“what’s the time?” machines rather than
“I have a question” humans

when msgs received, order of msgs sent and
or other events received among network
entities, and actions
taken on msg
transmission, receipt

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

Introduction 1-18
The Network Core
mesh of interconnected
routers
the fundamental
question: how is data
transferred through net?
circuit switching:
dedicated circuit per
call: telephone net
packet-switching: data
sent thru net in
discrete “chunks”
Introduction 1-19
Network Core: Circuit Switching
End-end resources
reserved for “call”
link bandwidth, switch
capacity
dedicated resources:
no sharing
circuit-like
(guaranteed)
performance
call setup required
Introduction 1-20
Network Core: Circuit Switching
network resources dividing link bandwidth
(e.g., bandwidth) into “pieces”
divided into “pieces” frequency division
resource pieceidle if
not used by owning call
(no sharing)
Introduction 1-21
Circuit Switching: FDMA and TDMA
Example:
FDMA
4 users

TDMA

Introduction 1-22
Network Core: Packet Switching
each end-end data stream resource contention:
divided into packets aggregate resource
user A, B packets share demand can exceed
network resources amount available
each packet uses full link congestion: packets
bandwidth queue, wait for link use
resources used as needed store and forward:
packets move one hop at
a time
Bandwidth division into “pieces” transmit over link
Dedicated allocation wait turn at next link
Resource reservation
Introduction 1-23

D E
Sequence of A & B packets does not have fixed
pattern statistical multiplexing.
In TDM each host gets same slot in revolving TDM
frame.
Introduction 1-24
Packet switching versus circuit switching
Packet switching allows more users to use network!
1 Mbit link
each user:
100 kbps when “active”
active 10% of time
N users
circuit-switching:
1 Mbps link
10 users
packet switching:
with 35 users,
probability > 10 active
less than .0004
Introduction 1-25
Packet switching versus circuit switching
Is packet switching a “slam dunk winner?”
Great for bursty data
resource sharing
simpler, no call setup
Introduction 1-26
Packet-switched networks: forwarding
Goal: move packets through routers from source to
destination
we’ll study several path selection (i.e. routing)algorithms
(chapter 4)
datagram network:
destination address in packet determines next hop
routes may change during session
analogy: driving, asking directions

Message Segmenting
Now break up the message into
5000 packets
Each packet 1,500 bits
1 msec to transmit packet on one link
pipelining: each link works in parallel
Delay reduced from 15 sec to 5.002 sec
Introduction 1-54
More delays, and loss
packets queue in router buffers
packet arrival rate to link exceeds output link capacity
packets queue, wait for turn
Loss: too long a queue – will happen in circuit switching ?
packet being transmitted (delay)
B
packets queueing (delay)
free (available) buffers: arriving packets
dropped (loss) if no free buffers
Introduction 1-55

Introduction 1-64
Packet loss
queue (aka buffer) preceding link in buffer
has finite capacity
when packet arrives to full queue, packet is
dropped (aka lost)
lost packet may be retransmitted by
previous node, by source end system, or not
retransmitted at all
Any other possibility for loss ?
