• Internal Corporate Networks
– For transmission among computers within a corporation
– Transaction processing applications
• High-volume clerical applications
• Accounting, payroll, billing, etc.
– Voice over IP (VoIP)

Figure 1-1: Basic Networking Concepts
• Data Communications and Telecommunications
– Data communications, as the name suggests, involves
the transmission of data (text, numbers, pictures, and
other information).
– In turn, telecommunications is the transmission of voice
and video, including ordinary telephony and broadcast
and cable television.
– Beginning to converge
8
Figure 1-1: Basic Networking Concepts
• Digital Transmission
– Information is first converted into a string of ones and
zeros (binary)
– Next, the ones and zeros are converted into signals that
propagate over transmission media.

Part III: Transmission
Speed
Figure 1-6: Transmission Speed
• Measuring Transmission Speed
– Measured in bits per second (bps)
– In metric notation:
• Increasing factors of 1,000 …
– Not factors of 1,024
103 • Kilobits per second (kbps)-note the lowercase k
106 • Megabits per second (Mbps)
109 • Gigabits per second (Gbps)
1012 • Terabits per second (Tbps)
23
Figure 1-6: Transmission Speed
• Measuring Transmission Speed
– What is 23,000 bps in metric notation?
– What is 3,000,000,000 bps in metric notation?
– What is 15,100,000 bps in metric notation?
• Occasionally measured in bytes per second
• Written as Bps
24
Figure 1-6: Transmission Speed
• Writing Transmission Speeds
– The rule for writing speeds (and metric numbers in
general) is that there should be 1 to 3 places before the
decimal point
• 23.72 Mbps is correct (2 places before the decimal
point).
• 2,300 Mbps has four places before the decimal point,
so it should be rewritten as 2.3 Gbps (1 place).
• 0.5 Mbps has zero places to the left of the decimal
point. It should be written as 500 kbps (3 places).
25
Figure 1-6: Transmission Speed
• Writing Transmission Speeds
– How to convert 1,200 Mbps to proper form
• Divide the number 1,200 by 1000
– Move decimal point three places to the left: 1.200
• Multiple the metric suffix Mbps by 1,000
– Gbps
• Result:
– 1.2 Gbps
– When you make either the number or the metric smaller,
you have to make the other one bigger
26
Figure 1-6: Transmission Speed
• Writing Transmission Speeds
– How to convert 0.036 Mbps to proper form
• Multiply the number 0.036 by 1000
– Move decimal point three places to the right: 36
• Divide the metric suffix Mbps by 1,000
– kbps
• Result:
– 36 kbps
27
Figure 1-6: Transmission Speed
• Writing Transmission Speeds
– How should you write the following in proper form?
• 549.73 kbps
• 0.47 Gbps
• 11,200 Mbps
• .0021 Gbps
28
Figure 1-6: Transmission Speed
• Rated Speed Versus Throughput
– Rated speed is the speed a network should provide,
based on standards
– Throughput is the speed a network actually provides
– We will use this distinction constantly throughout this
book
29
Figure 1-6: Transmission Speed
• Rated Speed Versus Throughput
– When transmission capacity is shared by multiple users,
• The total shared throughput is the aggregate
throughput
• Individual throughput is what individuals receive as a
fraction of the aggregate throughput
30

Part V: Internets
Figure 1-11: Internets
• Single LANs Versus Internets
– In single networks (LANs and WANs), all devices
connect to one another by switches—our focus so far.
– In contrast, an internet is a group of networks connected
by routers so that any application on any host on any
single network can communicate with any application on
any other host on any other network in the internet.

Figure 1-11: Internets
• Hosts Have Two Addresses
• IP Address
– This is the host’s official address on its internet
– 32 bits long
– Expressed for people in dotted decimal notation (e.g.,
128.171.17.13)
• Single-Network Addresses
– This is the host’s address on its single network
– Ethernet addresses, for instance, are 48 bits long
– Expressed in hexadecimal notation (e.g., AF-23-9BE8-67-47)
44
Figure 1-11: Internets
• Networks are connected by devices called routers
– Switches provide connections within networks, while
routers provide connections between networks in an
internet.
• Frames and Packets
– In single networks, message are called frames
– In internets, messages are called packets
45
Figure 1-11: Internets
• Packets are carried within frames
– One packet is transmitted from the source host to the
destination host
• Its IP destination address is that of the destination
host
– In each network, the packet is carried in (encapsulated in)
a frame (Figure 1-12)
– If there are N networks between the source and
destination hosts, there will be one packet and N
networks between the source and destination hosts,
there will be one packet and N frames for a transmission

Figure 1-14: The Internet, internets,
Intranets, and Extranets
• Intranets
– An intranet is an internal internet for use within an
organization
– Based on the TCP/IP standards created for the Internet
“Intra” means “within”
64
Figure 1-14: The Internet, internets,
Intranets, and Extranets
• Extranets
– To connect multiple firms
• Only some computers from each firm are on the
extranet
– Use TCP/IP standards
“Extra” means “outside”
65
Figure 1-14: The Internet, internets,

• Intranets, Extranets, and the Internet
– Confusingly, both intranets and extranets can use the
Internet for some of their transmission capacity

Figure 1-20: IP Address Management
• Every Host Must Have a Unique IP address
– Server hosts are given static IP addresses (unchanging)
– Clients get dynamic (temporary) IP addresses that may
be different each time they use an internet
• Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)
(Figure 1-21)
– Clients get these dynamic IP addresses from Dynamic
Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) servers (Figure 1-21)

Figure 1-20: IP Address Management
• Domain Name System (DNS) (Figure 1-22)
– IP addresses are official addresses on the Internet and
other internets
– Hosts can also have host names (e.g., cnn.com)
• Not official—like nicknames
– If you only know the host name of a host that you want to
reach, your computer must learn its IP address
• DNS servers tell our computer the IP address of a
target host whose name you know. (Figure 1-22)

Figure 1-24: Cryptographic Protections
• Cryptography
– The use of mathematical operations to thwart attacks on
message dialogues between pairs of communicating
parties (people, programs, or devices)
• Cryptography is Expensive
– Usually only sensitive dialogues are cryptographically
secured
• Initial Authentication
– Determine the other party’s identity to thwart impostors
83
Figure 1-24: Cryptographic Protections
• Message-by-Message Protections
– Encryption to provide confidentiality so that an
eavesdropper cannot reach intercepted messages
– Electronic signatures provide message-by-message
authentication to prevent the insertion of messages by
an impostor after initial authentication
– Electronic signatures usually also provide message
integrity; this tells the receiver whether anyone has
changed the message en route

Recap
Network Elements: Recap
• Applications (the only element that users care about)
• Computers
– Clients
– Servers
• Switches and Routers
• Transmission Lines
– Trunk lines
– Access Lines
• Messages (Frames)
• Wireless Access Points
Never talk about an
innovation “reducing cost,”
“increasing speed,” etc.
without specifying
which element is
cheaper or faster.
For example, multiplexing
only reduces the cost of
trunk lines; other
costs are not decreased
86
Recap: LANs and WANs
• LANs transmit data within
corporate sites
• WANs transmit data
between corporate sites
• Each LAN or WAN is a
single network
• LAN costs are low and
speeds are high
WAN
• WAN costs are high
and speeds are lower
87
Internets
• Most firms have multiple LANs and WANs.
• They must create internets
– An internet is a collection of networks connected
by routers so that any application on any host on
any single network can communicate with any
application on any other host on any other network
in the internet.

Internets
• Elements of an Internet
– Computers connected to the internet are called
hosts
• Both servers and client PCs are hosts
– Routers connect the networks of the internet
together
• In contrast, switches forward frames within
individual networks

Internets
• Hosts Have Two Addresses
• IP Address
– This is the host’s official address on its internet
– 32 bits long
– Expressed for people in dotted decimal notation (e.g.,
128, 171, 17.13)
• Single Network Addresses
– This is the host’s address on its single network
– Ethernet addresses, for instance, are 48 bits long
– Expressed in hexadecimal notation, e.g., AF-23-9BE8-67-47

Recap
• Switches versus Routers
– Switches move frames through a single network (LAN
or WAN)
– Routers move packets through internets
• Messages
– Messages in single networks are called frames
– Messages in internets are called packets
– Packets are encapsulated within (carried inside)
frames
91
Security
• Security
– Firewalls
– Hardened Hosts
– Cryptographic security
for sensitive dialogues
• Initial authentication
• Encryption for
confidentiality
• Electronic signatures for
authentication and
message integrity
