Why Networks are Important
• Data, data, data!
• Modern organizations rely on the efficient transmission of
data
• Enables distributed systems, real-time communication,
electronic commerce, social media, and the Web

Why Networks are Important
• The US Library of Congress is one of the biggest libraries in the World. It has over 167
million items in its collection. If all this data was digitized, it would take up 15
Terrabytes of storage (15 followed by 12 zeroes).
• It is believed that 1.145 trillion MB of data is created daily on Internet
• To put that in perspective
1,145,000,000,000,000,000 / 15,000,000,000,000,000
means that every day we create 76,333 US Libraries of Congress
• All that data flows through networks
• Where is all this data coming from (?)
Perspective
• Netflix has 200 million subscribers and accounts for 1/3 of primetime downstream traffic
• During the holiday season, Amazon can fill 1000 orders per SECOND!
• Facebook has 2 billion users globally
– Average usage time is 1-2 hours per day within the app

Data Communications
• Data Communications is the movement of computer
information from one point to another by means of
electrical or optical transmission systems
• Telecommunications is a broader term and includes the
transmission of voice and video (images and graphics) as
well as data and usually implies longer distances

Basic Network Components
• Client is a user device to access network and receive data
from server
– e.g., desktops, laptops, tablets, cell phones, etc.
• Server is a device that stores and transmits data to a client
– e.g., Web server, mail server, file server
• Circuit is a pathway or connection between client and
server
– e.g., copper wire, fiber optic cable, wireless

Types of Networks
One way to categorize networks is in terms of geographic scope:

Types of Networks
Another way to categorize networks is in terms of access:
• Intranet
– A network (often a LAN) that uses the Internet technologies to share information
within an organization
– Open only those inside the organization
– e.g., employees accessing budgets, calendars, and payroll information available
through the organization’s intranet
• Extranet
– A network that uses the Internet technologies to share information between
organizations
– Open only those invited users outside the organization
– Accessible through the Internet
– e.g., suppliers and customers accessing the inventory information of a company
over an extranet

Network Models
• Network Models divide communication functions into
layers
– Open Systems Interconnection Reference Model (OSI
model)
– Internet Model (or TCP/IP model)

Network Models
• Protocol defines the language of transmission
– It specifies the rules, functionality, and messages for
communication at the layer
• Protocol Data Unit (PDU) contains layer-specific
information necessary for a message to be transmitted
through a network
– Each layer adds a PDU
– PDUs act like nested envelopes
– Encapsulation occurs when a higher level PDU is
placed inside of a lower level PDU

Network Models
• Advantages of Layers
– Networking functionality is modular and the
software/hardware at any layer can be more easily substituted
• E.g., substitute wired for wireless at the physical layer
– Easier to troubleshoot or make changes to one layer at a time
– Application developers only need to worry about the
application layer in their programs
• Disadvantages of Layers
– Inefficient because the encapsulation/de-encapsulation at
each layer requires processing / time
– Inefficient because encapsulation in a PDU increases
overhead at each layer

Network Standards
• Standards ensure that hardware and software from different
vendors work together and “speak the same language”
• De jure standards
– Formalized by an industry or government body
– e.g. HTTP, IEEE 802.3, 802.11n
• De facto standards
– Widely accepted, but not formalized
• Microsoft Windows for operating systems
• Chrome for web browsers
– Often become de jure standards eventually

Trends
• Bring your own device (BYOD) to work
– Huge demand for employees to connect their personal
smartphones, tablets, and other devices to
organizational networks
– Security challenges (?)
– Who is responsible for support?

• The Internet of Things
– Everything connects to the network!
• e.g., cars, refrigerators, thermostats, shoes, doors,
etc.

Trends
– Working from home
– Shift to cloud-based service platforms
– Multiplayer online games
– Massive open online courses (MOOC)
– Millions online participating in social media and other
activities
– Will require greater network infrastructure

Implications for Management
• Networks and the Internet have changed everything
• Today’s networking is driven by standards
• As network demand increases, so will the need for greater
storage
– How much is enough?
