3. Lecture notes —https://github.com/jj1bdx/ oueees-201806-public/ —Check out the README.md file and the issues! Kenji Rikitake / oueees 201806 part 1 26-JUN-2018 3
4. Reporting —Keyword at the end of the talk —URL for submitting the report at the end of the talk Kenji Rikitake / oueees 201806 part 1 26-JUN-2018 4
5. Before starting the today's talk: the risk of being a professional and exposure to the public —You might be harassed, harmed, and attacked at any time —The attackers are anonymous while you are well-identified —Anyone can be a target —Stay low profile when you can —Stay vigilant Kenji Rikitake / oueees 201806 part 1 26-JUN-2018 5
6. Today's topic: communication fundamentals of the packet switching networks Kenji Rikitake / oueees 201806 part 1 26-JUN-2018 6
7. Communication: sharing a medium —Sharing a physical link between two or multiple parties —The physical layer —A medium could be: electric wires, optic fibers, radio airwaves, sound, flying birds like pigeons Kenji Rikitake / oueees 201806 part 1 26-JUN-2018 7
8. Connecting unconnected nodes There are many ways to connect the dots in this picture Kenji Rikitake / oueees 201806 part 1 26-JUN-2018 8
9. Simplest way: star/ centralized connection —Centralized connection was the easiest way to connect the nodes —Very much susceptible to network link failures —Links should stay connected during the connection Kenji Rikitake / oueees 201806 part 1 26-JUN-2018 9
10. The old Stockholm telephone tower in 1890 Kenji Rikitake / oueees 201806 part 1 26-JUN-2018 10
11. Fallen telephone lines by frost at Jönköping, Sweden, 1929 Kenji Rikitake / oueees 201806 part 1 26-JUN-2018 11
12. Tekniska museet in Stockholm (June 2018) Kenji Rikitake / oueees 201806 part 1 26-JUN-2018 12
13. Multiplexing: sharing the same link by multiple nodes and communication devices Kenji Rikitake / oueees 201806 part 1 26-JUN-2018 13
14. Multiplexing enables decentralization —Some links carry shared traffics for many different nodes Kenji Rikitake / oueees 201806 part 1 26-JUN-2018 14
15. How to multiplex different types of information, and put them together for sharing a same medium? Kenji Rikitake / oueees 201806 part 1 26-JUN-2018 15
16. Signal characteristics used for multiplexing —Space division (multiple lines or multiple beam-formed antennas) —Time division —Frequency/wavelength division —Polarization division —Code division (multiple codes of very small cross-correlation) Kenji Rikitake / oueees 201806 part 1 26-JUN-2018 16
17. Packet switching What if you can split a stream into the packets and let them be delivered through different links for each packet? Kenji Rikitake / oueees 201806 part 1 26-JUN-2018 17
18. How to form a packet (1/2) —Split a stream into multiple pieces of data ABCDEFHIJ -> ABC DEF HIJ —Put a header on each piece ABC DEF HIJ -> P1-ABC P2-DEF P3-HIJ Kenji Rikitake / oueees 201806 part 1 26-JUN-2018 18
19. How to form a packet (2/2) —Add source and destination addresses to each packet P1-ABC P2-DEF P3-HIJ -> FromXtoY-P1-ABC FromXtoY-P2-DEF FromXtoY-P3-HIJ —Then send them on the network! Kenji Rikitake / oueees 201806 part 1 26-JUN-2018 19
20. Kenji Rikitake / oueees 201806 part 1 26-JUN-2018 20
21. Packet switching and the nodes —Each communication node must know how to assemble/disassemble information to/from the packets —Each communication node must know which link should be used to send a packet for the given destination —Packets can be lost; relaying nodes cannot detect a lost packet Kenji Rikitake / oueees 201806 part 1 26-JUN-2018 21
22. Packet (dis)assembly issues —The sequence of delivered packets may differ from that of the sender intents; holding the out-of-sequence packets are required —Retransmission is required to recover a lost packet for a reliable communication Kenji Rikitake / oueees 201806 part 1 26-JUN-2018 22
23. Kenji Rikitake / oueees 201806 part 1 26-JUN-2018 23
24. Packet switching enables —Changing the packet relay routes during the communication —Using multiple routes for a single communication link —Aggregating multiple communication links into a physical link —Connectionless and connection- oriented communication simultaneously Kenji Rikitake / oueees 201806 part 1 26-JUN-2018 24
25. Truly distributed networks are feasible by packet switching —No centralized nodes —Each link can be utilized by all nodes —A disconnection of the link will not be fatal so long as one link is connected to a node Kenji Rikitake / oueees 201806 part 1 26-JUN-2018 25
26. Disadvantages of packet switching —Each node must be able to form/ generate and decode/interpret a packet —Forming and decoding a packet takes time and the computing resources —Reliability and latency can be a trade-off —Relay nodes can be neutralized by denial-of-service attacks —Difficult to manage Kenji Rikitake / oueees 201806 part 1 26-JUN-2018 26
27. Topics on next talk —IP addresses —Routing and the information dissemination —Transport protocols (TCP, UDP, HTTP(/ 2), QUIC) Kenji Rikitake / oueees 201806 part 1 26-JUN-2018 27
