Introduction1-1 Reti di calcolatori e Sicurezza -- Application Layer --- Part of these slides are adapted from the slides of the book: Computer Networking: A Top Down Approach Featuring the Internet, 2nd edition. Jim Kurose, Keith Ross Addison-Wesley, July (copyright J.F Kurose and K.W. Ross, All Rights Reserved)
Introduction1-2 Chapter 2: Application Layer Our goals: conceptual, implementation aspects of network application protocols m transport-layer service models m client-server paradigm m peer-to-peer paradigm learn about protocols by examining popular application-level protocols m HTTP m FTP m SMTP / POP3 / IMAP m DNS programming network applications m socket API
Introduction1-3 Chapter 2 outline 2.1 Principles of app layer protocols m clients and servers m app requirements 2.2 Web and HTTP 2.3 FTP 2.4 Electronic Mail m SMTP, POP3, IMAP 2.5 DNS 2.6 Socket programming with TCP (facoltativo) 2.7 Socket programming with UDP (facoltativo) 2.8 Building a Web server (facoltativo) 2.9 Content distribution (self study) m Network Web caching m Content distribution networks m P2P file sharing
Introduction1-4 Applicazioni Applicazioni di rete m Insieme di processi distribuiti: sono in esecuzione su di un host connesso in rete m Cooperano tramite scambio di messaggi m e.g., , file transfer, P2P file sharing, IM, Web, Protocolli del livello delle applicazioni m Una componente delle applicazioni di rete m Definiscono la struttura dei msg m Richieste di servizio ai livelli inferiori application transport network data link physical application transport network data link physical application transport network data link physical
Introduction1-5 Protocolli livello applicazioni Tipo dei msg scambiati Sintassi dei msg Semantica header dei msg Regole di elaborazione Public-domain protocols: RFC Interoperability m HTTP, SMTP Proprietary protocols: KaZaA
Introduction1-6 Terminologia comune user agent: interfaccia tra le applicazioni di rete ed i protocolli di comunicazione del livello delle applicazioni. m Web:browser m mail reader m App. audio/video: player
Introduction1-7 Il modello Client - Server Si identificano due componenti: client e server application transport network data link physical application transport network data link physical Client: Connette al server (“speaks first”) Effettua la richiesta del servizio, E.g. Web: cliente è il browser; cliente è il mail reader Server: Fornisce un certo numero di servizi (in risposta alle richieste del cliente) Web server invia le pagine richieste request reply
Introduction1-8 Processes communicating across network process sends/receives messages to/from its socket socket analogous to door m sending process shoves message out door m sending process asssumes transport infrastructure on other side of door which brings message to socket at receiving process process TCP with buffers, variables socket host or server process TCP with buffers, variables socket host or server Internet controlled by OS controlled by app developer API: (1) choice of transport protocol; (2) ability to fix a few parameters (lots more on this later)
Introduction1-9 Addressing processes: For a process to receive messages, it must have an identifier Every host has a unique 32-bit IP address Q: does the IP address of the host on which the process runs suffice for identifying the process? Answer: No, many processes can be running on same host Identifier includes both the IP address and port numbers associated with the process on the host. Example port numbers: m HTTP server: 80 m Mail server: 25 More on this later
Introduction1-10 Quali sono I requisiti di servizio delle applicazioni di rete Data loss Alcune app. (e.g., audio) possono tollerare la perdita di dati Altre app. (e.g., file transfer, telnet) richiedono il 100% di affidabilità nella trasmissione dei dati Timing App (e.g., Internet telephony) non possono ammettere dei ritardi nella trasmissione dei dati Bandwidth Alcune app. (e.g., multimedia) richiedono di avere almeno un determinato livello di banda per poter operare Altre applicazioni (“elastic apps”) non fanno richieste sulla banda di trasmissione
Introduction1-11 Requisiti applicazioni Application file transfer Web documents real-time audio/video stored audio/video interactive games instant messaging Data loss no loss loss-tolerant no loss Bandwidth elastic audio: 5kbps-1Mbps video:10kbps-5Mbps same as above few kbps up elastic Time Sensitive no yes, 100’s msec yes, few secs yes, 100’s msec yes and no
Introduction1-12 I servizi di trasporto TCP: connection-oriented: richiede una fase di inizializzazione affidabile Controllo del flusso e della congestione Non fornisce: timing, e un livello minimo di banda UDP: Non affidabilie No controllo del flusso e della congestione D: Come mai esiste UDP?

Introduction1-15 Chapter 2 outline 2.1 Principles of app layer protocols m clients and servers m app requirements 2.2 Web and HTTP 2.3 FTP 2.4 Electronic Mail m SMTP, POP3, IMAP 2.5 DNS 2.6 Socket programming with TCP 2.7 Socket programming with UDP 2.8 Building a Web server 2.9 Content distribution m Network Web caching m Content distribution networks m P2P file sharing
Introduction1-16 Web and HTTP First some jargon Web page consists of objects Object can be HTML file, JPEG image, Java applet, audio file,… Web page consists of base HTML-file which includes several referenced objects Each object is addressable by a URL Example URL: host name path name
Introduction1-17 HTTP overview HTTP: hypertext transfer protocol Web’s application layer protocol client/server model m client: browser that requests, receives, “displays” Web objects m server: Web server sends objects in response to requests HTTP 1.0: RFC 1945 HTTP 1.1: RFC 2068 PC running Explorer Server running Apache Web server Mac running Navigator HTTP request HTTP response
Introduction1-18 HTTP overview (continued) Uses TCP: client initiates TCP connection (creates socket) to server, port 80 server accepts TCP connection from client HTTP messages (application- layer protocol messages) exchanged between browser (HTTP client) and Web server (HTTP server) TCP connection closed HTTP is “stateless” server maintains no information about past client requests Protocols that maintain “state” are complex! past history (state) must be maintained if server/client crashes, their views of “state” may be inconsistent, must be reconciled aside
Introduction1-19 HTTP connections Nonpersistent HTTP At most one object is sent over a TCP connection. HTTP/1.0 uses nonpersistent HTTP Persistent HTTP Multiple objects can be sent over single TCP connection between client and server. HTTP/1.1 uses persistent connections in default mode
Introduction1-20 Nonpersistent HTTP Suppose user enters URL 1a. HTTP client initiates TCP connection to HTTP server (process) at on port HTTP client sends HTTP request message (containing URL) into TCP connection socket. Message indicates that client wants object someDepartment/home.index 1b. HTTP server at host waiting for TCP connection at port 80. “accepts” connection, notifying client 3. HTTP server receives request message, forms response message containing requested object, and sends message into its socket time (contains text, references to 10 jpeg images)
Introduction1-21 Nonpersistent HTTP (cont.) 5. HTTP client receives response message containing html file, displays html. Parsing html file, finds 10 referenced jpeg objects 6. Steps 1-5 repeated for each of 10 jpeg objects 4. HTTP server closes TCP connection. time
Introduction1-22 Response time modeling Definition of RRT: time to send a small packet to travel from client to server and back. Response time: one RTT to initiate TCP connection one RTT for HTTP request and first few bytes of HTTP response to return file transmission time total = 2RTT+transmit time time to transmit file initiate TCP connection RTT request file RTT file received time
Introduction1-23 Persistent HTTP Nonpersistent HTTP issues: requires 2 RTTs per object OS must work and allocate host resources for each TCP connection but browsers often open parallel TCP connections to fetch referenced objects Persistent HTTP server leaves connection open after sending response subsequent HTTP messages between same client/server are sent over connection Persistent without pipelining: client issues new request only when previous response has been received one RTT for each referenced object Persistent with pipelining: default in HTTP/1.1 client sends requests as soon as it encounters a referenced object as little as one RTT for all the referenced objects
Introduction1-24 Non Persistente vs persistente
Introduction1-25 Persistente: non pipeling vs pipeling
Introduction1-26 HTTP request message two types of HTTP messages: request, response HTTP request message: m ASCII (human-readable format) GET /somedir/page.html HTTP/1.1 Host: User-agent: Mozilla/4.0 Connection: close Accept-language:fr (extra carriage return, line feed) request line (GET, POST, HEAD commands) header lines Carriage return, line feed indicates end of message
Introduction1-27 HTTP request message: general format
Introduction1-28 Uploading form input Post method: Web page often includes form input Input is uploaded to server in entity body URL method: Uses GET method Input is uploaded in URL field of request line:
Introduction1-29 Method types HTTP/1.0 GET POST HEAD m asks server to leave requested object out of response HTTP/1.1 GET, POST, HEAD PUT m uploads file in entity body to path specified in URL field DELETE m deletes file specified in the URL field
Introduction1-30 HTTP response message HTTP/ OK Connection close Date: Thu, 06 Aug :00:15 GMT Server: Apache/1.3.0 (Unix) Last-Modified: Mon, 22 Jun 1998 …... Content-Length: 6821 Content-Type: text/html data data data data data... status line (protocol status code status phrase) header lines data, e.g., requested HTML file
Introduction1-31 HTTP response status codes 200 OK m request succeeded, requested object later in this message 301 Moved Permanently m requested object moved, new location specified later in this message (Location:) 400 Bad Request m request message not understood by server 404 Not Found m requested document not found on this server 505 HTTP Version Not Supported In first line in server->client response message. A few sample codes:
Introduction1-32 Trying out HTTP (client side) for yourself 1. Telnet to your favorite Web server: Opens TCP connection to port 80 (default HTTP server port) at Anything typed in sent to port 80 at telnet Type in a GET HTTP request: GET /~ross/index.html HTTP/1.0 By typing this in (hit carriage return twice), you send this minimal (but complete) GET request to HTTP server 3. Look at response message sent by HTTP server!
Introduction1-33 esercizio Come si fa a far rispondere al server 301 Moved Permanently m requested object moved, new location specified later in this message (Location:)
Introduction1-34 User-server interaction: authorization Authorization : control access to server content authorization credentials: typically name, password stateless: client must present authorization in each request authorization: header line in each request if no authorization : header, server refuses access, sends WWW authenticate: header line in response client server usual http request msg 401: authorization req. WWW authenticate: usual http request msg + Authorization: usual http response msgusual http request msg + Authorization: usual http response msg time
Introduction1-35 Cookies: keeping “state” Many major Web sites use cookies Four components: 1) cookie header line in the HTTP response message 2) cookie header line in HTTP request message 3) cookie file kept on user’s host and managed by user’s browser 4) back-end database at Web site Example: m Susan access Internet always from same PC m She visits a specific e- commerce site for first time m When initial HTTP requests arrives at site, site creates a unique ID and creates an entry in backend database for ID

Introduction1-42 FTP: separate control, data connections FTP client contacts FTP server at port 21, specifying TCP as transport protocol Client obtains authorization over control connection Client browses remote directory by sending commands over control connection. When server receives a command for a file transfer, the server opens a TCP data connection to client After transferring one file, server closes connection. FTP client FTP server TCP control connection port 21 TCP data connection port 20 Server opens a second TCP data connection to transfer another file. Control connection: “out of band” FTP server maintains “state”: current directory, earlier authentication
Introduction1-43 FTP commands, responses (PROVATELI!!) Sample commands: sent as ASCII text over control channel USER username PASS password LIST return list of file in current directory RETR filename retrieves (gets) file STOR filename stores (puts) file onto remote host Sample return codes status code and phrase (as in HTTP) 331 Username OK, password required 125 data connection already open; transfer starting 425 Can’t open data connection 452 Error writing file

Introduction1-48 La Mailbox Normalmente risiede su un calcolatore potente e sempre connesso alla rete Ha associato un indirizzo di posta elettronica E’ il contenitore elettronico dei messaggi ricevuti
Introduction1-49 Un applicativo di rete: la posta elettronica La posta elettronica ( ) consente di spedire messaggi ad altri utenti connessi ad Internet. I messaggi sono tipicamente preparati con programmi di videoscrittura. Ad essi possono essere allegati video e/o audio. Gli indirizzi hanno la forma del seguente esempio: nome utente nome dominio separatore

Introduction1-62 POP3-IMAP4
Introduction1-63 Accesso alla posta Esistono diversi protocolli per costruire una infrastruttura distribuita per la gestione delle . I piu’ diffusi sono: m POP3 - Post Office Protocol versione 3 Protocollo molto ‘vecchio’ quindi molto diffuso Semplice Gestisce la posta in “locale”: scarica i messaggi! m IMAP4 - Internet Message Access Protocol (ver 4) Piu’ complesso del POP3 Permette la gestione delle mailbox remote come se fossero locali
Introduction1-64 POP3 Funziona con paradigma client-server Supporta le funzioni di base per il recupero della posta elettronica da mailbox remota m Download m Delete
Introduction1-65 Come funziona Il client POP3 si connette tramite TCP alla porta 110 del server Il server POP3 risponde con messaggio di benvenuto La sessione entra nello stato di autenticazione m Il client manda la sua idetificazione (user-id e password) Se il server riconosce il client si entra nello stato di transazione m Il client puo’ accedere alla mailbox Quando il client esegue il comando quit si entra nello stato update e la connessione e’ chiusa
Introduction1-66 IMAP4 Supporta i modelli di posta elettronica m Off-line (POP3): il client si connette periodicamente al server e scarica i messaggi (processati localmente) m On-line il client esegue delle modifiche sul server (accesso tramite protocollo di file system remoto NFS) m Disconnected: (modo “ibrido”) il client si connette al server, scarica i messaggi, li processa localmente e poi li aggiorna sul server Connessione su porta 143
Introduction1-67 POP3 authorization phase client: user: username pass: password Server: m +OK -ERR transaction phase, client: list: list (message numbers) retr: retrieve message dele: delete quit C: list S: S: S:. C: retr 1 S: S:. C: dele 1 C: retr 2 S: S:. C: dele 2 C: quit S: +OK POP3 server signing off S: +OK POP3 server ready C: user alice S: +OK C: pass hungry S: +OK user successfully logged on
Introduction1-68 Confronto POP3-IMAP4 POP3= recupero su richiesta verso un singolo client IMAP4= accesso interattivo a piu’ mailbox da piu’ client Vantaggi filosofia POP3: m Uso minimo del tempo di connessione. m Uso minimo delle risorse del server. Vantaggi filosofia IMAP4: m Possibilita’ di usare diversi computer in tempi diversi m Possibilita’ di usare macchine con client “senza-dati” (nei laboratori). m Accesso indipendente dalla piattaforma m Accesso concorrente a mailbox condivise.
Introduction1-69 Posta elettronica: Per lo scambio di messaggi elettronici Un messaggio contiene: m Uno o più destinatari nel campo TO m Destinatari per conoscenza (CC) m Destinatari per conoscenza “in incognito” (BCC) m Subject: tema del messaggio m Testo del messaggio m Eventuali allegati

Introduction1-78 Domain Name Server (DNS) pluto.sci.unich.it ? !
Introduction1-79 ad ogni risorsa TCP/IP può essere assegnato un nome simbolico sono necessari: m un metodo per associare il nome simbolico di una macchina all’indirizzo (o agli indirizzi) IP: risoluzione diretta m un metodo per associare ad un indirizzo IP al nome simbolico della macchina: risoluzione inversa Domain Name System (DNS) m definito presso ISI - USC 1984 m RFC 882, RFC 883, RFC 973 (obsolete) m RFC 1034, RFC 1035, RFC 1123, RFC 1537, RFC 1912 DNS: le funzioni
Introduction1-80 Un po’ di storia Ai tempi di ARPANET esisteva in ogni sistema opertivo un unico file, hosts.txt, che elencava tutti gli host e i loro indirizzi IP. Ogni notte tutti gli host della rete lo copiavano dal sito in cui era mantenuto Quando la rete comprendeva solo qualche centinaio di grosse macchine questo approccio funzionava bene; quando la rete crebbe venne inventato il servizio DNS (Domain Name Server), definito nei documenti RFC 1034 e 1035
Introduction1-81 DNS: caratteristiche principali database distribuito basato sul modello client/server tre componenti principali: spazio dei nomi e informazioni associate (Resource Record - RR) nameserver (application server che mantiene i dati) resolver (client per l’interrogazione del nameserver) accesso veloce ai dati (database in memoria centrale e meccanismo di caching)
Introduction1-82 Esempio Hosts cheltenham.cs.princeton.edu :23:A8:33:5B:9F Files /usr/llp/tmp/foo (server, fileid) Users Stefano Bistarelli
Introduction1-83 Esempio Mailboxes Name server Mail program User TCP IP 2 cs.princeton.edu cs.princeton.edu
Introduction1-84 Lo spazio dei nomi lo spazio dei nomi è organizzato secondo il modello gerarchico: il database del DNS ha una struttura logica “ad albero rovesciato” ciascun nodo dell’albero rappresenta un dominio ogni dominio può essere suddiviso in altri domini: sottodomini ogni nodo ha una etichetta che lo identifica rispetto al padre La radice dell'albero è unica, e la sua etichetta è vuota. In certi casi si indica anche come “.” struttura dello spazio dei nomi: domini generali (gTLD) domini nazionali (ccTLD) domini per la risoluzione inversa (arpa)
Introduction1-85 DNS Gerarchia di naming
Introduction1-86 Gerarchie di naming Il nome di un dominio è composto dal cammino inverso dalla foglia fino alla radice (anonima); i componenti del cammino sono separati da punti. I nomi dei domini sono insensibili alle maiuscole/minuscole I nomi all’interno dei cammini possono essere lunghi al più 63 caratteri, mentre un cammino non può superare complessivamente i 255 caratteri Esempio: il dominio del dipartimento di scienze a Pescara è sci.unich.it
Introduction1-87 Interrogare il DNS Il programma nslookup permette di interrogare il DNS m Per convertire un nome di dominio in numero IP m Per convertire un numero IP in nome di dominio La funzione nslookup è presente in tutti i sistemi operativi (es Windows 2000) Il sito Web permette di interrogare via Web il DNS Il sito accede al registro della Registration Authority italiana
Introduction1-88 Name Servers In teoria un solo name server potrebbe contenere l’intero database DNS mondiale; in pratica, questo server sarebbe così sovraccarico da essere inservibile. Inoltre, se mai si guastasse, l’intera Internet sarebbe bloccata. Nota: Nel 2000 c’erano solo 13 root name servers:10 negli USA, uno a Londra, uno a Stoccolma, uno a Tokyo statement.htm
Introduction1-89 Zone Lo spazio dei nomi DNS è suddiviso in zone non sovrapposte (cioè senza intersezione); normalmente una zona avrà un name server principale, che legge informazioni da un file sul proprio disco, ed uno o più name server secondari, che prendono le loro informazioni dal name server principale Per migliorare l’affidabilità, è possibile che alcuni server di zona si trovino al di fuori della zona stessa. Dove siano posti i confini di una zona è affare dell’amministratore della zona. Questa decisione è in gran parte basata su quanti name server si vogliono e dove vanno collocati.

Introduction1-91 DNS name servers Nessun server memorizza l’associazione name-to-IP address per tutta Internet local name servers: m ogni ISP ha un local (default) name server m Primo passo: query al local name server authoritative name server: m host: memorizza l’indirizzo IP ed il nome del sistema m Effettua la traduzione name/IP address translation DNS centralizzato Punto di fallimento globale Volume di traffico elevato Database remoto maintenance Non scala!!!
Introduction1-92 DNS Quando un programma deve trasformare un nome in un indirizzo IP chiama una procedura detta risolutrice (resolver), passandole il nome come parametro di ingresso. Il resolver interroga un server DNS locale, che cerca il nome nelle sue tabelle e restituisce l’indirizzo al resolver, che a sua volta lo trasmette al programma chiamante (usando tale indirizzo IP il programma può aprire una connessione di rete con la destinazione)
Introduction1-93 DNS: Root name servers Contattati dai name server locali root name server: m Interagiscono con il name server di autorità (se non possono risolvere direttamente ilo nome) m Ottengono il mapping m Restituiscono il risultato b USC-ISI Marina del Rey, CA l ICANN Marina del Rey, CA e NASA Mt View, CA f Internet Software C.

Introduction1-109 Socket programming Socket API introduced in BSD4.1 UNIX, 1981 explicitly created, used, released by apps client/server paradigm two types of transport service via socket API: m unreliable datagram m reliable, byte stream- oriented a host-local, application-created, OS-controlled interface (a “door”) into which application process can both send and receive messages to/from another application process socket Goal: learn how to build client/server application that communicate using sockets
Introduction1-110 Socket-programming using TCP Socket: a door between application process and end- end-transport protocol (UCP or TCP) TCP service: reliable transfer of bytes from one process to another process TCP with buffers, variables socket controlled by application developer controlled by operating system host or server process TCP with buffers, variables socket controlled by application developer controlled by operating system host or server internet
Introduction1-111 Socket programming with TCP Client must contact server server process must first be running server must have created socket (door) that welcomes client’s contact Client contacts server by: creating client-local TCP socket specifying IP address, port number of server process When client creates socket: client TCP establishes connection to server TCP When contacted by client, server TCP creates new socket for server process to communicate with client m allows server to talk with multiple clients m source port numbers used to distinguish clients (more in Chap 3) TCP provides reliable, in-order transfer of bytes (“pipe”) between client and server application viewpoint
Introduction1-112 Stream jargon A stream is a sequence of characters that flow into or out of a process. An input stream is attached to some input source for the process, eg, keyboard or socket. An output stream is attached to an output source, eg, monitor or socket.
Introduction1-113 Socket programming with TCP Example client-server app: 1) client reads line from standard input ( inFromUser stream), sends to server via socket ( outToServer stream) 2) server reads line from socket 3) server converts line to uppercase, sends back to client 4) client reads, prints modified line from socket ( inFromServer stream) Client process client TCP socket
Introduction1-114 Client/server socket interaction: TCP wait for incoming connection request connectionSocket = welcomeSocket.accept() create socket, port= x, for incoming request: welcomeSocket = ServerSocket() create socket, connect to hostid, port= x clientSocket = Socket() close connectionSocket read reply from clientSocket close clientSocket Server (running on hostid ) Client send request using clientSocket read request from connectionSocket write reply to connectionSocket TCP connection setup
Introduction1-115 Example: Java client (TCP) import java.io.*; import java.net.*; class TCPClient { public static void main(String argv[]) throws Exception { String sentence; String modifiedSentence; BufferedReader inFromUser = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in)); Socket clientSocket = new Socket("hostname", 6789); DataOutputStream outToServer = new DataOutputStream(clientSocket.getOutputStream()); Create input stream Create client socket, connect to server Create output stream attached to socket
Introduction1-116 Example: Java client (TCP), cont. BufferedReader inFromServer = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(clientSocket.getInputStream())); sentence = inFromUser.readLine(); outToServer.writeBytes(sentence + '\n'); modifiedSentence = inFromServer.readLine(); System.out.println ("FROM SERVER: " + modifiedSentence ); clientSocket.close(); } Create input stream attached to socket Send line to server Read line from server
Introduction1-117 Example: Java server (TCP) import java.io.*; import java.net.*; class TCPServer { public static void main(String argv[]) throws Exception { String clientSentence; String capitalizedSentence; ServerSocket welcomeSocket = new ServerSocket(6789); while(true) { Socket connectionSocket = welcomeSocket.accept(); BufferedReader inFromClient = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(connectionSocket.getInputStream())); Create welcoming socket at port 6789 Wait, on welcoming socket for contact by client Create input stream, attached to socket
Introduction1-118 Example: Java server (TCP), cont DataOutputStream outToClient = new DataOutputStream (connectionSocket.getOutputStream()); clientSentence = inFromClient.readLine(); capitalizedSentence = clientSentence.toUpperCase() + '\n'; outToClient.writeBytes(capitalizedSentence); } Read in line from socket Create output stream, attached to socket Write out line to socket End of while loop, loop back and wait for another client connection

Introduction1-120 Socket programming with UDP UDP: no “connection” between client and server no handshaking sender explicitly attaches IP address and port of destination to each packet server must extract IP address, port of sender from received packet UDP: transmitted data may be received out of order, or lost application viewpoint UDP provides unreliable transfer of groups of bytes (“datagrams”) between client and server
Introduction1-121 Client/server socket interaction: UDP close clientSocket Server (running on hostid ) read reply from clientSocket create socket, clientSocket = DatagramSocket() Client Create, address ( hostid, port=x, send datagram request using clientSocket create socket, port= x, for incoming request: serverSocket = DatagramSocket() read request from serverSocket write reply to serverSocket specifying client host address, port number
Introduction1-122 Example: Java client (UDP) Output: sends packet (TCP sent “byte stream”) Input: receives packet (TCP received “byte stream”) Client process client UDP socket
Introduction1-123 Example: Java client (UDP) import java.io.*; import java.net.*; class UDPClient { public static void main(String args[]) throws Exception { BufferedReader inFromUser = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in)); DatagramSocket clientSocket = new DatagramSocket(); InetAddress IPAddress = InetAddress.getByName("hostname"); byte[] sendData = new byte[1024]; byte[] receiveData = new byte[1024]; String sentence = inFromUser.readLine(); sendData = sentence.getBytes(); Create input stream Create client socket Translate hostname to IP address using DNS
Introduction1-124 Example: Java client (UDP), cont. DatagramPacket sendPacket = new DatagramPacket(sendData, sendData.length, IPAddress, 9876); clientSocket.send(sendPacket); DatagramPacket receivePacket = new DatagramPacket(receiveData, receiveData.length); clientSocket.receive(receivePacket); String modifiedSentence = new String(receivePacket.getData()); System.out.println("FROM SERVER:" + modifiedSentence); clientSocket.close(); } Create datagram with data-to-send, length, IP addr, port Send datagram to server Read datagram from server
Introduction1-125 Example: Java server (UDP) import java.io.*; import java.net.*; class UDPServer { public static void main(String args[]) throws Exception { DatagramSocket serverSocket = new DatagramSocket(9876); byte[] receiveData = new byte[1024]; byte[] sendData = new byte[1024]; while(true) { DatagramPacket receivePacket = new DatagramPacket(receiveData, receiveData.length); serverSocket.receive(receivePacket); Create datagram socket at port 9876 Create space for received datagram Receive datagram
Introduction1-126 Example: Java server (UDP), cont String sentence = new String(receivePacket.getData()); InetAddress IPAddress = receivePacket.getAddress(); int port = receivePacket.getPort(); String capitalizedSentence = sentence.toUpperCase(); sendData = capitalizedSentence.getBytes(); DatagramPacket sendPacket = new DatagramPacket(sendData, sendData.length, IPAddress, port); serverSocket.send(sendPacket); } Get IP addr port #, of sender Write out datagram to socket End of while loop, loop back and wait for another datagram Create datagram to send to client

Introduction1-131 Chapter 2 outline 2.1 Principles of app layer protocols m clients and servers m app requirements 2.2 Web and HTTP 2.3 FTP 2.4 Electronic Mail m SMTP, POP3, IMAP 2.5 DNS 2.6 Socket programming with TCP 2.7 Socket programming with UDP 2.8 Building a Web server 2.9 Content distribution m Network Web caching m Content distribution networks m P2P file sharing
Introduction1-132 Web caches (proxy server) user sets browser: Web accesses via cache browser sends all HTTP requests to cache m object in cache: cache returns object m else cache requests object from origin server, then returns object to client Goal: satisfy client request without involving origin server client Proxy server client HTTP request HTTP response HTTP request HTTP response origin server origin server
Introduction1-133 More about Web caching Cache acts as both client and server Cache can do up-to-date check using If-modified- since HTTP header m Issue: should cache take risk and deliver cached object without checking? m Heuristics are used. Typically cache is installed by ISP (university, company, residential ISP) Why Web caching? Reduce response time for client request. Reduce traffic on an institution’s access link. Internet dense with caches enables “poor” content providers to effectively deliver content
Introduction1-134 Caching example (1) Assumptions average object size = 100,000 bits avg. request rate from institution’s browser to origin serves = 15/sec delay from institutional router to any origin server and back to router = 2 sec Consequences utilization on LAN = 15% utilization on access link = 100% total delay = Internet delay + access delay + LAN delay = 2 sec + minutes + milliseconds origin servers public Internet institutional network 10 Mbps LAN 1.5 Mbps access link institutional cache
Introduction1-135 Caching example (2) Possible solution increase bandwidth of access link to, say, 10 Mbps Consequences utilization on LAN = 15% utilization on access link = 15% Total delay = Internet delay + access delay + LAN delay = 2 sec + msecs + msecs often a costly upgrade origin servers public Internet institutional network 10 Mbps LAN 10 Mbps access link institutional cache
Introduction1-136 Caching example (3) Install cache suppose hit rate is.4 Consequence 40% requests will be satisfied almost immediately 60% requests satisfied by origin server utilization of access link reduced to 60%, resulting in negligible delays (say 10 msec) total delay = Internet delay + access delay + LAN delay =.6*2 sec +.6*.01 secs + milliseconds < 1.3 secs origin servers public Internet institutional network 10 Mbps LAN 1.5 Mbps access link institutional cache
Introduction1-137 Content distribution networks (CDNs) Content replication I fornitori di servizi CDN attivano centinaia di server CDN in Internet m ISP di secondo o terzo livello Il contenuto informativo viene duplicato sui server CDN ogniqualvolta il cliente del CDN aggiorna l’informazione origin server in North America CDN distribution node CDN server in S. America CDN server in Europe CDN server in Asia
Introduction1-138 CDN:esempio server Rende disponibile direttamente file HTML Il riferimento: viene modificato h ttp:// HTTP request for DNS query for HTTP request for Origin server CDNs authoritative DNS server Nearby CDN server Provider CDN cdn.com Rende disponibili i file gif Il server DNS di autorità ha il compito di gestire i riferimenti
Introduction1-139 CDN: cont. CDN ha una tabella con le informazioni relative alle distanze tra i server CDN e gli ISP Le richieste effettuate al DNS di autorità utilizzano questa informazione. Non solo pagine web streaming audio/video streaming real-time audio/video m Nodi CDN sono una rete virtuale del livello delle applicazioni
Introduction1-140 P2P file sharing Alice runs P2P client application on her notebook computer Intermittently connects to Internet; gets new IP address for each connection Asks for “Hey Jude” Application displays other peers that have copy of Hey Jude. Alice chooses one of the peers, Bob. File is copied from Bob’s PC to Alice’s notebook: HTTP While Alice downloads, other users uploading from Alice. Alice’s peer is both a Web client and a transient Web server. All peers are servers = highly scalable!
Introduction1-141 P2P: directory centralizzata NAPSTER 1) Quando un peer si connette alla rete si collega ad un server centralizato: m Indirizzo IP m Informazione condivisa 2) Alice effettua una query per trovare “Hey Jude” 3) Alice scarica il file da Bob centralized directory server peers Alice Bob
Introduction1-142 Discussione Singolo punto di fallimento Performance limitata Copyright …. file transfer is decentralized, but locating content is highly decentralized
Introduction1-143 P2P: decentralized directory Peer m a group leader m È associato ad un group leader. Un group leader memorizza l’informazioni in condivisione dei “figli” Peer queries group leader m group leader è in grado di interrogare altri group leader.
Introduction1-144 decentralized directory: caratteristiche innovative overlay network peer sono i nodes connessioni tra peer ed i rispettivi group leader Connessioni tra group leader Rete virtuale bootstrap node un peer che si connette deve essere associato ad un group leader o dveve essere designato group leader vantaggi Non è presente una directory centralizzata m Il servizio di localizzazione è distribuito tra i peer svantaggi bootstrap node!!! group leader possono essere troppo carichi
