IK1550 Internetworking/Internetteknik

IK1550 Internetworking/Internetteknik Spring 2009, Period 4 这事第一学年最后一个学期的一门undergraduate课程，是由一个上学期让我影响非常深刻的，爱现的美国大肚子老头，G. Q. Maguire Jr 讲课，老头平时坐在实验室里，看上去凶巴巴的，生怕我多用他一张打印纸，或者多消耗他一杯咖啡，anyway，课上这个人还是很kind，他的课比较funny，我还是比较喜欢，好了，多的不说了，现在开始先把上过的几节课补起来。 -------------------------------------------- 刚才略微浏览了一下前几课的PPT,发现不懂的东西太多，我在网上找了一下关于网络的教材，下了以前用的一本教材，计算机网络第四版，我决定先把这本书重点过一遍，然后在逐渐进入以后的PPT。OK,这里先转到 关于这本书的日志。 ------------------------------------------------ introduction 很多废话，跳过 第二课 Module 2: IP Basics: Routing, ARP, and RARP Connection-oriented vs Connectionless • Connection-Oriented Services • Network layer first establishes a connection between a source and a destination • Packets are sent along this connection • Route is decided once at the time the connection is established • Routers/switches in connection-oriented networks are stateful • Connectionless Services • Network layer can process each packet independently • A route lookup is performed for each packet • IP is connectionless • IP routers are stateless Of course reality is (much) more complex, to gain performance IP routers dynamically create state (in caches) as there is frequently correlation between packets (i.e., if you just did a route lookup for destination B, there is a non-zero probability that another packet which will arrive shortly might also be headed to destination B).
