  4. Routing/ForwardingBasics

  5. IP routing • Each router or host makes its own routing decisions • Sending machine does not have to determine the entire path to the destination • Sending machine just determines the next-hop along the path. • This process is repeated until the destination is reached • Forwarding table consulted to determine the next-hop

  6. IP routing • Classless routing • route entries include • destination • next-hop • mask (prefix-length) indicating size of address space described by the entry • Longest match • for a given destination, find longest prefix match in the routing table • example: destination is 35.35.66.42 • routing table entries are 35.0.0.0/8, 35.35.64.0/19 and 0.0.0.0/0

  7. IP routing • Default route • where to send packets if don’t have an entry for the destination in the routing table • most machines have a single default route • often referred to as a default gateway

  8. Packet: Destination IP address: 10.1.1.1 R1 10/8 -> R3 10.1/16 -> R4 20/8 -> R5 30/8 -> R6 ….. R2’s IP routing table IP route lookup:Longest match routing R3 All 10/8 except 10.1/16 R4 R2 10.1/16

  9. Packet: Destination IP address: 10.1.1.1 R1 10/8 -> R3 10.1/16 -> R4 20/8 -> R5 ….. R2’s IP routing table IP route lookup: Longest match routing R3 All 10/8 except 10.1/16 R4 R2 10.1/16 10.1.1.1 & FF.0.0.0 is equal to 10.0.0.0 & FF.0.0.0 Match!

  10. Packet: Destination IP address: 10.1.1.1 R1 10/8 -> R3 10.1/16 -> R4 20/8 -> R5 ….. R2’s IP routing table IP route lookup: Longest match routing R3 All 10/8 except 10.1/16 R4 R2 10.1/16 10.1.1.1 & FF.FF.0.0 is equal to 10.1.0.0 & FF.FF.0.0 Match as well!

  11. Packet: Destination IP address: 10.1.1.1 R1 10/8 -> R3 10.1/16 -> R4 20/8 -> R5 ….. R2’s IP routing table IP route lookup: Longest match routing R3 All 10/8 except 10.1/16 R4 R2 10.1/16 10.1.1.1 & FF.0.0.0 is equal to 20.0.0.0 & FF.0.0.0 Does not match!

  12. R1 10/8 -> R3 10.1/16 -> R4 20/8 -> R5 ….. R2’s IP routing table IP route lookup: Longest match routing R3 All 10/8 except 10.1/16 Packet: Destination IP address: 10.1.1.1 R4 R2 10.1/16 Longest match, 16 bit netmask

  13. IP route lookup: Longest match routing • More specific/longest match always wins!! • Default route is 0.0.0.0/0 • Can handle it using the normal longest match algorithm • Matches everything. Always the shortest match.

  14. Dynamic Routing • routers compute routing tables dynamically based on information provided by other routers in the network • routers communicate topology to each other via different protocols • routers then compute one or more next hops for each destination - trying to calculate the most optimal path

  15. Forwarding Table/FIB • Forwarding table determines how packets are sent through the router • Made from routing table built by routing protocols • Best routes from routing tables are installed • Performs the lookup to find next-hop and outgoing interface • Switches the packet with new encapsulation as per the outgoing interface

  16. Building Blocks

  17. Building Blocks • Autonomous System (AS) • Types of Routes • IGP/EGP • DMZ • Policy • Egress • Ingress

  18. Autonomous System (AS) • Collection of networks with same policy • Single routing protocol • Usually under single administrative control • IGP to provide internal connectivity AS 100

  19. Autonomous System(AS)... • Identified by ‘AS number’ • Public & Private AS numbers • Examples: • Service provider • Multi-homed customers • Anyone needing policy discrimination

  20. Routing flow and packet flow packet flow egress announce accept AS2 AS 1 Routingflow announce accept ingress For networks in AS1 and AS2 to communicate: AS1 must announce routes to AS2 AS2 must accept routes from AS1 AS2 must announce routes to AS1 AS1 must accept routes from AS2 packet flow

  21. Egress Traffic • Packets exiting the network • Based on • Route availability (what others send you) • Route acceptance (what you accept from others) • Policy and tuning (what you do with routes from others) • Peering and transit agreements

  22. Ingress Traffic • Packets entering your network • Ingress traffic depends on: • What information you send and to who • Based on your addressing and ASes • Based on others’ policy (what they accept from you and what they do with it)

  23. Types of Routes • Static Routes • configured manually • Connected Routes • created automatically when an interface is ‘up’ • Interior Routes • Routes within an AS • learned via IGP • Exterior Routes • Routes exterior to AS • learned via EGP

  24. What is Policy? • Use your policy to control how you accept and send routing updates to neighbors • prefer cheaper connections, load-sharing, etc. • Accepting routes from some ISPs and not others • Sending some routes to some ISPs and not others • Preferring routes from some ISPs over others

  25. Why Do We Need an EGP? • Scaling to large network • Hierarchy • Limit scope of failure • Define administrative boundary • Policy • Control reachability to prefixes

  26. Interior (IGP) Automatic discovery Generally trust your IGP routers Routes go to all IGP routers Exterior (EGP) Specifically configured peers Connecting with outside networks Set administrative boundaries Interior vs. Exterior Routing Protocols

  27. Other ISP’s BGP4 / OSPF BGP4 BGP4/Static Local NAP FDDI Customers Hierarchy of Routing Protocols BGP4

  28. Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) • Shared network between ASes A C DMZ Network AS 100 AS 101 B D E AS 102

  29. Addressing - ISP • Need to reserve address space for its network. • Need to allocate address blocks to its customers. • Need to take “growth” into consideration • Upstream link address is allocated by upstream provider

  30. BGP Basics • Protocol Basics • Terminology • Messages • General Operation • Peering relationships (EBGP/IBGP) • Originating routes

  31. Protocol Basics Peering • Routing protocol used between ASes • if you aren’t connected to multiple ASes, you don’t need BGP :) • Runs over TCP A C AS 100 AS 101 B D E AS 102

  32. Protocol Basics • Incremental updates • Path Vector protocol • keeps track of the AS path of routing information • Many options for policy enforcement

  33. Terminology • Neighbor • Configured BGP peer • NLRI/Prefix • NLRI - network layer reachability information • Reachability information for a IP address & mask • Router-ID • Highest IP address configured on the router • Route/Path • NLRI advertised by a neighbor

  34. Terminology • Transit - carrying network traffic across a network, usually for a fee • Peering - exchanging routing information and traffic • your customers and your peers customers network information only • Default - where to send traffic when there is no explicit route in the routing table

  35. BGP Basics ... • Each AS originates a set of NLRI • NLRI is exchanged between BGP peers • Can have multiple paths for a given prefix • Picks the best path and installs in the IP forwarding table • Policies applied (through attributes) influences BGP path selection

  46. A BGP update is used to advertise a single feasible route to a peer, or to withdraw multiple unfeasible routes Each update message contains attributes, like origin, AS-Path, Next-Hop, ……. BGP Update Messages The BGP UPDATE Message Length (I Octet) Prefix (Variable) Unfeasible Routes Length (2 Octets) Withdrawn Routes (Variable) Attribute Type Total path Attribute Length (2 Octets) Attribute Length Path Attributes (Variable) Attribute Value Network Layer Reachability Information (Variable) Length (I Octet) Prefix (Variable)

  47. BGP Updates — NLRI • Network Layer Reachability Information • Used to advertise feasible routes • Composed of: • Network Prefix • Mask Length

  48. BGP Updates — Attributes • Used to convey information associated with NLRI • AS path • Next hop • Local preference • Multi-Exit Discriminator (MED) • Community • Origin • Aggregator
