Introduction: 1-10
Chapter 1: introduction
Chapter goal: Overview/roadmap:
• Get “feel,” “big picture,” • What is the Internet?
introduction to terminology • What is a protocol?
• more depth, detail later in • Network edge: hosts, access network,
course physical media
• Approach: • Network core: packet/circuit switching,
• use Internet as example internet structure
• Performance: loss, delay, throughput
• Security
• Protocol layers, service models
Introduction: 1-11
The Internet: a “nuts and bolts” view
Billions of connected mobile network
computing devices: national or global ISP
▪ hosts = end systems
▪ running network apps at
Internet’s “edge”
Packet switches: forward
local or
packets (chunks of data) Internet
regional ISP
▪ routers, switches
home network content
Communication links provider
network datacenter
▪ fiber, copper, radio, satellite network
▪ transmission rate: bandwidth
Networks enterprise
▪ collection of devices, routers, network
links: managed by an organization Introduction: 1-12
