  1. Router Construction • Outline • Switched Fabrics • IP Routers • Extensible (Active) Routers 4/598N: Computer Networks

  2. I/O bus CPU Interface 1 Interface 2 Interface 3 Main memory Workstation-Based • Aggregate bandwidth • 1/2 of the I/O bus bandwidth • capacity shared among all hosts connected to switch • example: 800Mbps bus can support 8 T3 ports • Packets-per-second • must be able to switch small packets • 100,000 packets-per-second is achievable • e.g., 64-byte packets implies 51.2Mbps 4/598N: Computer Networks

  3. Input Output port port Output Input port port Fabric Output Input port port Output Input port port Switching Hardware • Design Goals • throughput (depends on traffic model) • scalability (a function of n) • Ports • circuit management (e.g., map VCIs, route datagrams) • buffering (input and/or output) • Fabric • as simple as possible • sometimes do buffering (internal) 4/598N: Computer Networks

  4. Buffering • Wherever contention is possible • input port (contend for fabric) • internal (contend for output port) • output port (contend for link) • Head-of-Line Blocking • input buffering 4/598N: Computer Networks

  5. Crossbar Switches 4/598N: Computer Networks

  8. Self-Routing Fabrics • Banyan Network • constructed from simple 2 x 2 switching elements • self-routing header attached to each packet • elements arranged to route based on this header • no collisions if input packets sorted into ascending order • complexity: n log2 n 4/598N: Computer Networks

  9. Self-Routing Fabrics (cont) • Batcher Network • switching elements sort two numbers • some elements sort into ascending (clear) • some elements sort into descending (shaded) • elements arranged to implement merge sort • complexity: n log22 n • Common Design: Batcher-Banyan Switch 4/598N: Computer Networks

  10. High-Speed IP Router • Switch (possibly ATM) • Line Cards + Forwarding Engines • link interface • router lookup (input) • common IP path (input) • packet queue (output) • Network Processor • routing protocol(s) • exceptional cases 4/598N: Computer Networks

Service Model • Connectionless (datagram-based) • Best-effort delivery (unreliable service) • packets are lost • packets are delivered out of order • duplicate copies of a packet are delivered • packets can be delayed for a long time • Datagram format 4/598N: Computer Networks
