3. T1 Details • Bipolar Representation • T1 uses Bipolar Coding to represent 1 and 0 bits • ‘1’ bit represented by alternating +3 volt, -3 volt pulses • ‘0’ bits represented by no voltage • Framed Format

4. Bipolar Representation

5. T1 Frame Format • Each DS0 called a time slot • 8000 frames/sec * 8 bits/slot = 64 Kbps • 24 * 8 + 1 = 193 bits/frame • 8000 frames/sec * 193 bits/frame = 1.544 Mbps • 8000 Framing bits sent per second

6. T1 Framing Bits • Framing Bits used for • Allow receiver to find the start-of-frame (frame synchronization). • Group sets of 12 frames into superframes • Indicate which frames contain signaling bits • Provide error checking (CRC) (ESF T1) • Provide Facilities Data Link channel to transmit network management messages (ESF T1)

7. T1 Framing Bits (D4 Frame) • D4 Framing - Superframe T1 (1970) • F-bit pattern marks 12-frame superframes • F-bit pattern: 100011011100 • Odd frames: 101010 (Basic framing pattern) • Even frames: 001110 (marks 6th, 12th frames) • One Signaling Bit “robbed” in 6th & 12th frames for each Time Slot • Each signaling bit indicates whether that Time Slot is currently IDLE (1) or IN-USE (0)

8. D4 Frame Format • Frames 1-5, 7-11: • Frames 6, 12:

9. T1 Framing Bits (ESF Frame) • D5 Framing - Extended Superframe T1 (1983) • F-bit pattern marks 24-frame extendedsuperframes • F-bit pattern: • Odd frames: Facilities Data Link • Every 4th frame: 001011 (Framing pattern) • Every 4th frame: CRC for previous ESF

10. ESF Frame Advantages • Facilities Data Link • Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC)

11. Packet Data Services • Customer pays

12. Packet Data Services

13. Packet Switching • Concepts:

14. Packetizing • Example: • I want to send a 50 Mbyte file • Max. packet length is 5000 bytes

15. Packet Switch Operations • Packet switch (router) is a store-and-forward device

16. Packet Switching = Statistical Time Division Multiplexing • A Packet Switch acts as a multiplexer, allowing multiple devices to share a single physical line.

17. Packet Switching = Statistical Time Division Multiplexing

18. Packet Switching = Statistical Time Division Multiplexing

19. Packet Switching and OSI • Packet switching functions performed by Network Layer (Layer 3) software • Layer 3 protocol determines: • max. packet length • packet header format • address format

20. Example: X.25 • X.25 protocol: • Max packet length = 1024 bytes • Header format: • 4-bit General Format Identifier • 4-bit Logical Group Number • 8-bit Logical Channel Number • 8-bit Packet Type Identifier • Address: Logical Group/Channel

21. Example: Internet Protocol • IP protocol: • Max packet length = 65,536 bytes • Header format: • 4-bit Version Number • 4-bit Header Type • 8-bit Service Type • 16-bit Length • 16-bit Identifier

22. Example: Internet Protocol • IP protocol header format(cnt’d): • 16-bit Offset • 8-bit Time-to-Live • 8-bit Protocol • 16-bit Checksum • 32-bit Source Address • 32-bit Destination Address • Address: 4-byte IP address

23. Packets inside Frames • Layer 3 packets can be carried inside any type of Layer 2 frame • Layer 3 protocol determines end-to-end delivery • Layer 2 protocol just used on one physical transmission link

24. Packets inside Frames • Example: IP packet carried inside Ethernet frame

25. Packets and Frames • Routers modify frame headers & trailers so packet can travel end-to-end over many links Router modifies frame IP packets / PPP frames IP packets / TR frames Router modifies frame IP packets / TR frames

26. X.25 Details

27. X.25 Details • Virtual Channel Communications • To send data, you must

28. X.25 Details • Cost of X.25 service • Carrier monthly charges based on:

29. X.25 Details • Network Error Control • Each Packet Switch in the network buffers customer data and handles ACKs and retransmission

30. X.25 Details • Packet Assembler / Disassemblers (PADs)

32. IP Comparison to X.25

34. What is the Internet? • A “Network of Networks” • Multiple networks of many types are all interconnected • The single common element: Internet Protocol (IP)

35. The Key Players • End Users are businesses and individuals who wish to use the Internet • Internet Service Providers (ISPs) are carriers that maintain networks of IP routers to provide IP packet service • ISPs interconnect with each other at Metropolitan Area Exchanges (MAEs)

37. Access to Internet • Access lines to ISP routers can be: • See http://www.thelist.com for list of ISPs and pricing information

38. Who Makes Money? • End Users and Businesses • Regional ISPs pay National ISPs • ISPs pay telecommunications carriers

39. Application Layer Protocols • Telnet • Allows remote login to another computer • File Transfer Protocol (FTP) • Transfers files between computers • Simple Mail Transport Protocol (SMTP) • Sends e-mail to another computer • Post Office Protocol (POP) • Downloads e-mail from e-mail server • Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) • Transfers files between Web servers and Web clients running browser software

40. IP Addresses • Each IP address is 4 bytes long • Format: each byte written in decimal separated by dots - “dotted decimal”

41. IP Addresses • How does every device on the Internet get a different IP address? • IP Address Prefixes assigned to organizations by the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA)--now Network Solutions • These organizations then control all IP addresses starting with that prefix

42. IP Address Classes • Class A Address: • First byte value between 1 and 127 • IANA specifies value of 1st byte • Organization chooses IP address for each device by assigning value in last 3 bytes. • Organization has (256 * 256 * 256) = 16 million different IP addresses!! • Example: IP addresses 36.x.x.x are all controlled by Stanford University

43. IP Address Classes • Class B Address: • First byte has value between 128 and 191 • IANA specifies value of 1st and 2nd bytes • Organization chooses IP address for each device by assigning value in last 2 bytes. • Organization has (256 * 256) = 65,536 different IP addresses!! • Example: IP addresses 140.192.x.x are all controlled by DePaul University

44. IP Address Classes • Class C Address: • First byte has value between 192 and 223 • IANA specifies value of 1st, 2nd and 3rd bytes • Organization chooses particular IP address for each device by assigning value in last byte. • Organization gets 256 different IP addresses • Example: IP addresses 207.36.140.x are all controlled by Microsoft Corporation

45. IP Address Classes

46. Other Ways to get IP Addresses • Small businesses and individuals usually don’t go through the IANA

47. The Web • The World Wide Web is a collection of computers on the Internet that use • HTTP protocol to transfer files (web pages) • Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) to represent • Formatting information for display • Clickable Hyperlinks to go to other pages • Web browsers access HTML and other files from servers using HTTP • Web Servers store files and make them available to browsers

48. Web Sites • To publish a Web Site, a user must • Find a Web server, that is • Connected to the Internet at all times (not dial-up access) • Running web server software • Has disk space that can be used for storing files. • Preferably, get good software to help in creating graphics and HTML pages. • Cost: • Many ISPs provide disk space and web page building tools to their clients for a small fee.

49. URLs • Universal Resource Locator (URL) is the format used to specify a particular resource on the Web. <protocol>://<host>/<directory>/<file> • Protocol • HTTP:, TELNET:, FTP:, etc. • Host • Either DNS name or IP address of device on the Internet

50. HTML • Hypertext Markup Language allows a text file to be augmented with tags that specify • Formatting information (font size, bold, italics, table formats, etc) • Locations to include image files (using GIF, JPEG or other graphics formats) • Hyperlinks (highlighted text and an associated URL to go to if clicked) • Associated executable applets (written in Java, Javascript, ??)
