Computer NetworksSpring 2008 (MW 1:30-2:50 in CS 105)Jennifer RexfordTeaching Assistants: Sunghwan Ihm and Yaping Zhu http://www.cs.princeton.edu/courses/archive/spring08/cos461/2Goals for Today’s Class•COS 461 overview–Goals of the course–Structure of the course–Learning the material–Programming assignments–Course grading–Academic policies•Key concepts in data networking–Protocols–Layering–Resource allocation –Naming3What You Learn in This Course•Skill: network programming–Socket programming–Designing and implementing protocols•Knowledge: how the Internet works–IP protocol suite–Internet architecture–Applications (Web, e-mail, P2P, VoIP, …)•Insight: key concepts in networking–Protocols–Layering–Resource allocation–Naming4Structure of the Course (1st Half)•Start at the top–Sockets: how applications view the Internet–Protocols: essential elements of a protocol•Then study the “narrow waist” of IP–IP best-effort packet-delivery service–IP addressing and packet forwarding•And how to build on top of the narrow waist–Transport protocols (TCP, UDP)–Domain Name System (DNS)–Glue (ARP, DHCP, ICMP)–End-system security and privacy (NAT, firewalls)•Looking underneath IP–Link technologies (Ethernet, wireless, …)5Structure of the Course (2nd Half)•And how to get the traffic from here to there–Internet routing architecture (the “inter” in Internet)–Intradomain and interdomain routing protocols•Building applications–Web and content-distribution networks–E-mail–Peer-to-peer file sharing–Multimedia streaming and voice-over-IP•Other approaching to building networks–Circuit switching (e.g., ATM, MPLS, …)–More on wireless networks, multicast, …6Learning the Material: People•Lecture (Jennifer Rexford)–When: MW 1:30-2:50 in Computer Science 105–Slides available online at course Web site–Office hours to be announced, and by appointment•Teaching Assistants –Sunghwan IhmOffice hours: Mon 11am-12pm, Fri 2-3pm (CS 416)E-mail: [email protected]–Yaping ZhuOffice hours: Wed TBD and Sat TBD (CS 318B)E-mail: [email protected]•Lab TAs in the Friend Center 016/0177Learning the Material: Mailing List•Mailing list (if you’re enrolled, you’re on the list)–E-mail [email protected]–Sign up: https://lists.cs.princeton.edu/mailman/listinfo/cos461•Read often–Good place to ask questions–But please do not post your code •Reply, too–Good place to answer questions8Learning the Material: Books•Required textbook–Computer Networks: A Systems Approach (4th edition), by Peterson and Davie [Okay to use the 3rd edition]–Mostly covers the material in the first half of the class•Books on reserve–Networking text booksComputer Networking: A Top-Down Approach Featuring the Internet (3rd edition), by Kurose and Ross Computer Networks (4th edition), by Tanenbaum–Network programming referencesTCP/IP Illustrated, Volume 1: The Protocols, by StevensUnix Network Programming, Volume 1: The Sockets Networking API (3rd Edition), by Stevens, Fenner, & Rudolf•Online resources–E.g. on socket programming9Programming Assignments•Stanford Virtual Network System–Constructs virtual network topologies that integrate directly into physical networks–Traffic forwarded to your program, running in user space–http://yuba.stanford.edu/vns/•Four assignments (with target due dates)–Introduction to sockets (Mon Feb 18)–HTTP proxy (Fri Mar 7)–IP router (Mon Apr 21)–Reliable transport protocol (Tue May 13)10Facilities for Programming•Computer cluster in Friend Center 010–Friend Center 010 computers–Machines: labpc-XX.cs.princeton.edu for XX of 01 to 30–Why: common environment, and access to lab TAs•Accessing your account–If you are enrolled, you have a labpc account–Using your OIT login and password•Logging in to the machines remotely–SSH to portal.cs.princeton.edu, and then to FC 010–Need a CS account, if you don’t have one already–https://csguide.cs.princeton.edu/requests/account–Request a “class account”11Facilities for Programming•Other option: on your own PC (not recommended)–Running GNU tools on Linux, or–Running GNU tools on Windows, or–Running a standard C development environment•Suggestion: test this week–Logging in to the FC 010 cluster–Writing and running “Hello World” in C•Submitting assignments–Using Moodle–More details coming soon!12Graduate Students: Two Choices•Pick one of two options–Do the four programming assignments–Or, first two assignments, plus research project•Research projects–Networking-related research problem–Must have a programming component–Write-up of project due on Dean’s Date–Talk to me about a project before spring break13Grading and Schedule•Assignments (15% each)–Assignment 1 in week 3–Assignment 2 in week 5 –Assignment 3 late in 2nd half of the semester–Assignment 4 on Dean’s Date•Two exams (30% total)–Midterm exam in week six (10%)–Final exam during exam period (20%)•Class participation (10%)–In lecture–On the listserv14Policies: Write Your Own CodeProgramming in an individual creative process much like composition.
