What Is a Network ?
• Data communication is the transfer of data from one device to another via some form of transmission medium.
• A Network: is a set of communication devices connected by media links.
Prepared By E.Musa Alyaman4
What Is a Network?
• Network card – hardware needed for a computer to talk to a network. The most common network card in use is the Ethernet card
• Router – machines that act as switches. Direct packets of data to the next “hop” across a network
• Hub – provides connections that allow multiple computers to access a network
• Gateway – connects one network to another
Prepared By E.Musa Alyaman5
How Do Networks Communicate?
Connections between computers and devices:
1. Wires and cables – electricity sent
2. Infrared and RF (wireless)
3. Fiber-optics cable – use light
Through this connection, data is carried between one point in the network to another, data represented as bits of information (“on” or “off”)
Prepared By E.Musa Alyaman6
Network Components
• Components: message, sender, receiver, medium, and protocol.
Prepared By E.Musa Alyaman7
Data flow
• Data flow between two devices can occur in one of three ways: simplex, half-duplex, or full-duplex.
Prepared By E.Musa Alyaman11
Addressing
• Each node represented by an address just as home address
• Manufacturer of NIC installed in every devices connected to network is responsible to ensure that no two card carry the same address and chooses a suitable addressing scheme
Prepared By E.Musa Alyaman12
Addressing
• Commonly used term for physical address:– Hardware address– Ethernet address– MAC address– NIC address
• Addresses are used to send information to the appropriate node
• Ethernet network cards are assigned a unique 48-bit number
Prepared By E.Musa Alyaman14
Data Transmission Using Packets
• Data will be divided into smaller packets and sent through network to reach its destination
• Packets may take different routes to reach the destination depending on the routing approach and congestion level of the network
• Mechanism to ensure no packets lost is available depending on the protocol used to send the data
Prepared By E.Musa Alyaman15
Data Transmission Using Packets
• Packets consist of header and data segment
• Header contains addressing information, checksum to ensure no error and other useful information needed for transmission over the network

Advantages of Layering
The Advantages of layering:1. Simplify networking protocol by breaking them into
smaller and manageable 2. Offers better flexibility
The protocols that make up the TCP/IP suite have been carefully designed with the following major achievement:
1. Resource sharing between networks2. Hardware and software independence3. Reliability and robustness4. “Good” protocols that are efficient and simple

Internet layers
The five-layer model provides guidelines for the development of universally compatible networking protocols.
Prepared By E.Musa Alyaman20
Major protocols
1. Internet Protocol (IP)• Layer 3 protocol (network layer)• Used to transmit data packet over the Internet• The most widely used networking protocol in the world• All networking hardware support IP• Acts as a bridge between networks of different types• Packet-switching network protocol – no “connections
between” machines• Information exchanged between 2 host in the form of IP
packets – IP datagrams
Prepared By E.Musa Alyaman22
IP Address
• To map between a physical network address and an IP address, Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) is used
• Four-byte (32 bits) address expressed in dotted decimal format192.10.1.1
• Classful IP Addresses (first octet)– Class A (1 - 126) – Class B (128 – 191)– Class C (192 - 223)
• What are IP addresses for yahoo/google/metalab?• IP address are not designed with people in mind. Imagine textual-
based name vs number-based name• Mechanism to associate an easy-to-remember textual name with an
IP address – hostname• DNS (Domain Name System)
Prepared By E.Musa Alyaman23
Major Protocols
2. Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP)• ICMP (RFC 792) is used by hosts and routers to
communicate network-layer information– Error reporting– Router signaling
• One of the mechanisms to ensure Internet Protocol runs error-free since IP provides no guarantee of datagram delivery.
• Example:– “Destination network unreachable” is a message sent when a
host with a certain IP address cannot be found.– This message originated from a router and is sent when it was not
able to find a path to the host.
Prepared By E.Musa Alyaman24
ICMP• ICMP defines five error messages
1. Destination Unreachable2. Parameter Problems3. Redirect4. Source Quench5. Time Exceeded
• ICMP also supports informational message:• Echo Request/Echo Reply
• ICMP is a useful protocol, however only few network application make use of it since its functionality is limited to diagnostic and error notification
• Famous application is ping which is used to determine if host is alive or inaccessible and the delay between sending a packet and receiving a response
Prepared By E.Musa Alyaman25
Major Protocols3. Transmission Control Protocol
– Layer 4 protocol that provides guaranteed delivery and ordering of bytes
– Uses IP to send TCP segments– Contains additional information that allows it to order
packets and resend them if error occurs– Has extra layer of abstraction, by using a
communication port– Communication port – a numerical value ( 0 – 65535)
used to distinguish one application or service from another
Prepared By E.Musa Alyaman26
Major Protocols4. User Datagram Protocol (UDP)
– Layer 4 protocol to send packets of data– Raw access to IP datagram is not really easy to
determine which application a packet is for– Supports port number– Does not guarantee delivery of packets or will arrive
in the correct order– Faster data delivery but without error checking
feature
– Video streaming etc.

Internet Application Protocols
• Telnet (port 23)• File Transfer Protocol (port 20 & 21)• Post Office Protocol Version 3 (POP3) (port 110)• Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP) (port 150)• Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) (port 25)• HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP) (port 80)• Network News Transport Protocol (NNTP) (port 119)
Prepared By E.Musa Alyaman29
Firewalls for Developers• Firewalls good for network administrators
but not to network developers• Most corporate firewalls block direct UDP
and TCP access and making these protocol unusable
• Hence, developers must make a choice – either use standard Internet protocols and ignore user who work behind firewalls or adapt software to proxy requests using protocols such a HTTP
