History & Technologies of the Internet History & Technologies of the Internet Lecture 1 – September 22, 2016 ―Lincoln Towers University‖ Sept. 22 – Oct. 13, 2016 Thursdays 7:30-9 pm, 150 WEA Community Room Instructor: Stephen Weinstein [email protected], (646) 267-5904 Lecture notes posting site: projectopenlincolntowers.org/lincolntowersuniversity Your instructor A mostly retired engineer living in Lincoln Towers, with a PhD in electrical engineering from U.C. Berkeley and extensive experience in the communications industry. I am a member of the Boards of the 150WEA Owners Corp. and of Project Open*. My consulting website, cttcservices.com, has further personal background information. *I maintain the Project Open web site, projectopenlincolntowers.org Goals of this course 1. Provide an intuitive explanation, not requiring an engineering or computer science background, of -Internet history -The technical foundations of the Internet -Relevant basic concepts of communications and information technology. 2. Answer your questions. Don’t be afraid to ask! Please have confidence in yourself to understand basic technical concepts! Important note: This is not a course on how to use computers and Internet services. It is a course on how the Internet came to be, what it is, and from a science and engineering perspective, how it works. Topics Covered in Four Lectures Lecture 1: Internet background and Digital Media -Definitions of a few basic terms (data, digital, bit, packet & packet switching, network, protocol). -Internet definition and organizations. -Internet history (and more in future classes). If there is time, we may introduce digital media, but this will probably be left to Lecture 2. Lecture 2: Digital Media and Communications -Basic concepts: frequency, wavelength, bandwidth & data rate. -History of digital/data and wireless communication. -Why digital? - and how conventional analog media (voice, images, video) are converted to digital. -Modulation and modems. -The different kinds of communication networks supporting the Internet; protocol stacks. Lecture 3: Internet architecture & technologies -Internet architecture (routers, domain name service, …). -Connection-oriented vs. connectionless (datagram). -The most important communication protocols used in the Internet: IP, TCP, UDP, and some others. -Translating a web address (like projectopenlincolntowers.org) to an IP address. -Avoiding address depletion. Lecture 4: Internet applications -The original application level protocols: ftp, smtp, telnet -The World Wide Web: History, browsers, and web pages. -Audio and video streaming, voice over IP. -Cloud computing. -Security attacks (e.g., denial of service). -The Internet of Things. Lecture 1: Internet background and digital media Basic terms. Internet definition, organizations, and history. Digital media. BASIC TERMS Data: A set or stream of symbols or numbers that represent information. This information can be voice, video, a picture, your tax return - virtually any kind of meaningful content. These days we keep data in digital storage devices such as computer hard drives and USB memory sticks. The data is in digital format (described on the next slide). Digital: Expressed as a group of numbers chosen from a small set. We have ten fingers and that is why we use decimal numbers from the set: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 We represent an integer by multiples of powers of 10. Example: 14 (decimal) = 1x10 + 4x1 If we had two fingers, like electronic memories, we would use binary numbers to represent an integer by multiples of powers of 2. Example: 14 (decimal) is the same as 1110 (binary) = 1x8 + 1x4 + 1x2 + 0x1 14 and 1110 are both digital representations of the same quantity! Data Stream: A sequence of digital numbers (sometimes called digital ―words‖) representing an information object such as a movie. Example of decimal and binary digital data streams for the same information: 14 05 12 15 02 ….. 1110 0101 1100 1111 0010 ….. Movies streamed from Netflix or other Internet sources come in binary data streams like that above. Bit: A quantity of information, equivalent to the information generated by the toss of an unbiased coin (head or tail). Byte: 8 bits. Megabyte (MB): A million bits. Gigabyte (GB): a billion bits. A bit of information is commonly represented by ―1‖ or ―0‖ rather than ―head‖ or ―tail‖, which fits nicely into a digital data stream! We will, in the next class, explain how a speech or video signal can be represented by a data sequence of bits. Sound pressure wave in air (analog) Analog to digital conversion A/D …0111 0000 1101 0100 ... Network (for data communications): A set of originating and terminating entities, forwarding nodes, and the transport links connecting them, for conveying data traffic. Terminating device (phone, Switch (in traditional telephone network) computer, cell phone, etc.) or router (in Internet and other packet networks). Packet: A data package conveying, through a network, bits representing part or all of a message. Complete message (digital data) A series of packets, each carrying part of the message It’s a lot like packing a large shipment into a series of trucks that may possibly be of different sizes. Packet multiplexing: A mixed stream of packets from different sources. The sources are represented here by the numbers 1,2,3,4. 2-voice 3-keyboard 1-video 1-video 1-video 1-video Packet switching (routing) vs. traditional line switching at a network node Line switching: For a particular information flow for which the entire path through the network is reserved in advance, a connection is made between the input line carrying this flow and an output line on the prearranged route. Packet switching (routing) vs. traditional line switching: Packet switching, ―datagram‖ model: Without reserving a route in advance, a particular packet is transferred to a buffer for an output line that the router selects as the best next ―hop‖. If the buffer is too full, the packet will be discarded. The Internet implements this ―unreliable‖ routing mechanism, but with enough capacity, packet discards (or long delays) will be minimal. (Communication) protocol: A formal description of the format and rules for a message exchange. Several layers of protocols are usually needed to completely specify an information exchange. A packet protocol, for example, will specify, in the packet ―header‖, sending and receiving addresses, information quantity, and information type. Simple packet model: Header Information field (payload) Source & destination addresses, etc. Definitions of an internet and the Internet An internet (not the Internet) is a combination of several distinct communication networks capable of conveying data between endpoints on different networks. Access Core networks Networks Local Area Networks Bluetooth Satellite Personal Area Networks Cellular Infrared mobile WiFi Optical Core Network, (IEEE 802.11) Cable (HFC) Bluetooth metropolitan & long haul DSL Ethernet Optical fiber The Internet is the publicly available combination of multiple distinct communication networks augmented by the Internet Protocol (IP) and subscribing to Internet standards in order to convey data through this multi-network environment.

  • Communication Protocol for Schools
    Communication Protocol for Schools Communication plays a key role in creating and fostering strong, positive relationships between the school and the home. Communication is a two-way street; our schools share information with our families and community, and our families share information with our schools. The purpose of this document is to guide, manage and improve school-home communication by offering a standard format, structure and sequence for regular, ongoing communication. Communication Channels Communication can take place in a variety of formats. The message and the purpose of the communication can help determine which format is most appropriate. Generally, the more issues-driven and/or detailed the information is, the more direct the communication channel chosen should be. Communication channels include: Face-to-face communication – one-on-one meetings, School Council meetings, Parent-Student- Teacher interviews Telephone conversations Hard copy, written communication – letters sent home from the school, paper school newsletters Electronic communication – email, electronic newsletters, websites, social media When the communication requires a dialogue, such as bringing forward a question or concern or when a discussion is required on a particular topic, the preferred channels of communication are ones that allow for an immediate and ongoing interaction between the people involved. The best formats for this kind of communication are face-to-face conversations or telephone conversations. Schools and families are encouraged to use these direct channels of communication when a topic is complex or requires a dialogue. These more direct forms of communication also help us establish a personal connection, which helps build relationships that we don’t get in other forms of communication.

  • Growth of the Internet
    Growth of the Internet K. G. Coffman and A. M. Odlyzko AT&T Labs - Research [email protected], [email protected] Preliminary version, July 6, 2001 Abstract The Internet is the main cause of the recent explosion of activity in optical fiber telecommunica- tions. The high growth rates observed on the Internet, and the popular perception that growth rates were even higher, led to an upsurge in research, development, and investment in telecommunications. The telecom crash of 2000 occurred when investors realized that transmission capacity in place and under construction greatly exceeded actual traffic demand. This chapter discusses the growth of the Internet and compares it with that of other communication services. Internet traffic is growing, approximately doubling each year. There are reasonable arguments that it will continue to grow at this rate for the rest of this decade. If this happens, then in a few years, we may have a rough balance between supply and demand. Growth of the Internet K. G. Coffman and A. M. Odlyzko AT&T Labs - Research [email protected], [email protected] 1. Introduction Optical fiber communications was initially developed for the voice phone system. The feverish level of activity that we have experienced since the late 1990s, though, was caused primarily by the rapidly rising demand for Internet connectivity. The Internet has been growing at unprecedented rates. Moreover, because it is versatile and penetrates deeply into the economy, it is affecting all of society, and therefore has attracted inordinate amounts of public attention. The aim of this chapter is to summarize the current state of knowledge about the growth rates of the Internet, with special attention paid to the implications for fiber optic transmission.

  • A History of Software Engineering in ICS at UC Irvine
    Institute for Software Research University of California, Irvine A History of Software Engineering in ICS at UC Irvine Richard N. Taylor University of California, Irvine [email protected] October 2018 ISR Technical Report # UCI-ISR-18-5 Institute for Software Research ICS2 221 University of California, Irvine Irvine, CA 92697-3455 isr.uci.edu isr.uci.edu/publications A History of Software Engineering in ICS at UC Irvine UCI-ISR-18-5 Richard N. Taylor October 2018 Introduction A history of software engineering in ICS at UCI is a bit of a name game. The term “software engineering” was effectively coined in 1968, the same year that ICS began. But what research topics constitute software engineering has always been somewhat fluid. Nonetheless, the very first PhD student graduated by ICS was William Howden, who throughout his subsequent career as a professor was focused on a core SE topic, software testing. Software for the Internet has a long and strong history in ICS. From the creation of DNS by Paul Mockapetris through to the HTTP/1.1 protocol, the REST architectural style, and the Apache web server, software engineering concerns and approaches have been at the forefront. Indeed, a hallmark of SE research at UCI has been its interdisciplinary character; many of the key results were the consequence of looking at key software challenges in applied circumstances, such as the Internet, or as the result of working with researchers in other fields, such as human-computer interaction. Major software engineering topics at Irvine have included software reuse, programming environments, integrated software engineering environments, process, software safety, analysis and testing, security, design methods and tools, open source software, and software architecture.
