•Every day people are online•We need to communicate• Internet Service Providers (ISP)▫Make this possible▫Web of service providers

•You’ll see:▫Why ISP’s are necessary▫The Network Operations Centers

What is the Internet?

•Worldwide collection of computer networks, cooperating with each other to exchange information using common standards▫Network of networks that connects users in every

country in the world•Do this through:▫Wireless, fiber, telephone lines, satellite & more

The Internet

•Who owns it?▫No one

•What allows computers to communicate?▫Protocols

•There are several organizations that help manage it▫Standards▫Addressing

Imagine…

•What would the Internet be like if no organization granted domain names?▫Might have 1000 www.nintendo.com sites

•What other areas did standards help in?▫Mobile web (other browsers)▫Any device with browser can access Internet▫Use of various devices to access web

Internet Organizations• ISOC Internet Society▫Central leadership organization

• IETF Internet Engineering Task Force▫Proposes solutions to Internet problems▫Recommends protocol standards

• IRTF Internet Research Task Force▫Researches future of Internet▫How to handle transmissions during disaster

• IANA Internet Assigned Numbers Authority▫Bookkeeper of who addresses are assigned to

ISP’s

•What’s an ISP?▫Company that provides

connections & support to access the Internet

•You MUST go through an ISP to get on the Internet

•Name yours & others

ISP Services

•What other services do ISP’s provide?▫Internet access▫Domain name registration▫Web hosting▫Transit to all over

• Internet is a series of ISP’s connected to one another

Connect to the ISP through POP

•Point of Presence•Between your LAN & the ISP•Where you get the ISP’s services- closest point of

connection

Review

1. Describe the Internet.2. What does ISP stand for?

▫ Internet Service Provider3. What does an ISP do?

▫ Provides connection to the Internet4. What is the connection point between the ISP and

your LAN?▫ POP

Options for Connecting to the ISP

•Dial-up- slowest, telephone lines• Cell Phone Modem- decently fast•DSL- high speed over phone lines• Cable Modem- high speed over cable lines• Leased Line- high speed over dedicated digital lines, for

businesses, T1• Satellite- medium speeds

Connecting to the ISP

•Modem is used to connect to ISP•You may have an ISR to connect multiple computers

to the modem

ISP Service Levels• Home Service

▫ Slower speed ▫ Less expensive▫ Less web space▫ Fewer email addresses

• Business Class▫ Faster speed▫ More expensive▫ More web space▫ More email addresses▫ SLA (Service Level Agreements)

Network availability terms Service response time Link

Data

•Data is uploaded or downloaded▫Define each

•There are two types of services for data transfer▫Usually home is different than business

Asymmetric Service•Download transfer rate is

different from upload rate▫Common in homes, most Internet

users▫Download is faster

Symmetric Service•Download transfer rate is same

as upload rate▫Common in businesses or hosting

servers▫Great for uploading lots of video,

data, graphics

Which ISP?

End of Day One

Activity

•Handout Research

•Go home & test your speed HW!

•http://www.speedtest.net

Review1. Name some features that a business class ISP

service would offer that home service does not.2. Describe asymmetric service.3. Describe symmetric service.4. What is a POP?

▫ Connection between LAN & ISP5. What’s the high speed links that connect ISPs

called?▫ Backbone

The Importance of IP

• Internet Protocol▫IP carries what you do on the Internet

With others, like TCP/IP▫Uses packets to carry data▫MUST have source & destination IP address in packet▫Routers read them

IP Packet

•Header contains the IP addresses & control info for routers▫Sometimes called a datagram

• IP addresses MUST be unique• ISP gets blocks of addresses from Internet Registry▫Then they manage & split them up

How an ISP handles Packets•Message is divided into smaller packets▫64-1500 bytes▫Downloading a 1 MB song requires over 600 packets of 1500

bytes each• ISP determines whether packet is for local ISP service or

for remote network

NOC• Controls traffic flow▫ Uses destination IP▫ Passes from router to router

• Has services (web hosting, email)

NOC- Monitoring

NOC- AT &T Monitoring

Network Utilities- Ping•Ping▫End-to-end

connectivity▫Round trip time▫ICMP echo request

Network Utilities- Traceroute

•Traces path from source to destination

•Displays each hop•Shows where problem

is

• In windows, tracert

Traceroute•http://visualroute.visualware.com/

Activities

•Packet Tracer 4.2.3.2- Observe Packet Travel

• Lab 4.2.3.3- Use ping, traceroute, visual traceroute and whois to check connectivity and IP addresses and learn more about how packets travel through the Internet.

Review

The Internet Cloud- 4.3.1•Many routes to a destination▫Bad router- take the back road!

•Cloud represents Internet or another network

Devices in the Cloud•More than just routers in cloud•Technology at home must match tech at ISP▫DSL connects to a DSLAM (access multiplexer)▫Cable Modem connects to a CMTS (termination

system)▫Analog dial-up modem access▫Wireless access

Devices in the Cloud

Devices in the Cloud- At ISP•Must have equipment to connect to other ISPs•Must handle lots of traffic, near 100% uptime,

redundant

Activity- NOC Equipment

Review1. A DSLAM is needed at the ISP for which technology?

▫ DSL2. What does DSL stand for?

▫ Digital Subscriber Line3. A CMTS is needed for which technology?

▫ Cable Modem4. What do you need to connect to the Internet?

▫ IP Address, default Gateway, connection to a network, and an ISP to connect you

ISP Equipment Requirements

•Servers to provide services▫Need steady, reliable power▫UPS

ISP Equipment Requirements

•Air & humidity levels•Cable management▫Protect from damage & kept organized

Review

Common Network Cables

•What’s another name for cable?▫Medium▫Channel

•Copper•Fiber Optic•Wireless

Network Cables We’ll Discuss

Twisted Pair Cabling•Electricity over the copper wires•Pairs twisted inside jacket•Can get EMI•Crosstalk on long runs▫Signal jump cables▫Cat 5 has 3-4 twists per inch▫Makes it more resistant to interference

Kinds of Twisted Pair•UTP▫Electricity▫Inexpensive▫Easy to install▫4 pairs of wires, color

coded▫RJ45 connector

•Cat 5 & 5e▫100 & 1000Mbps

•Cat 6▫1000Mbps & higher

Review

1. What connector is on UTP?▫ RJ45

2. What is the high speed links called that connect ISPs?▫ Backbone

3. A router, switch & access point all in one is called what?▫ ISR

Coax Cable

•Transmits electricity•Better shielding than UTP•Harder to install than UTP• ISP uses these for CMTS

Fiber Optic Cables•Transmits pulses of light•Used in big environments•Glass or plastic▫No EMI

•High speed▫LAN backbone▫Connect ISP to Internet

•2 fibers▫Transmit & receive

Fiber Optic Cables•Multimode▫ Less $, used more▫Used in LANs/Campuses

2000 meters▫ LED▫Many paths of light

•Single Mode▫More $, faster speed▫Connects backbone/NOCs

3000 meters▫ LED laser▫Single path of light

Activity- Fiber or UTP?

Cabling Standards

•Specs for installing & testing cable▫Pinouts (order of wires)▫Wire sizes▫Shielding▫Cable lengths▫Connector types ▫Performance limits

UTP Cables

•TIA/EIA▫568A▫568B

Straight-Through Cable• 568B to 568B• Connect unlike devices▫ Computer to Hub/Switch▫ Switch to router port

•On the PC NIC▫ Pins 1 & 2 transmit▫ Pins 3 & 6 receive

Crossover Cable• 568A to 568B• Like Devices▫ Switch/hub port to switch/hub port▫ Router port to router port▫ PC to router port▫ PC to PC

UTP Termination

•RJ45 male connector• Jack is female

Let’s make cables!•Straight-through•568B to 568B

•White-Orange•Orange•White-Green•Blue•White-Blue•Green•White-Brown•Brown

Let’s make cables!• Crossover• 568B to 568A• Change Oranges & Greens on ONE

SIDE!

•White-Green• Green•White-Orange• Blue•White-Blue•Orange•White-Brown• Brown

Terminating•Patch Panel▫Switchboard▫Quickly

rearrange▫RJ45

• Jacks

Lab

•Terminate to a jack

Testing Cables

•Open▫Wire not in connector▫Break in wire

•Short▫Copper touches another

•Reversed Pair•Split Pair

Other Tests- Degradation

•Attenuation▫Measure of signal strength▫If message fades at destination, will not be understood

•Crosstalk▫Signal leaks onto another pair of wires▫Can happen if cables are not terminated properly or

low quality connectors

Cabling Best Practices- Yes or No•Cable Management▫Keeps wires neat & organized to easily find problems▫Protected from damage

Review

•Which cable would you use:▫In your house?

UTP▫Between buildings?

Fiber▫To your cable modem?

Coax▫Where you get a lot of EMI?

Coax or fiber, NOT UTP!!
