Types of Interconnections• Massively Parallel Processors (MPP)

– Thousands of nodes– Short distances

• Local Area Networks (LAN)– Hundreds of computers– Several kilometers– Traffic many to one (clients to servers)

• Wide Area Network (WAN)– Thousands of computers– Thousands of kilometers– Scalable

Types of Interconnections• Massively Parallel Processors (MPP)

– Tightly coupled– Share memory and sometimes clock

• Local Area Networks (LAN)• Wide Area Network (WAN)

– Loosely coupled– Do not share memory and clock– Each processor has its own local memory– Communication via networks

Basic Concepts

Machine A Machine B

Each machine has the ability to send a message to the othera.) Please send me the contents of address xb.) Here is the contents of address x

Thus, messages must contain an extra bit.

Each machine has the ability to send a message to the othera.) Please send me the contents of address xb.) Here is the contents of address x

Thus, messages must contain an extra bit.

Basic Concepts

• Messages are divided into parts– Payload or actual data to be transferred– Header (or trailer) data used to control the message

passing scheme

• System must be designed to work well with operating system.– Multiple Processes– Error Handling

tells it to send message

• Wait...

Reception• Copy data from network hardware into operating

system buffer• Calculate checksum from data• If calculated checksum matches included

There is an old network saying: Bandwidth problems can be cured with money. Latency problems are harder because the speed of light is

fixed--you can’t bribe God.

Questions?

Questions?• Where do you connect the network to the

computer?

• Which media are available to connect computers together?

• What issues arise when connecting more than two computers

• Additional practical issues?

Connecting the Computer• Connection Point

– Memory Bus– I/O Bus

• Control– Polling– Interrupts

• Operating System Involvement

Connecting the Computer• Connection Point

– Memory Bus MPP– I/O Bus LAN/WAN

• Control– Polling Hybrid– Interrupts Approaches

• Operating System Involvement– Avoid invoking O.S. in common case

Hierarchy of Media• Twisted Pair

• Coaxial Cable

• Fiber Optics

Question• Why is twisted pair twisted?

1. Keeps cable from kinking i.e. adds strength

2. Avoids electromagnetic interference

3. Keeps matching pairs grouped together in large bundle cables

4. Invented by Dee Snyder

Media• Twisted Pair

– 1 Mb/Sec 2 km $0.23/m + $15– 20 Mb/sec 0.1 km $0.23/m

• Coaxial Cable– 10 Mb/sec 1 km $1.64 + $460

• Multimode Fiber– 600 Mb/sec 2 km $1.03 + $2000

• Single-Mode Fiber– 2000 Mb/sec 100 km $1.64 + $2000

Questions?

So far how many computers have we connected?

Connecting > 2• Shared Media

– Bus– Ethernet (Vampire Taps)– Coordination Mechanism– Carrier Sensing and Collision Detection– Broadcast

• Switched Media– Better utilization of bandwidth– Point to point

More About Rings

• Token Ring– Nodes pass token from one to another– When you have token you can send

Comparison• Ethernet

– CSMA/CD allows any node to talk at any time unless two talk at the same time

– Efficient at low loads

– As the number of hosts increases performance degrades

• Token Ring– Token being passed

around ring only allows node holding token to talk

– Less efficient than Ethernet at low loads

– As number of nodes increases performance slows but performance is predictable

Connection vs. Connectionless• Phone System

– To make call a connection or circuit was connected (might be multiplexed).

– Not a bad idea for voice– Connection exists whether or not anyone is talking.– Limit is number of conversations NOT amount of data

• Postal System– Each piece of information is routed according to its

address– Long messages can be broken up into pieces or

packets (or frames).

Routing• Shared Media

– Message goes to all nodes. Each looks at address to determine if they are recipient

• Switched Media– Source-based routing

• Message specifies path to destination

– Virtual circuits• Temporary or permanent

– Destination-based routing• Deterministic• Adaptive• Random

Routing Policies• Store and Forward

• Wormhole

• http://www.johnlockhart.com/research/janet/

Congestion Control• Circuit switched

– “All circuits are busy”

• Packet switched– Deadlock– Reducing Congestion

• Packet discarding!• Flow control (Window used by TCP)• Choke packets

Questions?

The Ethernet

A drawing of the first Ethernet system by Bob Metcalfe.

Ethernet Evolution• X_Base_Y

– X stands for the available media bandwidth– Base stands for base band signaling on the

medium– Y stands for the maximum distance a station

can be from the vampire tap (i.e. Length of Attach Unit Interface)

Ethernet Evolution• 10_base_5 (1979-1985)

– 10 Mbits/Sec with base band signaling with a maximum station distance of 500 meters

– Thick shielded copper conductor used as the medium

MAU-Medium Access Unit

• 10_base_2 (1985-1993)– “Thin net”, “cheaper net”– Distance to the “station” shrinks to 200 meters– No more vampire taps– BNC* connector to connect the stations to the Attach

Unit Interface (AUI) cables, the AUI cables to the medium

– The medium is daisy-chained via the stations using the BNC connectors

*Bayonet Neil-Concelman, or

sometimes British Naval Connector

*Bayonet Neil-Concelman, or

sometimes British Naval Connector

• 10_base_T (1993-1995)– Attach Unit Interface (AUI) is a twisted pair of copper

wires

– AUIs from the stations come to a “hub” which is a multiplexor/transceiver

– Did away with the BNC connectors which were a source of “connector” problems

– Use phone jack technology (RJ45 connectors) to connect AUI cables to the hub

– Hubs are connected to other hubs using the same connectors (RJ45)

• 10_base_T (1993-1995) continued– All the hubs together form the entire medium– All the stations in the “same” collision domain– Hub is also usually called a repeater

More Ethernet• 10BROAD36 - 10BROAD36 is a seldom used Ethernet

specification which uses a physical medium similar to cable television, with CATV-type cables, taps, connectors, and amplifiers.

• 1BASE5 - 1BASE5 is a specification of Ethernet that runs at 1 Mb/s over twisted pair wiring. This physical topology uses centralized hubs to connect the network devices.

• FOIRL - Fiber Optic Inter-Repeater Link - This specification of the 802.3 standard defines a standard means of connecting Ethernet repeaters via optical fiber.

More Ethernet• 10BASE-F - 10BASE-F is a set of optical fiber medium

specifications which define connectivity between devices.

• 100BASE-T - 100BASE-T is a series of specifications that provides 100 megabit speeds over copper or fiber. These topologies are often referred to as Fast Ethernet.

• Gigabit Ethernet - Gigabit Ethernet provides speeds of 1000 Mb/s over copper and fiber.

Where will it end???

Broadband vs. Baseband• A baseband network has a single channel that is

used for communication between stations. Ethernet specifications which use BASE in the name refer to baseband networks.

• A broadband network is much like cable television, where different services communicate across different frequencies on the same cable.

• Broadband communications would allow a Ethernet network to share the same physical cable as voice or video services. 10BROAD36 is an example of broadband networking.

Current Technology• Most modern Ethernet networks use

twisted pair copper cabling or fiber to attach devices to the network. The 10BASE-T, 100BASE-T, and Gigabit Ethernet topologies are well suited for the modern cabling and fiber infrastructures.

Ethernet• The various Ethernet specifications

include a maximum distance

• What do we do if we want to go further?

• Repeater– Hardware device used to extend a LAN– Amplifies all signals on one segment of a LAN

and transmits them to another– Passes on whatever it receives (GIGO)

• Knows nothing of packets, addresses

– Any limit?

Bridges• We want to improve performance over that

provided by a simple repeater

• Add functionality (i.e. more hardware)– Bridge can detect if a frame is valid and then

(and only then) pass it to next segment– Bridge does not forward interference or other

problems

• Computers connected over a bridged LAN don't know that they are communicating over a bridge

Bridges• Typical bridge consists of conventional

CPU, memory and two NIC's.

• Does more than just pass information from one segment to another

• A bridge can be constructed to– Only pass valid frame if necessary– Learn what is connected to network "on the

fly"

Bridges

V sends to U U, V -

Z broadcasts U, V Z

Y sends to V U, V Z, Y

Y sends to X U, V Z, Y

X sends to W U, V Z, Y, X

W sends to Z U, V, W Z, Y, X

BRIDGE X Y ZU V W

Bridges• A bridge will connect to distinct segments

(usually referring to a physical length of wire) and transmit traffic between them.

• This allows you to extend the maximum size of the network while still not breaking the maximum wire length, attached device count, or number of repeaters for a network segment.

Virtual LANs

• VLANs may span bridges– Nodes 1 and 5 same VLAN; 2, 6, 7 same VLAN– All nodes on the same VLAN hear broadcasts from

any node on that VLAN– VLAN limits the traffic flow among bridges– A hierarchical network with only bridges results in a

switched ethernet with no collisions!

Network Interface Card• NIC

– Sits on the host station– Allows a host to connect to a hub or a bridge– If connected to a hub, then NIC has to use

half-duplex mode of communication (i.e. it can only send or receive at a time)

– If connected to a bridge, then NIC (if it is smart) can use either half/full duplex mode

– Bridges learn Media Access Control (MAC) address and the speed of the NIC it is talking to.

Routers• Work much like bridges

• Pay attention to the upper network layer protocols – (OSI layer 3) rather than physical layer (OSI layer 1)

protocols.

• Will decide whether to forward a packet by looking at the protocol level addresses (for instance, TCP/IP addresses) rather than the MAC address.

Routers• Because routers work at layer 3 of the OSI

stack, it is possible for them to transfer packets between different media types (i.e., leased lines, Ethernet, token ring, X.25, Frame Relay and FDDI). Many routers can also function as bridges.

Routers• Repeaters and Bridges understand only Media

Access Control (MAC) addresses– Traffic flow between nodes entirely based on MAC

addresses• Packet from a host station: <mac-addr, payload>

• Routers understand IP addresses– Special board that sits inside a bridge– IP layer on all nodes send packets destined outside

the LAN to the router– Router sees a packet as: <ip-hdr, payload>

• uses the ip-hdr to route the packet on to internet
