  5. Internet: A Huge Success Story • From the original four-node ARPNET research experiment to today’s global information infrastructure

  6. Internet:a huge transformative & disruptive force! What has become of the Internet: Information Service and E-Commerce Platform deliver all kinds of information, news, music, video, shopping web, spotify, iTune, youtube, Netflix, Hulu, … Global Information Repository store and search for all kinds of information google, flickr, dropbox, icloud, … Cyberspace and Virtual Communities keep in touch with friends and strangers email, facebook, twitter, snapchat, … Enormous Super-Computer mobile, cloud computing and services We’re increasingly depending on it!

  7. Success of Today’s Internet Today’s Internet can be primarily characterized by its success as a (human-centric, content-oriented) information delivery platform Web access, search engine, e-commerce, social networking, multimedia (music/video) streaming, cloud storage, … users search for and interact with websites (or “content”), or interact with other users; users consume or generate information static vs. dynamic content Rise of web (and HTTP) – coupled with emergence of mobile technologies – led to cloud computing and CDNs Huge data centers with massive compute and storage capacities to store information, process user requests and generate content they desire CDNs with geographically distributed edge servers to “scale out” and facilitate “speedier” information delivery

  8. Low-tier High-tier Local Area Wide Area Low Mobility High Mobility More gadgets are plugged in … • smart mobile phones, iPads, e-readers, … • now TVs, thermostats, smart meters, etc., soon toasters, fridges, … • servers, desktops, laptops, … Wireless technologies revolutionizing Internet! • WiFi, bluetooth, 3/4G cellular networks, NFC, RFID, … mobile computing location services Internet of Things (IoT)

  9. Within the Internet Core • Large ISPs with large geographical span and • Large content providers with huge data centers • High capacity, dense and rich topology • Cloud Computing/Services and Mobile Computing

  10. CDN2 & its servers CDN1 & its servers CP2 data centers Content Distribution Ecosystem • Multiple major entities involved! • content providers (CPs), content distribution networks (CDNs), ISPs and of course, end systems & users • some entities may assume multiple roles • Complex business relationships: sometimes cooperative, but often competitive ISP CP1 data centers ISP ISP users media players

  11. Static Content Distribution: YouTube as a Case Study:world’s largest video sharing site • User interaction with content (e.g., search for a video) is separated from video delivery • Employs a combination of various “tricks” and mechanisms to scale with YouTube size & handle video delivery dynamics

  12. Static Content Distribution: • Has its own “data center” for certain crucial operations (e.g., user registration, …) • Most web-based user-video interaction, computation/storage operations are cloud-sourced to Amazon AWS • Users need to use MS Silverlight or other players for video streaming • Video delivery was/is partly out/cloud-sourced to 3 CDNs; • but now most utilizes its “own” OpenConnect boxes placed at participating ISPs, forming its own CDN Netflix as a Case Study: “first” large-scale cloud-sourcing success OpenConnect CDN

  13. Dynamic Content Distribution • Web search as (dynamic) content delivery – e-commerce, social networking services have similar architectures • response contains both static content (e.g., banner, css files) and dynamically generated search response (dynamic content) • User QoE metric: end-to-end search response time (SRT) • Generic Web Search System Architecture • backend data centers processing search queries & generating responses • front-end edge servers (CDN) handling search query delivery Back-end (BE) Data Centers • Google: deploy its own CDN • Bing: utilized Akamai CDN (it now also builds its own CDN) • Amazon and Facebook have also built its own CDNs Front-End (FE) Servers (Edge Cloud/CDN)

  14. Data Center Networks • 10’s to 100’s of thousands of hosts, often closely coupled, in close proximity: • e-business (e.g. Amazon) • content-servers (e.g., YouTube, Akamai, Apple, Microsoft) • search engines, data mining (e.g., Google) • challenges: • multiple applications, each serving massive numbers of clients • managing/balancing load, avoiding processing, networking, data bottlenecks Inside a 40-ft Microsoft container, Chicago data center

  15. Data center networks • load balancer: application-layer routing • receives external client requests • directs workload within data center • returns results to external client (hiding data center internals from client) Internet Border router Load balancer Load balancer Access router Tier-1 switches B A C Tier-2 switches TOR switches Server racks 7 6 5 4 8 3 2 1

  16. Data center networks • rich interconnection among switches, racks: • increased throughput between racks (multiple routing paths possible) • increased reliability via redundancy Tier-1 switches Tier-2 switches TOR switches Server racks 7 6 5 4 8 3 2 1

  30. Walk through the whole picture, and do the following “gedanken” experiments, thinking about • operations performed at hosts/servers • source host, destination host (web, mail servers, …) • Internet infrastructure servers (DNS, DHCP, …) • addressing information at each layer • interaction between the layers (e.g.,various protocols used) • operations performed by hubs, bridges/switches, routers • what information maintained by each device, how do they get the information? what actions do they perform? • how host A downloads a web page from web server www.cs.umn.edu? • how host A telnets to host B? • how host C accesses the mail server mail.cs.umn.edu? • how host A downloads a web page from web server www.yahoo.com? • how host A accesses his/her email at his/her yahoo mail account? • how host C sends, say, an instant message, to a user logged on at host X?
