  4. Network Layer Overview

  5. Network Layer • IPv4

  6. IP Header Application Header + data

  7. IP IP IP IP

  8. Focus on Transport Layer IP IP

  9. Network Layer • The Network layer (Layer 3) provides services to exchange the data over the network between identified end devices. • Layer 3 uses four basic processes: • Addressing • Encapsulation • Routing • Decapsulation

  10. Addressing 172.16.3.10 192.168.100.99 Source IP = 192.168.100.99 Destination IP = 172.16.3.10 Source IP = 172.16.3.10 Destination IP = 192.168.100.99 • Source IP Address • Destination IP Address • More later!

  11. Encapsulation and Decapsulation Data Link Trailer Data Link Header IP Header TCP Header HTTP Header Data Data Link Trailer Data Link Trailer Data Link Header Data Link Header IP Packet IP Packet Data Link Trailer Data Link Trailer Data Link Header Data Link Header IP Packet IP Packet Data Link Trailer Data Link Trailer Data Link Header Data Link Header IP Packet IP Packet Data Link Trailer Data Link Header IP Header TCP Header HTTP Header Data

  12. Application Header + data Decapsulation • When the packet arrives at the destination host and is processed at Layer 3. • The host examines the destination address to verify that the packet was addressed to this device. • If the address is correct, the packet is decapsulated by the Network layer and the Layer 4 PDU contained in the packet is passed up to the appropriate service at Transport layer.

  13. Routing Source IP = 192.168.100.99 Destination IP = 172.16.3.10 172.16.3.10 192.168.100.99 • Routers examine Layer 3 Destination IP addresses to forward packets. • Search their routing tables for a match with a network address. • Send the packet on to the next-hop router. • Last router in path forwards the router to the host matching the Destination IP address of the packet.

  14. Network Layer Protocols • The Internet Protocol (IPv4 and IPv6) is the most widely-used Layer 3 data carrying protocol and will be the focus of this course.

  15. IPv4 basic characteristics:

  16. Connectionless • IP packets are sent without notifying the end host that they are coming. • TCP: A connection-oriented protocol does requires a connection to be established prior to sending TCP segments. • UDP: A connectionless protocol does not require a session to be established.

  17. Best Effort Service (unreliable) • The mission of Layer 3 is to transport the packets between the hosts while placing as little burden on the network as possible. • Speed over reliability • Layer 3 is not concerned with or even aware of the type of data contained inside of a packet. • This responsibility is the role of the upper layers as required. • Unreliable: IP does not have the capability or responsibility to manage, and recover from, undelivered or corrupt packets. • TCP’s responsibility at the end-to-end hosts

  18. Media Independent • Responsibility of the OSI Data Link layer to take an IP packet and prepare it for transmission over the communications medium. • Transport of IP packets is not limited to any particular medium. • In some cases a router will need to split up a packet when forwarding it from one media to a media with a smaller MTU. • fragmenting the packet or fragmentation.

  19. TCP MSS defines the maximum size of the data in the TCP segment. 20 octets 20 octets 1460 octets Ethernet MTU defines the maximum size of the data in the Ethernet frame. TCP MSS = 1460 Data = 1460 octets The host using Ethernet, MTU of 1500 octets so I will set my MSS to 1460. 1500 octets Determining TCP MTU • Typically, an end system uses the "outgoing interface MTU" minus 40 as its reported MSS. • For example, an TCP over IP over Ethernet MSS value is 1460 (1500 - 40 = 1460). • When a host (usually a PC) initiates a TCP session with a server, it negotiates the TCP segment size by using the maximum segment size (MSS) option field in the TCP SYN packet. (curriculum say IP segment). • The value of the MSS field is determined by the maximum transmission unit (MTU) configuration on the host. • The default Ethernet MTU value for a PC is 1500 bytes. (curriculum says MSS)

  20. IP Header • IP Destination Address • 32-bit binary value that represents the packet destination Network layer host address. • IP Source Address • 32-bit binary value that represents the packet source Network layer host address.

  21. IP’s TTL – Time To Live field • When a packet is first generated a value is entered into the TTL field. • Originally, the TTL field was the number of seconds, but this was difficult to implement and rarely supported. • Now, the TTL is now set to a specific value which is then decremented by each router.

  22. IP’s TTL – Time To Live field Decrement by 1, if 0 drop the packet. • If the router decrements the TTL field to 0, it will then drop the packet (unless the packet is destined specifically for the router, I.e. ping, telnet, etc.). • Common operating system TTL values are: • UNIX: 255 • Linux: 64 or 255 depending upon vendor and version • Microsoft Windows 95: 32 • Other Microsoft Windows operating systems: 128

  23. Assigned Numbers (RFC 1700, J. Reynolds, J. Postel, October 1994): • IP TIME TO LIVE PARAMETER • The current recommended default time to live (TTL) for the Internet Protocol (IP) is 64. http://www.switch.ch/docs/ttl_default.html TTL Overview - Disclaimer: The following list is a best effort overview of some widely used TCP/IP stacks. The information was provided by vendors and many helpful system administrators. We would like to thank all these contributors for their precious help ! SWITCH cannot, however, take any responsibility that the provided information is correct. Furthermore, SWITCH cannot be made liable for any damage that may arise by the use of this information. +-------------------------------+-------+---------+---------+ | OS Version |"safe" | tcp_ttl | udp_ttl | +-------------------------------+-------+---------+---------+ AIX n 60 30 DEC Pathworks V5 n 30 30 FreeBSD 2.1R y 64 64 HP/UX 9.0x n 30 30 HP/UX 10.01 y 64 64 Irix 5.3 y 60 60 Irix 6.x y 60 60 Linux y 64 64 MacOS/MacTCP 2.0.x y 60 60 OS/2 TCP/IP 3.0 y 64 64 OSF/1 V3.2A n 60 30 Solaris 2.x y 255 255 SunOS 4.1.3/4.1.4 y 60 60 Ultrix V4.1/V4.2A n 60 30 VMS/Multinet y 64 64 VMS/TCPware y 60 64 VMS/Wollongong 1.1.1.1 n 128 30 VMS/UCX (latest rel.) y 128 128 MS WfW n 32 32 MS Windows 95 n 32 32 MS Windows NT 3.51 n 32 32 MS Windows NT 4.0 y 128 128 Safe: TCP and UDP initial TTL values should be set to a "safe" value of at least 60 today.

  24. IP’s TTL – Time To Live field Decrement by 1, if 0 drop the packet. • The idea behind the TTL field is that IP packets can not travel around the Internet forever, from router to router. • Eventually, the packet’s TTL which reach 0 and be dropped by the router, even if there is a routing loop somewhere in the network.

  25. IP’s Protocol Field • Protocol field enables the Network layer to pass the data to the appropriate upper-layer protocol. • Example values are: • 01 ICMP • 06 TCP • 17 UDP

  26. IP’s ToS Field • Type-of-Service is used to determine the priority of each packet. • Enables Quality-of-Service (QoS) mechanism for high priority traffic such as; • VoIP • Streaming video • For ToS to be used: • Hosts set ToS field (can be an intermediary device such as a switch) • Routersmust be configured to examine ToS

  27. IP Fragmentation Original IP Packet IP Data = 1480 bytes IP Header = 20 bytes IP Data = 500 IP Packet Fragments IP Data = 500 IP Data = 480 L2 Data = 500 L2 • A router may have to fragment a packet when forwarding it from one medium to another medium that has a smaller MTU. • If Don’t Fragment flag set, it will not fragment packet, but discard it. • Fragment Offset field and More Fragments flag is used to reconstruct the packet at the destination host.

  28. IP Fragmentation IP Packet IP Packet IP Packet IP Packet IP Packet Network link with larger MTU Network link with smaller MTU Network link with larger MTU IP Packet IP Packet • When fragmentation occurs, it does not get reconstructed until it reaches the host. • This takes processing time. • Fragment Offset field identifies the order IP Packet IP Packet IP Packet IP Packet

  29. Path MTU Discovery Path MTU Discovery (Not discussed here, but is important) • RFC 1191 (RFC1191) • Path MTU Discovery and Filtering ICMPMarc Slemko • Link on CIS 81 web page

  30. Other IPv4 fields • Version - Contains the IP version number (4) • Header Length (IHL) - Specifies the size of the packet header. • Packet Length - This field gives the entire packet size, including header and data, in bytes. • Identification - This field is primarily used for uniquely identifying fragments of an original IP packet • Header Checksum - The checksum field is used for error checking the packet header. • Options - There is provision for additional fields in the IPv4 header to provide other services but these are rarely used.
