Emulated LANs With a few VLAN concepts added for spice
Problems • Emulating a broadcast media LAN on a point-to-point WAN • ARP? • Multicast • High Bandwidth Requirements
Layers Higher-layer Higher-layer protocols protocols (IP, ARP, . . .) (IP, ARP, . . .) Ethernet-like interface Signalling Signalling + LANE + LANE AAL5 AAL5 ATM ATM ATM PHY PHY PHY PHY Host Switch Host
Setup • Lan Emulation Client (LEC) contacts the Lan Emulation Configuration Server (LECS) to find out the ATM addresses of the Lan Emulation Server (LES) and Broadcast and Unknown Server (BUS) for the emulated LAN • The LEC then registers with the LES and BUS • The LES and BUS create virtual circuits to the LEC
Forwarding • H1 LANE layer receives a packet for H2 • Since H2 is not in our cache, we send query to LES for H2 ATM address • Since the query and VC setup may take seconds, we start sending data through the BUS • We may wait until we receive several packets before setting up a separate virtual circuit • The LES replies with the ATM address of H2 • H1 sets up a direct VC to H2 and adds an entry in the cache for H2
Other issues • You can set up many ELANs with a separate LES and BUS for each ELAN • A single ATM entity can be part of more than one ELAN
Multiple ELANs Broadcast Domain 1 Broadcast Domain 2 H1 H2 H3 H2 cannot see H3
What About VLANs? • VLANs create virtual broadcast domains out of whatever physical networks that are available • Most Ethernet switches will allow for VLANs to be created from a subset of the ports on the switch. • Machines that are not in this subset can not access the VLAN machines • The VLAN can extend across the internet

IEEE 802 Model • Physical (PHY) • Medium access control (MAC) • Logical Link Control (LLC) • Higher level services (HLS)
802.1 MAC Bridge Design Space • MAC Layer defines interface to a Port • Relay/Forwarding defines behavior of received packet as sent to other ports • Broadcast behavior • Unicast behavior • Multicast behavior • Trunking behavior
