Lecture 1: Introduction


2

OutlineOutline Agenda Policy, Grading, reading materials, etc. Communication. Overview and history of the Internet


3

Agenda To establish a base for future computer

network work and study. Review networking technologies, protocols. Finally, prepare to perform some projects

in computer networks which are essential in national development, designing and building switches, routers, etc.

Grading Homework assignments, around %30

3-4 five homework A small project. Severe late penalties!

Course involve programming on C/C++ in Unix environment.

Few small quizs around %10 Midterm exam around %30. Final exam around %30. There is a %40 cut off on total exam points.


6

Prerequisition

General knowledge in Computer engineering.

C programming. Knowledge of UNIX (LINUX) system

and programming. Fluency in English, specially

reading.


7

How to survive this course Materials sound simple and easy, but

they are not. Do not leave everything to the exam

night!. Not copy the homework!, try them by

yourself. You can read the course by yourself, but

the class makes the life for you easier.


8

Some Ground Rules Let’s make this educational and enjoyable. It’s a big class, I enjoy questions and ideas

from the class. Ask questions and raise points. Identify yourself when you ask questions. Listen to other people’s questions. Be here. Be here on time.


9

Communication as a human being need.

Base of community Collection of trees is not a community.

Transferring data, knowledge, experience among people Base of civilization.

Psycological need. Love, affection. Just talking. Releasing someone. Base of Culture.


10

Primary Communication means

Language Conventions

Body Language, Meta language. Universal.

Problems: Limited in Time (delay) and space

(domain). We are struggling all the history to

overcome these limitation.


11

Communication elements Producer, Sender

Speaker (in conversation) Consumer, Receiver

Listener They both do have processing-limitation

Message- Talk Transfer media, like air

Substance Capacity (very limited) Delay (considerable)


12

Type of communication One to one

Direct talk. One to many

Talks, conferencing Many to Many

Like mass media, new paper. Domain of communication

Small, primary society Medium, more developed society. Large, more advance society.


13

First Step- WritingFirst Step- Writing One of the most important human being

invention. (Why?) Overcome the primary limitations.

Time: By writing it down. Space: Distributing more copies, library, post, etc.

Problems: Indirect Communication, Through paper. Slow in producing and consuming Need proficiency Encoding message


14

Next Step- Mailing Distribute messages as fast as and as

far as possible. Overcome mostly space limitation, while

widen the domain of communication. Media- human being network system. Indirect communication. Encoded message Slow.


15

New wave- Telegraph In 1837, Samuel B. Morse invented it. Text message is encoded by dot and

dashed (binary, digital system). Message switching, human coding for

efficiency, and hop by hop routing. Fast transmission, (Time limitation) Slow production (25-30 word/min) The daily Telegraph.


16

Telephone In 1876, While working on multiplexing

telegraph, invented By A. Graham Bell. One to one, completely real time

communication. No need to proficiency. Fast, (time limitation) Easy to use or produce data. Exponential growths, 1000 in 1877 to

50,000 in 1880


17

Broadcast media Printing, news papers,

Easy to reproduce the same data. Easy to distribute message. Slow in producing and contribution.

Radio Easy to distribute message. Fast in producing and contribution of message. Limited of type of message, only voice.

TV All like radio, but with reach data.


18

Computer Network Fast in producing, processing, distributing

and consuming messages. No limitation in time and space. Support different type of communication.

Mass media, news group. One to many, mailing list. One to one, mail, chat, talk.

Support of different type of message, data Only problem, need proficiency.


19

History of the Internet 70’s: started as a research project, 56 kbps, < 100

computers 80-83: ARPANET and MILNET split, 85-86: NSF builds NSFNET as backbone, links 6

Supercomputer centers, 1.5 Mbps, 10,000 computers 87-90: link regional networks, NSI (NASA), ESNet(DOE),

DARTnet, TWBNet (DARPA), 100,000 computers 90-92: NSFNET moves to 45 Mbps, 16 mid-level networks 94: NSF backbone dismantled, multiple private backbones Today: backbones run at 10 Gbps, around160 millions

computers in 160 countries

Recent Growth (by 2004)


23

Services Provided by the Internet

Shared access to computing resources telnet (1970’s)

Shared access to data/files FTP, NFS, AFS (1980’s)

Communication medium over which people interact email (1980’s), on-line chat rooms, instant messaging

(1990’s) audio, video (1990’s)

replacing telephone network? A medium for information dissemination

USENET (1980’s) WWW (1990’s)

replacing newspaper, magazine? audio, video (1990’s)

replacing radio, CD, TV?


24

Today’s Vision

Everything is digital: voice, video, music, pictures, live events

Everything is on-line: bank statement, medical record, books, airline schedule, weather, highway traffic, toaster, refrigerator …

Everyone is connected: doctor, teacher, broker, mother, son, friends, enemies


25

What is Next? Electronic commerce

virtual enterprise Internet entertainment

interactive sitcom World as a small village

community organized according to interests

enhanced understanding among diverse groups


26

What is Next? Electronic democracy

little people can voice their opinions to the whole world

little people can coordinate their actions

bridge the gap between information haves and have-not’s

Electronic terrorism hacker can bring the whole world to

its knee


27

Industrial Players

Telephone companies own long-haul and access

communication links, customers Cable companies

own access links Wireless/Satellite companies

alternative communication links Utility companies: power, water,

railway own right of way to lay down more

wires
