This document discusses networking and the Internet. It covers network classifications based on size (LAN, MAN, WAN) and ownership (open, closed). It describes common network topologies like token ring and CSMA/CD. It also discusses how networks can be combined using repeaters, bridges, switches and routers. The document then covers Internet architecture, addressing using IP addresses and domain names, and traditional Internet applications like email, FTP, and the World Wide Web. It provides details on HTML, URLs, and the components of a typical web page.
5. PROTOCOLS
Token Ring
Messages passed in one direction
Each message ends back at original sender
6. PROTOCOLS (CONTINUED)
Carrier Sense, Multiple Access with Collision
Detection (CSMA/CD)
Message sent across common bus
Only intended recipient reads
On collision, each sender waits before re-sending
7. COMBINING NETWORKS
Repeater
Physically connects
two networks
Passes all traffic
May amplify signals
to compensate for
increased length
Bridge
Passes only
messages for
machines on a given
segment
8. COMBINING NETWORKS (CONTINUED)
Switch
Connects two or
more segments
Routes messages
only to segment
where recipient is
found
When using
repeaters, bridges,
or switches the result
is one large, homo-
geneous network
9. COMBINING NETWORKS (CONTINUED)
Router
Connects two or
more networks with
dissimilar topologies
Builds networks of
networks called
internets
13. THE INTERNET
Proper noun
Originated in Defense Advanced Research
Projects Agency (DARPA) in 1960’s
Shifted from government to academia to
commercial
14. INTERNET ARCHITECTURE
Domain: portion of the
Internet that network
or internet controlled
by a single authority
Connected to the rest
of the Internet by a
router called a gateway
Internet Corporation
for Assigned Names &
Numbers (ICANN):
Oversees the
registration of domains
15. STRATEGIES FOR CONNECTING TO THE
INTERNET
Internet Service Provider (ISP): Provides
connectivity to the Internet
Popular means of connecting:
Traditional telephone (dial up connection)
Cable connections
DSL
Wireless
Satelite
16. INTERNET ADDRESSING: IP ADDRESSES
Every computer on the Internet is assigned an
Internet Protocol (IP) Address
IPv4
32-bits (4 bytes)
232 = 4,294,967,296 unique addresses
“Dotted quads” xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
17. INTERNET ADDRESSING : IP ADDRESSES
(CONTINUED)
IPv6
128-bits (7 bytes)
2128 = 3.4 × 1038
5 × 1028 addresses for each of the 6.5 billion people
alive today
252 addresses for each star in the known universe
10 billion billion billion times as many addresses as IPv4
18. INTERNET ADDRESSING: HOST NAMES
Mnemonic address made up of two parts:
Domain name
Assigned by a registrar
Example: linnbenton.edu
Top level domain: Classification of domain owner
By usage – Example: .edu= education
By country – Example: .co.uk = England
Subdomains and individual host names
Assigned by domain owner
Example: ml.linnbenton.edu
Translation between mnemonic addresses and
IP addresses handled by name servers
19. TRADITIONAL INTERNET APPLICATIONS
World Wide Web (WWW)
Electronic mail
(E-mail)
File transfer protocol
(FTP)
Instant messaging (IM)
VOIP
Internet relay chat (IRC)
Telnet
Secure Shell (SSH)
Newsgroups
Archie
Early index of files
available on FTP sites
Gopher
Hierarchical menu-
based system for
document retrieval
(WWW-like)
Jughead
Search engine for
Gopher
Veronica
Another search engine
for gopher
21. THE WORLD WIDE WEB
Hypertext and HTTP
Hypertext markup language (HTML)
Hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP)
Browser gets documents from Web server
Web page
Documents identified by URLs
Uniform resource locator
World Wide Web Consortium (W3C)
Standards body
23. HTML
Set of tags used to identify elements of a web
page
Designed to be very simple to learn and use
<p>…</p>
<h1>…</h1>
<img src=“foo.jpg />
<a href=“http://www.linnbenton.edu” />
