  1. Internetworking 2 Datagram Encapsulation Transmission Fragmentation and Reassembly EECB 423 V.1

  2. The Internet Transmission • Source host • Forms datagram • Includes destination address • Sends to nearest router • Intermediate routers • Forward datagram to next router • Final router • Delivers to destination host EECB 423 V.1

  3. Datagram Transmission • Datagram sent across conventional network • From source host and router • Between intermediate routers • From final router to destination host • Network hardware does not recognize • Datagram format • IP addresses • Encapsulation needed EECB 423 V.1

  4. Illustration of IP Encapsulation • Entire datagram treated like data • Frame type identifies contents as IP datagram • Frame destination address gives next hop EECB 423 V.1

  5. Frame and Datagram Destination Address • Frame address • Hardware (MAC) address • Next hop • Datagram address • IP address • Ultimate destination EECB 423 V.1

  6. Frame Address For Encapsulated Datagram • A datagram is encapsulated in a frame for transmission across a physical network. • The destination address in the frame is the address of the next hop to which the datagram should be sent; the address is obtained by translating the IP address of the next hop to an equivalent hardware address. EECB 423 V.1

  7. Frames versus Datagrams • Datagram survives entire trip across Internet • Frame only survives one hop EECB 423 V.1

  8. Illustration Of Frame HeadersUsed For Datagram Transmission • Each hop extracts datagram and discards frame EECB 423 V.1

  9. Maximum Frame Size • Each network technology imposes maximum frame size • Called Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) • MTUs differ • Internet • Can contain heterogeneous technologies • Must accommodate multiple MTUs EECB 423 V.1

  10. Illustration Of How Two MTUsCause A Problem For IP • Host 1 • Creates datagram for Host 2 • Chooses datagram size of 1500 octets • Transmits datagram across network 1 • Router R • Receives datagram over network 1 • Must send datagram over network 2 • Employs fragmentation EECB 423 V.1

  11. Datagram Fragmentation • Performed by routers • Needed when datagram larger than MTU of network • Divides datagram into pieces called fragments • Each fragment has datagram header • Fragments sent separately • Ultimate destination reassembles fragments EECB 423 V.1

  12. Illustration Of Datagram Fragmentation • Each fragment has IP datagram header • Header fields • Identify original datagram • Indicate where fragment fits EECB 423 V.1

  13. Example Of Reassembly • Host H1 generates 1500-octet datagram • Router R1 fragments • Router R2 transmits fragments • Host H2 reassembles EECB 423 V.1

  14. Fragmenting A Fragment • Needed when fragment too large for network MTU • Arbitrary subfragmentation possible • Router divides fragments into smaller pieces • All fragments at same ‘‘level’’ • Offset given with respect to original datagram • Destination cannot distinguish subfragments EECB 423 V.1

  15. Fragment Loss • Receiver • Collects incoming fragments • Reassembles when all fragments arrive • Does not know identity of router that did fragmentation • Cannot request missing pieces • Consequence: Loss of one fragment means entire datagram lost EECB 423 V.1

  16. Summary • Internet transmission paradigm • Source host • Zero or more routers • Destination host • Datagram encapsulated in network frame for transmission • Network hardware has maximum payload size • Called MTU • Datagram must be smaller than hardware MTU EECB 423 V.1

  17. Summary • Datagram fragmentation • Accommodates multiple MTUs • Performed by router • Divides datagram into pieces • Ultimate destination reassembles • Fragments can be fragmented • Multiple levels possible • All offsets at one level • Loss of any fragment means loss of entire datagram EECB 423 V.1
