INTERNETWORK

SIMPLE INTERNETWORKING

INTERNETWORK Internetwork or “internet” refers to an

arbitrary collection of network interconnected to provide some sort of host-to-host packet delivery service

Internet is different from internet Also called “network of networks”

made up of lots smaller networks Device: router or gateway

SERVICE MODEL

Packet Delivery 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

IPv4 Header: 192 bits (24 bytes)

DATAGRAM FORMAT (IPV4)

Version (4): currently 4 Hlen (4): number of 32-bit words in header TOS (8): type of service (not widely used) Length (16): number of bytes in this datagram Ident (16): used by fragmentation Flags/Offset (16): used by fragmentation TTL (8): number of hops this datagram has

travelled Protocol (8): demux key (TCP=6, UDP=17) Checksum (16): of the header only DestAddr & SrcAddr (32)

FRAGMENTATION & REASSEMBLY

Each network has some MTU (Maximum Transfer Unit)

Strategyfragment when necessary (MTU <

Datagram)try to avoid fragmentation at source hostrefragmentation is possiblefragments are self-contained datagramsdelay reassembly until destination hostdo not recover from lost fragments

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

GLOBAL INTERNET

Scalability Issues IP “hides” hosts in address hierarchy,

but... Inefficient use of address space

class C network with 2 hosts (2/255 = 0.78% efficient)

class B network with 256 hosts (256/65535 = 0.39% efficient)

Too many networks today's Internet has tens of thousands of networks routing tables do not scale route propagation protocols do not scale

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• table entries timeout in about 10 minutes

ARP OPERATION

ICMP

IP protocol is best-effort delivery service It has 2 deficiencies:

Lack of error controls (no error-correcting) Lack of assistance mechanisms (no error-

reporting) A host needs to determine if a another node

is alive use ICMP ICMP is a companion to the IP protocol

Error Reporting messages : Destination unreachable Source quench Time exceeded Redirection

• Query :– Echo request or reply– Timestamp request and

reply– Address mask request

and reply– Router solicitation and

advertisement

DYNAMIC HOST CONFIGURATION PROTOCOL (DHCP)

Extension of BOOTP, and its compatible DHCP provides temporary IP addresses for a

limited period of time DCHP has 2 database:

1. Database that binds physical @ with IP @2. Database with pool of available IP @

SUBNETTING Add another level to address/routing

hierarchy: subnet Subnet masks define variable partition of

host part of class A and B addresses Subnets visible only within site

135.50.45.0 255.255.255.0 Router2

FORWARDING ALGORITHM

D = destination IP addressfor each entry < SubnetNum, SubnetMask,

NextHop>D1 = SubnetMask & D

if D1 = SubnetNum if NextHop is an interface

deliver datagram directly to destination

else deliver datagram to NextHop (a

router)

Notes: Would use a default router if nothing matches Can put multiple subnets on one physical network Subnets not visible from the rest of the Internet

SUPERNETTING

Assign block of contiguous network numbers to near-by networks

Called CIDR: Classless Inter-Domain Routing Represent blocks with a single pair

<first_network_address, count> Restrict block sizes to powers of 2 Use a bit mask (CIDR mask) to identify block

size All routers must understand CIDR

addressing

ROUTE PROPAGATION Idea:

Impose a second hierarchy on the network that limits what routers talk to each other. (The first hierarchy is the address hierarchy that governs how packets are forwarded.)

Autonomous System (AS) corresponds to an administrative domain examples: University, company, backbone

network assign each AS a 16-bit number

Two-level route propagation hierarchy interior gateway protocol (each AS selects its

own) exterior gateway protocol (Internet-wide

standard)

INTRA AS

ROUTING

Forwarding versus Routing forwarding: to select an output port

based on destination address and routing table

Problem: Find the lowest cost path between any two nodes

ROUTING PROTOCOL

Factors: Static: topology Dynamic: load

Classes: Distance Vector Link State

DISTANCE VECTOR Each node maintains a set of triples:

(Destination, Cost, NextHop)

Each node sends updates to (and receives updates from) its directly connected neighbors

periodically (on the order of several seconds) whenever its 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

and sends update to B B sets distance to E to infinity

LINK STATE

Strategy: Send to all nodes (not just neighbors) information about directly connected links (not entire routing table).

Route Calculation (in theory) Dijkstra's shortest path algorithm N denotes set of nodes in the graph l(i,j) denotes non-negative cost

(weight) for edge (i,j) s in N denotes this node M denotes the set of nodes

incorporated so far C(n) denotes cost of the path from s

to node n

DIJKSTRA'S ALGORITHM

M = {s}for each n in N - {s} C(n) = l(s,n)while (N ≠ M) M = M {w} such that C(w) is the minimum for all w in (N-

M) for each n in (N-M) C(n) = MIN (C(n), C(w)+l(w,n))

LINK STATE

Route Calculation (in practice) Forward search algorithm Each switch maintains two lists:

Tentative and Confirmed Each list contains a set of triples:

(Destination, Cost, NextHop)

FORWARD SEARCH ALGORITHM

1. Initialize Confirmed with entry for me; cost = 0.

2. For the node just added to Confirmed (call it Next) select its LSP.

3. For each Neighbor of Next, calculate the Cost to reach this Neighbor as the sum of the cost from me to Next and from Next to Neighbor

3.1. If Neighbor is currently in neither Confirmed or Tentative, add (Neighbor, Cost, NextHop) to Tentative, where NextHop is the direction to reach Next.

3.2. If Neighbor is currently in Tentative and Cost is less that current cost for Neighbor, then replace current entry with (Neighbor, Cost, NextHop), where NextHop is the direction to reach Next.

4. If Tentative is empty, stop. Otherwise, pick entry from Tentative with the lowest cost, move it to Confirmed, and return to step 2.

Langkah-langkah pembentukan tabel ruting untuk node C:

Step Confirmed Tentative Comments

1 (C,0,-) Karena C merupakan satu-satunya anggota baru dari Confirmed, maka dilihat LSP-nya

2

(C,0,-) (B,11,B)(D,2,D)

LSP dari C menyatakan bahwa B dapat dicapai melalui B dengan biaya 11, yang lebih baik (kecil) dibanding entri lain dalam list sehingga dimasukkan dalam Tentative. Hal yang sama juga berlaku untuk D

3(C,0,-)(D,2,D)

(B,11,B) Masukkan entri Tentative dengan biaya terkecil (D) ke Confirmed. Kemudian lihat LSP dari anggota Confirmed yang baru tersebut (D)

4

(C,0,-)(D,2,D)

(B,5,D)(A,12,D)

Biaya untuk mencapai B melalui D adalah 5, sehingga entri (B,11,B) digantikan oleh (B,5,D). LSP dari C juga memberikan informasi bahwa A dapat dicapai dengan biaya 12.

5(C,0,-)(D,2,D)(B,5,D)

(A,12,D) Pindahkan anggota Tentative dengan biaya terkecil (B) ke Confirmed, kemudian lihat LSP-nya

6(C,0,-)(D,2,D)(B,5,D)

(A,10,D) Karena A dapat dicapai dengan biaya 5 dari B maka entri dari Tentative di-update

7

(C,0,-)(D,2,D)(B,5,D)

(A,10,D)

Pindahkan anggota Tentative dengan biaya terkecil (A) ke Confirmed. Karena Tentative telah kosong (jalur terbaik ke seluruh node telah diketahui) maka eksekusi algoritma selesai

EGP: EXTERIOR GATEWAY PROTOCOL

Overview designed for tree-structured Internet concerned with reachability, not optimal routes

Protocol messages neighbor acquisition: one router requests that

another routers could be its peer; peers exchange reachability information

neighbor reachability: one router periodically tests to see if the other router is still reachable; exchange HELLO/ACK messages;

routing updates: peers periodically exchange their routing tables (similar to distance-vector)

Formal specification : RFC-904

BGP-4: BORDER GATEWAY PROTOCOL

Assumes the Internet is an arbitrarily interconnected set of AS's.

Define local traffic as traffic that originates at or terminates on nodes within an AS, and transit traffic as traffic that passes through an AS

We can classify AS's into three types: Stub AS: an AS that has only a single connection to

one other AS; such an AS will only carry local traffic. Multi-homed AS: an AS that has connections to

more than one other AS, but refuses to carry transit traffic.

Transit AS: an AS that has connections to more than one other AS, and is designed to carry both transit and local traffic.

BGP-4: BORDER GATEWAY PROTOCOL

Each AS has: One or more border routers One BGP speaker that advertises:

local networks other reachable networks (transit AS only) gives path information

BGP-4 : RFC-1771

BGP EXAMPLE

Speaker for AS 2 advertises reachability to A and BNetwork 128.96, 192.4.153, 192.4.32, and 192.4.3, can be reached directly from AS 2.

Speaker for backbone network then advertisesNetworks 128.96, 192.4.153, 192.4.32, and 192.4.3 can be reached along the path <AS 1, AS 2>.

Speaker can also cancel previously advertised paths

EXERCISE

Suppose a TCP message that contains 2028 bytes of data and 20 bytes of TCP header is passed to IP for delivery across two networks of the Internet. The first network uses 14 bytes headers and has an MTU of 1024 bytes; the second uses 8-byte header with an MTU of 512. Each network’s MTU gives the sizes of largest IP datagram that can be carried in a link-layer frame. Give the sizes and offsets of the sequence of fragment delivered to the network layer at the destination host. Assume all IP headers are 20 bytes.
