2. Outline of Day 2
 Internet Vs internet
 History of Internet
 Protocol Layering
 TCP/IP Protocol suite
 OSI Model
1.2

3. Internet Vs internet
Internet
 set of all networks which
are interconnected and
interoperate using the
IETF standard protocols.
internet
 Any network of devices
which can communicate
with each other.
Internet is a superset of internets. The
Internet is the network of networks.

4. 1.4
The Internet
• The Internet has revolutionized many aspects of our
daily lives.
• It has affected the way we do business as well as the
way we spend our leisure time.
• The Internet is a communication system that has
brought a wealth of information to our fingertips
and organized it for our use.

5. Q-A
 Network of devices which can
communicate with each other
 internet
 Father of internet
 Vint Cerf
 Father of WWW
 Tim Berners Lee

6. Protocol Layering
 Protocol 
 defines the rules that both the sender and receiver
and all intermediate devices need to follow to be
able to communicate effectively.
 Communication
 Simple  need only one simple protocol.
 complex,  need to divide the task between
different layers, in which case we need a protocol
at each layer, or protocol layering
1.6

7. Protocol Layering
 Let us develop two simple scenarios to better
understand the need for protocol layering.
 In the first scenario, communication is so simple
that it can occur in only one layer.
 In the second, the communication between Maria
and Ann takes place in three layers
1.7

8. Protocol Layering
 First Scenario
 Maria and Ann are neighbors with a lot of
common ideas.
 Communication (one layer)
 face to face, in the same language,
1.8

9. Protocol Layering
 First Scenario - Protocols
1. Greet each other when they meet
2. Confine the vocabulary to the level of friendship
3. Refrain from speaking if one is speaking
4. Opportunity to talk both on an issue (dialog / monolog)
5. Exchange nice words when departing
1.9

10. Protocol Layering
 Second Scenario
 Maria and Ann are physically far away.
 Communication (three layer)
 Letters/Mail
 Should be in a secure way
 Listen/Talk

11. Second Scenario
Postal carrier facility
Protocol Layering
1.11

12. Principles of Protocol Layering
1. if we want bidirectional communication  need to
make each layer so that it is able to perform two
opposite tasks, one in each direction.
2. we need to follow in protocol layering is that the two
objects under each layer at both sites should be
identical.

13. Logical Connections
 Layer-to-layer communication.
1.13

14. Protocol suite
 Suite set of
interconnected rooms under
one room number
 a set of rooms designated for
one person's or family's use or
for a particular purpose
 Protocol suite Collection
of protocols that are
designed to work together.
 Set of protocols organized in
different layers
1.14

15. TCP/IP Protocol Suite
 TCP/IP : Transmission Control Protocol/Internet
Protocol
 TCP/IP is a protocol suite (a set of protocols
organized in different layers) used in the Internet
today.
 It is a hierarchical protocol made up of interactive
modules, each of which provides a specific
functionality.
 The original TCP/IP protocol suite was defined as
four software layers built upon the hardware. Today,
however, TCP/IP is thought of as a five-layer model.
 Department of Defense Four-Layer Model

Layers

22. Physical Layer
 1. Physical Characteristics of Interface and medium :
Type of Transmission medium
 2. Representation of Bits : Encoding Techniques ;
Conversion of Bits to Electrical/Optical signals
 3. Data rate: bits/sec
 4. Synchronization: Clock Synchronization at Sender &
receiver
 5. Physical Topology: Star, Bus, Mesh, Ring etc
 6. Line Configuration : Point to Point, Multipoint
Configurations
 7. Transmission Mode : Simplex , Half-Duplex, Full-
Duplex
Physical layer is responsible for movements of bits from one hop(node)
to the next

23. Data Link Layer
 1. Framing
 2. Physical Addressing
 3.Flow control
 4. Error Control: Detection & Correction
 5. Access Control
Data link layer is responsible for moving frames from one hop(node) to the
next
e.g., ARP, IEEE
802.3 and IEEE
802.11

24. Network Layer
 1. Logical Addressing: IPv4, IPv6
 2. Routing: Routing algorithms & table
(traffic routing & control)
Network layer is responsible for delivery of individual packets
from source host to destination host
e.g., IP,
ICMP, IGMP,
DHCP

25. Transport Layer
 1. Service point addressing: Port Address
 2. Segmentation : Divided into transmittable
segments with sequence numbers
 3. Connection Control
 4. Flow Control
 5. Session Multiplexing
 6. Error Detection & Correction (resends)
 7. Message reordering (reassembly)
Transport layer is responsible for the delivery of the message
from one process to another
e.g., TCP,
UDP

26. Application Layer
 1. Network virtual terminal (e.g. usgs)
 2.File transfer, access and management
 3.Mail services
 4.Directory services
Application layer is responsible for
providing services to the user.

THE OSI MODEL
o Established in 1947, the International
Standards Organization (ISO) is a
multinational body dedicated to worldwide
agreement on international standards.
o An ISO standard that covers all aspects of
network communications is the Open Systems
Interconnection (OSI) model.
o It was first introduced in the late 1970s.
ISO is the organization.
OSI is the model.

32. Lack of OSI Model’s Success
 The OSI model appeared after the TCP/IP
protocol suite.
 Changing it cost a lot.
 Some layers in the OSI model were never fully
defined
 OSI did not show a high enough level of
performance
