  3. Homework #3 Solutions Contd. • 5:20 a) There are 4096 ports so we run out if the connect rate exceeds 4096/60 = 70/sec. • 5:20 b) A is the host that initiated close and is in TimeWait, the other is B. If B does not receive an ACK of its FIN, it will retransmit FINs until A responds as long as it is in TimeWait. If we allow reopening before TimeWait expires then a given late arriving FIN might be part of any one of a number of prior connections. Thus, A would have to keep a list of all prior connects and if a FIN arrives A would have to check its list to decide whether to send an ACK or a RST. An ACK to all FINs would be fine as well. • 5:25 With Dev = 1.0, it takes 20 iterations for RTO to fall below 4.0sec. With initial Dev = 0.1 it takes 19 iterations, with initial Dev = 2.0 it takes 21. • 6:14 a) The window doubles every RTT thus it will take 10 RTTs for the send window to reach 210 KB = 1MB • 6:14 b) After 10 RTTs, 1023KB have been transferred and the window size is now 1MB. Since the max. capacity of the network is not yet reached, slow start continues but now we’re receive window limited so it will take 9 more RTTs to transfer the remaining 9MB so it takes 19 RTTs to complete the file transfer.

  7. Route Propagation in the Internet • Autonomous System (AS) • corresponds to an administrative domain • examples: University, company, backbone network • assign each AS a 16-bit number • Two-level route propagation hierarchy • interior gateway protocol (each AS selects its own) • exterior gateway protocol (Internet-wide standard) • Routes information is propagated at various levels • hosts know local router • local routers know site routers • site routers know core router • core routers know everything CS 640

  8. Popular Interior Gateway Protocols • RIP: Route Information Protocol • distributed with BSD Unix • distance-vector algorithm • based on hop-count (infinity set to 16) • OSPF: Open Shortest Path First • recent Internet standard • uses link-state algorithm • supports load balancing • supports authentication CS 640

  9. EGP: Exterior Gateway Protocol • Overview • Original standard for Internet routing protocol (c 1983) • designed for tree-structured Internet • Single backbone • concerned with reachability, not optimal routes • Protocol messages • neighbor acquisition: one router requests that another be its peer; peers exchange reachability information • neighbor reachability: one router periodically tests if the another is still reachable; exchange HELLO/ACK messages; • uses a k-out-of-n rule: ¼ to stay up, ¾ to establish • routing updates: peers periodically exchange their routing tables (including route weights) using a basic distance vector method • There can be multiple connections between ASs CS 640

  10. Limits of EGP • At first glance, EGP seems like a distance vector protocol since updates carry lists of destinations and distances – but distances are NOT reliable. • EGP was designed to support tree topologies, not meshes • False routes injected by accident can have really bad consequences (black holes) – there is no easy way for dealing with this problem • Loops can easily occur – all we are doing is forwarding routing tables • EGP was not designed to easily support fragmented IP packets – all data is assumed to fit in MTU. • Solutions to these and other EGP problems were all manual CS 640

  11. BGP-4: Border Gateway Protocol • BGP-1 developed in 1989 to address problems with EGP. • Assumes Internet is an arbitrarily interconnected set of ASs • AS traffic types • Local • starts or ends within an AS • Transit • passes through an AS • AS Types • stub AS: has a single connection to one other AS • carries local traffic only • multihomed AS: has connections to more than one AS • refuses to carry transit traffic • transit AS: has connections to more than one AS • carries both transit and local traffic CS 640

  12. BGP-4 contd. • Each AS has: • one or more border routers • Handles inter-AS traffic • one BGP speaker for an AS that participates in routing • BGP speaker establishes BGP sessions with peers and advertises: • local network names • other reachable networks (transit AS only) • gives path information including path weights (MEDs) • withdrawn routes • BGP goal: find loop free paths between ASs • Optimality is secondary goal • It’s neither a distance-vector nor a link-state protocol • Hard problem • Internet’s size (~12K active ASs) means large tables in BGP routers • Autonomous domains mean different path metrics • Need for flexibility CS 640

  13. 128.96 Customer P 192.4.153 (AS 4) Regional provider A (AS 2) Customer Q 192.4.32 (AS 5) 192.4.3 Backbone network (AS 1) Customer R 192.12.69 (AS 6) Regional provider B (AS 3) Customer S 192.4.54 (AS 7) 192.4.23 BGP Example • Speaker for AS2 advertises reachability to P and Q • network 128.96, 192.4.153, 192.4.32, and 192.4.3, can be reached directly from AS2 • Speaker for backbone advertises • networks 128.96, 192.4.153, 192.4.32, and 192.4.3 can be reached along the path (AS1, AS2). • Speaker can cancel previously advertised paths CS 640

  14. Some BGP details • Path vectors are most important innovation in BGP • Enables loop prevention in complex topologies • If AS sees itself in the path, it will not use that path • Routes can be aggregated • Based on CIDR (classless) addressing • Routes can be filtered • Runs over TCP • Most of the same messages as EGP • Open, Update, Notify, Keepalive • BGP session have only recently been made secure CS 640

  15. BGP in practice • 10-20 “tier 1” ASs which are the Internet backbone • Clearly convergence is an issue – why? • Black holes are always a potential problem • There are lots of BGP updates every day! • BGP is really the heart of the Internet • BGP is a means by which network operators control congestion in the Internet. • BGP is really a big problem! CS 640

  16. Quiz #2 • Consider a network that is running a link-state routing protocol. Suppose node A initially knows that it is directly connected to nodes B, C and D over unidirectional links of cost 2, 5, and 10 respectively. It then receives link-state packets from the other nodes in the network with the following information: • · B is directly connected to A, C, and D with link costs of 2, 3 and 7 respectively. • · C is directly connected with A, B, D, and E with link costs of 5, 3, 6 and 1 respectively. • · D is directly connected to A, B, C, and E with link costs of 10, 7, 6 and 3 respectively. • · E is directly connected to C, D and F with link costs of 1, 3, and 4 respectively. • · F is connected to E with link cost of 4. • 1) Draw the graph of the network consistent with this information. • 2) Compute the routing table that A would build with this information. For each destination (B – F) specify the path and distance. Show each step in the process. • 3) Why would one want to use a link state instead of a distance vector protocol?
