Storage Capacity
  • Every memory device has a storage capacity,
    indicating the number of bytes it can hold
  • Capacities are expressed in various units

Unit Symbol Number of Bytes
KB 210 1024
kilobyte megabyte gigabyte terabyte
MB 220 (over 1 million)
GB 230 (over 1 billion)
TB 240 (over 1 trillion)

  • There are 2N combinations of N bits
  • Therefore, N bits are needed to represent 2N
    unique items

21 2 items
22 4 items
23 8 items
24 16 items
25 32 items
8
The Central Processing Unit (CPU)

The Internet Then and Now
  • The Internet was created by the Advanced Research
    Projects Agency (ARPA) and the U.S. Department of
    Defense for scientific and military
    communications.
  • The Internet is a network of interconnected
    networks. Even if part of its infrastructure was
    destroyed, data could flow through the remaining
    networks.
  • The Internet uses high-speed data lines, called
    backbones, to carry data. Smaller networks
    connect to the backbone, enabling any user on any
    network to exchange data with any other user.
  • ARPANET, NSFnet, Internet
  • Internetworking the process of connecting
    separate networks

How the Internet Works - TCP/IP
  • Every computer and network on the Internet uses
    the same protocols (rules and procedures) to
    control timing and data format.
  • The protocol used by the Internet is the
    Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol,
    or TCP/IP.
  • No matter what type of computer system you
    connect to the Internet, if it uses TCP/IP, it
    can exchange data with any other type of
    computer.

13
How the Internet Works - Routing Traffic Across
the Internet
  • Most computers don't connect directly to the
    Internet. Instead, they connect to a smaller
    network that is connected to the Internet
    backbone.
  • The Internet includes thousands of host computers
    (servers), which provide data and services as
    requested by client systems.
  • When you use the Internet, your PC (a client)
    requests data from a host system. The request
    and data are broken into packets and travel
    across multiple networks before being
    reassembled at their destination.


14
How the Internet Works - Addressing Schemes
  • In order to communicate across the Internet, a
    computer must have a unique address.
  • Every computer on the Internet has a unique
    numeric identifier, called an Internet Protocol
    (IP) address.
  • Each IP address has four parts each part a
    number between 0 and 255. An IP address might
    look like this 205.46.117.104.


15
Protocol LayerComments
Application Protocols LayerProtocols specific to applications such as WWW, e-mail, FTP, etc.
Transmission Control Protocol Layer TCP directs packets to a specific application on a computer using a port number.
Internet Protocol Layer IP directs packets to a specific computer using an IP address.
Hardware Layer Converts binary packet data to network signals and back.(E.g. ethernet network card, modem for phone lines, etc.)
16
How the Internet Works - Domains and Subdomains
  • In addition to an IP address, most Internet
    hosts or servers have a Domain Name System (DNS)
    address, which uses words.
  • A domain name identifies the type of institution
    that owns the computer. An Internet server
    owned by IBM might have the domain name ibm.com.
  • Some enterprises have multiple servers, and
    identify them with subdomains, such as
    products.ibm.com.

Major Features of the Internet - The World Wide
Web
  • The World Wide Web is a part of the Internet,
    which supports hypertext documents, allowing
    users to view and navigate different types of
    data.
  • A Web page is a document encoded with hypertext
    markup language (HTML) tags.
  • HTML allows designers to link content together
    via hyperlinks.
  • Every Web page has an address, a Uniform Resource
    Locator (URL).


19
Major Features of the Internet - File Transfer
Protocol (FTP)
  • File transfer protocol (FTP) is the Internet tool
    used to copy files from one computer to another.
  • Using a special FTP program or a Web browser, you
    can log into an FTP host computer over the
    Internet and copy files onto your computer.
  • FTP is handy for finding and copying software
    files, articles, and other types of data.
    Universities and software companies use FTP
    servers to provide visitors with access to data.

20
Major Features of the Internet - Telnet
  • Telnet is a specialized service that lets you use
    one computer to access the contents of another
    computer a Telnet host.
  • A Telnet program creates a "window" into the host
    so you can access files, issue commands, and
    exchange data.
  • Telnet is widely used by libraries, to allow
    visitors to look up information, find articles,
    and so on.

What Firewall Software Does
  • A firewall is simply a program or hardware device
    that filters the information coming through the
    Internet connection into your private network or c
    omputer system. If an incoming packet of
    information is flagged by the filters, it is not
    allowed through.

23
How Firewalls Work
  • Firewalls use one or more of three methods to
    control traffic flowing in and out of the
    network
  • Packet filtering - Packets (small chunks of data)
    are analyzed against a set of filters. Packets
    that make it through the filters are sent to the
    requesting system and all others are discarded.
  • Proxy service - Information from the Internet is
    retrieved by the firewall and then sent to the
    requesting system and vice versa.
  • Stateful inspection - A newer method that doesn't
    examine the contents of each packet but instead
    compares certain key parts of the packet to a
    database of trusted information. Information
    traveling from inside the firewall to the outside
    is monitored for specific defining
    characteristics, then incoming information is
    compared to these characteristics. If the
    comparison yields a reasonable match, the
    information is allowed through. Otherwise it is
    discarded.

24
Firewall filters
  • Firewall Configuration Firewalls are
    customizable. This means that you can add or
    remove filters based on several conditions. Some
    of these are
  • IP addresses - A typical IP address looks like
    this 216.27.61.137. For example, if a certain IP
    address outside the company is reading too many
    files from a server, the firewall can block all
    traffic to or from that IP address.
  • Domain names -. A company might block all access
    to certain domain names, or allow access only to
    specific domain names.
  • Protocols - The protocol is the pre-defined way
    that someone who wants to use a service talks
    with that service. The http in the Web's
    protocol. Some common protocols that you can set
    firewall filters for include (next slide)
  • Ports - Any server machine makes its services
    available to the Internet using numberedports,
    one for each service that is available on the
    server. For example, if a server machine is
    running a Web (HTTP) server and an FTP server,
    the Web server would typically be available on
    port 80, and the FTP server would be available on
    port 21. A company might block port 21 access on
    all machines but one inside the company.
  • Specific words and phrases - This can be
    anything. The firewall will sniff (search
    through) each packet of information for an exact
    match of the text listed in the filter.
