Administrivia

? Project Teams: due by Monday ? Lab1 due today

? Next week ? Lab2 done in class next Friday (Feb 10) ? HW1: Single threaded TCP proxy handed out next week

? Done in groups

? Project Teams due Monday (Feb 6), Project Ideas due following Monday (Feb 13)

? Review chapter 3 from the book, Transport Layer

? We will also briefly discuss data center topologies

? Check website for updated schedule

Big Picture

How do we understand and optimize the (datacenter) systems and network at scale?

Goals for Today

? Application Layer

? Example network applications ? conceptual, implementation aspects of network application

protocols ? client-server paradigm ? transport-layer service models

? Socket Programming

? Client-Server Example

? Backup Slides

? Web Caching ? DNS (Domain Name System)

Some network apps

? e-mail ? web ? text messaging ? remote login ? P2P file sharing ? multi-user network games ? streaming stored video

(YouTube, Hulu, Netflix)

? voice over IP (e.g., Skype) ? real-time video

conferencing ? social networking ? search ?... ?...

Creating a network app

write programs that:

application transport network data link physical

? run on (different) end systems

? communicate over network

? e.g., web server software

communicates with browser

software

no need to write software for network-core devices

? network-core devices do not run user applications

? applications on end systems allows for rapid app development, propagation

application transport network data link physical

application transport network data link physical

Client-Server Architecture

client/server

server:

? always-on host ? permanent IP address ? data centers for scaling

clients:

? communicate with server ? may be intermittently

connected ? may have dynamic IP addresses ? do not communicate directly

with each other

Network Applications

Communicating Processes

process: program running within a host

? within same host, two processes communicate using inter-process communication (defined by OS)

? processes in different hosts communicate by exchanging messages

clients, servers client process: process

that initiates communication

server process: process

that waits to be contacted

aside: applications with P2P architectures have client processes & server processes
