1.8 Internet is for Everyone

Objectives

Students will be able to:

  • Connect a personal experience to one challenge related to the idea that "The Internet is for Everyone".
  • Cite one example of how computing has a global affect -- both beneficial and harmful -- on people and society.
  • Explain that the Internet is a distributed global system that works on shared and open protocols.



  • Net Neutrality is a raging legal debate about the principle that Internet service providers should enable access to all content and applications regardless of the source, and without favoring or blocking particular products or websites.
  • Internet Censorship is the attempt to control or suppress of what can be accessed, published, or viewed on the Internet by certain people. This can be used to protect people (i.e. to not allow access to child pornography) but can also be used to limit free speech.
    -----------------------------

HW - Due Sept 12 4th Block

Blown to Bits (www.bitsbook.com), Chapter 1, pp. 4-13. - Read about the following koans (or truths) of bits related to the Internet:
  • Koan 1: It’s All Just Bits
  • Koan 2: Perfection Is Normal
  • Koan 3: There Is Want in the Midst of Plenty
  • Koan 6: Nothing Goes Away
  • Koan 7: Bits Move Faster Than Thought
  • Pick one of these koans and address the following questions:
    • Argue if you agree that it is a “truth” and if it will always be a “truth.”
    • How does this koan intersect with your life as a student?

You should review the material covered in the video.

1.10 Routers and Redundancy

Materials:
Print:

Objectives
Students will be able to:

  • Describe the redundancy of routing between two points on the Internet.
  • Evaluate the benefits and security concerns associated with the use of a
routed system of sending packets.
  • Send messages using a numeric addressing protocol with the Internet Simulator.

Vocabulary



Network Redundancy - having multiple backups to ensure reliability during cases of high usage or failure
Router - A type of computer that forwards data across a network

--------------------


    Introduce: New Version of the Internet Simulator - Routers
    Click and Read:
    Choose a Router: Add a router if you need more space. Then join a router with a few
    of the people sitting closest to you. Ideally, you’ll have 3-4 classmates with you on
    your router.
    Send a quick test message: Send a simple "hello" to a friend who is connected
    to the same router.
    • Find friend's (small) IP address
    • Send a message to that address
    • Friend should send a response

        Look at the Log Browser

    Activity: Investigate Routed Traffic
    Distribute Activity Guide: Routers and Redundancy - Activity Guide.

    What did we learn?!?!?

    How about the traffic?!?!?!

    Ask me about the router logs.

    Find another person...on a different router.
    Again:
    • Find friend's (small) IP address
    • Send a message to that address
    • Friend should send a response

        Look at the Log Browser

    Prompt: If you trace carefully you'll notice that messages between two people
    don't always visit the same routers along the way. This is not a mistake; it’s
    modeled after the way the actual Internet was designed. Why might the Internet
    have been designed to be flexible about how messages get from one person to another?
    Why go through the trouble of creating multiple paths between users?

    Wrap-up.
    Reflection: Ask students to answer the reflection questions at the bottom
    of this document: Routers and Redundancy - Activity Guide. (Turn in
    tomorrow for part of our grade for this section)



    Here's a cheat sheet for the features of the Internet students saw today and how the Internet Simulator is simulating an actual feature of the Internet:
    To / From Address: Like an IP address, included on every message sent over the Internet.
    just like a letter with a bad address on it. Tomorrow you'll discuss more technical reasons messages are dropped. Multiple Hops: A message travelling across the Internet will visit many routers as each
    tries to forward it along the most efficient path to its destination.
    Different Paths: Routers respond to traffic on the Internet in real time.
    The best path at one moment might be backed up a few seconds later. Routers choose the current best path to get the message through.
Dropped Messages: Poorly formed messages cannot be delivered and so are dropped,

    Note: In the Internet Simulator the "hops" are chosen randomly. This is done to create multiple paths. Actual routers use algorithms to determine the best path to send a message along.
    Assessment
    Code Studio: Assessment questions are available on the Code Studio.
