7. IP address: 32-bit identifier for host, router interface interface: connection between host/router and physical link router’s typically have multiple interfaces host typically has one or two interfaces (e.g., wired Ethernet, wireless 802.11) IP addresses associated with each interface 223.1.1.2 223.1.3.27 IP addressing: introduction 223.1.1.1 223.1.2.1 223.1.1.4 223.1.2.9 223.1.1.3 223.1.2.2 223.1.3.2 223.1.3.1 223.1.1.1 = 11011111 00000001 00000001 00000001 223 1 1 1 Network Layer

8. 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 subnet Subnets 223.1.1.1 223.1.2.1 223.1.1.2 223.1.1.4 223.1.2.9 223.1.2.2 223.1.3.27 223.1.1.3 223.1.3.2 223.1.3.1 network consisting of 3 subnets Network Layer

9. 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 223.1.1.0/24 223.1.2.0/24 223.1.1.1 223.1.2.1 223.1.1.2 223.1.1.4 223.1.2.9 223.1.2.2 223.1.3.27 223.1.1.3 223.1.3.2 223.1.3.1 223.1.3.0/24 subnet Subnets subnet mask: /24 Network Layer

14. Dijkstra’s algorithm net topology, link costs known to all nodes accomplished via “link state broadcast” all nodes have same info computes least cost paths from one node (‘source”) to all other nodes gives forwarding table for that node iterative: after k iterations, know least cost path to k dest.’s notation: c(x,y): link cost from node x to y; = ∞ if not direct neighbors D(v): current value of cost of path from source to dest. v p(v): predecessor node along path from source to v N': set of nodes whose least cost path definitively known A Link-State Routing Algorithm Network Layer

Dijsktra’s Algorithm 1 Initialization: 2 N' = {u} 3 for all nodes v 4 if v adjacent to u 5 then D(v) = c(u,v) 6 else D(v) = ∞ 7 8 Loop 9 find w not in N' such that D(w) is a minimum 10 add w to N' 11 update D(v) for all v adjacent to w and not in N' : 12 D(v) = min( D(v), D(w) + c(w,v) ) 13 /* new cost to v is either old cost to v or known 14 shortest path cost to w plus cost from w to v */ 15 until all nodes in N' Network Layer

20. Intra-AS Routing • also known as interior gateway protocols (IGP) • most common intra-AS routing protocols: • RIP: Routing Information Protocol • OSPF: Open Shortest Path First • IGRP: Interior Gateway Routing Protocol (Cisco proprietary) Network Layer

21. OSPF (Open Shortest Path First) • “open”: publicly available • uses link state algorithm • LS packet dissemination • topology map at each node • route computation using Dijkstra’s algorithm • OSPF advertisement carries one entry per neighbor • advertisements flooded to entire AS • carried in OSPF messages directly over IP (rather than TCP or UDP • IS-IS routing protocol: nearly identical to OSPF Network Layer

22. Hierarchical OSPF boundary router backbone router backbone area border routers area 3 internal routers area 1 area 2 Network Layer

23. Internet inter-AS routing: BGP • BGP (Border Gateway Protocol):the de facto inter-domain routing protocol • “glue that holds the Internet together” • BGP provides each AS a means to: • eBGP: obtain subnet reachability information from neighboring ASs. • iBGP: propagate reachability information to all AS-internal routers. • determine “good” routes to other networks based on reachability information and policy. • allows subnet to advertise its existence to rest of Internet: “I am here” Network Layer

24. 2c 2b 1b 1d 1c 3c BGP message 3a 3b 2a 1a AS1 BGP basics • BGP session:two BGP routers (“peers”) exchange BGP messages: • advertising pathsto different destination network prefixes (“path vector” protocol) • exchanged over semi-permanent TCP connections • when AS3 advertises a prefix to AS1: • AS3 promises it will forward datagrams towards that prefix • AS3 can aggregate prefixes in its advertisement AS3 other networks other networks AS2 Network Layer

25. 2c 2b 1b 1d 1c 3a 3b 2a 1a BGP basics: distributing path information • using eBGP session between 3a and 1c, AS3 sends prefix reachability info to AS1. • 1c can then use iBGP do distribute new prefix info to all routers in AS1 • 1b can then re-advertise new reachability info to AS2 over 1b-to-2a eBGP session • when router learns of new prefix, it creates entry for prefix in its forwarding table. eBGP session iBGP session AS3 other networks other networks AS2 AS1 Network Layer

26. BGP route selection • router may learn about more than 1 route to destination AS, selects route based on: • local preference value attribute: policy decision • shortest AS-PATH • closest NEXT-HOP router: hot potato routing • additional criteria Network Layer
