The network edge: q end systems (hosts): m m m run application programs e. g. Web, email at “edge of network” q client/server model m m client host requests, receives service from always-on server e. g. Web browser/server; email client/server q peer-peer model: m m minimal (or no) use of dedicated servers e. g. Ka. Za. A Introduction 11

The Network Core q mesh of interconnected routers q the fundamental question: how is data transferred through net? m circuit switching: dedicated circuit per call: telephone net m packet-switching: data sent thru net in discrete “chunks” Introduction 15

Network Core: Circuit Switching End-end resources reserved for “call” q link bandwidth, switch capacity q dedicated resources: no sharing q circuit-like (guaranteed) performance q call setup required Introduction 16

Network Core: Circuit Switching network resources (e. g. , bandwidth) divided into “pieces” q pieces allocated to calls q dividing link bandwidth into “pieces” m frequency division m time division q resource piece idle if not used by owning call (no sharing) Introduction 17

Circuit Switching: FDM and TDM Example: FDM 4 users frequency time TDM frequency time Introduction 18

Network Core: Packet Switching each end-end data stream divided into packets q user A, B packets share network resources q each packet uses full link bandwidth q resources used as needed Bandwidth division into “pieces” Dedicated allocation Resource reservation resource contention: q aggregate resource demand can exceed amount available q congestion: packets queue, wait for link use q store and forward: packets move one hop at a time m Node receives complete packet before forwarding Introduction 20

Packet Switching: Statistical Multiplexing 10 Mb/s Ethernet A B statistical multiplexing C 1. 5 Mb/s queue of packets waiting for output link D E Sequence of A & B packets does not have fixed pattern statistical multiplexing. Introduction 21

Packet switching versus circuit switching Packet switching allows more users to use network! q 1 Mb/s link q each user: m 100 kb/s when “active” m active 10% of time q circuit-switching: m 10 users N users 1 Mbps link q packet switching: m with 35 users, probability > 10 active less than. 0004 Introduction 22

Packet switching versus circuit switching Is packet switching a “slam dunk winner? ” q Great for bursty data m resource sharing m simpler, no call setup q Excessive congestion: packet delay and loss m protocols needed for reliable data transfer, congestion control q Q: How to provide circuit-like behavior? m bandwidth guarantees needed for audio/video apps m still an unsolved problem Introduction 23

Packet-switching: store-and-forward L R q Takes L/R seconds to R transmit (push out) packet of L bits on to link (R bps) q Entire packet must arrive at router before it can be transmitted on next link: store and forward q delay = 3 L/R R Example: q L = 7. 5 Mbits q R = 1. 5 Mbps q delay = 15 sec Introduction 24

Packet-switched networks: forwarding q Goal: move packets through routers from source to destination m we’ll study several path selection (i. e. routing) algorithms (chapter 4) q datagram network: m destination address in packet determines next hop m routes may change during session m analogy: driving, asking directions q virtual circuit network: m each packet carries tag (virtual circuit ID), tag determines next hop m fixed path determined at call setup time, remains fixed thru call m routers maintain per-call state Introduction 25

How do loss and delay occur? packets queue in router buffers q packet arrival rate to link exceeds output link capacity q packets queue, wait for turn packet being transmitted (delay) A B packets queueing (delay) free (available) buffers: arriving packets dropped (loss) if no free buffers Introduction 48

Four sources of packet delay q 1. nodal processing: m check bit errors m determine output link q 2. queueing m time waiting at output link for transmission m depends on congestion level of router transmission A propagation B nodal processing queueing Introduction 49

Delay in packet-switched networks 3. Transmission delay: q R=link bandwidth (bps) q L=packet length (bits) q time to send bits into link = L/R transmission A 4. Propagation delay: q d = length of physical link q s = propagation speed in medium (~2 x 108 m/sec) q propagation delay = d/s Note: s and R are very different quantities! propagation B nodal processing queueing Introduction 50

Caravan analogy (more) 100 km ten-car caravan toll booth q Cars now “propagate” at 1000 km/hr q Toll booth now takes 1 min to service a car q Q: Will cars arrive to 2 nd booth before all cars serviced at 1 st booth? 100 km toll booth q Yes! After 7 min, 1 st car at 2 nd booth and 3 cars still at 1 st booth. q 1 st bit of packet can arrive at 2 nd router before packet is fully transmitted at 1 st router! Introduction 52

Nodal delay q dproc = processing delay m typically a few microsecs or less q dqueue = queuing delay m depends on congestion q dtrans = transmission delay m = L/R, significant for low-speed links q dprop = propagation delay m a few microsecs to hundreds of msecs Introduction 53

Queueing delay (revisited) q R=link bandwidth (bps) q L=packet length (bits) q a=average packet arrival rate traffic intensity = La/R q La/R ~ 0: average queueing delay small q La/R -> 1: delays become large q La/R > 1: more “work” arriving than can be serviced, average delay infinite! Introduction 54
