  1. Computer Networks

  2. IP Addresses • Before we communicate with a computer on the network we have to be able to identify it. • Every computer on a network must have a unique “address”. • The system used on the Internet is called Internet Protocol (IP). Every machine on the Internet has a unique IP address.*

  3. Internet Protocol (IP) • Internet protocol has been revised • IP version 4 (IPv4) is the most widely used. • IP version 6 (IPv6) will eventually replace it. • IPv4 uses 32-bit host addresses • IPv6 uses 128-bit host addresses

  4. Internet Protocol (IPv4) • 32-bit IP addresses • Store internally as a single word • Usually expressed to user’s using “dotted decimal notation” (e.g., 161.115.147.1) where each of the four numbers range from 0 to 255. • Usually aliased to host “domain name” of the system (e.g. hobb-0113-Instrl.lynchburg.edu, www.google.com, www.amazon.com )

  5. Domain Name System (DNS) • How can we map host names to IP addresses? • Domain Name Servers provide names in response to client requests. • A hierarchical representation provides name management at each level of domain name.

  6. Domain Name Management • Each level is responsible for assigning its own names • .edu is the top-level domain for educational institutions in the US. We need to get permission from the managers of the .edu domain before we can use lynchburg.edu • lynchburg.edu is the Lynchburg College domain name. We can name our computers anything we want, (e.g., altair.lynchburg.edu). • If we wanted to we could create a cs.lynchburg.edu subdomain

  7. Client/Server Models • Network interaction is based on an asymmetrical relationship • Server • provides services to authorized clients • typically handles many clients simultaneously • works passively, driven by client requests • Client • requests services • typically initiates

  8. Port Numbers • IP addresses identify host machines only. • Port numbers identify services on machines. • 16-bit port numbers provide values (0-65535) • “Well-known ports” (0-1023) • Registered ports (1024-49151) (49152 is 75% of available port numbers) • Dynamic or private ports • Internet Assigned Number Authority (IANA) • Determines (0-1023) • Registers (1024-49151) • Does not control (49151-65535)

  9. Some Well Known Port Numbers • 23 (telnet) • 21 (ftp) • 13 (daytime) • 25 (smtp (mail)) • 43 (whois) • 144 (news) • 80 (http web server)

  10. Telnet Client • telnet <hostname> <port number> • provides a general interface to request a service and return a text response.

  11. Trace Route • traceroute <hostname> (unix) • tracert <hostname> (dos/windows)

  12. Ping • See if there is a connection between two machines • See if a particular host is running ping <hostname>

  13. Special Ip Addresses

  14. Subnets • Problem: • We are rapidly running out of IP addresses • Many networks do not have the maximum number of hosts that can be supported • Temporary Solution: • Create subnet. Subnet works with smaller numbers of hosts. • Changes the distribution of network and host addresses • Uses some of the bits originally allocated for the host address for the network address

  15. Sample subnet for class “B” network

  16. Types of Routing • Direct Routing • Both machines are on the same network • Machines communicate directly, e.g., on the same Ethernet • Indirect Routing • Machines are on different physical networks • There is no direct connection • Datagrams travel from source to destination via one or more gateways or routers. • Hosts can determine which method to use by comparing their network address with the network address of the datagram.

  17. Gateways and Routers • A gateway is a host that belongs to more than one network • A gateway has more than one IP address, one for each network that includes it. • Gateways can also work as hosts, but more frequently gateways provide routing as their principal function. • The terms router and gateway are often used interchangeably, but the term router is more often used to describe custom hardware dedicated to routing.

  19. Routing on a LAN • Datagrams can be routed directly to a destination host that is connected to the same LAN • Ethernet cards all have a unique 6-byte address (e.g., 08-f3-32-a3-b5-23) • The hosts maintain a table of IP to Ethernet address translations • This table is maintained automatically using ARP

  20. Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) • The source broadcasts the destination address to the local network (along with the local source’s address) requesting the Ethernet address of the corresponding host • The destination host responds by sending its Ethernet address to the source host • The destination host sends the data to the destination and records the IP/Ethernet address pair in a cache for future use. • Cache entries time-out and must be reacquired

  21. Basics of Internet Routing • Look at the destination IP address • Extract the network address • If network is directly connected, send the datagram directly. Use ARP to resolve the physical address if necessary. • If network is indirectly connected, lookup the address of the network in a routing table.
