  4. ARL Specification Confidential & Proprietary

  5. ARL Functions (1/2) • Layer 2 Forwarding Decision • DA Lookup • SA Learning • VID Lookup • BPDU/GMRP/GVRP Handling • STP Port State Handling • Port Mirroring • Non-IP Packet Handling (ARP, IPX …) • Statistical Counters • Decide to Route or to Switch Confidential & Proprietary

  6.

  8. Router v.s. Bridge/Switch Confidential & Proprietary

  9. Router does packet modification These two maybe occur at the same time if subnet directed broadcast is supported Packet modification summary These two maybe occur at the same time in a multilayer SW Confidential & Proprietary

  10. A Typical IP Routing Table • Entry in a typical routing table • An ARP table entry 31 0 Network Address for This Route Subnet Mask for This Route IP Address of the Next Hop Distance Metric Interface Port ID Sort Key Time to Live IP Address of the Next Hop or Local Host MAC Address [47:16] MAC Address [15:0] Time to Live Confidential & Proprietary

  11. A Sample Network Confidential & Proprietary

  12. Routing Tables • Routing table of router #1 • Routing table of router #2 Confidential & Proprietary

  13. What’s Multi-Layer Switching • Very Flexible Configuration Confidential & Proprietary

  14. VLAN , IP Subnet, and Port • Support Port Based VLAN • A Port can belong to Multiple IP Subnets but only one VLAN(exception : trunk port) • Multiple ports can group into a Subnet or VLAN • Each subnet has a unique router IP address • Ports of the same subnet have the same router MAC address But … • VLAN boundary defines the broadcast domain, not the subnet boundary !! • If Explicit Tag is applied, a packet can arrive any member ports of the L3S chip • Trunk port delivery • confused VLAN & subnet limitation ! Subnet N Subnet 1 VLAN Confidential & Proprietary

  15. VLAN , IP Subnet, and Port In Short, • VLAN (VID) is just a method to defines the broadcast domain of a IP subnet in our L3S design • Actually, there is only VLAN boundary but no subnet boundary !! • Or, Subnet boundary is virtually contained by the same router MAC address • Set VLAN Boundary = Subnet boundary you want to be -> normal operation 聽無 ?! Confidential & Proprietary

  16. When to route? When to switch ? • If (IP & DA = Router’s MAC of the source port) • Route Confidential & Proprietary

  17. Non-IP Packet Handling • Method #1 : Local Bridging • share the same VLAN boundary with IP packets • can use trunk port to connect to an external router • suitable for overlay of IP subnet & non-IP subnet environment • Method #2 : Local Bridging to all-port VLAN • may cause broadcast storm • not support in this version ! • Method #3 : Send to CPU if DA=router’s MAC • set NIPR = 1 to enable non-IP packet routing • need non-IP routing protocol running on the system Confidential & Proprietary

  18. IP Multicast Forwarding Reverse Path Forwarding(used by DVMRP) DVMRP,MOSPF : Two popular inter-gateway multicast Routing Protocols Build shortest path tree from source to each destination! DVMRP Multicast Forwarding Table TTL Based Scoping MOSFP Multicast Forwarding Cache Confidential & Proprietary

  19. Agenda • Position of ARL in L3S Chip • Concept of IP Routing & Multi-Layer Switching • ARL Architecture and I/O interface • Introduction to CIDR and Longest Prefix Matching • ARL Detailed Design • Forwarding Table Management • ARL Performance Estimation • Configuration Registers and Statistical Counters • ARL Pin Assignment • Q & A Confidential & Proprietary

  20. What’s CIDR • CIDR(Classless Inter-Domain Routing) is introduced to overcome the following problems • exhausting of class B network • explosion of internet routing table • CIDR allows any length of subnet mask • e.g. TWNIC can assign 2 class C networks(subnet mask length = 23) to a company if he has only 300 hosts=> efficient for IP address allocation • Router can aggregate several routes to a big route with less mask length=> reduce core router’s routing table size Confidential & Proprietary

  21. Route Aggregation by CIDR • CIDR permits route aggregation • reduce the Internet routing table Confidential & Proprietary

  22. CIDR and Longest Prefix Matching • With CIDR, a router has to perform longest prefix matching to find the next hop • This is what wire-speed routing does ! • e.g. dest_ IP: 1100 0001 1110 0001 0011 1110 1010 1111 • entry_IP 1: 1100 0001 1110 0001 0011 0000 0000 0000 mask : 1111 1111 1111 1111 1111 0000 0000 0000 • entry_IP 2: 1100 0001 1110 0001 0011 1100 0000 0000 mask : 1111 1111 1111 1111 1111 1100 0000 0000 • entry_IP 3: 1100 0001 1110 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 mask : 1111 1111 1111 1111 1111 1111 1100 0000 Confidential & Proprietary
