100BaseT
100Mbps
1000BaseT
1000Mbps or 1Gbps
Correction from the book (pg. 10)
Why do we get faster connection at work or on
campus than at home?
11. LAN (Local Area Network)
Question: Can 2 computers communicate by
connecting each other using an Ethernet
cable back-to-back?
12. WLAN (Wireless LAN)
Wi-Fi (Wireless Fidelity)
A wireless technology that connects computers without
cables
Access Point (AP)
A device (base station) that connects wireless devices
together
Usually connected to a wired-network
ESSID (Extended Service Set ID)
A “name” for the AP, eg. mobilenet
Hotspot
The area covered by wireless access points
14. Dial-up Services
Modem
Modulator/demodulator
A device that converts analog signal to digital
(modulation) and vice versa (demodulation)
Speed
1200/2400/9600 bps
14.4/28.8/33.6 Kbps
56 Kbps
15. Dial-up Services
ISDN
Integrated Services Digital Network
2 data channel (56K each)
1 voice channel
16. Broadband Services
xDSL (Digital Subscriber Line)
A technology that provides digital data transmission over
unused frequencies on traditional telephone lines
For example, ADSL (Asymmetric DSL): DL > UL
Speed
Downlink
128Kbps - 4Mbps
Uplink
64Kbps - 800Kbps
Need a DSL modem
Splitters are needed to separate the voice and data
signal
17. Broadband Services
Cable
A technology that provides digital data transmission over
cable TV infrastructure
Speed
Downlink
128Kbps - 3~5Mbps
Uplink
64Kbps - 128Kbps~1Mbps
Need a cable modem
18. Broadband Services
Satellite
A technology that provide digital data transmission over
satellites
Speed
Downlink
500Kbps - 1Mbps
Uplink
50Kbps - 100Kbps
Need a satellite dish
19. WAN (Wide Area Network)
A LAN spans a large geographic area,
such as connections between cities
Usually connected using leased line
T1 (1.5Mbps)
T3 (45Mbps)
OC3 (155Mbps)
OC12 (622Mbps)
OC48 (2.4Gbps)
Fiber optic lines
Telecommunication lines
20. Hub/Switch/Router
To connect multiple segments of networks
into a larger one
Hub
A multiport repeater to enhance signal within the
same LAN
Switch
Like hub but with intelligent
Better performance
Router
Forward packets from one LAN to another
21. Intranet vs. Internet
Intranet
A private network that is contained within an
enterprise
Could be LANs and WANs
Internet
A public network of networks
Both are using TCP/IP
22. TCP/IP
A family of protocols that makes the Internet
works
The Robustness Principle
“Be liberal in what you accept, and conservative in
what you send” - Jon Postel
23. TCP/IP (cont)
Application Layer
Eg. WWW, FTP, IRC, Email, telnet, …
Transport Layer
Eg. TCP, UDP
Network Layer
Eg. IP
Link Layer
Eg. Ethernet, WiFi
Physical Layer
Eg. Ethernet Cable, fiber-optics
Segments
Packets
Frames
Bits
Data
24. Packets
A small chunk of data transmitted over the
Internet
Alice
The
Internet
Bob
25. VPN (Virtual Private Network)
A secure tunnel to a private network through
a public network
Once established, local node appears to be a
node in the private network in a secure
manner
Correction from the book (pg. 11):
VPN does not mean using telephone line
connection!!!
26. Host & IP Address
Correction from the book:
“A host is a computer connected directly to the
Internet”
“You home computer is not a host”
Each host needs an IP address
IP address
A 32-bit number, arranged in 4 numbers
seperated by “.”
Eg. 74.125.19.147
27. DNS (Domain Name System)
Domain name to IP address conversion
Eg. www.google.com → ??.???.??.??
Domain name or IP address lookup
http://cqcounter.com/whois/
29. Second-level Domains
Domains that are directly below a TLD
Eg.
ucr.edu
google.com
sony.co.jp
Must apply to a registrar for the appropriate
TLD
30. Domain Names & Registrars
Profitable domain names
CreditCards.com - $2.75M
Loans.com – $3M
Business.com - $7.5M
Network Solutions, Inc used to monopolize
the name registration
Now, ~500 registrars
31. How To Register A Domain Name?
Come up a new name
2 name servers’ IP addresses
1 administrative contact
1 technical contact
Register the name to an Internet domain
registrar
Eg. www.netsol.com, www.godaddy.com
Used to be done via email or fax, now all web-based!
32. Policies

unlawful use of its service, and outlines prohibited
uses of the service and possible consequences of
misuse
Privacy Policies
A document describes an ISP’s policy for
protecting users’ information
