NAT traversal problem client want to connect to server with address 10.0.0.1 server address 10.0.0.1 local to LAN (client can’t use it as destination addr) only one externally visible NATted address: 138.76.29.7 solution 1: statically configure NAT to forward incoming connection requests at given port to server e.g., (123.76.29.7, port 2500) always forwarded to 10.0.0.1 port 25000 10.0.0.1 Client ? 10.0.0.4 138.76.29.7 NAT router Network Layer
Solution #1 Example: Cisco wireless router Network Layer
NAT traversal problem solution 2: Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) Internet Gateway Device (IGD) Protocol. Allows NATted host to: learn public IP address (138.76.29.7) Drill a “hole” in NAT Add a port mappings on NAT Require both host and NAT to be UPnP compatible automate static NAT port map configuration 10.0.0.1 IGD 138.76.29.7 10.0.0.4 NAT router Network Layer
NAT traversal problem solution 3: relaying (used in Skype) NATed server establishes connection to relay External client connects to relay relay bridges packets between to connections 2. connection to relay initiated by client 1. connection to relay initiated by NATted host 10.0.0.1 3. relaying established Client 138.76.29.7 NAT router Network Layer

ICMP: Internet Control Message Protocol used by hosts & routers to communicate network-level information error reporting: unreachable host, network, port, protocol echo request/reply (used by ping) network-layer “above” IP: ICMP msgs carried in IP datagrams Not built on TCP! ICMP message: type, code plus first 8 bytes of IP datagram causing error Type Code description 0 0 echo reply (ping) 3 0 dest. network unreachable 3 1 dest host unreachable 3 2 dest protocol unreachable 3 3 dest port unreachable 3 6 dest network unknown 3 7 dest host unknown 4 0 source quench (congestion control - not used) 8 0 echo request (ping) 9 0 route advertisement 10 0 router discovery 11 0 TTL expired 12 0 bad IP header Network Layer
Traceroute and ICMP Source sends series of UDP segments to dest First has TTL =1 Second has TTL=2, etc. Unlikely port number When nth datagram arrives to nth router: Router discards datagram And sends to source an ICMP message (type 11, code 0) Message includes name of router& IP address When ICMP message arrives, source calculates RTT Traceroute does this 3 times Stopping criterion UDP segment eventually arrives at destination host Destination returns ICMP “host unreachable” packet (type 3, code 3) When source gets this ICMP, stops.

IPv6 Initial motivation: 32-bit address space soon to be completely allocated. Additional motivation: header format helps speed processing/forwarding header changes to facilitate QoS Checksum: removed entirely to reduce processing time at each hop IPv6 datagram format: fixed-length 40 byte header no fragmentation allowed Very slow take off IPv4 still has space (CIDR, DHCP, NAT) Too trouble to upgrade Network Layer
IPv6 Header (Cont) Priority: identify priority among datagrams in flow Flow Label: identify datagrams in same “flow.” (concept of“flow” not well defined). Next header: identify upper layer protocol for data Network Layer
Transition From IPv4 To IPv6 Not all routers can be upgraded simultaneous no “flag days” How will the network operate with mixed IPv4 and IPv6 routers? Tunneling: IPv6 carried as payload in IPv4 datagram among IPv4 routers Network Layer

IPv6 Tunneling vs. IPv4 NAT Similarity: Both have one IPv4 public IP address, and many computers behind it Conduct translation/capculing on that special edge router Difference: Hosts behind NAT are un-addressable Cannot communicate with each other Hosts behind Tunneling are addressable Can communicate with each other directly Network Layer

A Link-State Routing Algorithm 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 routing table for that node iterative: after k iterations, know least cost path to k destinations Idea: at each iteration increase spanning tree by the node that has least cost path to the source 5 3 B C 2 5 A 2 1 F 3 1 2 D E 1 Network Layer
A Link-State Routing Algorithm Notation: c(i,j): link cost from node i to j. cost infinite 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, that is next v N: set of nodes already in spanning tree (least cost path known) Examples: c(B,C) = 3 D(E) = 2 p(B) = A N = { A, B, D, E } 5 3 B C 2 5 A 2 1 F 3 1 2 D E 1 Network Layer

Distance Vector Algorithm (1) Bellman-Ford Equation (dynamic programming) Define dx(y) := cost of least-cost path from x to y Then dx(y) = minv {c(x,v) + dv(y) } where min is taken over all neighbors of x Network Layer
Bellman-Ford example Suppose we know that dv(z) = 5, dx(z) = 3, dw(z) = 3 u y x w v z 2 1 3 5 B-F equation says: du(z) = min { c(u,v) + dv(z), c(u,x) + dx(z), c(u,w) + dw(z) } = min {2 + 5, 1 + 3, 5 + 3} = 4 How about du(y)? Network Layer
Distance Vector Algorithm (3) Dx(y) = estimate of least cost from x to y Distance vector: Dx = [Dx(y): y є N ] Node x knows cost to each neighbor v: c(x,v) Node x maintains Dx = [Dx(y): y є N ] Node x also maintains its neighbors’ distance vectors For each neighbor v, x maintains Dv = [Dv(y): y є N ] Network Layer
Distance vector algorithm (4) Basic idea: Each node periodically sends its own distance vector estimate to neighbors When a node x receives new DV estimate from neighbor, it updates its own DV using B-F equation: Dx(y) ← minv{c(x,v) + Dv(y)} for each node y ∊ N Under minor, natural conditions, the estimate Dx(y) converge the actual least cost dx(y) Network Layer
Distance Vector Algorithm (5) Iterative, asynchronous: each local iteration caused by: local link cost change DV update message from neighbor Distributed: each node notifies neighbors only when its DV changes neighbors then notify their neighbors if necessary Each node: wait for (change in local link, cost of msg from neighbor) recompute estimates if DV to any dest has changed, notify neighbors Network Layer

Distance Vector: link cost changes node detects local link cost change updates routing info, recalculates distance vector if DV changes, notify neighbors x z 1 4 50 y At time t0, y detects the link-cost change, updates its DV, and informs its neighbors. “good news travels fast” At time t1, z receives the update from y and updates its table. It computes a new least cost to x and sends its neighbors its DV. At time t2, y receives z’s update and updates its distance table. y’s least costs do not change and hence y does not send any message to z. Network Layer
