Universal Services
Specific constraints
LAN – Fast/Local
WAN – Remote (large area)
No “one size fits all”
Universal services
communicate to other users
Heterogeneous (different technologies)

Internetworking
Hardware
physical network interconnection
Software provides universal services
Called “internetwork” or “internet”
Not limited in size
Basic hardware Router

Routers
Special-purpose hardware for interconnecting (different) networks
Up to layer 3
Multi-homed Host
Router A
Router B
Interface #1
Interface #2
Interface #3

Internet Architecture
Heterogeneous
Connect LAN / WAN together (complex)
Internet Topology depends on
bandwidth
traffic
reliability
hardware cost(e.g. router)

Virtual Network
Internet protocol software
hides physical details including physical address
routing information
Application doesn’t care about physical
View communication as abstraction called Virtual Network
