1、Computer Networking Lecture 2Access networks and packet-switch networksSept 4nd, 2013Dr. Chunhua CSome slides are from lectures of Prof. J.F Kurose and K.W. RossReview: the network edge Why we need networks? End systems exchange messages Protocols: regulate the exchange of messages Format and order

2、of messages, and actions token by end systems Computing model Client/server Peer/peer Internet Network of networks, form a loosely hierarchical architecture We have covered the network edgeAccess networks and physical mediaQ: How to connect end systems to edge router? residential access nets institu

3、tional access networks (school, company) mobile access networksKeep in mind: bandwidth (bits per second) of access network shared or dedicatedResidential access: point to point access Dialup via modem (拨号调制解调拨号调制解调器）器） up to 56Kbps direct access to router (often less) Cant surf and phone at same tim

4、e: cant be “always on” DSL: digital subscriber line (数字用户线，电缆调制解调数字用户线，电缆调制解调器）器） deployment: telephone company (typically) up to 1 Mbps upstream (today typically 256 kbps) up to 8 Mbps downstream (today typically 10 active at same time is less than .0004Packet switching allows more users to use net

5、work!N users1 Mbps linkQ: how did we get value 0.0004?Packet switching versus circuit switching great for bursty data resource sharing simpler, no call setup excessive congestion: packet delay and loss protocols needed for reliable data transfer, congestion control Q: How to provide circuit-like beh

6、avior? bandwidth guarantees needed for audio/video apps still an unsolved problem (chapter 7)Is packet switching a “slam dunk winner?”Q: human analogies of reserved resources (circuit switching) versus on-demand allocation (packet-switching)?“Best effort” in packet-switch networks “Best effort” mean
