A closer look at the network structure
1. The network edge: applications
and hosts
2. The network core:
 routers
 network of networks
3. The access networks and
physical media: communication

Internet structure: network of networks
 Roughly hierarchical
 National/international
backbone providers (NBPs)
 e.g. BBN/GTE, Sprint, AT&T,
IBM, UUNet
 interconnect (peer) with each
other privately, or at public
Network Access Point (NAPs)
 A point of presence (POP) is a
machine that is connected to
the Internet.
 Internet Service Providers
(ISPs) provide dial-up or direct
access to POPs.
 regional ISPs
 connect into NBPs

Internet inter-AS routing: BGP
 BGP (Border Gateway Protocol): the de facto standard
 BGP provides each AS a means to:
 Obtain subnet reachability information from neighboring ASs.
 Propagate reachability information to all AS-internal routers.
 Determine “good” routes to subnets based on reachability
information and policy.
 allows subnet to advertise its existence to rest of
Internet: “I am here”

What is xDSL
 DSL: Digital Subscriber Line
 DSL as a transmission
technology using the existing
copper wires between a
central exchange and a
customer with a bit rate speed
up to 26 Mbit/s
 Signals:
symmetrical/asymmetrical,
digital, text, audio, video
 Concepts of local loop,
management, handshake,
interoperability, scalability,
legacy

Why x-DSL
 Faster than analog (56 kbit/s) and ISDN (>128 kbit/s)
modems, reasonable cost, reach 3-6 km
 Less expensive that E1/T1 systems, 1.5-2.0- Mbit/s, reach 1
km
 Use already existing copper pairs (depending on the
performance): start as equipments installed.
 Transforms potential 700 millions copper wires installed worldwide
into multimegabit data pipes
 Scenario convenient to providers and users immediately
available
 Enable the management of different providers of different
services to different users tipology
 Alternative: Optical access
 Wait for full availability
 current cost
 better performance

How it works
 Remove line components limiting the bandwidth to the
voice frequency (4 KHz = 64 Kbit/s)
 Use of copper low attenuation frequencies sending more
bits x Hertz for longer reach
 Use higher bit rate with a low increase of signal rate
(baud) in the line
 Use of line codes allowing the transmission of 2 to 15
bits x Hertz (up to 1.1, 2.2, 12 MHz)
 Adoption of techniques/phylosophies limiting negative
effects (crosstalk, echo, spectrum, etc.)

DSLAM Digital subscriber line access multiplexer
 A Digital Subscriber Line Access Multiplexer (DSLAM)
allows telephone lines to make faster connections to the
Internet.
 It is a network device, located near the customer's
location, that connects multiple customer Digital
Subscriber Lines (DSLs) to a high-speed Internet
backbone line using multiplexing techniques.
 By locating DSLAMs at locations remote to the telephone
company central office (CO), telephone companies are
now providing DSL service to consumers who previously
did not live close enough for the technology to work.
TECNOLOGÍAS DE RED AVANZADAS – Master IC 2009-2010
ADSL G.Lite (ITU G.992.2)
 ADSL requiere instalar en casa del usuario un filtro de
frecuencias o „splitter‟ (teléfono de ADSL).
 El splitter aumenta el costo de instalación y limita el
desarrollo.
 ADSL G.Lite suprime el splitter. También se llama ADSL
Universal, ADSL „splitterless‟ o CADSL (Consumer ADSL).
 Sin splitter hay más interferencias, sobre todo a altas
frecuencias.

Futuro de GPON
 GPON no requiere de dispositivos electrónicos u optoelectrónicos activos para la conexión entre el abonado y
el operador, y por lo tanto supone una inversión y unos
costes de mantenimiento menores
 La mayoría de los grandes operadores actuales se han
decantado por la tecnología GPON.
 En 2007 muchas operadoras han realizado “pruebas
piloto” con pocos usuarios. El objetivo de estas pruebas
es empezar a vislumbrar las dificultades de trabajar la
fibra óptica.
 A lo largo de 2008 se espera el lanzamiento “masivo” de
servicios sobre GPON.

TECNOLOGÍAS DE RED AVANZADAS – Master IC 2009-2010
Basics of Satellites
 Two Stations on Earth want to communicate through
radio broadcast but are too far away to use conventional
means.
 The two stations can use a satellite as a relay station for
their communication
 One Earth Station sends a transmission to the satellite.
This is called a Uplink.
 The satellite Transponder converts the signal and sends
it down to the second earth station. This is called a
Downlink.
TECNOLOGÍAS DE RED AVANZADAS – Master IC 2009-2010
Basics: Advantages of Satellites
 The advantages of satellite communication over
terrestrial communication are:
 The coverage area of a satellite greatly exceeds that of a
terrestrial system.
 Transmission cost of a satellite is independent of the distance
from the center of the coverage area.
 Satellite to Satellite communication is very precise.
 Higher Bandwidths are available for use.
TECNOLOGÍAS DE RED AVANZADAS – Master IC 2009-2010
Basics: Disadvantages of Satellites
 The disadvantages of satellite communication:
 Launching satellites into orbit is costly.
 Satellite bandwidth is gradually becoming used up.
 There is a larger propagation delay in satellite communication
than in terrestrial communication.
TECNOLOGÍAS DE RED AVANZADAS – Master IC 2009-2010
Basics: How Satellites are used
 Service Types
 Fixed Service Satellites (FSS)
 Example: Point to Point Communication
 Broadcast Service Satellites (BSS)
 Example: Satellite Television/Radio
 Also called Direct Broadcast Service (DBS).
 Mobile Service Satellites (MSS)
 Example: Satellite Phones

Geostationary Earth Orbit (GEO)
 These satellites are in orbit 35,863 km above the earth‟s
surface along the equator.
 Objects in Geostationary orbit revolve around the earth at the
same speed as the earth rotates. This means GEO satellites
remain in the same position relative to the surface of earth.
 Advantages
 A GEO satellite‟s distance from earth gives it a large coverage area,
almost a fourth of the earth‟s surface.
 GEO satellites have a 24 hour view of a particular area.
 These factors make it ideal for satellite broadcast and other
multipoint applications.
 Disadvantages
 A GEO satellite‟s distance also cause it to have both a comparatively
weak signal and a time delay in the signal, which is bad for point to
point communication.
 GEO satellites, centered above the equator, have difficulty
broadcasting signals to near polar regions
TECNOLOGÍAS DE RED AVANZADAS – Master IC 2009-2010
Frequency Bands
 Different kinds of satellites use different frequency
bands.
L–Band: 1 to 2 GHz, used by MSS
S-Band: 2 to 4 GHz, used by MSS, NASA, deep space research
C-Band: 4 to 8 GHz, used by FSS
X-Band: 8 to 12.5 GHz, used by FSS and in terrestrial imaging,
ex: military and meteorological satellites
 Ku-Band: 12.5 to 18 GHz: used by FSS and BSS (DBS)
 K-Band: 18 to 26.5 GHz: used by FSS and BSS
 Ka-Band: 26.5 to 40 GHz: used by FSS

GPRS…. What is it?
 General Packet Radio Service
 2.5G data service overlaid on an existing GSM network
 Mobile station uses up to 8 timeslots (channels) for GPRS data
connection from Mobile Station
 Timeslots are shared amongst users (and voice)
 Variable performance…


Packet Random Access, Packet Switched
Slotted Aloha Reservation / Contention handling
Throughput depends on coding scheme, # timeslots etc
From ~ 9 kbps min to max. of 171.8 kbps (in theory!)

EDGE… also known as 2.75G
 EDGE Enhanced Data Rates for Global Evolution
 Uses 8-PSK modulation in good conditions
 Increase throughput by 3x
(8-PSK – 3 bits/symbol vs GMSK 1
bit/symbol)
 Fall back to GMSK modulation when far from the base station
 Combine with GPRS: EGPRS; up to ~ 473 Kbps. NB: GPRS &
EGPRS can share time slots
 New handsets / terminal equipment; additional
hardware in the BTS
 Core network and the rest remains the same
 TDMA (Time Division Multiple Access) frame structure
 200kHz carrier bandwidth allows cell plans to remain
 Initially no QoS; later GSM/EDGE Radio Access Network
(GERAN) QoS added
