7. 10/18/2007 EETS 73047 Data Link Layer Switching Multiple LANs connected by a backbone to handle a total load higher than the capacity of a single LAN.

8. Rationale for bridges * Various departments within corporate/universities. * Geographical spread of LANs. * Split big LAN to accommodate the load. * Physical distance between machines. * Reliability. * Bridges contribute to the security.

10. 10/18/2007 EETS 730410 The IEEE 802 frame formats Bridging different LANs must: use protocol conversion, buffering for speed difference, accommodating maximum frame lengths, encryption handling.

11. 10/18/2007 EETS 730411 Local Internetworking Bridge works in promiscuous mode: accepts any frame on any of the ports. It forwards the frame according to the forwarding table (destination address, port). Initially table is empty. Bridge uses flooding algorithm: forwards frame to every port except the one the frame came from. Bridge learns backward: it builds up forwarding table by using (source address, arriving port) To accommodate topology changes every 2 min forwarding table is updated. 1. If destination and source LAN same discard frame. 2. If destination and source LAN different forward frame. 3. If destination LAN unknown use flooding.

12. 10/18/2007 EETS 730412 Two parallel bridges Loop through flooding, F destined for LAN3: both bridges forward F to LAN2 -> F1, F2. B2 forwards F1 to LAN1 -> F3, and B1 forwards F2 to LAN1 -> F4. B1 forwards F3 to LAN2, and B2 forwards F4 to LAN2, etc.

13. 10/18/2007 EETS 730413 Spanning Tree Bridges Original extended LAN (a) is a graph with LANs as nodes and bridges as arcs (b). A spanning tree is the overlay graph without loops: there is only one path fro any LAN to any LAN. The dotted lines are not part of the spanning tree. Plug and play spanning tree algorithm is standardized by IEEE 802.1D.

14. 10/18/2007 EETS 730414 Remote Bridges used to interconnect distant LANs Bridges are interconnected by hostless LANs. They might use PPP: complete MAC frame is payload for PPP - inverse encapsulation. Inverse or equal encapsulation is called tunneling.

15. 10/18/2007 EETS 730415 Repeaters, Hubs, Bridges, Switches, Routers and Gateways by Layer (a) Which device is in which layer: different devices use different information for switching. (b) Frames, packets, and headers. Repeater is analog device between two coax ends. They understand volts. Classic Ethernet allows up to 4 repeaters to extend LAN from 500 m to 2500 m. Gateways here are protocol converters.

16. 10/18/2007 EETS 730416 Hubs, Bridges, Switches (a) Hub: do not amplify. Single collision domain. (b) Bridge: connects LANs (broadcasts frames), has a line cards with 4 to 8 ports each, each port is a collision domain. (c) Switch: connects individual hosts, forwards frame to single user, each port is a single user - no collision, old implementation is store-and-forward, new implementation is “cut-through” - as soon as destination address arrives switch starts forwarding the frame.

17. 10/18/2007 EETS 730417 Physical LAN with twisted pair Logical LAN was obtained by connecting to physical hub. There are as many hubs as virtual LANs. Why logical LANs: broadcasting (failure - babblers), security, unloading. VLAN - decoupling logical from physical topology.

18. 10/18/2007 EETS 730418 Virtual LANs (G-gray and W-white) bridge and switch implementation Configuration tables tell which VLAN is accessible via which port. E.g. frame coming from A must be forwarded by B1 to all G ports except the input port. How to know which host belongs to which VLAN w/out manual intervention? New Ethernet frame with VLAN identifier field -> IEEE 802.1Q.
