Internet History and Growth

What Was the “Victorian Internet”?

What Was the “Victorian Internet”

• The Telegraph• Invented in the 1840s.• Signals sent over wires that were

established over vast distances• Used extensively by the U.S.

Government during the American Civil War, 1861 - 1865

• Morse Code was dots and dashes, or short signals and long signals

• The electronic signal standard of +/- 15 v. is still used in network interface cards today.

What Is the Internet?• A network of networks, joining many government,

university and private computers together and providing an infrastructure for the use of E-mail, bulletin boards, file archives, hypertext documents, databases and other computational resources

• The vast collection of computer networks which form and act as a single huge network for transport of data and messages across distances which can be anywhere from the same office to anywhere in the world.

The Internet

• The Internet is a global system of networked computers together with their users and data

What is the Internet?

• The largest network of networks in the world.• Uses TCP/IP protocols and packet switching .• Runs on any communications substrate.

We can access information using

electronic computers

We do it reliably with “bits”, sending and receiving data

We can do it cheaply by using Digital circuits etched in silicon.

We can accomplish a lot by having a vast network of computers to use for

accessing information and exchanging ideas

We will prove that packet switching works over a WAN.

Packet switching can be used to send digitized data though

computer networks

Hypertext can be used to allow rapid access to text data

From Simple, But Significant Ideas Bigger Ones Grow1970s to 1995

1970 1995

Ideas from1940s to 1969

We need a protocol for Efficient and Reliable transmission ofPackets over a WAN: TCP/IP

The ARPANET needs to convert to a standard protocol and be renamed to

The Internet

Computers connected via the Internet can be used more easily if hypertext links are enabled using HTML

and URLs: it’s called World Wide Web

The World Wide Web is easier to use if we have a browser thatTo browser web pages, running in a graphical user interface context.

Great efficiencies can be accomplished if we useThe Internet and the World Wide Web to conduct business.

Internet congestion

• Congestion Control and Quality of service are two issues so closely bound together that improving one means improving the other and ignoring one usually means ignoring the other.

• The main focus of congestion control and quality of service is data traffic. In congestion control we try to avoid traffic congestion. In quality of service, we try to create an appropriate environment for the traffic.

50

Internet congestion

• An important issue in a packet-switched network is congestion. Congestion in a network may occur if the load on the network-the number of packets sent to the network-is greater than the capacity of the network-the number of packets a network can handle. Congestion control refers to the mechanisms and techniques to control the congestion and keep the load below the capacity.

• Congestion happens in any system that involves waiting. For example, congestion happens on a freeway because any abnormality in the flow, such as an accident during rush hour, creates blockage.

51

Internet congestion

• Congestion in a network or internetwork occurs because routers and switches have queues-buffers that hold the packets before and after processing. A router, for example, has an input queue and an output queue for each interface. When a packet arrives at the incoming interface, it undergoes three steps before departing, as shown in Figure

52

Internet congestion

1. The packet is put at the end of the input queue while waiting to be checked.

2. The processing module of the router removes the packet from the input queue once it reaches the front of the queue and uses its routing table and the destination address to find the route.

3. The packet is put in the appropriate output queue and waits its turn to be sent.

We need to be aware of two issues. First, if the rate of packet arrival is higher than the packet processing rate, the input queues become longer and longer. Second, if the packet departure rate is less than the packet processing rate, the output queues become longer and longer.

53

Congestion Control

Congestion control refers to techniques and mechanisms that can either prevent congestion, before it happens, or remove congestion, after it has happened. In general, we can divide congestion control mechanisms into two broad categories: open-loop congestion control (prevention) and closed-loop congestion control (removal) as shown in Figure

54

What is Internet computing?

• Internet Computing (IC) is the area that studies the technologies of the Internet and Internet-based computing systems and applications.

• Internet is at the core of information revolution which changes the way we:– communicate: email, e-conferencing, Internet

telephony– do business: electronic commerce – learn: distance learning, digital library– work: Internet-supported collaborative work– play: video-on-demand,

network-based multi-player games

• A major trend in Internet computing is to use the Internet to enhance human-to-human interaction and communication.

55

What is collaborative computing?

• Collaborative Computing (CC) is the area that studies how to support human-to-human interaction and collaboration using computing technology.

• Collaborative computing represents a shift in emphasis from using computers to support the work of individual users to using computers to support interaction and collaboration of a group of users. In other words, CC is about how to use computers to support people working together.

• A major trend in collaborative computing is to develop Internet-based applications to support collaboration among geographically dispersed people. Representative systems: – Email– Collaborative editors(W.P)

56

What is collaborative Internet computing?

• Collaborative Internet Computing (CIC) is the area that studies the technologies and applications at the intersection of collaborative and Internet computing. In other words, CIC is about how to support people working together online.

• Three characteristic components of a CIC system:– Multiple collaborating users – Human-computer interaction interfaces– The Internet

Internet

57

One significant challenge

Consistency maintenance under the following constraints:

• High responsiveness:– response to local operations

is as short as single-user editors

– maximum delay is 100ms

• High concurrency:– concurrent edit any object at

any time– concurrent undo any

operation at any time

• Internet communication :– non-negligible (often over

100ms)

58

Internet Service Provider (ISP)

• An Internet service provider (ISP, also called Internet access provider or IAP) is a company that offers its customers access to the Internet. The ISP connects to its customers using a data transmission technology appropriate for delivering Internet Protocol datagram's, such as dial-up, DSL, cable modem or dedicated high-speed interconnects.

• ISPs may provide Internet e-mail accounts to users which allow them to communicate with one another by sending and receiving electronic messages through their ISPs' servers. (As part of their e-mail service, ISPs usually offer the user an e-mail client software package, developed either internally or through an outside contract arrangement.) ISPs may provide other services such as remotely storing data files on behalf of their customers, as well as other services unique to each particular ISP.

59

End-User-to-ISP Connection

ISPs employ a range of technologies to enable consumers to connect to their network.

• For home users and small businesses, the most popular options include dial-up, DSL (Digital Subscriber Line), broadband wireless, cable modem, fiber to the premises (FTTH).

• For customers with more demanding requirements, such as medium-to-large businesses, or other ISPs, DSL (often ADSL), Ethernet, Metro Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet, Frame Relay, ISDN , ATM, satellite Internet access and synchronous optical networking (SONET) are more likely to be used

60

End-User-to-ISP Connection

61

ISP Interconnection

Just as their customers pay them for Internet access, ISPs themselves pay upstream ISPs for Internet access. An upstream ISP usually has a larger network than the contracting ISP and/or is able to provide the contracting ISP with access to parts of the Internet the contracting ISP by itself.

62

ISPs

Virtual ISP (VISP) is an operation which purchases services from another ISP (sometimes called a "wholesale ISP") which allow the VISPs customers to access the Internet using services and infrastructure owned and operated by the wholesale ISP.

Free ISPs are Internet Service Providers (ISPs) which provide service free of charge. Many free ISPs display advertisements while the user is connected; like commercial television, in a sense they are selling the users' attention to the advertiser. Other free ISPs, often called freenets, are run on a nonprofit basis, usually with volunteer staff. There are also free shell providers and free web hosts.

63

What is DNS?

• DNS (Domain Name Service) is primarily used to translate human readable names into machine usable addresses, e.g., IP addresses.

•DNS goal:– Efficiently locate resources.– Scale to many users over a large area– Scale to many updates

64

Domain Name System Goals

• Basically a wide-area distributed database (The biggest in the world!)• Decentralized maintenance• Robustness

• Global scope Names mean the same thing everywhere– Strong consistency• Do need: distributed update/query & Performance

65

DOMAIN NAME SPACE

To have a hierarchical name space, a domain name space was designed. In this design the names are defined in an inverted-tree structure with the root at the top. The tree can have only 128 levels: level 0 (root) to level 127

66

Domain Name

Each node in the tree has a domain name. A full domain name is a sequence of labels separated by dots (.). The domain names are always read from the node up to the root. The last label is the label of the root (null). This means that a full domain name always ends in a null label, which means the last character is a dot because the null string is nothing. This Figure shows some domain names

67

Domain

A domain is a subtree of the domain name space. The name of the domain is the domain name of the node at the top of the subtree. Note that a domain may itself be divided into domains (or subdomains as they are sometimes called).

68

DNS IN THE INTERNET

DNS is a protocol that can be used in different platforms. In the Internet, the domain name space (tree) is divided into three different sections: generic domains, country domains, and the inverse domain

inverse domain generic domains country domain

Internet Address

The identified in the network layer of the Internet model to identify each device connected to the internet is called the Internet address or IP address. An IP address, in the current version of the protocol, is a 32-bit binary address that uniquely and universally defines the connection of a host or a router to the Internet.

An IP address is a 32-bit address.

Internet Address

IP addresses are unique, They are unique in the sense that each address defines one, and only one connection to the Internet. Two devices on the Internet can never have the same address at the same time. However if a device has two connection to the Internet, via two networks, it has two IP address.

The IP addresses are unique and universal

Internet Address

There are two common notation to show an IP address:Binary NotationDotted-Decimal Notation

Modems

• The need to communicate between distant computers led to the use of the existing phone network for data transmission. Most phone lines were designed to transmit analog information - voices, while the computers and their devices work in digital form - pulses. So, in order to use an analog medium, a converter between the two systems is needed. This converter is the MODEM which performs MODulation and DEModulation of transmitted data.

It accepts serial binary pulses from a device, modulates some property (amplitude, frequency, or phase) of an analog signal in order to send the signal in an analog medium, and performs the opposite process, enabling the analog information to arrive as digital pulses at the computer or device on the other side of connection.

CLASSIFICATION OF MODEMS

The modems can be classified according to their characteristics:1. Range 2. Line Type

Dial-upLeasedPrivate

3. Operation Mode Half DuplexFull DuplexSimplex

4. Data Rate

Types of Modems

•External vs. Internal Modems

ORCommunication software is used to provide remote access to systems and exchange files and real-time messages in text, audio and/or video formats between different computers or user IDs. This includes, file transfer programs, chat and instant messaging programs.

What is IPv6?

IPv6 is short for "Internet Protocol Version 6". IPv6 is the "next generation" protocol designed by the IETF to replace the current version Internet Protocol, IP Version 4 ("IPv4").

Most of today's internet uses IPv4, which is now nearly twenty years old. IPv4 has been remarkably resilient in spite of its age, but it is beginning to have problems. Most importantly, there is a growing shortage of IPv4 addresses, which are needed by all new machines added to the Internet.

IPv6

IPv6 has a much larger address space than IPv4. This results from the use of a 128-bit address, where IPv4 uses only 32 bits. The new address space thus supports 2128 (about 3.4×1038) addresses. This expansion provides flexibility in allocating addresses and routing traffic and eliminates the need for network address translation (NAT).

What is IPv6?

IPv6 fixes a number of problems in IPv4, such as the limited number of available IPv4 addresses. It also adds many improvements to IPv4 in areas such as routing and network autoconfiguration. IPv6 is expected to gradually replace IPv4, with the two coexisting for a number of years during a transition period.
