  1. Lecture #17: Internet Network Layer C o n t e n t s • Internet Network layer • IPv4 datagram format • IPv4 addressing • Subnetting • Internet control protocols, ICMP • ARP, RARP & BOOTP, DHCP • IPv6

  2. Internet Network Layer Network layer functions • Connection control: establishment, maintaining and terminating network connections between source and destination open systems • Routing: considerations associated with hop-by-hop services transparent to the underlying resources such as data link connections . • Addressing: globally unique identification of a service access point of an end system (transparent to subnet technology (routers/LANs…) and topology (# of hops) including naming Internet architecture • Ineternetwork of autonomous systems (AS) • backbones: high-bandwidth connections and fast routers • regional networks (midlevel) • LANs and ISP systems • internet protocol (IP) - transparent datagram exchange from-end-to-end 1/18 5/44 17/1

  3. IPv4 - datagram format • IP Datagram 32 bits wide (4 Bytes) • IP Header (20 Bytes) • Version (currently #4) • Internet Header Length (min value is 5, max FFh) • Type of Service (QoS) • Precedence (3b) [0..7] • Delay • Throughput • Reliability • Total Length datagram (bytes) - • maximum is 65,535 bytes • may be fragmented before transmission • Identificationof the datagram at the destination. All fragments of a datagram have identical ID field. 5/45

  4. IP datagram format • IP Header (cont.) • Fragmentation • Occurs often - all machine are required to receive fragments of 567 bytes or less • Identifier - Used by the receiver to identifies which datagram this fragment belongs to • Flags: Don’t Frag, More Frag flags • Fragment Offset: • Indicates where in the datagram this fragment belongs • Datagrams are segmented into increments/frags of 64 bits • 13 bits for offset value yields a maximum of 8192 fragments per datagram • Time to live: <32 or 64 hops, <255 sec • Protocol: Indicates the next level of protocol • TCP, UDP, ICMP 5/45

  5. IP datagram format • IP Header (cont.) • Header CRC • Only over the header; recalculated at each hop • Not actually a CRC • Source Address • Destination Address • 232 possible (= 4 294 967 296) • Options, Padding, Data • Options Examples • Security - allows a security label • Source Routing - path description • Route Recording • Stream ID - names reserved resources used for stream service- buffers • Time Stamping 5/46

  6. IPv4 Addressing 5/47 • Classes • A: 128 Networks, 16M Hosts - • B: 16.3K Networks 64K Hosts - University, large Organization • C: 4.2 M 256 Hosts • Numbers are assigned by the Network Information Center (NIC) • Dotted decimal notation • e.g., 130.50.4.2 • each number represents the decimal equivalent of 8 bits 17/2

  7. IP Addressing • Special IP Addresses • All zeros: this host • All zeros network address: this (local) network • All ones: broadcast on this network • Subnet Addressing (Subnet Masks) • In the above example, subnet address (6 bits) can formed from a (16 bit) host address, leaving 10 bits for host addresses • Results: 62 Subnets with 1022 hosts each 5/49

  8. Subnets 5/49 • “Subnets”: equal address-space fractions of an internet network • the host address field is split in two parts - • hosts (themselves) and • subnet field • example: a B-class network [128.0 .. 191.255].XXX.XXX has 16b host-address field (i.e. total of 64K hosts’ space) that can be split as follows: • … (less realistic) • 4:12 (s/h)  14 subnets of (4K-2=4094) hosts each • 5:11 (s/h)  30 subnets of (2K-2=2046) hosts each • 6:10 (s/h)  62 subnets of (1K-2=1022) hosts each • 7:9 (s/h)  126 subnets of 510 hosts each • 8:8 (s/h)  254 subnets of 254 hosts each (254 C-class networks!) • 9:7 (s/h)  510 subnets of 126 hosts each • … (less realistic) • routing effects: • shorter routing tables (i.e. more flexibility, easier corrections) • more routers in a IP network • the subnet is derived from the IP address by AND mask

  9. Internet Control Protocols • ICMP(Internet Control Message Protocol) • ARP(Address Resolution Protocol) • Allows a Host or Router to determine a hardware address (MAC-level specified) for a given IP address • RTs of MAC-IP address are maintained by all Host - Router • time sensitive - periodically purged • RARP(Reserve Address Resolution Protocol) • Devices may not know their IP address: MAC - IP conversation • Usually provided by a server • Autoconfiguration: Host provide temporary IP addresses - dynamically (RARP - locally, BOOTP - globally)

  10. ICMP ICMP is the primary supervisory protocol in TCP/IP • Lets the Host and Routers know of the status of the network around them - problems with routers, congestion • Network Status information provided to Hosts/Routers via • Error messages • Queries from hosts (e.g., ping) • Flow Control information (source squelch is implemented this way) • Routing (redirecting paths) • Message Types • Destination Unreachable - informs host that destination is either physically or logically unreachable. • Time Exceeded, Parameter - datagram lifetime expires (reassemble deadlock) • Parameter Problem (rcvd an incorrect argument for a parameter), syntax or semantics • Redirect, Echo/reply - Test for different route • Source Squelch - sent by either destination Host (flow control) or Router (Congestion Control) • Timestamp request/reply - Test for delay characteristics • Information request/reply • Address Mask - To address subnet more directly • ICMP uses IP datagrams modified with a 64-bit header 5/50 17/3

  11. ARP • ARP= Address Resolution Protocol • Maps IP addresses to MAC-specified addresses (e.g. Ethernet 6 byte address) • RTs of MAC-IP address are maintained by all Host - Router • better and more flexible than static configuration map • time sensitive - periodically purged • cashing the map information avoids frequent repetition of the broadcasting • host initiated broadcasting on boot up (- avoiding duplication of IP addresses) • ARP/RARP has its own protocol frame structure 5/51

  12. RARP & BOOTP • RARP= Reverse Address Resolution Protocol • Maps MAC-specified addresses to IP addresses e.g. by booting diskless station • RARP server keeps configuration table of mapping • RARP server is needed for each network because it is reachable only by broadcast IP address (of all ones) • BOOTP (bootstrap protocol) provides same functionality by UDP (datagram) messages that travel over routers. Beside the local IP address it provides • IP address of the booting station • IP address of the default router • the subnet mask

  13. Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol Operation of DHCP.

  14. The new IP version 6 (IPv6) • Motivation: • The threat of exhausting of the 32-bit IPv4 addess space. (Original estimates for when the world would run out of IPv4 numbers varied from 2000 to 2008.) • Fixing issues and problems in the existing IPv4 implementation • Optimizing the network layer operation • Introducing new network services

  15. IPv6 history • 1995 - Experimental deployment • December, 1995 - specifications of the basic protocols, RFC 1883 • 1996 - more specifications • 1998 - RFC 2460 obsoletes RFC 1883. • 2000- Production quality support in all major OS and routers. • 26.10.2007- The RIPE community issued a ‘Resolution on IPv4 Depletion and Deployment of IPv6’

  16. IPv6 Support Requirements • Routers must support IPv6 • Switches do not require upgrades to support IPv6 Unicast but will require upgrades to support IPv6 Multicast (MLDv2 snooping). • DNS management software must support IPv6.

  17. IPv6 details • IPv6 was designed to work together with IPv4 (“Dual Stack”, “Dual Stack Strategy”) • During the transition period most hosts will have both an IPv4 and an IPv6 number. • The transition period is expected to last many years (The wide use of NAT will slow down this proccess).

  18. IPv6 technical • A 128 bit address space (about 3.4×1038 unique addresses comparing to 4.3×109 in IPv4 !!!) • The addresses are divided into 4 categories: • Unicast (corresponds to exactly one interface) • Multicast (group address) • Anycast (corresponds to more than one interface) • Special addresses • Examples (IPv6 uses CIDR notation): 2001:4b58:acad::107/64(a global unicast addr.) fe80::208:a1ff:fe7d:57df/64(a link-local or autoconfiguration addr.) ::1/128(the loopback address)

  19. IPv6 technical (2) • Stateless autoconfiguration of hosts • Multicast - part of the base specifications in IPv6, unlike IPv4, where it was introduced later. • Link-local addresses • Jumbograms – datagrams over the 64 KB IPv4 limit. • Network-layer security - IPsec is an integral part of the base protocol suite in IPv6. • Mobility support • Lack of a checksum - It is believed that errors are very rare in today's network. For this reason, IPv6 has no error checking in its protocol but instead relies on link layer protocols to perform error checking.

  21. IPv6 - Transition mechanisms • Dual stack • Tunneling - Automatic or Configured • Proxying and translation

  22. Barriers to implementing IPv6 • The support in the wide used PC Operating systems • All three major OS (Linux, Mac OS X, MS Windows) have full support for IPv6 now. • The support in the wide used routers • The major router vendors support IPv6 • IPv6 has been implemented more widely in Europe and Asia than in the USA. Some statistics next ...
