5. 0 4 8 16 19 31 TOS Length V ersion HLen Ident Flags Offset TTL Protocol Checksum SourceAddr DestinationAddr Pad Options (variable) (variable) Data Service Model • Connectionless (datagram-based) • Best-effort delivery (unreliable service) • packets are lost • packets are delivered out of order • duplicate copies of a packet are delivered • packets can be delayed for a long time • Datagram format

6. Fragmentation and Reassembly • Each network has some MTU • Strategy • fragment when necessary (MTU < Datagram) • try to avoid fragmentation at source host • re-fragmentation is possible • fragments are self-contained datagrams • use CS-PDU (not cells) for ATM • delay reassembly until destination host • do not recover from lost fragments

9. Datagram Forwarding • Strategy • every datagram contains destination’s address • if directly connected to destination network, then forward to host • if not directly connected to destination network, then forward to some router • forwarding table maps network number into next hop • each host has a default router • each router maintains a forwarding table • Example (R2) Network Number Next Hop 1 R3 2 R1 3 interface 1 4 interface 0

10. Address Translation • Map IP addresses into physical addresses • destination host • next hop router • Techniques • encode physical address in host part of IP address • table-based • ARP • table of IP to physical address bindings • broadcast request if IP address not in table • target machine responds with its physical address • table entries are discarded if not refreshed

11. ARP Details • Request Format • HardwareType: type of physical network (e.g., Ethernet) • ProtocolType: type of higher layer protocol (e.g., IP) • HLEN & PLEN: length of physical and protocol addresses • Operation: request or response • Source/Target-Physical/Protocol addresses • Notes • table entries timeout in about 10 minutes • update table with source when you are the target • update table if already have an entry • do not refresh table entries upon reference

13. ATM ARP • ATM ARP for mapping IP<->ATM addr • medium is not a broadcast type unlike Ethernet • requires servers which maintain ARP tables • concept of multiple “logical IP subnets” (LIS)

14. Dynamic Host Control Protocol (DHCP) • DHCP server per network for IP address assignment • Static list of IP<->physical addr or dynamic binding from common pool • Host boot-up via well-known address 255.255.255.255 • DHCP “relay agent” can be used to avoid one server per network

15. Dynamic Host Control Protocol (DHCP) • DHCP packet format (runs over UDP) Operation HType HLen Hops Xid Flag Secs ciaddr yiaddr siaddr giaddr chaddr (16B) ....

16. Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) • Echo (ping) • Redirect (from router to source host) • Destination unreachable (protocol, port, or host) • TTL exceeded (so datagrams don’t cycle forever) • Checksum failed • Reassembly failed • Cannot fragment

17. Routing Basics

18. Routing Problem • Network as a Graph Problem: Find lowest cost path between two nodes • Factors • static: topology • dynamic: load

19. Two main approaches • DV: Distance-vector protocols • LS: Link state protocols • Variations of above methods applied to: • Intra-domain routing (small/med networks) • RIP, OSPF • Inter-domain routing (large/global networks) • BGP-4

20. Distance Vector Protocols • Employed in the early Arpanet • Distributed next hop computation • adaptive • Unit of information exchange • vector of distances to destinations • Distributed Bellman-Ford Algorithm

21. Distance Vector • Each node maintains a set of triples • (Destination, Cost, NextHop) • Exchange updates directly connected neighbors • periodically (on the order of several seconds) • whenever table changes (called triggered update) • Each update is a list of pairs: • (Destination, Cost) • Update local table if receive a “better” route • smaller cost • came from next-hop • Refresh existing routes; delete if they time out

22. Distributed Bellman-Ford Start Conditions: Each router starts with a vector of (zero) distances to all directly attached networks Send step: Each router advertises its current vector to all neighboring routers. Receive step: Upon receiving vectors from each of its neighbors, router computes its own distance to each neighbor. Then, for every network X, router finds that neighbor who is closer to X than to any other neighbor. Router updates its cost to X. After doing this for all X, router goes to send step.

42. B sends routes to C dest cost dest cost A 3 A B B 1 C 1 C 2 1 25 C dest cost A 4 B 1

43. C sends routes to B dest cost dest cost A 5 A B B 1 C 1 C 2 1 25 C dest cost A 4 B 1

44. How are these loops caused? • Observation 1: • B’s metric increases • Observation 2: • C picks B as next hop to A • But, the implicit path from C to A includes itself!

45. Avoiding the Bouncing Effect • Select loop-free paths • One way of doing this: • each route advertisement carries entire path • if a router sees itself in path, it rejects the route • BGP does it this way • Space proportional to diameter Cheng, Riley et al

46. Computing Implicit Paths • To reduce the space requirements • propagate for each destination not only the cost but also its predecessor • can recursively compute the path • space requirements independent of diameter v x z y w u

47. Distance Vector in Practice • RIP and RIP2 • uses split-horizon/poison reverse • BGP/IDRP • propagates entire path • path also used for effecting policies

49. Link State Routing • Each node assumed to know state of links to its neighbors • Step 1: Each node broadcasts its state to all other nodes • Step 2: Each node locally computes shortest paths to all other nodes from global state

50. Link State Routing: Building blocks • Reliable broadcast mechanism • flooding • sequence number issues • Shortest path tree (SPT) algorithm • Dijkstra’s SPT algorithm
