PPP, SLIP • Store-and-forward transmission: packets A B C e. g. token ring • Datagram packet switching: destination address in packet • also, LAN, WAN, ATM (virtual circuit switching), wireless CSCI 1106, Fall 2008 2

Review of components • Hosts – Considered a “node” or “end point” in the network (client/server/printer) – Processes all levels of the protocol stack • Hubs – acts as an “extender” - similar in effect to taking all incoming lines and twisting the wires together – Does not do any processing - acts only at the physical layer • Bridges – attaches two physically identical LANs together, physical layer processing – forwards only traffic which is destined for “the other side” • Switches – depending on level of switch complexity, anywhere from a hub to a router • Routers – Processing at the Network layer – Route packets between networks with potentially different lower level protocol stacks (i. e. , different physical and data link layers) • Gateways – Processes all levels of the protocol stack – Used to connect networks with different protocol stacks CSCI 1106, Fall 2008 8

Layer Application Presentation Session Transport Network Data link Physical Description Protocols that are designed to meet the communication requirements of specific applications, often defining the interface to a service. Protocols at this level transmit data in a network representation that is independent of the representations used in individual computers, which may differ. Encryption is also performed in this layer, if required. At this level reliability and adaptation are performed, such as detection of failures and automatic recovery. This is the lowest level at which messages (rather than packets) are handled. Messages are addressed to communication ports attached to processes, Protocols in this layer may be connection-oriented or connectionless. Transfers data packets between computers in a specific network. In a WAN or an internetwork this involves the generation of a route passing through routers. In a single LAN no routing is required. Responsible for transmission of packets between nodes that are directly connected by a physical link. In a WAN transmission is between pairs of routers or between routers and hosts. In a LAN it is between any pair of hosts. The circuits and hardware that drive the network. It transmits sequences of binary data by analogue signalling, using amplitude or frequency modulation of electrical signals (on cable circuits), light signals (on fibre optic circuits) or other electromagnetic signals (on radio and microwave circuits).

What is a protocol `A protocol is a set of rules governing message interchanges which occur between a number of computers in a distributed system; each of these messages implement functions of the system. A protocol is also used to establish a connection and allow entities to exchange data about themselves, for example the operating system they are using and the format of the data that they intend passing; this is known as a handshake. ‘ D.

Routing and congestion control Send information of nodes and links to each node of the network. This might include some physical properties such as maximal size of packets, typical time delays, … Build map of network Use routing algorithm to build routing tables for example: OSPF (Open Shortest Path First) if every router uses the same algorithm and maps they build consistent tables Hierarchical Routing: `use local map to get to the highway, use highway map to get to your destination town, use local map to get to your friends house’. More sophisticated routing on `highway’ (BGP, Border Gateway Protocol) How is congestion controlled? CSCI 1106, Fall 2008 27

How is congestion controlled? Flow control TCP Destination publishes maximal acceptable window size in reply message Source destination discovers congestion from unusually long delay times of response additive increase, multiplicative decrease CSCI 1106, Fall 2008 28

HTTP: Hyper Text Transfer Protocol • Lightweight protocol that browsers and servers use to communicate with one another • On top of (in the application layer of) the TCP/IP model • HTTP session begins when a client’s browser requests a Web page. Once the server responds by sending the page requested, the HTTP session ends CSCI 1106, Fall 2008 33

client request: Server response: GET /index. html HTTP/1. 1 User-Agent: Lynx/2. 4 Connection: Keep-Alive Host: www. openaccess. com Accept: text/html HTTP/1. 1 200 OK Date: Thu, 22 July 1998 18: 40: 55 GMT Server: Apache 1. 3. 5 (Unix) PHP/3. 0. 6 Last-Modified: Mon, 19 July 1997 16: 03: 22 GMT Content-Type: text/html Content-Length: 12987. . . MIME type (Multipurpose Internet Mail Extension) CSCI 1106, Fall 2008 34

HTTP is stateless!!! • stateless because every request that a browser makes opens a new connection that is immediately closed after the document is returned • even a web page with many objects (graphics, sound, video, etc) requires separate HTTP requests for each object • each operation is unaware of any other connection • the server cannot maintain state information about successive requests easily CSCI 1106, Fall 2008 35

Web client/server communication • Like any other client/server application, web browsers and servers need a way to: 1. Locate each other so they can send requests and responses back and forth • Uniform Resource Locator (URL) 2. Communicate with one another • Hypertext Transport Protocols (HTTP) (See networking section) CSCI 1106, Fall 2008 36

Interactivity • HTML is a presentation language – not a programming language • controls the appearance of the information on the client’s screen but does not support processing or manipulating information • early web browsers were limited to displaying static pages • But … many business applications require interactivity Client-side & server-side processing CSCI 1106, Fall 2008 37

Semantic Web stack CSCI 1106, Fall 2008 47

From http: //www. w 3. org/2001/sw/ Semantic Web The Semantic Web provides a common framework that allows data to be shared and reused across application, enterprise, and community boundaries. It is a collaborative effort led by W 3 C with participation from a large number of researchers and industrial partners. It is based on the Resource Description Framework (RDF), which integrates a variety of applications using XML for syntax and URIs for naming. "The Semantic Web is an extension of the current web in which information is given well-defined meaning, better enabling computers and people to work in cooperation.
