1.3 network core
packet switching, circuit switching, network structure
1.4 delay, loss, throughput in networks 1.5 protocol layers, service models
Introduction 1-26
The network core
mesh of interconnected routers packet-switching: hosts break application-layer messages into packets
forward packets from one router to the next, across links on path from source to destination each packet transmitted at full link capacity
Introduction 1-27
Packet-switching: store-and-forward
L bits per packet source
3 2 1
R bps
R bps
destination
takes L/R seconds to transmit (push out) L-bit packet into link at R bps store and forward: entire packet must arrive at router before it can be transmitted on next link end-end delay = 2L/R (assuming zero propagation delay)
one-hop numerical example: L = 7.5 Mbits R = 1.5 Mbps one-hop transmission delay = 5 sec
more on delay shortly
Introduction 1-28
Packet Switching: queueing delay, loss
A B
R = 100 Mb/s
C
R = 1.5 Mb/s
D E
queue of packets waiting for output link
queuing and loss:
If arrival rate (in bits) to link exceeds transmission rate of link for a period of time: packets will queue, wait to be transmitted on link packets can be dropped (lost) if memory (buffer) fills up
Introduction 1-29
Two key network-core functions
routing: determines sourcedestination route taken by packets routing algorithms
routing algorithm
forwarding: move packets from
routers input to appropriate router output

dest address in arriving packets header
Network Layer 4-30
Alternative core: circuit switching
end-end resources allocated to, reserved for call between source & dest:
In diagram, each link has four circuits. call gets 2nd circuit in top link and 1st circuit in right link. dedicated resources: no sharing circuit-like (guaranteed) performance circuit segment idle if not used by call (no sharing) Commonly used in traditional telephone networks
Introduction 1-31
Circuit switching: FDM versus TDM
Example: FDM 4 users frequency time
TDM
frequency time
Introduction 1-32
Packet switching versus circuit switching
packet switching allows more users to use network!
example: 1 Mb/s link each user:
100 kb/s when active active 10% of time
N users 1 Mbps link
circuit-switching:
10 users
packet switching:
with 35 users, probability > 10 active at same time is less than .0004 *
Q: how did we get value 0.0004? Q: what happens if > 35 users ?
* Check out the online interactive exercises for more examples
Introduction 1-33
Packet switching versus circuit switching
is packet switching a slam dunk winner?
great for bursty data resource sharing simpler, no call setup excessive congestion possible: packet delay and loss protocols needed for reliable data transfer, congestion control Q: How to provide circuit-like behavior? bandwidth guarantees needed for audio/video apps still an unsolved problem (chapter 7) Q: human analogies of reserved resources (circuit switching) versus on-demand allocation (packet-switching)?
Introduction 1-34
Internet structure: network of networks
End systems connect to Internet via access ISPs (Internet Service Providers) Residential, company and university ISPs Access ISPs in turn must be interconnected. So that any two hosts can send packets to each other Resulting network of networks is very complex Evolution was driven by economics and national policies Lets take a stepwise approach to describe current Internet structure

Introduction 1-45
How do loss and delay occur?
packets queue in router buffers
packet arrival rate to link (temporarily) exceeds output link capacity packets queue, wait for turn
packet being transmitted (delay)
A B
packets queueing (delay) free (available) buffers: arriving packets dropped (loss) if no free buffers
Introduction 1-46
Four sources of packet delay
transmission
A B
nodal processing
propagation
queueing
dnodal = dproc + dqueue + dtrans + dprop
dproc: nodal processing
check bit errors determine output link typically < msec
dqueue: queueing delay
time waiting at output link for transmission depends on congestion level of router

dnodal = dproc + dqueue + dtrans + dprop dtrans: transmission delay:
L: packet length (bits) R: link bandwidth (bps) dtrans = L/R dtrans and dprop very different
dprop: propagation delay:
d: length of physical link s: propagation speed in medium (~2x108 m/sec) dprop = d/s

Caravan analogy
100 km ten-car caravan toll booth toll booth 100 km
cars propagate at 100 km/hr toll booth takes 12 sec to service car (bit transmission time) car~bit; caravan ~ packet Q: How long until caravan is lined up before 2nd toll booth?
time to push entire caravan through toll booth onto highway = 12*10 = 120 sec time for last car to propagate from 1st to 2nd toll both: 100km/(100km/hr)= 1 hr A: 62 minutes
Introduction 1-50

100 km ten-car caravan toll booth toll booth 100 km
suppose cars now propagate at 1000 km/hr and suppose toll booth now takes one min to service a car Q: Will cars arrive to 2nd booth before all cars serviced at first booth? A: Yes! after 7 min, 1st car arrives at second booth; three cars still at 1st booth.
Introduction 1-51
Queueing delay (revisited)
R: link bandwidth (bps) L: packet length (bits) a: average packet arrival rate
average queueing delay traffic intensity = La/R
La/R ~ 0: avg. queueing delay small La/R -> 1: avg. queueing delay large La/R > 1: more work arriving than can be serviced, average delay infinite!
* Check out the Java applet for an interactive animation on queuing and loss
