers of the OSI model (application,
presentation and session—Layers 7, 6 and 5) are
orientated more toward services to the applications.
Data is Encapsulated with the necessary protocol
information as it moves down the layers before
network transit.
OSI Model
Physical Layer
Provides physical interface for transmission of
information.
Defines rules by which bits are passed from one
system to another on a physical communication
medium.
Covers all - mechanical, electrical, functional and
procedural - aspects for physical communication.
Such characteristics as voltage levels, timing of
voltage changes, physical data rates, maximum
transmission distances, physical connectors, and
other similar attributes are defined by physical layer
specifications.
OSI Model
Data Link Layer
Data link layer attempts to provide reliable
communication over the physical layer interface.
Breaks the outgoing data into frames and
reassemble the received frames.
Create and detect frame boundaries.
Handle errors by implementing an acknowledgement
and retransmission scheme.
Implement flow control.
Supports points-to-point as well as broadcast
communication.
Supports simplex, half-duplex or full-duplex
communication.
OSI Model
Network Layer
Implements routing of frames (packets) through the
network.
Defines the most optimum path the packet should
take from the source to the destination
Defines logical addressing so that any endpoint can
be identified.
Handles congestion in the network.
Facilitates interconnection between heterogeneous
networks (Internetworking).
The network layer also defines how to fragment a
packet into smaller packets to accommodate
different media.
OSI Model
Transport Layer
Purpose of this layer is to provide a reliable
mechanism for the exchange of data between two
processes in different computers.
Ensures that the data units are delivered error free.
Ensures that data units are delivered in sequence.
Ensures that there is no loss or duplication of data
units.
Provides connectionless or connection oriented
service.
Provides for the connection management.
Multiplex multiple connection over a single channel.
OSI Model
Session Layer
Session layer provides mechanism for controlling the
dialogue between the two end systems. It defines how to
start, control and end conversations (called sessions)
between applications.
This layer requests for a logical connection to be
established on an end-user’s request.
Any necessary log-on or password validation is also
handled by this layer.
Session layer is also responsible for terminating the
connection.
This layer provides services like dialogue discipline
which can be full duplex or half duplex.
Session layer can also provide check-pointing
mechanism such that if a failure of some sort occurs
between checkpoints, all data can be retransmitted from
the last checkpoint.
OSI Model
Presentation Layer
Presentation layer defines the format in which the
data is to be exchanged between the two
communicating entities.
Also handles data compression and data encryption
(cryptography).
OSI Model
Application Layer
Application layer interacts with application
programs and is the highest level of OSI model.
Application layer contains management functions to
support distributed applications.
Examples of application layer are applications such
as file transfer, electronic mail, remote login etc.
OSI Model
OSI in Action
A message begins at the top
application layer and moves down
the OSI layers to the bottom
physical layer.
As the message descends, each
successive OSI model layer adds a
header to it.
A
header
is
layer-specific
information that basically explains
what functions the layer carried
out.
Conversely, at the receiving end,
headers are striped from the
message as it travels up the
corresponding layers.

Copper Media: Twisted Pair
Twisted-pair is a type of
cabling that is used for
telephone communications
and most modern Ethernet
networks.
A pair of wires forms a
circuit that can transmit
data. The pairs are twisted
to
provide
protection
against crosstalk, the noise
generated by adjacent pairs.
There are two basic types,
shielded twisted-pair (STP)
and unshielded twisted-pair
(UTP).
Physical Media
Shielded Twisted Pair (STP)
Physical Media
Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP)
Physical Media
Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP)
Consists of 4 pairs (8 wires) of
insulated copper wires typically
about 1 mm thick.
The wires are twisted together in a
helical form.
Twisting reduces the interference
between pairs of wires.

Physical Media
Categories of UTP
UTP comes in several categories that are based on
the number of twists in the wires, the diameter of the
wires and the material used in the wires.
Category 3 is the wiring used primarily for telephone
connections.

Cabling Rules
Try to avoid running cables parallel to power cables.
Do not bend cables to less than four times the diameter of the
cable.
If you bundle a group of cables together with cable ties (zip
ties), do not over-cinch them. You should be able to turn the tie
with fingers.
Keep cables away from devices which can introduce noise into
them. Here's a short list: copy machines, electric heaters,
speakers, printers, TV sets, fluorescent lights, copiers, welding
machines, microwave ovens, telephones, fans, elevators,
motors, electric ovens, dryers, washing machines, and shop
equipment.
Avoid stretching UTP cables (tension when pulling cables
should not exceed 25 LBS).
Do not run UTP cable outside of a building. It presents a very
dangerous lightning hazard!
Do not use a stapler to secure UTP cables. Use telephone
wire/RJ6 coaxial wire hangers which are available at most
hardware stores.

LAN Technologies
Ethernet CSMA/CD
CSMA/CD (carrier sense multiple access with
collision detection) media access protocol is used.
Data is transmitted in the form of packets.
Sense channel prior to actual packet transmission.
Transmit packet only if channel is sensed idle;
else, defer the transmission until channel becomes
idle.
After packet transmission is started, the node
monitors its own transmission to see if the packet
has experienced a collision.
If the packet is observed to be undergoing a
collision, the transmission is aborted and the
packet is retransmitted after a random interval of
time using Binary Exponential Backoff algorithm.
LAN Technologies
Ethernet Address
End nodes are identified by their Ethernet
Addresses (MAC Address or Hardware Address)
which is a unique 6 Byte address.
MAC Address is represented in Hexa Decimal format
e.g 00:05:5D:FE:10:0A
The first 3 bytes identify a vendor (also called prefix)
and the last 3 bytes are unique for every host or
device

A repeater receives a signal, regenerates it, and
passes it on.
It can regenerate and retime network signals at the
bit level to allow them to travel a longer distance on
the media.
It operates at Physical Layer of OSI
The Four Repeater Rule for 10-Mbps Ethernet should
be used as a standard when extending LAN
segments.
This rule states that no more than four repeaters can
be used between hosts on a LAN.
This rule is used to limit latency added to frame
travel by each repeater.
Repeater, Hub, Bridge & Switch
Hub
Hubs are used to connect
multiple nodes to a single
physical
device,
which
connects to the network.
Hubs are actually multiport
repeaters.
Using a hub changes the
network topology from a
linear bus, to a star.
With hubs, data arriving over
the cables to a hub port is
electrically repeated on all
the other ports connected to
the same network segment,
except for the port on which
the data was sent.
Repeater, Hub, Bridge & Switch
Bridge
Bridges are used to logically separate
network segments within the same
network.
They operate at the OSI data link layer
(Layer 2) and are independent of higherlayer protocols.
The function of the bridge is to make
intelligent decisions about whether or
not to pass signals on to the next
segment of a network.
When a bridge receives a frame on the
network, the destination MAC address is
looked up in the bridge table to
determine whether to filter, flood, or
copy the frame onto another segment
Broadcast Packets are forwarded
Repeater, Hub, Bridge & Switch
Switch
Switches are Multiport Bridges.
Switches provide a unique network segment on each
port, thereby separating collision domains.
Today, network designers are replacing hubs in their
wiring closets with switches to increase their network
performance and bandwidth while protecting their
existing wiring investments.
Like bridges, switches learn certain information about
the data packets that are received from various
computers on the network.
Switches use this information to build forwarding
tables to determine the destination of data being sent
by one computer to another computer on the network.

IP Address
IP address is for the INTERFACE of a host. Multiple
interfaces mean multiple IP addresses, i.e., routers.
32 bit IP address in dotted-decimal notation for ease
of reading, i.e., 193.140.195.66
Address 0.0.0.0, 127.0.0.1
carries special meaning.
and
255.255.255.255

Subnet Mask
Consider IP address = 192.168.2.25
First few bits (left to right) identify network/subnet
Remaining bits identify host/interface
Number of subnet bits is called subnet mask, e.g.
Subnet IP Address range is 192.168.2.0
192.168.2.255 or Mask = 255.255.255.0
–
Subnet IP Address range is 192.168.2.0
192.168.2.15 or Mask = 255.255.255.240
–
Internet Protocol
IP Address, Subnet Mask and
Gateway
IP Address and Subnet Mask define the Subnet
For Example IP address 172.31.1.0 and Subnet Mask
of 255.255.240.0 means that the subnet address
ranges from 172.31.0.0 to 172.31.15.255
Another notation is 172.31.1.0/28
The first Address is the Network Address and the
last Address is the Broadcast Address. They are
reserved and cannot be assigned to any node.
The Gateway Address is the Address of the router
where the packet should be sent in case the
destination host does not belong to the same
subnet

All computers on subnet receive this request
Destination responds (ARP Reply) since it has
192.168.2.33
Provides its MAC address in response

IPv6
Internet Protocol Version 4 is the most popular
protocol in use today, although there are some
questions about its capability to serve the Internet
community much longer.
IPv4 was finished in the 1970s and has started to
show its age.
The main issue surrounding IPv4 is addressing—or,
the lack of addressing—because many experts
believe that we are nearly out of the four billion
addresses available in IPv4.
Although this seems like a very large number of
addresses, multiple large blocks are given to
government agencies and large organizations.
IPv6 could be the solution to many problems posed
by IPv4
Internet Protocol
IPv6
IPv6 uses 128 bit address instead of 32 bit address.
The IPv6 addresses are being distributed and are
supposed to be used based on geographical
location.
Routing
ROUTING
Routing
Router
A router is a device that determines the next
network point to which a packet should be
forwarded toward its destination
Allow different networks to communicate with each
other
A router creates and maintain a table of the
available routes and their conditions and uses this
information to determine the best route for a given
packet.
A packet will travel through a number of network
points with routers before arriving at its destination.
There can be multiple routes defined. The route with
a lower weight/metric will be tried first.

Description
Hub
Hubs are used to connect multiple users to a single physical device,
which connects to the network. Hubs and concentrators act as
repeaters by regenerating the signal as it passes through them.
Bridge
Bridges are used to logically separate network segments within the
same network. They operate at the OSI data link layer (Layer 2) and
are independent of higher-layer protocols.
Switch
Switches are similar to bridges but usually have more ports.
Switches provide a unique network segment on each port, thereby
separating collision domains. Today, network designers are replacing
hubs in their wiring closets with switches to increase their network
performance and bandwidth while protecting their existing wiring
investments.
Router
Routers separate broadcast domains and are used to connect
different networks. Routers direct network traffic based on the
destination network layer address (Layer 3) rather than the
workstation data link layer or MAC address.
VLAN
VLAN
VLAN
VLANs
VLANs (Virtual LAN) enable network managers to
group users logically (based on functions, project
teams or applications) rather than by physical
location.
Traffic can only be routed between VLANs.
VLANs provide the segmentation traditionally
provided by physical routers in LAN configuration.
VLAN
VLANs and Inter VLAN Routing
VLAN
Advantages of Using VLANs
Broadcast Control— Just as switches physically
isolate collision domains for attached hosts and only
forward traffic out a particular port, VLANs provide
logical bridging domains that confine broadcast and
multicast traffic to the VLANs.
Security— If you do not allow routing in a VLAN, no
users outside of that VLAN can communicate with the
users in the VLAN and vice versa. This extreme level of
security can be highly desirable for certain projects and
applications.
Performance— You can assign users that require highperformance or isolated networking to separate VLANs.

Private vs Public IP Addresses
Whatever connects directly into Internet must have
public (globally unique) IP address
There is a shortage of public IPv4 address
So Private IP addresses can be used within a
private network
Three address ranges are reserved for private
usage
10.0.0.0/8
172.16.0.0/16 to 172.31.0.0/16
192.168.0.0/24 to 192.168.255.0/24

SNMP
SNMP is based on the
manager/agent
model
consisting of a manager, an
agent,
a
database
of
management
information,
called as MIB.
The manager provides the
interface between the human
network manager and the
management system.
The agent provides the
interface
between
the
manager and the physical
device(s) being managed.
SNMP
SNMP
SNMP uses five basic messages (GET, GET-NEXT, GETRESPONSE, SET, and TRAP) to communicate between the
manager and the agent.
The GET and GET-NEXT messages allow the manager to
request information for a specific variable. The agent, upon
receiving a GET or GET-NEXT message, will issue a GETRESPONSE message to the manager with either the
information requested or an error indication as to why the
request cannot be processed.
A SET message allows the manager to request a change be
made to the value of a specific variable in the case of an alarm
remote that will operate a relay. The agent will then respond
with a GET-RESPONSE message indicating the change has
been made or an error indication as to why the change cannot
be made.
The TRAP message allows the agent to spontaneously inform
the manager of an ‘important’ event.

VPN
VPN
VPN is a private connection between two systems
or networks over a shared or public network
(typically Internet).
VPN technology lets an organization securely
extend its network services over the Internet to
remote users, branch offices, and partner
companies.
In other words, VPN turns the Internet into a
simulated private WAN.
VPN is very appealing since the Internet has a
global presence, and its use is now standard
practice for most users and organizations.
VPN
VPN
VPN
How VPN Works
To use the Internet as a private Wide Area Network,
organizations may have to address two issues :
First, networks often communicate using a variety of
protocols, such as IPX and NetBEUI, but the Internet
can only handle TCP/IP traffic. So VPN may need to
provide a way to pass non-TCP/IP protocols from
one network to another.
Second data packets traveling the Internet are
transported in clear text. Therefore, anyone who can
see Internet traffic can also read the data contained
in the packets. This is a problem if companies want
to use the Internet to pass important, confidential
business information.
VPN
How VPN Works
VPN overcome these obstacles by using a strategy
called Tunneling. Instead of packets crossing the
Internet out in the open, data packets are fist
encrypted for security, and then encapsulated in an
IP packet by the VPN and tunneled through the
Internet.
The VPN tunnel initiator on the source network
communicates with a VPN tunnel terminator on the
destination network. The two agree upon an
encryption scheme, and the tunnel initiator
encrypts the packet for security.
VPN
Advantages of Using VPN
VPN technology provides many benefits. Perhaps
the biggest selling point for VPN is cost savings.
One can avoid having to purchase expensive leased
lines to branch offices or partner companies. On
another cost-related note, you can evade having to
invest in additional WAN equipment and instead
leverage your existing Internet installation.
Another benefit of VPN is that it is an ideal way to
handle mobile users.

DNS Setup
DNS Operation
A DNS server maintains the name to IP address
mapping of the domain for which it is the name server.
The DNS server for a domain is registered with the
domain registrar and the entry is maintained by the
Internet Root-Servers (13) or Country Level RootServers.
Whenever a server is queried, if doesn’t have the
answer, the root servers are contacted.
The root servers refer to the DNS server for that
domain (in case the domain is a top level domain) or
the Country Root Server (in case the domain is
country level domain).

Internet Connections
Cost of connections is based on bandwidth
Cost of connection is a major part of network cost
Organisations only obtain as much bandwidth as they
can afford
Many organisations in Asia-Pacific only have 64kb/s –
2Mb/s connections (as compared to their counterpart
in US and Europe who have bandwidths of 2.4 Gbps –
10 Gbps)

A proxy is a host which relays web access requests
from clients
Used when clients do not access the web directly
Used for security,

Squid Setup
SQUID SETUP
Squid Setup
Obtaining Squid
Source code (in C) from www.squid-cache.org
Binary executables
Linux (comes with RedHat and others)
FreeBSD
Windows
Pre-installed in Fedora/Enterprise Linux
Squid Setup
Basic Settings
Edit the /etc/squid/squid.conf file to configure squid
Configuration options:
Disk Cache size and location
Authentication
Allowed Hosts
Any other access restrictions (sites, content, size,
time of access etc.) using ACL
service squid start/stop/restart
Squid Setup
Disc Requirements
Squid makes very heavy use of disc because of
heavy read/write in cache
Needs discs with low seek times
SCSI is better
Can spread cache over 2 or more discs
Raid not recommended
Cached data is not critical
Squid Setup
Calculating Disc Space
Recommend keeping at least 2 days worth of
objects
10 days may be better
Example:
256Kbps link loaded 10 hrs/day ~= 1GB
assume 50% cacheable - .5GB / day
2 days objects - 1GB
10 days objects - 5 GB
Squid Setup
Squid.conf Basic Configuration
cache_dir ufs /var/spool/squid/cache 100 16 256
auth_param basic program /usr/lib/squid/ncsa_auth
/etc/shadow
acl sidbiusers proxy_auth required
http_access allow sidbiusers
acl our_network src 172.28.250.0/24
http_access allow our_network
(Note: use squid –z for the first time to create the
cache directory and its subdirectories)
