  4. transport segment from sending to receiving host on sending side encapsulates segments into datagrams on rcving side, delivers segments to transport layer network layer protocols in every host, router Router examines header fields in all IP datagrams passing through it network data link physical network data link physical network data link physical network data link physical network data link physical network data link physical network data link physical network data link physical application transport network data link physical application transport network data link physical Network layer Network Layer

  5. Key Network-Layer Functions • forwarding: move packets from router’s input to appropriate router output • routing: determine route taken by packets from source to dest. • Routing algorithms analogy: • routing: process of planning trip from source to dest • forwarding: process of getting through single interchange Network Layer

  7. Connection setup • 3rd important function in some network architectures: • ATM, frame relay, X.25 • Before datagrams flow, two hosts and intervening routers establish virtual connection • Routers get involved • Network and transport layer cnctn service: • Network: between two hosts • Transport: between two processes Network Layer

  8. Example services for individual datagrams: guaranteed delivery Guaranteed delivery with less than 40 msec delay Example services for a flow of datagrams: In-order datagram delivery Guaranteed minimum bandwidth to flow Restrictions on changes in inter-packet spacing (jitter) Network service model Q: What service model for “channel” transporting datagrams from sender to rcvr?

  11. Network layer connection and connection-less service • Datagram network provides network-layer connectionless service • VC network provides network-layer connection service • Analogous to the transport-layer services, but: • Service: host-to-host • No choice: network provides one or the other • Implementation: in the core Network Layer

  12. call setup, teardown for each call before data can flow each packet carries VC identifier (not destination host address) every router on source-dest path maintains “state” for each passing connection link, router resources (bandwidth, buffers) may be allocated to VC “source-to-dest path behaves much like telephone circuit” performance-wise network actions along source-to-dest path Virtual circuits Network Layer

  13. VC implementation A VC consists of: • Path from source to destination • VC numbers, one number for each link along path • Entries in forwarding tables in routers along path • Packet belonging to VC carries a VC number. • VC number must be changed on each link. • New VC number comes from forwarding table Network Layer

  14. VC number 22 32 12 3 1 2 interface number Incoming interface Incoming VC # Outgoing interface Outgoing VC # 1 12 2 22 2 63 1 18 3 7 2 17 1 97 3 87 … … … … Forwarding table Forwarding table in northwest router: Routers maintain connection state information! Network Layer

  20. 4. 1 Introduction 4.2 Virtual circuit and datagram networks 4.3 What’s inside a router 4.4 IP: Internet Protocol Datagram format IPv4 addressing ICMP IPv6 4.5 Routing algorithms Link state Distance Vector Hierarchical routing 4.6 Routing in the Internet RIP OSPF BGP 4.7 Broadcast and multicast routing Chapter 4: Network Layer Network Layer

  21. Router Architecture Overview Two key router functions: • run routing algorithms/protocol (RIP, OSPF, BGP) • forwarding datagrams from incoming to outgoing link Network Layer

  22. Input Port Functions Decentralized switching: • given datagram dest., lookup output port using forwarding table in input port memory • goal: complete input port processing at ‘line speed’ • queuing: if datagrams arrive faster than forwarding rate into switch fabric Physical layer: bit-level reception Data link layer: e.g., Ethernet see chapter 5 Network Layer

  23. Three types of switching fabrics Network Layer

  24. Memory Input Port Output Port System Bus Switching Via Memory First generation routers: • traditional computers with switching under direct control of CPU • packet copied to system’s memory • speed limited by memory bandwidth (2 bus crossings per datagram) Network Layer

  25. Switching Via a Bus • datagram from input port memory to output port memory via a shared bus • bus contention: switching speed limited by bus bandwidth • 1 Gbps bus, Cisco 1900: sufficient speed for access and enterprise routers (not regional or backbone) Network Layer

  26. Switching Via An Interconnection Network • overcome bus bandwidth limitations • Banyan networks, other interconnection nets initially developed to connect processors in multiprocessor • Advanced design: fragmenting datagram into fixed length cells, switch cells through the fabric. • Cisco 12000: switches Gbps through the interconnection network Network Layer

  27. Output Ports • Buffering required when datagrams arrive from fabric faster than the transmission rate • Scheduling discipline chooses among queued datagrams for transmission Network Layer

  28. Output port queueing • buffering when arrival rate via switch exceeds output line speed • queueing (delay) and loss due to output port buffer overflow! Network Layer

  29. Input Port Queuing • Fabric slower than input ports combined -> queueing may occur at input queues • Head-of-the-Line (HOL) blocking: queued datagram at front of queue prevents others in queue from moving forward • queueing delay and loss due to input buffer overflow! Network Layer

Host, router network layer functions: • ICMP protocol • error reporting • router “signaling” • IP protocol • addressing conventions • datagram format • packet handling conventions • Routing protocols • path selection • RIP, OSPF, BGP forwarding table The Internet Network layer Transport layer: TCP, UDP Network layer Link layer physical layer Network Layer

  33. IP protocol version number 32 bits total datagram length (bytes) header length (bytes) type of service head. len ver length for fragmentation/ reassembly fragment offset “type” of data flgs 16-bit identifier max number remaining hops (decremented at each router) upper layer time to live Internet checksum 32 bit source IP address 32 bit destination IP address upper layer protocol to deliver payload to E.g. timestamp, record route taken, specify list of routers to visit. Options (if any) data (variable length, typically a TCP or UDP segment) IP datagram format how much overhead with TCP? • 20 bytes of TCP • 20 bytes of IP • = 40 bytes + app layer overhead Network Layer

  34. network links have MTU (max.transfer size) - largest possible link-level frame. different link types, different MTUs large IP datagram divided (“fragmented”) within net one datagram becomes several datagrams “reassembled” only at final destination IP header bits used to identify, order related fragments IP Fragmentation & Reassembly fragmentation: in: one large datagram out: 3 smaller datagrams reassembly Network Layer

  35. length =1500 length =1040 length =1500 length =4000 ID =x ID =x ID =x ID =x fragflag =0 fragflag =0 fragflag =1 fragflag =1 offset =0 offset =185 offset =0 offset =370 One large datagram becomes several smaller datagrams IP Fragmentation and Reassembly Example • 4000 byte datagram • MTU = 1500 bytes 1480 bytes in data field offset = 1480/8 Network Layer

  37. IP address: 32-bit identifier for host, router interface interface: connection between host/router and physical link router’s typically have multiple interfaces host may have multiple interfaces IP addresses associated with each interface 223.1.1.2 223.1.2.2 223.1.2.1 223.1.3.2 223.1.3.1 223.1.3.27 IP Addressing: introduction 223.1.1.1 223.1.2.9 223.1.1.4 223.1.1.3 223.1.1.1 = 11011111 00000001 00000001 00000001 223 1 1 1 Network Layer

  38. IP address: subnet part (high order bits) host part (low order bits) What’s a subnet ? device interfaces with same subnet part of IP address can physically reach each other without intervening router Subnets 223.1.1.1 223.1.2.1 223.1.1.2 223.1.2.9 223.1.1.4 223.1.2.2 223.1.1.3 223.1.3.27 LAN 223.1.3.2 223.1.3.1 network consisting of 3 subnets Network Layer

  39. Recipe To determine the subnets, detach each interface from its host or router, creating islands of isolated networks. Each isolated network is called a subnet. 223.1.1.0/24 223.1.2.0/24 223.1.3.0/24 Subnets Subnet mask: /24 Network Layer

  40. How many? Subnets 223.1.1.2 223.1.1.1 223.1.1.4 223.1.1.3 223.1.7.0 223.1.9.2 223.1.9.1 223.1.7.1 223.1.8.1 223.1.8.0 223.1.2.6 223.1.3.27 223.1.2.1 223.1.2.2 223.1.3.1 223.1.3.2 Network Layer

  42. IP addresses: how to get one? Q: How does host get IP address? • hard-coded by system admin in a file • Wintel: control-panel->network->configuration->tcp/ip->properties • UNIX: /etc/rc.config • DHCP:Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol: dynamically get address from as server • “plug-and-play” (more in next chapter) Network Layer

  43. IP addresses: how to get one? Q: How does network get subnet part of IP addr? A: gets allocated portion of its provider ISP’s address space ISP's block 11001000 00010111 00010000 00000000 200.23.16.0/20 Organization 0 11001000 00010111 00010000 00000000 200.23.16.0/23 Organization 1 11001000 00010111 00010010 00000000 200.23.18.0/23 Organization 2 11001000 00010111 00010100 00000000 200.23.20.0/23 ... ….. …. ….

  46. IP addressing: the last word... Q: How does an ISP get block of addresses? A: ICANN: Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers • allocates addresses • manages DNS • assigns domain names, resolves disputes Network Layer

  47. NAT: Network Address Translation rest of Internet local network (e.g., home network) 10.0.0/24 10.0.0.1 10.0.0.4 10.0.0.2 138.76.29.7 10.0.0.3 Datagrams with source or destination in this network have 10.0.0/24 address for source, destination (as usual) All datagrams leaving local network have same single source NAT IP address: 138.76.29.7, different source port numbers Network Layer

  48. NAT: Network Address Translation • Motivation: local network uses just one IP address as far as outside word is concerned: • no need to be allocated range of addresses from ISP: - just one IP address is used for all devices • can change addresses of devices in local network without notifying outside world • can change ISP without changing addresses of devices in local network • devices inside local net not explicitly addressable, visible by outside world (a security plus). Network Layer

  49. NAT: Network Address Translation Implementation: NAT router must: • outgoing datagrams:replace (source IP address, port #) of every outgoing datagram to (NAT IP address, new port #) . . . remote clients/servers will respond using (NAT IP address, new port #) as destination addr. • remember (in NAT translation table) every (source IP address, port #) to (NAT IP address, new port #) translation pair • incoming datagrams:replace (NAT IP address, new port #) in dest fields of every incoming datagram with corresponding (source IP address, port #) stored in NAT table Network Layer
