</blockquote><p>Early computer networks, such as ARPANET, were designed for government and military applications. As
an increasing number of researchers worked on these technologies, there was a growing push to
standardize the communication protocols and open access to academic and commercial interests. Vint
Cerf introduced the term Internet in RFC 675 (1974) as part of the first specification of TCP, and
the name stuck. The TCP/IP protocol suite was later standardized in 1982, with the Internet emerging
as the public successor of ARPANET.</p>

<p class="topic-title first pt-2 mb-1">Chapter Objectives</p><hr class="mt-1" />
<p>In this chapter, we will address the following instructional objectives:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li>We will describe the principles of application-layer overlay networks.</li>
<li>We will compare and contrast the functioning of the UDP and TCP transport-layer protocols.</li>
<li>We will explore how cryptography can be used to provide secure network communication.</li>
<li>We will summarize how the network and link layers deliver messages through the Internet.</li>
<li>We will consider how wireless technologies different from traditional wired networks.</li>
</ul>
</div>
<p>The previous chapter introduce the socket API as a mechanism that appears to behave like other forms
of IPC. Using the socket API, the application can use traditional <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">read()</span></code> and <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">write()</span></code>
functions or the equivalent <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">sendto()</span></code> and <code class="docutils literal notranslate"><span class="pre">recvfrom()</span></code> to exchange data with other processes.
From this perspective, building networked applications bears many similarities to traditional
single-host concurrent software. The key differences arise at the design stage.</p>
<p>Networked applications can face a dilemma that other forms of concurrent software do not. For
example, assume that a process correctly formats a message and sends it into the socket. At the
other end, the receiver has correctly prepared to receive the message, but the message never
arrives. In other forms of IPC, the processes could check error codes provided by the OS to
determine what went wrong. In the network, however, there is no OS. The sender believes it was
successful at its end and hopes for the best for the message delivery. The receiver only knows the
data did not arrive; it cannot tell if the data was lost in transit or if the sender itself failed.</p>
<p>Architects of networked applications must consider how to handle this scenario. Some socket
configurations request the lower layers of the protocol stack fix the problem; the lower layers may
still fail, but they will at least try. In other configurations, the application itself can accept
responsibility for handling the fault, either by re-sending the request, displaying an error
message, or downgrading the quality of the application service (such as showing a pixelated version
of the image or pausing a video playback while more data is being buffered). This design choice
entails selecting an appropriate transport-layer protocol. While it may seem that reliability is
always required, that is not necessarily so. To properly design networked applications, it is
important to understand how the layers of the network fit together.</p>
<p>In this chapter, we will explore the full protocol stack of the <a class="reference internal" href="Glossary.html#term-internet-model"><span class="xref std std-term">Internet model</span></a>. Starting at
the top, we will start with the overall system architecture of the application, along with how the
transport layer protocols influence the design. In addition, we will explore the capabilities and
functioning of the lower protocol layers, which can influence application design choices. This
overview includes an introduction to available security services, how hosts are located, and how
data is actually transmitted. This chapter necessarily omits some details to create a foundational
understanding of the key concepts of these layers. Interested readers should explore the details in
the recommended resources.</p>
