I must create a system, or be enslav'd by another Man's; I will not Reason and compare: my business is to create.

                                          ---Willian Blake

 

Suppose you want to build a computer network, one that has the potential to grow to global proportions1 and to support applicatons as diverse2 as teleconferecing, video on demand, electronic commerce, distributed computing, and digital libraries. What available3 technologies would server as the underlying  building blocks4, and what kind of software architecture would you design to integrate these building blocks into an effective communication service? Answering this question is the overriding5 goal of this book---- to describe the available building materials and then to show how they can be used  to construct a network from the ground up.

假如你想要去打造一个计算机网络, 它必须拥有发展为全球性分布,并且支持多种多样的应用程序,比如电视会议设备,视频需求,电子商务, 分布式计算和数字图书馆。 什么样的可获得的技术用作底层建筑积木,你设计什么样的软件结构将能够整合这些建筑积木形成一个有效的通信服务。 回答这个问题是本书比较重要的目标----去描述可获得性的建筑积木,并且接着展示他们从地平线上怎样构建一个网络。

Befor we can understand how to design a computer network, we should first agree on exactly what a computer netowrk is. At one time, the term network meant the set of serial lines used to attach8dumb6 terminals to mainframe computers. Other important networks include the voice telephone network and the cable TV networks include the voice telephone network and the cable TV network used to disseminate7 video signals. The main things these networks have in common are that they are specialized to handle one particular kind of data (keystrokes, voice or video) and they typically connect to special-purpose devices (terminals, hand receivers, and television sets).

在我们能够理解怎样去设计一个计算机网络, 我们首先应该很清楚地同意一个计算机网络是什么。 在某一时期,词汇“网络”意思是,一系列的串行集合,从被处理的无法交流的终端到巨型计算机。 另外一个重要的网络包括:语音电话网络和被用来传播视频信号的有线电视网络。 这些网络的共同点是:他们被用来专门处理一种类型的特殊数据(击键、语音和视频)和他们很可能连接到专用目的设备(终端、手持接收器、和电视机)。

What distinguishes a computer network from these other types of networks? Probably the most important characteristic of a computer network is its generality9. Computer networks are built primarily from general-purpose programmable hardware, and they are not optimized from application like making calls or delivering television signals. Instead, they are able to carry many different types of data, and they support a wide, and ever growing, range of applications. Today's computer networks are increasingly taking over  the functions previously performed by single-use networks. This chapter looks at some typical applications of computer networks and discusses the requirements that a network designer who wishes to support such applications must be aware of.

计算机网络和那些其它网络不同点是什么? 很可能,计算机网络的最重要特性是:它们的普通性。 计算机网络最初建造是为了专用目的的程序硬件,并且他们并没有被优化,从应用程序,例如打电话、发送电视信号。 代替的是, 他们能够传输许多不同类型 的数据, 并且他们支持一个更宽阔的、而且正在发展,范围更广的应用程序。 今天的计算机网络已经逐渐克服了先前单一用户网络执行的先前功能。 本章展示一些典型的计算机网络应用程 序, 并且讨论了,作为一个网络设计者希望支持诸如此类的应用程序,必须要注意的需求。

9. generality // n.概论;普遍性;一般性;通用性;

  1. A statement or remark that concerns the main aspects of something rather than the details. 一般性;

  2. The quality or state of being general; 普遍性;

  3. a statement or principle that is true in most cases.通用性;

 

 

  Once we understand the requirements, how do we proceed? Fortunately, we will not be building the first network. others, most notably11 the community12 of research responsible for the Internet, have gone before us. We will use the wealth13 of experience generated from the Internet to guide our design. This experience is embodied14 in a network architecture that identifies the available hardware and software components and shows how they can be arranged to form a complete network system.

一旦,我们理解了这些需求, 我们该怎样处理? 幸运的,我们将来也不会建设第一个网络。 相反, 绝大多数,尤其是研究性社会团体对因特网负责,我们之前已经存在。我们也将要使用从因特网中提取的大量经验去指导和设计。 这种经验被包含在网络结构中,定义了可获得的硬件和软件部分,显示了他们怎样被排列组成一个完整的网络系统。

11. notably //  1. adv. 副词 You use notably to specify an important or typical example of something that you are talking about.【adv group /cl】 尤其

  The divcore would be granted when more important problems, notably the fate of the chirldren, had been decided. 当更重要的问题,尤其是孩子们的命运被决定时,离婚就会获得批准。

      In addition to unnderstanding how networks are built, it is increasingly important to understand how they are operated or managed and how network applications are developed. Most of us now have computer networks in our homes, offices, and in some cases in our cars, so operating networks is no longer a matter only  for a few specialists. And, with the proliferation15 of programmable, network-attached devices such as smartphones, many more of this generation will develop networked applications than in the past. So we need to consider networks from these multiple perspectives: builders, operators, application developers.

  另外,对于理解网络是怎样建设的,对于理解网络应用程序怎样被开发和他们怎样被操作和管理逐渐显得更重要。 我们中绝大多数现在有计算机网络:在我们的家里、办公室,还有在我们的汽车里的一些东西里,因此操作网络不再仅仅是一些专家的事情。 并且,伴随着可程序化的激增,可接触式网络设备,例如,小灵通,这种更新中的大多数将开发网络应用程序比起在过去。 因此,我们需要考虑网络从多个角度:建设者、操作者、应用程序开发者。

15. proliferate /prəlifəreit/  CET 6+ proliferates   proliferating  proliferated

  To star us on the road toward understanding how to build, operate, and program  a network, this chapter does four things. First, it explores the requirements that different applications and different communities of people place on the network. Second, it introduces the idea of a network architecture, which lays the foundation for the rest of the book. Third, it introduces some of the key elements in the implementation of computer networks. Finally, it identifies the key metrics that are used to evaluate the performance of computer networks.

  对于我们的开始, 在理解的道路上,怎样去建设、操作、并且编程一个网络, 本章要作四件事情。 第一件,它探索了需求:不同的应用程序和在网络上不同的交流人群。 第二,它包含网络架构的思想,对于本书的其它章节是基础。第三、它介绍了一些实现计算机网络的关键性元素。最后,它定义了关键性的度量,用它们来评估计算机网络的性能。 

 

 

1.1 Applications

 

1.1  应用程序

 

Most people know the Internet through its applications : the World Wide Web, email, online social networking, streaming audio and video, instant messaging, file-sharing, to name just a few examples. That is to say, we interact with the Internet as users of the network. Internet users represent the largest class of people who interact with the Internet in some way, but there are several other important constituencies16. There is the group of people who create the applications--- a group that has greatly expanded17 in recent years as powerful programming platforms and new devices such as smartphones have created new opportunities to develop applications quickly and to bring them to a largest market. Then there are those who operate or manage networks--mostly a behind-the-scenes job, but a critical one and often a very complex one. With the prevalence18 of home networks, more and more people are also becoming, if only in a small way, network operators. Finally, there are those who design and build the devices and protocols that collectively make up the Internet. The final constituency is the traditional target of networking textbooks such as this one and will continue to be our main focus. However, throughout this book we will also consider the perspectives of application developers and network operators. Considering these perspectives will enable us to better understand the diverse requirements that a network must meet.  Application developers will also be able to make applications that work better if they understand how the underlying technology works and interacts with the application. So before we start figuring out how to build a network, let's look more closely at the types of applications that today's networks support.

  多数人知道因特网,通过它们的应用程序: 万维网, 伊妹儿, 在线社交网络,流语音和视频, 瞬时信息,文件共享,且说这几个例子。也就是说,我们接触因特网作为网络的用户。 因特网用户代表了最大阶层的人们, 他们在某些方面和因特网互动, 但是也有许多重要的团体。 有一组人创造应用程序--- 在最近几年,一组人非常快地扩展作为强大的编程平台, 并且新的设备例如,手机已经创造了新的机遇, 去快速开发应用程序,把他进带进一个更大的市场。 接着是操作和管理网络的那些人---绝大多是后台工作, 但是也是至关重要的一个并且经常是非常复杂的。 伴随着家庭网络的盛行,越来越多的人也变成了网络操作者,仅仅是以一种方式。 最后,还有一些设计和制造设备的人们, 以及被收集起来的协议组成因特网。 最终的团体是网络教科书的传统目标,例如这本书,并且将来继续作为我们的主要焦点。 无论如何,通过这本书,我们也将考虑从应用程序开发人员和网络操作人员的角度。 考虑这些方面也将促进我们更好地理解更多在网络中会遇到的需求。 应用程序开发人员也将使应用程序工作的更好,如果他们理解底层技术怎样工作,并且和应用程序交互操作。 因此, 我们开始描述清怎样构建一个网络前,让我们更关注今天网络所支持的应用程序类型。

  In its basic form, the Web presents an intuitively23 simple interface. Users view pages full of textual and graphical objects and click on objects that they want to learn more about, and a corresponding new page appears. Most people are also aware that just under the covers each selectable object on page is bound to an identifier for the next page or object to be viewed. This identifier called a Uniform Resource Locator (URL), provides a way of identifying all the possible objects that can be viewed from your web brower. For example,

  http://www.cs.princeton.edu/~llp/index.html

is the URL for a page providing information about one of this book's author: the string http indicates that the Hypertext Transfer protocol (HTTP) should be used to download the page, www.cs.princeton.edu is the name of the machine that serves the page, and

/~llp/index.html

uniquely identifies Larry's home page at this site.

  在它的基本格式中,WEB体现了一种直觉的、简单的结口。 用户浏览充满文本和图表目标的网页,并且点击他们想要了解更多的目标, 一个相应的新页面出现。 绝大多数人也意识到那,每一个可选目标的背后,存在一个标识,对于被浏览的下一个页面。 这个标识被称为“统一资源定位”, 提供了一种方法,标识所有可能的目标,在你的浏览器上可以看到的。例如:

http://www.cs.princeton.edu/~llp/index.html

是一个URL 对于本书作者提供了信息的页面: http 字符串暗示了超文本传输协议,被用来下载页面,http://www.cs.princeton.edu是服务器页面的机器名, 并且/~llp/index.html  在网页中唯一标识Larry 的页面。

 

23. intuitively /intuətiv/ 1. adj. 形容词 If you have an intuitive idea or feeling about something, you feel that it is true although you have no evidence or proof of it 直觉的

  in+tui+tive+ly adv. 副词;凭直觉地

  He seemed to know intuitively that I must be missing my mother. 他似乎凭直觉知道我一定是在思念我的母亲。

 

  What most web users are not aware of, however, is that by clicking on just one such URL over a dozen messages may be exchanged over Internet, and many more than that if the web page is complicated with lots of embedded objects. This message exchange includes up to six messages to translate the server name (www.cs.princeton.edu) into its Internet Protocol (IP) address (128.112.136.35), three messages to set up a Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) connection between your browser and this server, four messages for your browser to send the HTTP "GET" require and the server to respond with the requested page (and for each side to acknowledge receipt of that message),  and four messages to tear24down the TCP connection. Of course, this dose not include the millions of messages exchanged by Internet nodes throughout the day, just to let each other know that they exist and are ready to serve web pages, translate name to addresses, and forward messages toward their ultimate25 destination.

  绝大多数用户并不关心那些, 无论如何,在因特网上仅仅需要敲击一个像这样的URL,许多信息交换, 许多比那更复杂的网页有许多嵌入式对象。 这种信息交换包括,六条以上的信息去把服务器名转换为IP地址(128.112.136.35), 三条信息被用来搭建TCP连接,在浏览器和这台服务器之间,四条信息对于浏览器去发送HTTP的“get”请求, 服务器用请求页面作为响应。 四条信息撕碎TCP连接。 当然, 这并不包括,每天通过网络结点成千万条的信息, 仅仅是让彼此知道他们的存在,准备服务WEB页面,转换名字为IP地址,驱使信息向前到达最终目的地。

  Another widespread application class of the Internet is the delivery of "streaming"26 audio and video. Services such as vido on demand and Internet radio27 use this technology. While we frequently start at a website to initiate28 a streaming session29, the delivery30 of audio and video has some important differences  from fetching31 a simple web page of text and images. For example, you often don't want to download an entire video file--a process that might take minutes to hours -- before watching the first scene. Streaming audio and video implies a more timely transfer of messages from sender to receiver, and the receiver displays the video or plays the audio pretty much as it arrives.

  A subtly different application class is real-time audio and video. These applications have considerably tighter timing constraints than streaming applications. When using a voice-over-IP application such as SkypeTM or a video conferencing application, the inter-action among the participants must be timely. When a person at one end gestures, then that action must be displayed at the other end as quickly as possible. When one person tries to interrupt another, the interrupted person needs to hear that as soon as possible1 and decide whether to allow the interruption or to keep talking  over the interrupter.
