Preface
Welcome to the eighth edition of Computer Networking: A Top-Down Approach.
Since the publication of the first edition 20 years ago, our book has been adopted
for use at many hundreds of colleges and universities, translated into 14 languages,
and used by many hundreds of thousands students and practitioners worldwide. We’ve
heard from many of these readers and have been overwhelmed by the ­positive ­response.
What’s New in the Eighth Edition?
We think one important reason for this success has been that our book continues to
offer a fresh and timely approach to computer networking instruction. We’ve made
changes in this eighth edition, but we’ve also kept unchanged what we believe (and
the instructors and students who have used our book have confirmed) to be the most
important aspects of this book: its top-down approach, its focus on the Internet and a
modern treatment of computer networking, its attention to both principles and prac-
tice, and its accessible style and approach toward learning about computer network-
ing. Nevertheless, the eighth edition has been revised and updated substantially.
Readers of earlier editions of our book may recall that in moving from the sixth to
the seventh edition, we deepened our coverage of the network layer, expanding material
which had been previously covered in a single chapter into a new chapter focused
on the so-called “data plane” component of the network layer (Chapter 4) and a new
chapter focused on the network layer’s “control plane” (Chapter 5). That change
turned out to be prescient, as software-defined networking (SDN), arguably the most
important and exciting advance in networking in decades, has been rapidly adopted
in practice—so much so that it’s already hard to imagine an introduction to modern
computer networking that doesn’t cover SDN. SDN has also enabled new advances
in the practice of network management, which we also cover in modernized and deep-
er detail in this edition. And as we’ll see in Chapter 7 of this eighth edition, the separa-
tion of the data and control planes is now also deeply embedded in 4G/5G mobile
cellular network architectures, as is an “all-IP” approach to their core networks. The
rapid adoption of 4G/5G networks and the mobile applications they enable are un-
doubtedly the most significant changes we’ve seen in networking since the publication
of our seventh edition. We’ve thus significantly updated and deepened our treatment
of this exciting area. Indeed, the ongoing wireless network revolution is so important
that we think it has become a critical part of an introductory networking course.
In addition to these changes, we’ve also updated many sections throughout the
book and added new material to reflect changes across the breadth of networking.
In some cases, we have also retired material from the previous edition. As always,
vii

viii     PREFACE
material that has been retired from the printed text can always be found on our book’s
Companion Website. The most important changes in this eighth edition are the following:
• Chapter 1 has been updated to reflect the ever-growing reach and use of the In-
ternet, and of 4G/5G networks.
• Chapter 2, which covers the application layer, has been significantly updated,
including material on the new HTTP/2 and HPPT/3 protocols for the Web.
• Chapter 3, has been updated to reflect advances in, and evolution in use of,
transport-layer congestion control and error-control protocols over the past five
years. While this material had remained relatively stable for quite some time,
there have been a number of important advances since the seventh edition. Several
new congestion-control algorithms have been developed and deployed beyond
the “classic” TCP algorithms. We provide a deeper coverage of TCP CUBIC, the
default TCP protocol in many deployed systems, and examine delay-based ap-
proaches to congestion control, including the new BBR protocol, which is de-
ployed in Google’s backbone network. We also study the QUIC protocol, which
is being incorporated into the HTTP/3 standard. Although QUIC is technically
not a transport-layer protocol—it provides application-layer reliability, conges-
tion control, and connection multiplexing services at the application layer—it
uses many of the error- and congestion-control principles that we develop in the
early sections of Chapter 3.
• Chapter 4, which covers the network-layer data plane, has general updates
throughout. We’ve added a new section on so-called middleboxes, which per-
form network-layer functions other than routing and forwarding, such as firewall-
ing and load balancing. Middleboxes build naturally on the generalized “match
plus action” forwarding operation of network-layer devices that we cover earlier
in Chapter 4. We’ve also added timely new material on topics such as the amount
of buffering that is “just right” in network routers, on net neutrality, and on the
architectural principles of the Internet.
• Chapter 5, which cover the network-layer’s control plane, contains updated ma-
terial on SDN, and a significantly new treatment of network management. The
use of SDN has evolved beyond management of packet-forwarding tables to in-
clude configuration management of network devices as well. We introduce two
new protocols, NETCONF and YANG, whose adoption and use have fueled this
new approach toward network management.
• Chapter 6, which covers the link layer, has been updated to reflect the continu-
ing evolution of link-layer technologies such as Ethernet. We have also updated
and expanded our treatment of datacenter networks, which are at the heart of the
technology driving much of today’s Internet commerce.
• As noted earlier, Chapter 7 has been significantly updated and revised to reflect
the many changes in wireless networking since the seventh edition, from short-
range Bluetooth piconets, to medium-range wireless 802.11 local area networks
(WLANs), to wide-area 4G/5G wireless cellular networks. We have retired our

PREFACE     ix
coverage of earlier 2G and 3G networks in favor of a broader and deeper treat-
ment of today’s 4G LTE networks and tomorrow’s 5G networks. We have also
updated our coverage of mobility issues, from the local issue of handover of mo-
bile devices between base stations to the global issue of identity management and
mobile device roaming among different global cellular networks.
• Chapter 8, which covers network security, has been updated to reflect changes
in wireless network security in particular, with new material on WPA3 security in
WLANs, and mutual device/network mutual authentication and confidentiality in
4G/5G networks.
We have also retired Chapter 9, on multimedia networking, from this edition. Over
time, as multimedia applications became more prevalent, we had already migrated
Chapter 9 material on topics such as video streaming, packet scheduling, and content
distribution networks into earlier chapters. As noted earlier, all retired material from
this and earlier editions can be found on our book’s Companion Website.
Audience
This textbook is for a first course on computer networking. It can be used in both
computer science and electrical engineering departments. In terms of programming
languages, the book assumes only that the student has experience with C, C++, Java,
or Python (and even then only in a few places). Although this book is more precise
and analytical than many other introductory computer networking texts, it rarely uses
any mathematical concepts that are not taught in high school. We have made a delib-
erate effort to avoid using any advanced calculus, probability, or stochastic process
concepts (although we’ve included some homework problems for students with this
advanced background). The book is therefore appropriate for undergraduate courses
and for first-year graduate courses. It should also be useful to practitioners in the
networking industry.
What Is Unique About This Textbook?
The subject of computer networking is enormously complex, involving many con-
cepts, protocols, and technologies that are woven together in an intricate manner.
To cope with this scope and complexity, many computer networking texts are often
organized around the “layers” of a network architecture. With a layered organization,
students can see through the complexity of computer networking—they learn about
the distinct concepts and protocols in one part of the architecture while seeing the
big picture of how all parts fit together. From a pedagogical perspective, our personal
experience has been that such a layered approach indeed works well. Nevertheless,
we have found that the traditional approach of teaching—bottom up; that is, from the
physical layer toward the application layer—is not the best approach for a modern
course on computer networking.

x     PREFACE
A Top-Down Approach
Our book broke new ground 20 years ago by treating networking in a top-down
­manner—that is, by beginning at the application layer and working its way down
toward the physical layer. The feedback we received from teachers and students alike
have confirmed that this top-down approach has many advantages and does indeed
work well pedagogically. First, it places emphasis on the application layer (a “high
growth area” in networking). Indeed, many of the recent revolutions in computer
networking—including the Web, and media streaming—have taken place at the
­application layer. An early emphasis on application-layer issues differs from the
­approaches taken in most other texts, which have only a small amount of material on
network applications, their requirements, application-layer paradigms (e.g., client-
server and peer-to-peer), and application programming interfaces. Second, our expe-
rience as instructors (and that of many instructors who have used this text) has been
that teaching networking applications near the beginning of the course is a powerful
motivational tool. Students are thrilled to learn about how networking applications
work—applications such as e-mail, streaming video, and the Web, which most stu-
dents use on a daily basis. Once a student understands the applications, the student
can then understand the network services needed to support these applications. The
student can then, in turn, examine the various ways in which such services might be
provided and implemented in the lower layers. Covering applications early thus pro-
vides motivation for the remainder of the text.
Third, a top-down approach enables instructors to introduce network applica-
tion development at an early stage. Students not only see how popular applica-
tions and protocols work, but also learn how easy it is to create their own network
­applications and application-layer protocols. With the top-down approach, students
get early ­exposure to the notions of socket programming, service models, and
­protocols—important concepts that resurface in all subsequent layers. By providing
socket programming examples in Python, we highlight the central ideas without
confusing students with complex code. Undergraduates in electrical engineering
and computer science will have no difficulty following the Python code.
An Internet Focus
Although we dropped the phrase “Featuring the Internet” from the title of this book
with the fourth edition, this doesn’t mean that we dropped our focus on the Internet.
Indeed, nothing could be further from the case! Instead, since the Internet has become
so pervasive, we felt that any networking textbook must have a significant focus on
the Internet, and thus this phrase was somewhat unnecessary. We continue to use the
Internet’s architecture and protocols as primary vehicles for studying fundamental
computer networking concepts. Of course, we also include concepts and protocols
from other network architectures. But the spotlight is clearly on the Internet, a fact
reflected in our organizing the book around the Internet’s five-layer architecture: the
application, transport, network, link, and physical layers.

PREFACE     xi
Another benefit of spotlighting the Internet is that most computer science and
electrical engineering students are eager to learn about the Internet and its protocols.
They know that the Internet has been a revolutionary and disruptive technology and
can see that it is profoundly changing our world. Given the enormous relevance of
the Internet, students are naturally curious about what is “under the hood.” Thus, it
is easy for an instructor to get students excited about basic principles when using the
Internet as the guiding focus.
Teaching Networking Principles
Two of the unique features of the book—its top-down approach and its focus on the
Internet—have appeared in the titles of our book. If we could have squeezed a third
phrase into the subtitle, it would have contained the word principles. The field of
networking is now mature enough that a number of fundamentally important issues
can be identified. For example, in the transport layer, the fundamental issues include
reliable communication over an unreliable network layer, connection establishment/
teardown and handshaking, congestion and flow control, and multiplexing. Three fun-
damentally important network-layer issues are determining “good” paths between two
routers, interconnecting a large number of heterogeneous networks, and managing the
complexity of a modern network. In the link layer, a fundamental problem is sharing a
multiple access channel. In network security, techniques for providing confidentiality,
authentication, and message integrity are all based on cryptographic fundamentals.
This text identifies fundamental networking issues and studies approaches toward
­addressing these issues. The student learning these principles will gain knowledge
with a long “shelf life”—long after many of today’s network standards and protocols
have become obsolete, the principles they embody will remain important and rel-
evant. We believe that the combination of using the Internet to get the student’s foot in
the door and then emphasizing fundamental issues and solution approaches will allow
the student to quickly understand just about any networking technology.
Student Resources
Student resources are available on the Companion Website (CW) at pearson.com/
cs-resources. Resources include:
• Interactive learning material. The book’s Website contains ­VideoNotes—
video presentations of important topics throughout the book done by the authors,
as well as walkthroughs of solutions to problems similar to those at the end
of the chapter. We’ve seeded the Website with VideoNotes and online prob-
lems for Chapters 1 through 5. As in earlier editions, the Website contains
the interactive animations that illustrate many key networking concepts. Pro-
fessors can integrate these interactive features into their lectures or use them
as mini labs.
A01_KURO1557_08_SE_FM.indd 11 12/02/20 10:57 AM

xii     PREFACE
• Additional technical material. As we have added new material in each edition of
our book, we’ve had to remove coverage of some existing topics to keep the book
at manageable length. Material that appeared in earlier editions of the text is still
of ­interest, and thus can be found on the book’s Website.
• Programming assignments. The Website also provides a number of detailed
programming assignments, which include building a multithreaded Web ­server,
building an e-mail client with a GUI interface, programming the sender and
­receiver sides of a reliable data transport protocol, programming a distributed
routing algorithm, and more.
• Wireshark labs. One’s understanding of network protocols can be greatly
­deepened by seeing them in action. The Website provides numerous Wireshark
assignments that enable students to actually observe the sequence of messages
exchanged between two protocol entities. The Website includes separate Wire-
shark labs on HTTP, DNS, TCP, UDP, IP, ICMP, Ethernet, ARP, WiFi, TLS and
on tracing all protocols involved in satisfying a request to fetch a Web page. We’ll
continue to add new labs over time.
Authors’ Website. In addition to the Companion Website, the authors maintain
a public Website, http://gaia.cs.umass.edu/kurose_ross, which contains additional
interactive material for students and mirrors publically available material from the
Website, such as PowerPoint slides and Wireshark lab materials. Of particular interest
is http://gaia.cs.umass.edu/kurose_ross/interactive, containing interactive exercises
that create (and present solutions for) problems similar to selected end-of-chapter
problems. Since students can generate (and view solutions for) an unlimited number
of similar problem instances, they can work until the material is truly mastered.
Pedagogical Features
We have each been teaching computer networking for more than 30 years. Together,
we bring more than 60 years of teaching experience to this text, during which time
we have taught many thousands of students. We have also been active researchers
in computer networking during this time. (In fact, Jim and Keith first met each other
as master’s students in a computer networking course taught by Mischa Schwartz
in 1979 at Columbia University.) We think all this gives us a good perspective on
where networking has been and where it is likely to go in the future. Nevertheless,
we have resisted temptations to bias the material in this book toward our own pet
research projects. We figure you can visit our personal Websites if you are interested
in our research. Thus, this book is about modern computer networking—it is about
contemporary protocols and technologies as well as the underlying principles behind
these protocols and technologies. We also believe that learning (and teaching!) about
networking can be fun. A sense of humor, use of analogies, and real-world examples
in this book will hopefully make this material more fun.

Supplements for Instructors
We provide a complete supplements package to aid instructors in teaching this
course. This material can be accessed from Pearson’s Instructor Resource Center
(http://www.pearsonhighered.com/irc). Visit the Instructor Resource Center for
­information about accessing these instructor’s supplements.
• PowerPoint
®
slides. We provide PowerPoint slides for all eight chapters. The
slides have been completely updated with this eighth edition. The slides cover
each chapter in detail. They use graphics and animations (rather than relying only
on monotonous text bullets) to make the slides interesting and visually appealing.
We provide the original PowerPoint slides so you can customize them to best suit
your own teaching needs. Some of these slides have been contributed by other
instructors who have taught from our book.
• Homework solutions. We provide a solutions manual for the homework prob-
lems in the text, programming assignments, and Wireshark labs. As noted
­earlier, we’ve introduced many new homework problems at each chapter’s end.
For additional interactive problems and solutions, an instructor (and students)
can consult this books Companion Website at Pearson, or the authors’ Website
of interactive problems at http://gaia.cs.umass.edu/kurose_ross/interactive.
Chapter Dependencies
The first chapter of this text presents a self-contained overview of computer net-
working. Introducing many key concepts and terminology, this chapter sets the stage
for the rest of the book. All of the other chapters directly depend on this first chapter.
After completing Chapter 1, we recommend instructors cover Chapters 2 through 6
in sequence, following our top-down philosophy. Each of these five chapters lever-
ages material from the preceding chapters. After completing the first six chapters,
the instructor has quite a bit of flexibility. There are no interdependencies among the
last two chapters, so they can be taught in any order. However, the last two chapters
depends on the material in the first six chapters. Many instructors first teach the first
six chapters and then teach one of the last two chapters for “dessert.”
One Final Note: We’d Love to Hear from You
We encourage students and instructors to e-mail us with any comments they might
have about our book. It’s been wonderful for us to hear from so many instructors and
students from around the world about our first seven editions. We’ve incorporated
many of these suggestions into later editions of the book. We also encourage instructors
A01_KURO1557_08_SE_FM.indd 13 13/02/20 9:38 AM

xiv     PREFACE
to send us new homework problems (and solutions) that would complement the cur-
rent homework problems. We’ll post these on the instructor-only portion of the Web-
site. We also encourage instructors and students to create new interactive animations
that illustrate the concepts and protocols in this book. If you have an animation that
you think would be appropriate for this text, please submit it to us. If the animation
(including notation and terminology) is appropriate, we’ll be happy to include it on
the text’s Website, with an appropriate reference to the animation’s authors.
So, as the saying goes, “Keep those cards and letters coming!” Seriously, please
do continue to send us interesting URLs, point out typos, disagree with any of our
claims, and tell us what works and what doesn’t work. Tell us what you think should
or shouldn’t be included in the next edition. Send your e-mail to [email protected]
.edu and [email protected].

We also want to thank the entire Pearson team—in particular, Carole Snyder and
Tracy Johnson—who have done an absolutely outstanding job on this eighth edition
(and who have put up with two very finicky authors who seem congenitally unable
to meet deadlines!). Thanks also to artists, Janet Theurer and Patrice Rossi Calkin,
for their work on the beautiful figures in earlier editions of our book, and to Manas
Roy and his team at SPi Global for their wonderful production work on this edition.
­Finally, a most special thanks go to our previous editors at ­Addison-Wesley and
Pearson—Matt Goldstein, Michael Hirsch, and Susan Hartman. This book would not
be what it is (and may well not have been at all) without their graceful management,
constant encouragement, nearly infinite patience, good humor, and perseverance.

Today’s Internet is arguably the largest engineered system ever created by mankind,
with hundreds of millions of connected computers, communication links, and
switches; with billions of users who connect via laptops, tablets, and smartphones;
and with an array of new Internet-connected “things” including game consoles, sur-
veillance systems, watches, eye glasses, thermostats, and cars. Given that the Inter-
net is so large and has so many diverse components and uses, is there any hope of
understanding how it works? Are there guiding principles and structure that can
provide a foundation for understanding such an amazingly large and complex sys-
tem? And if so, is it possible that it actually could be both interesting and fun to
learn about computer networks? Fortunately, the answer to all of these questions is
a resounding YES! Indeed, it’s our aim in this book to provide you with a modern
introduction to the dynamic field of computer networking, giving you the princi-
ples and practical insights you’ll need to understand not only today’s networks, but
tomorrow’s as well.
This first chapter presents a broad overview of computer networking and the
Internet. Our goal here is to paint a broad picture and set the context for the rest
of this book, to see the forest through the trees. We’ll cover a lot of ground in this
introductory chapter and discuss a lot of the pieces of a computer network, without
losing sight of the big picture.
We’ll structure our overview of computer networks in this chapter as follows.
After introducing some basic terminology and concepts, we’ll first examine the basic
hardware and software components that make up a network. We’ll begin at the net-
work’s edge and look at the end systems and network applications running in the
network. We’ll then explore the core of a computer network, examining the links

and the switches that transport data, as well as the access networks and physical
media that connect end systems to the network core. We’ll learn that the Internet is
a network of networks, and we’ll learn how these networks connect with each other.
After having completed this overview of the edge and core of a computer net-
work, we’ll take the broader and more abstract view in the second half of this chap-
ter. We’ll examine delay, loss, and throughput of data in a computer network and
provide simple quantitative models for end-to-end throughput and delay: models
that take into account transmission, propagation, and queuing delays. We’ll then
introduce some of the key architectural principles in computer networking, namely,
protocol layering and service models. We’ll also learn that computer networks are
vulnerable to many different types of attacks; we’ll survey some of these attacks and
consider how computer networks can be made more secure. Finally, we’ll close this
chapter with a brief history of computer networking.
1.1 What Is the Internet?
In this book, we’ll use the public Internet, a specific computer network, as our prin-
cipal vehicle for discussing computer networks and their protocols. But what is the
Internet? There are a couple of ways to answer this question. First, we can describe
the nuts and bolts of the Internet, that is, the basic hardware and software components
that make up the Internet. Second, we can describe the Internet in terms of a network-
ing infrastructure that provides services to distributed applications. Let’s begin with
the nuts-and-bolts description, using Figure 1.1 to illustrate our discussion.
1.1.1 A Nuts-and-Bolts Description
The Internet is a computer network that interconnects billions of computing devices
throughout the world. Not too long ago, these computing devices were primarily
traditional desktop computers, Linux workstations, and so-called servers that store
and transmit information such as Web pages and e-mail messages. Increasingly,
however, users connect to the Internet with smartphones and tablets—today, close
to half of the world’s population are active mobile Internet users with the percentage
expected to increase to 75% by 2025 [Statista 2019]. Furthermore, nontraditional
Internet “things” such as TVs, gaming consoles, thermostats, home security systems,
home appliances, watches, eye glasses, cars, traffic control systems, and more are
being connected to the Internet. Indeed, the term computer network is beginning to
sound a bit dated, given the many nontraditional devices that are being hooked up to
the Internet. In Internet jargon, all of these devices are called hosts or end systems.
By some estimates, there were about 18 billion devices connected to the Internet in
2017, and the number will reach 28.5 billion by 2022 [Cisco VNI 2020].

4 CHAPTER 1 • COMPUTER NETWORKS AND THE INTERNET
End systems are connected together by a network of communication links and
packet switches. We’ll see in Section 1.2 that there are many types of communica-
tion links, which are made up of different types of physical media, including coaxial
cable, copper wire, optical fiber, and radio spectrum. Different links can transmit
data at different rates, with the transmission rate of a link measured in bits/second.
When one end system has data to send to another end system, the sending end system
segments the data and adds header bytes to each segment. The resulting packages
of information, known as packets in the jargon of computer networks, are then sent
through the network to the destination end system, where they are reassembled into
the original data.
A packet switch takes a packet arriving on one of its incoming communication
links and forwards that packet on one of its outgoing communication links. Packet
switches come in many shapes and flavors, but the two most prominent types in
today’s Internet are routers and link-layer switches. Both types of switches forward
packets toward their ultimate destinations. Link-layer switches are typically used in
access networks, while routers are typically used in the network core. The sequence
of communication links and packet switches traversed by a packet from the send-
ing end system to the receiving end system is known as a route or path through
the!network. Cisco predicts annual global IP traffic will reach nearly five zettabytes
(
10
21
!bytes) by 2022 [Cisco VNI 2020].
Packet-switched networks (which transport packets) are in many ways
similar to transportation networks of highways, roads, and intersections (which
transport vehicles). Consider, for example, a factory that needs to move a large
amount of cargo to some destination warehouse located thousands of kilometers
away. At the factory, the cargo is segmented and loaded into a fleet of trucks.
Each of the trucks then independently travels through the network of highways,
roads, and intersections to the destination warehouse. At the destination ware-
house, the cargo is unloaded and grouped with the rest of the cargo arriving
from the same shipment. Thus, in many ways, packets are analogous to trucks,
communication links are analogous to highways and roads, packet switches are
analogous to intersections, and end systems are analogous to buildings. Just as
a truck takes a path through the transportation network, a packet takes a path
through a computer network.
End systems access the Internet through Internet Service Providers (ISPs),
including residential ISPs such as local cable or telephone companies; corpo-
rate ISPs; university ISPs; ISPs that provide WiFi access in airports, hotels, cof-
fee shops, and other public places; and cellular data ISPs, providing mobile access
to our smartphones and other devices. Each ISP is in itself a network of packet
switches and communication links. ISPs provide a variety of types of network access
to the end systems, including residential broadband access such as cable modem
or DSL, high-speed local area network access, and mobile wireless access. ISPs
also provide!Internet access to content providers, connecting servers directly to
the Internet. The Internet is all about connecting end systems to each other, so the

1.1 • WHAT IS THE INTERNET? 5
ISPs!that provide access to end systems must also be interconnected. These lower-
tier ISPs are thus interconnected through national and international upper-tier ISPs
and these upper-tier ISPs are connected directly to each other. An upper-tier ISP
consists of high-speed routers interconnected with high-speed fiber-optic links. Each
ISP network, whether upper-tier or lower-tier, is managed independently, runs the
IP protocol (see below), and conforms to certain naming and address conventions.
We’ll examine ISPs and their interconnection more closely in Section 1.3.
End systems, packet switches, and other pieces of the Internet run protocols that
control the sending and receiving of information within the Internet. The Transmission
Control Protocol (TCP) and the Internet Protocol (IP) are two of the most impor-
tant protocols in the Internet. The IP protocol specifies the format of the packets
that are sent and received among routers and end systems. The Internet’s principal
protocols are collectively known as TCP/IP. We’ll begin looking into protocols in
this introductory chapter. But that’s just a start—much of this book is concerned with
networking protocols!
Given the importance of protocols to the Internet, it’s important that everyone
agree on what each and every protocol does, so that people can create systems and
products that interoperate. This is where standards come into play. Internet standards
are developed by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) [IETF 2020]. The IETF
standards documents are called requests for comments (RFCs). RFCs started out
as general requests for comments (hence the name) to resolve network and protocol
design problems that faced the precursor to the Internet [Allman 2011]. RFCs tend
to!be quite technical and detailed. They define protocols such as TCP, IP, HTTP (for
the Web), and SMTP (for e-mail). There are currently nearly 9000 RFCs. Other bod-
ies also specify standards for network components, most notably for network links.
The IEEE 802 LAN Standards Committee [IEEE 802 2020], for example, specifies
the Ethernet and wireless WiFi standards.
1.1.2 A Services Description
Our discussion above has identified many of the pieces that make up the Internet.
But we can also describe the Internet from an entirely different angle—namely, as
an!infrastructure that provides services to applications. In addition to traditional
applications such as e-mail and Web surfing, Internet applications include mobile
smartphone and tablet applications, including Internet messaging, mapping with
real-time road-traffic information, music streaming movie and television streaming,
online social media, video conferencing, multi-person games, and location-based
recommendation systems. The applications are said to be distributed applications,
since they involve multiple end systems that exchange data with each other. Impor-
tantly, Internet applications run on end systems—they do not run in the packet
switches in the network core. Although packet switches facilitate the exchange of
data among end systems, they are not concerned with the application that is the
source or sink of data.

6 CHAPTER 1 • COMPUTER NETWORKS AND THE INTERNET
Let’s explore a little more what we mean by an infrastructure that provides
services to applications. To this end, suppose you have an exciting new idea for a dis-
tributed Internet application, one that may greatly benefit humanity or one that may
simply make you rich and famous. How might you go about transforming this idea
into an actual Internet application? Because applications run on end systems, you are
going to need to write programs that run on the end systems. You might, for example,
write your programs in Java, C, or Python. Now, because you are developing a dis-
tributed Internet application, the programs running on the different end systems will
need to send data to each other. And here we get to a central issue—one that leads
to the alternative way of describing the Internet as a platform for applications. How
does one program running on one end system instruct the Internet to deliver data to
another program running on another end system?
End systems attached to the Internet provide a socket interface that speci -
fies how a program running on one end system asks the Internet infrastructure to
deliver data to a specific destination program running on another end system. This
Internet socket interface is a set of rules that the sending program must follow so
that the Internet can deliver the data to the destination program. We’ll discuss the
Internet socket interface in detail in Chapter 2. For now, let’s draw upon a simple
analogy, one that we will frequently use in this book. Suppose Alice wants to send
a letter to Bob using the postal service. Alice, of course, can’t just write the letter
(the data) and drop the letter out her window. Instead, the postal service requires
that Alice put the letter in an envelope; write Bob’s full name, address, and zip
code in the center of the envelope; seal the envelope; put a stamp in the upper-
right-hand corner of the envelope; and finally, drop the envelope into an official
postal service mailbox. Thus, the postal service has its own “postal service inter-
face,” or set of rules, that Alice must follow to have the postal service deliver her
letter to Bob. In a similar manner, the Internet has a socket interface that the pro-
gram sending data must follow to have the Internet deliver the data to the program
that will receive the data.
The postal service, of course, provides more than one service to its custom-
ers. It provides express delivery, reception confirmation, ordinary use, and many
more services. In a similar manner, the Internet provides multiple services to its
applications. When you develop an Internet application, you too must choose one
of the Internet’s services for your application. We’ll describe the Internet’s ser-
vices in Chapter 2.
We have just given two descriptions of the Internet; one in terms of its hardware
and software components, the other in terms of an infrastructure for providing ser-
vices to distributed applications. But perhaps you are still confused as to what the
Internet is. What are packet switching and TCP/IP? What are routers? What kinds of
communication links are present in the Internet? What is a distributed application?
How can a thermostat or body scale be attached to the Internet? If you feel a bit over-
whelmed by all of this now, don’t worry—the purpose of this book is to introduce
you to both the nuts and bolts of the Internet and the principles that govern how and
M01_KURO1557_08_SE_C01.indd 6 11/02/20 10:54 AM

1.1 • WHAT IS THE INTERNET? 7
why it works. We’ll explain these important terms and questions in the following
sections and chapters.
1.1.3 What Is a Protocol?
Now that we’ve got a bit of a feel for what the Internet is, let’s consider another
important buzzword in computer networking: protocol. What is a protocol? What
does a protocol do?
A Human Analogy
It is probably easiest to understand the notion of a computer network protocol by
first considering some human analogies, since we humans execute protocols all of
the time. Consider what you do when you want to ask someone for the time of day.
A typical exchange is shown in Figure 1.2. Human protocol (or good manners, at
Figure 1.2

least) dictates that one first offer a greeting (the first “Hi” in Figure 1.2) to initiate
communication with someone else. The typical response to a “Hi” is a returned
“Hi” message. Implicitly, one then takes a cordial “Hi” response as an indication
that one can proceed and ask for the time of day. A different response to the initial
“Hi” (such as “Don’t bother me!” or “I don’t speak English,” or some unprintable
reply) might indicate an unwillingness or inability to communicate. In this case,
the human protocol would be not to ask for the time of day. Sometimes one gets no
response at all to a question, in which case one typically gives up asking that person
for the time. Note that in our human protocol, there are specific messages we send,
and specific actions we take in response to the received reply messages or other
events (such as no reply within some given amount of time). Clearly, transmitted
and received messages, and actions taken when these messages are sent or received
or other events occur, play a central role in a human protocol. If people run differ-
ent protocols (for example, if one person has manners but the other does not, or if
one understands the concept of time and the other does not) the protocols do not
interoperate and no useful work can be accomplished. The same is true in network-
ing—it takes two (or more) communicating entities running the same protocol in
order to accomplish a task.
Let’s consider a second human analogy. Suppose you’re in a college class (a
computer networking class, for example!). The teacher is droning on about protocols
and you’re confused. The teacher stops to ask, “Are there any questions?” (a message
that is transmitted to, and received by, all students who are not sleeping). You raise
your hand (transmitting an implicit message to the teacher). Your teacher acknowl-
edges you with a smile, saying “Yes . . .” (a transmitted message encouraging you
to ask your question—teachers love to be asked questions), and you then ask your
question (that is, transmit your message to your teacher). Your teacher hears your
question (receives your question message) and answers (transmits a reply to you).
Once again, we see that the transmission and receipt of messages, and a set of con-
ventional actions taken when these messages are sent and received, are at the heart
of this question-and-answer protocol.
Network Protocols
A network protocol is similar to a human protocol, except that the entities exchang-
ing messages and taking actions are hardware or software components of some
device (for example, computer, smartphone, tablet, router, or other network-capable
device). All activity in the Internet that involves two or more communicating remote
entities is governed by a protocol. For example, hardware-implemented protocols in
two physically connected computers control the flow of bits on the “wire” between
the two network interface cards; congestion-control protocols in end systems control
the rate at which packets are transmitted between sender and receiver; protocols in
routers determine a packet’s path from source to destination. Protocols are running
M01_KURO1557_08_SE_C01.indd 8 11/02/20 10:54 AM

1.2 • THE NETWORK E DGE 9
everywhere in the Internet, and consequently much of this book is about computer
network protocols.
As an example of a computer network protocol with which you are probably
familiar, consider what happens when you make a request to a Web server, that
is, when you type the URL of a Web page into your Web browser. The scenario is
illustrated in the right half of Figure 1.2. First, your computer will send a connec-
tion request message to the Web server and wait for a reply. The Web server will
eventually receive your connection request message and return a connection reply
message. Knowing that it is now OK to request the Web document, your computer
then sends the name of the Web page it wants to fetch from that Web server in a
GET message. Finally, the Web server returns the Web page (file) to your computer.
Given the human and networking examples above, the exchange of messages
and the actions taken when these messages are sent and received are the key defining
elements of a protocol:
A protocol defines the format and the order of messages exchanged between two
or more communicating entities, as well as the actions taken on the transmission
and/or receipt of a message or other event.
The Internet, and computer networks in general, make extensive use of pro-
tocols. Different protocols are used to accomplish different communication tasks.
As you read through this book, you will learn that some protocols are simple and
straightforward, while others are complex and intellectually deep. Mastering the
field of computer networking is equivalent to understanding the what, why, and how
of networking protocols.
1.2 The Network Edge
In the previous section, we presented a high-level overview of the Internet and
networking protocols. We are now going to delve a bit more deeply into the com-
ponents of the Internet. We begin in this section at the edge of the network and
look at the components with which we are most familiar—namely, the computers,
smartphones and other devices that we use on a daily basis. In the next section, we’ll
move from the network edge to the network core and examine switching and routing
in computer networks.
Recall from the previous section that in computer networking jargon, the com-
puters and other devices connected to the Internet are often referred to as end sys-
tems. They are referred to as end systems because they sit at the edge of the Internet,
as shown in Figure 1.3. The Internet’s end systems include desktop computers

(e.g., desktop PCs, Macs, and Linux boxes), servers (e.g., Web and e-mail servers),
and mobile devices (e.g., laptops, smartphones, and tablets). Furthermore, an
increasing number of non-traditional “things” are being attached to the Internet as
end systems (see the Case History feature).
End systems are also referred to as hosts because they host (that is, run) appli-
cation programs such as a Web browser program, a Web server program, an e-mail
M01_KURO1557_08_SE_C01.indd 10 11/02/20 10:54 AM

1.2 • THE NETWORK E DGE 11
client program, or an e-mail server program. Throughout this book we will use the
terms hosts and end systems interchangeably; that is, host = end system. Hosts
are sometimes further divided into two categories: clients and servers. Infor-
mally, clients tend to be desktops, laptops, smartphones, and so on, whereas
servers tend to be more powerful machines that store and distribute Web pages,
stream video, relay e-mail, and so on. Today, most of the servers from which we
receive search results, e-mail, Web pages, videos and mobile app content reside
in large data centers. For example, as of 2020, Google has 19 data centers on four
continents, collectively containing several million servers. Figure 1.3 includes
two such data centers, and the Case History sidebar describes data centers in
more detail.
DATA CENTERS AND CLOUD COMPUTING
Internet companies such as Google, Microsoft, Amazon, and Alibaba have built
massive data centers, each housing tens to hundreds of thousands of hosts. These
data centers are not only connected to the Internet, as shown in Figure 1.1, but also
internally include complex computer networks that interconnect the datacenter’s hosts.
The data centers are the engines behind the Internet applications that we use on a
daily basis.
Broadly speaking, data centers serve three purposes, which we describe here in
the context of Amazon for concreteness. First, they serve Amazon e-commerce pages
to users, for example, pages describing products and purchase information. Second,
they serve as massively parallel computing infrastructures for Amazon-specific data
processing tasks. Third, they provide cloud computing to other companies. Indeed,
today a major trend in computing is for companies to use a cloud provider such as
Amazon to handle essentially all of their IT needs. For example, Airbnb and many
other Internet-based companies do not own and manage their own data centers but
instead run their entire Web-based services in the Amazon cloud, called Amazon
Web Services (AWS).
The worker bees in a data center are the hosts. They serve content (e.g., Web
pages and videos), store e-mails and documents, and collectively perform massively
distributed computations. The hosts in data centers, called blades!and resembling
pizza boxes, are generally commodity hosts that include CPU, memory, and disk
storage. The hosts are stacked in racks, with each rack typically having 20 to
40!blades. The racks are then interconnected using sophisticated and evolving data
center network designs. Data center networks are discussed in greater detail in
Chapter 6.

1.2.1 Access Networks
Having considered the applications and end systems at the “edge of the network,”
let’s next consider the access network—the network that physically connects an end
system to the first router (also known as the “edge router”) on a path from the end
system to any other distant end system. Figure 1.4 shows several types of access
