such as World Wide Web, e-mail, and audio or video playback T1-Lecture-4 Ahmed Mumtaz Mustehsan Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc 1-6 Internet Network Architecture Metropolitan Area Exchanges (MAEs), T1-Lecture-4 Ahmed Mumtaz Mustehsan Network Access Points (NAPs) Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc 1-7 Internet Network Architecture Concepts Backbone: ◦ High-bandwidth fiber-optic cable networks ◦ Private networks owned by a variety of Network Service Providers (NSPs) ◦ Bandwidth: 155 Mbps 2.5 Gbps ◦ Built-in redundancy Network Service Provider (NSP) Owns and controls one of the major networks comprising the Internet’s backbone Bandwidth measures how much data can be transferred over a communications medium within a fixed period of time; is usually expressed in bits per second (bps), kilobits per second (Kbps), megabits per second (Mbps),or gigabits per second (Gbps) Redundancy Multiple duplicate devices and paths in a network T1-Lecture-4 Ahmed Mumtaz Mustehsan Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc 1-8 Internet Network Architecture Concepts Internet Exchange Points (IXPs) Hubs where backbones intersect with regional and local networks, and backbone owners connect with one another (older term NAPS) Campus area networks (CANs) LANs operating within a single organization that leases Internet access directly from regional or national carrier such as New York University or Microsoft Corporation T1-Lecture-4 Ahmed Mumtaz Mustehsan Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc 1-9 Internet Network Architecture Concepts Internet Service Providers (ISPs) Provide lowest level of service to individuals, small businesses, some institutions Narrowband the traditional telephone modem connection, now operating at 56.6 Kbps broadband refers to any communication technology that permits clients to play streaming audio and video files at acceptable speed generally anything above 100 Kbps Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) a telephone technology for delivering high-speed access through ordinary telephone lines found in homes or businesses T1-Lecture-4 Ahmed Mumtaz Mustehsan Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc 110 Internet Network Architecture Concepts Cable modem A cable television technology that piggybacks digital access to the Internet on top of the analog video cable providing television signals to a home T1 Line an international telephone standard for digital communication that offers guaranteed delivery at 1.54 Mbps T3 an international telephone standard for digital communication that offers guaranteed delivery at 45 Mbps Satellite bulk transfers at variable rates (250 Kbps–1 Mbps) T1-Lecture-4 Ahmed Mumtaz Mustehsan Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc 111 Intranets and Extranets Intranet (Internal network) A TCP/IP network located within a single organization for purposes of communications and information processing e.g Intranet of CIIT Extranet (external network) Formed when firms permit outsiders to access their internal TCP/IP networks e.g General Motors permits parts suppliers to gain access to GM’s intranet Note: Intranets and extranets generally not involve commercial transactions in a marketplace, however, extranets supports certain types of B2B exchanges T1-Lecture-4 Ahmed Mumtaz Mustehsan Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc 112 Who Governs the Internet? Promoters of internet claim that no one governs internet as it is public domain and inherently above and beyond the law However, there are certain organization that influence Internet and monitor its operations such as : Internet Architecture Board (IAB) Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) Internet Engineering Steering Group (IESG) Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) Internet Society (ISOC) World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) International Telecommunications Union (ITU) T1-Lecture-4 Ahmed Mumtaz Mustehsan Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc 113 Limitations of current Internet Infrastructure Bandwidth limitations: Backbone, MAN,CAN & last-mile Quality of service limitations Latency : delays in messages caused by the uneven flow of information packets through the network “best-effort” quality of service (QoS), which makes no guarantees about when or whether data will be delivered, Network architecture limitations Downloading same music by thousands of clients slows down network performance as the same music track is sent out a thousand times to clients that might be located in the same metropolitan area Language development limitations HTML, the language of Web pages, is fine for text and simple graphics, but poor at defining and communicating “rich documents,” such as databases, business documents, or graphics Wired Internet limitations Copper cables use a old technology, and fiber-optic cable is expensive to place underground The wired nature of the Internet T1-Lecture-4 Ahmed Mumtaz Mustehsan Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc restricts mobility of users as compared to wifi 114 The Internet2® Project Consortium of 200+ universities, government agencies, and private businesses collaborating to find ways to make the Internet more efficient, faster, reliable and affordable GigaPoP : a regional Gigabit Point of Presence, or point of access to the Internet2 network, that supports at least one gigabit (1 billion bits) per second information transfer Primary goals: Create leading edge very-high speed network for national research community Enable revolutionary Internet applications Ensure rapid transfer of new network services and applications to broader Internet community T1-Lecture-4 Ahmed Mumtaz Mustehsan Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc 115 The Larger Internet II Technology Environment: GENI Initiative Global Environment for Networking Innovations (GENI) Initiative to develop new core functionality for the Internet, including new naming, addressing and identity architectures;
