MAC addresses and ARP • 32-bit IP address: • network-layer address for interface • used for layer 3 (network layer) forwarding • MAC (or LAN or physical or Ethernet) address: • function:used ‘locally” to get frame from one interface to another physically-connected interface (same network, in IP-addressing sense) • 48 bit MAC address (for most LANs) burned in NIC ROM, also sometimes software settable • e.g.: 1A-2F-BB-76-09-AD hexadecimal (base 16) notation (each “number” represents 4 bits) Link Layer
LAN addresses and ARP each adapter on LAN has unique LAN address 1A-2F-BB-76-09-AD LAN (wired or wireless) adapter 71-65-F7-2B-08-53 58-23-D7-FA-20-B0 0C-C4-11-6F-E3-98 Link Layer
LAN addresses (more) • MAC address allocation administered by IEEE • manufacturer buys portion of MAC address space (to assure uniqueness) • analogy: • MAC address: like Social Security Number • IP address: like postal address • MAC flat address ➜ portability • can move LAN card from one LAN to another • IP hierarchical address not portable • address depends on IP subnet to which node is attached Link Layer
Question: how to determine interface’s MAC address, knowing its IP address? ARP: address resolution protocol ARP table: each IP node (host, router) on LAN has table • IP/MAC address mappings for some LAN nodes: < IP address; MAC address; TTL> • TTL (Time To Live): time after which address mapping will be forgotten (typically 20 min) 137.196.7.78 1A-2F-BB-76-09-AD 137.196.7.23 137.196.7.14 LAN 71-65-F7-2B-08-53 58-23-D7-FA-20-B0 0C-C4-11-6F-E3-98 137.196.7.88 Link Layer
A wants to send datagram to B B’s MAC address not in A’s ARP table. A broadcasts ARP query packet, containing B's IP address dest MAC address = FF-FF-FF-FF-FF-FF all nodes on LAN receive ARP query B receives ARP packet, replies to A with its (B's) MAC address frame sent to A’s MAC address (unicast) A caches (saves) IP-to-MAC address pair in its ARP table until information becomes old (times out) soft state: information that times out (goes away) unless refreshed ARP protocol: same LAN Link Layer

Ethernet switch • link-layer device: takes an active role • store, forward Ethernet frames • examine incoming frame’s MAC address, selectively forward frame to one-or-more outgoing links when frame is to be forwarded on segment, uses CSMA/CD to access segment • transparent • hosts are unaware of presence of switches • plug-and-play, self-learning • switches do not need to be configured Link Layer
Switch: multiple simultaneous transmissions • hosts have dedicated, direct connection to switch • switches buffer packets • Ethernet protocol used on each incoming link, but no collisions; full duplex • each link is its own collision domain • switching:A-to-A’ and B-to-B’ can transmit simultaneously, without collisions A B C’ 1 2 6 4 5 3 B’ C A’ switch with six interfaces (1,2,3,4,5,6) Link Layer
Switch forwarding table Q:how does switch know A’ reachable via interface 4, B’ reachable via interface 5? A B C’ • A:each switch has a switch table,each entry: • (MAC address of host, interface to reach host, time stamp) • looks like a routing table! 1 2 6 4 5 3 B’ C Q:how are entries created, maintained in switch table? • something like a routing protocol? A’ switch with six interfaces (1,2,3,4,5,6) Link Layer
Source: A Dest: A’ MAC addr interface TTL 60 1 A A A’ Switch: self-learning • switchlearnswhich hosts can be reached through which interfaces • when frame received, switch “learns” location of sender: incoming LAN segment • records sender/location pair in switch table A B C’ 1 2 6 4 5 3 B’ C A’ Switch table (initially empty) Link Layer

Interconnecting switches • switches can be connected together S4 S1 S3 S2 A F I D C B H G E • Q: sending from A to G - how does S1 know to forward frame destined to F via S4 and S3? • A:self learning! (works exactly the same as in single-switch case!) Link Layer

network link physical link physical datagram datagram frame frame frame Switches vs. routers application transport network link physical both are store-and-forward: • routers: network-layer devices (examine network-layer headers) • switches: link-layer devices (examine link-layer headers) both have forwarding tables: • routers: compute tables using routing algorithms, IP addresses • switches: learn forwarding table using flooding, learning, MAC addresses switch application transport network link physical They become more and more similar!

Data center networks • 10’s to 100’s of thousands of hosts, often closely coupled, in close proximity: • e-business (e.g. Amazon) • content-servers (e.g., YouTube, Akamai, Apple, Microsoft) • search engines, data mining (e.g., Google) • challenges: • multiple applications, each serving massive numbers of clients • managing/balancing load, avoiding processing, networking, data bottlenecks Inside a 40-ft Microsoft container, Chicago data center Link Layer

Two-Level Routing Table • Avoid Packet Reordering • traffic diffusion occurs in the first half of a packet journey • Centralized Protocol to Initialize the Routing Table
Flow Classification (Dynamic) • Soft State (Compatible with Two-Level Routing Table) • A flow=packet with the same source and destination IP address • Avoid Reordering of Flow • Balancing • Assignment and Updating
Flow Classification—Flow Assignment Hash(Src,Des) Have seen this hash value? N Record new flow record f Y Assign f to least-loaded port x Lookup previously assign port x Send packet on port x Send packet on port x
Flow Scheduling • distribution of transfer times and burst lengths of Internet traffic is long-tailed • Large flow dominating • Large flow should be specially handled • Path-level scheduling – will be discussed next class in the paper Hedera
Experiment Description—hierarchical tree,click • four machines running four hosts each, and four machines each running four pod switches with one additional uplink • The four pod switches are connected to a 4-port core switch running on a dedicated machine. • 3.6:1 oversubscription on the uplinks from the pod switches to the core switch • Each host generates a constant 96Mbit/s of outgoing traffic
Conclusion • Bandwidth is the scalability bottleneck in large scale clusters • Existing solutions are expensive and limit cluster size • Fat-tree topology with scalable routing and backward compatibility with TCP/IP and Ethernet
