Mobile Computing & Software Engineering Lab OSI Reference Model The International Standards Organization ( ISO ) proposal for the standardization of the various protocols used in computer networks (specifically those networks used to connect open systems) is called the Open Systems Interconnection Reference Model (1984), or simply the OSI model . NTUT, TAIWAN 8

Mobile Computing & Software Engineering Lab OSI Model Although the OSI model is a just a model (not a specification), it is generally regarded as the most complete model (as well it should be - nearly all of the popular network protocol suites in use today were developed before the OSI model was defined). NTUT, TAIWAN 9

Mobile Computing & Software Engineering Lab OSI <-> Network Software Although this course is about network programming (and not about networking in general), an understanding of a complete network model is essential. NTUT, TAIWAN 10

Mobile Computing & Software Engineering Lab Simplified Network Model Process Process Interface Protocols Transport Transport Peer-to-peer Protocols Network Network Data Link Data Link NTUT, TAIWAN 12

Mobile Computing & Software Engineering Lab What’s a Protocol? An agreed upon convention for communication. both endpoints need to understand the protocol. Protocols must be formally defined and unambiguous! We will study lots of existing protocols and perhaps develop a few of our own. NTUT, TAIWAN 13

Mobile Computing & Software Engineering Lab Interface and Process Process Interface Protocols Peer-to-peer Transport Transport Peer-to-peer Protocols Protocols Network Network Data Link Data Link Interface protocols describe the communication between layers on the same endpoint. Peer-to-peer protocols describe communication between peers at the same layer. NTUT, TAIWAN 14

Mobile Computing & Software Engineering Lab TCP/IP Provides basic mechanisms used to transfer data Allows a programmer to establish communication between applications Provides peer-to-peer communication One organizational method to use TCP/IP is the client-server paradigm NTUT, TAIWAN 40

Mobile Computing & Software Engineering Lab Motivation Scenario: A user tries to start two programs on separate machines and have them communicate. Program 2 starts Program 1 starts Send message to its peer No connection can be set up No response; exit Not running; Refuse NTUT, TAIWAN 41

Mobile Computing & Software Engineering Lab Client-Server Model One side in any pair of communicating application must start execution and wait for the other side to contact it. Since the client-server model places responsibility for rendezvous problem on application, TCP/IP does not need to provide mechanisms that automatically create a running program when a message arrives. Instead, a program must be waiting to accept communication before any request arrive . NTUT, TAIWAN 42
