A computer network is a collection of connected computing devices that communicate and share resources. Connections between devices are usually made with physical wires or cables, but some use wireless radio waves or infrared signals. A network allows for resource and information sharing between connected devices, as well as communication applications like email, messaging, video conferencing, and more. The major types of networks include local-area networks (LANs) connecting devices in a small area, wide-area networks (WANs) connecting LANs over large distances like the Internet, and metropolitan-area networks (MANs) connecting infrastructure in cities.
The application layer allows users to interface with networks through application layer protocols like HTTP, SMTP, POP3, FTP, Telnet, and DHCP. It provides the interface between applications on different ends of a network. Common application layer protocols include DNS for mapping domain names to IP addresses, HTTP for transferring web page data, and SMTP/POP3 for sending and receiving email messages. The client/server and peer-to-peer models describe how requests are made and fulfilled over the application layer.
Routing protocols allow routers to share information about networks and determine optimal paths between sources and destinations. Common routing protocols include RIP, OSPF, and BGP. Routers use routing tables containing network addresses, next hops, and interfaces to forward packets based on longest prefix matching of the destination address. Dynamic routing allows tables to automatically update when network changes occur.
The document summarizes contention-based MAC protocols for wireless sensor networks. It discusses the PAMAS protocol, which provides detailed overhearing avoidance and uses two channels - a data channel and control channel. Signaling packets like RTS, CTS, and busy tones are transmitted on the control channel. It also covers concepts like low duty cycles, wake up mechanisms, and protocols like S-MAC that coordinate node schedules to reduce idle listening. Quizzes are included to test understanding of discussed concepts.

Mobile transport layer - traditional TCPVishal Tandel
This document summarizes several mechanisms proposed to improve TCP performance in wireless networks. It discusses approaches like indirect TCP, snooping TCP, and mobile TCP that split the TCP connection to isolate the wireless link. It also covers fast retransmit/recovery techniques, transmission freezing, and selective retransmission to more efficiently handle packet losses due to mobility. While each approach aims to address TCP issues in wireless networks, they often do so by mixing layers or requiring changes to the basic TCP protocol stack.
The application layer is the top layer of the OSI model and controls how applications communicate over a network. It provides services for applications including mail, file transfer, domain name translation and network security. Protocols at this layer include HTTP, FTP, SMTP, DNS and others that allow applications to access remote files and exchange messages over the internet in a standardized way. The application layer hides the complexities of the underlying network from applications and ensures reliable and secure communication between devices.
This document provides an introduction to data communication and networks. It discusses key concepts such as communication, telecommunication, data, data communication components, and data representation. It also covers different network topologies including mesh, star, and bus. The main points are:
- Data communication involves the exchange of data between devices via a transmission medium. Its effectiveness depends on delivery, accuracy, timeliness and jitter.

Lecture 7 8 ad hoc wireless media access protocolsChandra Meena
1) The document discusses issues with media access control (MAC) protocols in ad hoc wireless networks, including problems like hidden terminals and exposed nodes.
2) It classifies MAC protocols as synchronous, asynchronous, receiver-initiated, or sender-initiated. The RTS-CTS handshake is presented as a solution to the hidden terminal problem.
3) However, the RTS-CTS approach has shortcomings like collisions when RTS and CTS messages are sent by different nodes or when multiple CTS messages are granted. Solutions to the exposed node problem are also discussed.
Mobile Transport Layer protocols aim to address challenges with TCP over mobile networks. Traditional TCP uses congestion control like slow start and fast retransmit/recovery that can reduce performance over mobile. Indirect TCP splits the connection at the access point to avoid wireless errors affecting the wired segment. Snooping TCP buffers packets at the access point and performs local retransmissions on errors. Mobile TCP splits the connection and uses an optimized TCP between the supervisory host and mobile host, choking the sender when the mobile is disconnected to avoid buffering large amounts of undelivered data.
The birth of electronic mail occurred in 1965 at MIT. Ray Tomlinson sent the first message between two computers in 1971 using the "@" symbol to denote sending from one computer to another. Email was further developed to allow organization into folders and offline reading. Common email protocols include SMTP, POP3, and IMAP. Email is important as it saves time and money while allowing instant communication. HTTPS encrypts messages sent over HTTP for secure transmission. FTP allows two computers to connect over the internet and transfer files by converting them to binary for transmission.

MFN Status and Trade between Pakistan and IndiaTabassum Naveed
This document summarizes the trade relationship between Pakistan and India, including their history of conflict and the implications of Pakistan granting Most Favored Nation (MFN) status to India. Some key points:
- Trade between the two countries has fluctuated since partition in 1947 due to several armed conflicts between them.
- Pakistan's trade balance shifted from a surplus to a deficit with India in recent decades as India's economy has grown larger.
- Granting MFN status could increase trade but local Pakistani industries worry about facing competition from subsidized Indian goods without fair conditions.
- While increased trade could benefit both economies, Pakistan needs to ensure reciprocity and a level playing field for its businesses in any
The most favoured nation (MFN) clause is a status granted by one country to another to ensure non-discriminatory trade. Countries with MFN status receive reduced tariffs and cannot be discriminated against in trade. The MFN status prevents preferential treatment to certain countries and guarantees equal trade terms. It is an important principle governed by the World Trade Organization that covers trade in goods, services, and intellectual property rights. While MFN aims to promote fair trade, exceptions are made to support developing countries through systems like the Generalized System of Preferences.
Pakistan's exports to and imports from India from 2001-2010 are presented. Pakistan's top exports to India were edible fruit, nuts, oils, and organic chemicals. Its top imports from India were sugar, cotton, manmade filaments, and organic chemicals. While geographical proximity and cultural affinity could support more trade, current levels remain low due to sensitive item restrictions, high trade costs, and a trust deficit between the countries. Further trade liberalization and diplomatic efforts are recommended to expand bilateral trade.
This document discusses Most Favored Nation (MFN) status in international trade. It provides definitions, explaining that MFN means a country receives equal trade advantages as another country's most favored trading partners. MFN status and national treatment are cornerstones of WTO trade law. The document outlines the history of MFN and differentiates between conditional and unconditional MFN status. It discusses advantages like increased market access and competitiveness for smaller countries, as well as disadvantages like lack of protection for domestic industries. Exceptions to MFN are allowed under some trade agreements.
Consultancy technology transfer tax perspectiveAltacit Global
Technology transfer involves sharing skills, knowledge, technologies and methods between organizations to make scientific and technological developments more widely accessible. It includes activities like evaluating inventions, marketing technologies, licensing, protecting intellectual property, and assisting in business creation. Tax issues arise for the home country exporting the technology, the host country importing it, and multinational companies. Payments related to international technology transfer like royalties and fees for technical services are taxable in the hands of the foreign recipient in India. Tax policies can increase costs and reduce returns from technology transfer.

1. The MFN backbone consists of a fiber-optic Gigabit Ethernet network that runs through the city
in a ring topology. The fiber-optic ring connects the hybrid fiber- coax nodes that bring coax
cabling to each neighborhood. Also connected to the ring are six data routers. Each router links
one or more Mapleland businesses to MFN via simple point-to-point connections. At the
business, the fiber-optic network enters the building and connects to a media converter. A UTP
cable connects to the media converter and typically to a 100-Mbps Ethernet switch.
The switch links the business’s computers and servers in a star topology via UTP cab

Design Scenario
1. Draw a network map that shows the topology of the MFN and how the main components are
connected.
2. 2. What other information would you gather to improve your map and add more detail?
3. a) Port details on the routers and the switches
b) Cable lengths for the utp and fiber
c) Fiber pairs on the backbone
d) Number of clients on the network
e) Ip address used in each subnets
f) Bandwidth from isp to the clients distribution
g) Type of routers and switches capability
h) Servers back up and redundancy cables
3. Mapleland is considering expanding the MFN to include wireless access for its residences.
What additional investigation will you do to prepare for a citywide wireless network?
a) Where the users are located.
b) Characteristics of the access points’ antennas, and the location of major obstructions.
c) Checking Architectural and Environmental Constraints:
d) Checking a Site for other Wireless Installation and The initial placement of an access point
is based on an estimate of the signal loss that will occur between the access point and the users
of the access point.
e) Checking RF signal traveling through objects of various sorts can be affected by many
different problems, including the following:
I. Reflection: causes the signal to bounce back on itself. The signal
can interfere with itself in the air and affect the receiver’s capability to
discriminate between the signal and noise in the environment.
II. Absorption: Some of the electromagnetic energy of the signal can
be absorbed by the material in objects through which it passes, resulting in a
4. reduced signal level. Water has significant absorption properties, and objects
such as trees or thick wooden structures can have a high water content.
III. Refraction: When an RF signal passes from a medium with one
density into a medium with another density, the signal can be bent.
IV. Diffraction: results when a region through which the RF signal can
pass easily is adjacent to a region in which reflective obstructions exist.
4. What security concerns do you have for the wireless network?
a) Accidental association
When a user turns on a computer and it latches on to a wireless access point from a
neighboring company’s overlapping network, the user may not even know that this has
occurred. However, it is a security breach in that proprietary company information is exposed
and now there could exist a link from one company to the other. This is especially true if the
laptop is also hooked to a wired network.
B Malicious associations
“Malicious associations” are when wireless devices can be actively made by attackers to connect
to a company network through their cracking laptop instead of a company access point (AP).
b) Ad hoc networks
Ad hoc networks are defined as peer-to-peer networks between wireless computers that do not
have an access point in between them. While these types of networks usually have little
protection, encryption methods can be used to provide security.
c) Non-traditional networks
Non-traditional networks such as personal network Bluetooth devices are not safe from
cracking and should be regarded as a security risk. Evenbarcode readers, handheld PDAs, and
wireless printers and copiers should be secured. These non-traditional networks can be easily
overlooked by IT personnel who have narrowly focused on laptops and access points.
d) Identity theft (MAC spoofing)
5. Identity theft (or MAC spoofing) occurs when a cracker is able to listen in on network traffic and
identify the MAC address of a computer with network privileges.
.
e) Man-in-the-middle attacks
A man-in-the-middle attacker entices computers to log into a computer which is set up as a
soft AP (Access Point). Once this is done, the hacker connects to a real access point through
another wireless card offering a steady flow of traffic through the transparent hacking computer
to the real network. The hacker can then sniff the traffic. One type of man-in-the-middle attack
relies on security faults in challenge and handshake protocols to execute a “de-authentication
attack”.
6 Denial of service
A Denial-of-Service attack (DoS) occurs when an attacker continually bombards a targeted AP
(Access Point) or network with bogus requests, premature successful connection messages,
failure messages, and/or other commands. These cause legitimate users to not be able to get
on the network and may even cause the network to crash. These attacks rely on the abuse of
7 Network injection
In a network injection attack, a cracker can make use of access points that are exposed to non-
filtered network traffic, specifically broadcasting network traffic such as “Spanning Tree”
(802.1D), OSPF, RIP, and HSRP. The cracker injects bogus networking re-configuration
commands that affect routers, switches, and intelligent hubs. A whole network can be brought
down in this manner and require rebooting or even reprogramming of all intelligent networking
devices.
8 Caffe Latte attack
The Caffe Latte attack is another way to defeat WEP. It is not necessary for the attacker to be in
the area of the network using this exploit. By using a process that targets the Windows wireless
stack, it is possible to obtain the WEP key from a remote client.[8] By sending a flood of
encrypted ARPrequests, the assailant takes advantage of the shared key authentication and the
message modification flaws in 802.11 WEP. The attacker uses the ARP responses to obtain the
WEP key in less than 6 minutes.[9]
