8. Network Layer 4-8 Connection, connection-less service  datagram network provides network-layer connectionless service  Internet uses this  virtual-circuit network provides network-layer connection service  ATM uses this

9. Network Layer 4-9 Virtual circuits r call setup, teardown for each call before data can flow r each packet carries VC identifier (not destination host address) r every router on source-dest path maintains “state” for each passing connection r link, router resources (bandwidth, buffers) may be allocated to VC (dedicated resources = predictable service) “source-to-dest path behaves much like telephone circuit” m performance-wise m network actions along source-to-dest path

10. Network Layer 4-10 VC implementation a VC consists of: 1. path from source to destination 2. VC numbers, one number for each link along path 3. entries in forwarding tables in routers along path  packet belonging to VC carries VC number (rather than dest address)  VC number can be changed on each link.  new VC number comes from forwarding table

19. Network Layer4-19 Router Architecture Overview Two key router functions: r run routing algorithms/protocol (RIP, OSPF, BGP) r forwarding datagrams from incoming to outgoing link

20. Network Layer4-20 Input Port Functions Decentralized switching: r given datagram dest., lookup output port using forwarding table in input port memory r goal: complete input port processing at ‘line speed’ r queuing: if datagrams arrive faster than forwarding rate into switch fabric Physical layer: bit-level reception Data link layer: e.g., Ethernet see chapter 5

21. Network Layer4-21 Three types of switching fabrics

22. Network Layer4-22 Switching Via Memory First generation routers: r traditional computers with switching under direct control of CPU r packet copied to system’s memory r speed limited by memory bandwidth (2 bus crossings per datagram) Input Port Output Port Memory System Bus

23. Network Layer4-23 Switching Via a Bus r datagram from input port memory to output port memory via a shared bus r bus contention: switching speed limited by bus bandwidth m Only one packet can be on bus at any time r 1 Gbps bus, Cisco 1900: sufficient speed for access and enterprise routers (not regional or backbone)

24. Network Layer4-24 Switching Via An Interconnection Network r overcome bus bandwidth limitations r Can pass multiple packets at the same time r Cisco 12000: switches Gbps through the interconnection network

25. Network Layer4-25 Output Ports r Buffering required when datagrams arrive from fabric faster than the transmission rate r Scheduling discipline chooses among queued datagrams for transmission

26. Network Layer4-26 Output port queueing r buffering when arrival rate via switch exceeds output line speed r queueing (delay) and loss due to output port buffer overflow!

27. Network Layer4-27 Input Port Queuing r Fabric slower than input ports combined -> queueing may occur at input queues r Head-of-the-Line (HOL) blocking: queued datagram at front of queue prevents others in queue from moving forward r queueing delay and loss due to input buffer overflow!

31. Network Layer4-31 IP Fragmentation & Reassembly r network links have MTU (max.transfer size) - largest possible link-level frame. m different link types, different MTUs r large IP datagram divided (“fragmented”) within net m one datagram becomes several datagrams m “reassembled” only at final destination m IP header bits used to identify, order related fragments r Now most packet has less than 1,500 bytes m due to Ethernet m Very rare fragmentation in practice fragmentation: in: one large datagram out: 3 smaller datagrams reassembly

33. Network Layer4-33 IP Addressing: introduction r IP address: 32-bit identifier for host, router interface r interface: connection between host/router and physical link m router’s typically have multiple interfaces m host typically has one interface m IP addresses associated with each interface 223.1.1.1 223.1.1.2 223.1.1.3 223.1.1.4 223.1.2.9 223.1.2.2 223.1.2.1 223.1.3.2 223.1.3.1 223.1.3.27 223.1.1.1 = 11011111 00000001 00000001 00000001 223 111

34. Network Layer4-34 Subnets r IP address: m subnet part (high order bits) m host part (low order bits) r What’s a subnet ? m device interfaces with same subnet part of IP address m can physically reach each other without intervening router 223.1.1.1 223.1.1.2 223.1.1.3 223.1.1.4 223.1.2.9 223.1.2.2 223.1.2.1 223.1.3.2 223.1.3.1 223.1.3.27 network consisting of 3 subnets subnet

35. Network Layer4-35 Subnets 223.1.1.0/24 223.1.2.0/24 223.1.3.0/24 Recipe r To determine the subnets, detach each interface from its host or router, creating islands of isolated networks. Each isolated network is called a subnet. Subnet mask: /24

36. Network Layer4-36 Subnets How many? 223.1.1.1 223.1.1.3 223.1.1.4 223.1.2.2 223.1.2.1 223.1.2.6 223.1.3.2 223.1.3.1 223.1.3.27 223.1.1.2 223.1.7.0 223.1.7.1 223.1.8.0223.1.8.1 223.1.9.1 223.1.9.2

38. IP Subnet r For a “a.b.c.d/n” subnet m It has 2 32-n IP addresses m The first IP address in this subnet is: a.b.c.d Its last n bits must be 0 This address is usually reserved, not used for any computer m The last address in the block can be found by setting the rightmost 32 − n bits to 1s This address is used as broadcast address Network Layer4-38

39. Subnet Example A /28 block of addresses is granted to a small organization. We know that one of the addresses is 205.16.37.39. What is the first address in the block? What is its x.y.z.t/n representation? Solution The binary representation of the given address is 11001101 00010000 00100101 00100111 If we set 32−28 rightmost bits to 0, we get 11001101 00010000 00100101 00100000 or 205.16.37.32 The block representation is 205.16.37.32/28 Network Layer4-39

A: ICANN: Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers m allocates addresses m manages DNS m assigns domain names, resolves disputes r ICANN publishes /8 address allocation r You can use online “IP address locator” to find out where a packet comes from m http://www.geobytes.com/IpLocator.htm m www.ip2location.com/free.asp

45. Network Layer4-45 NAT: Network Address Translation 10.0.0.1 10.0.0.2 10.0.0.3 10.0.0.4 138.76.29.7 local network (e.g., home network) 10.0.0/24 rest of Internet Datagrams with source or destination in this network have 10.0.0/24 address for source, destination (as usual) All datagrams leaving local network have same single source NAT IP address: 138.76.29.7, different source port numbers

46. Network Layer4-46 NAT: Network Address Translation r Motivation: local network uses just one IP address as far as outside world is concerned: m no need to be allocated range of addresses from ISP: - just one IP address is used for all devices m devices inside local net not explicitly addressable, visible by outside world (a security plus) Cannot be scanned or infected by worm or attackers outside Internet

47. Network Layer4-47 NAT: Network Address Translation Implementation: NAT router must: m outgoing datagrams: replace (source IP address, port #) of every outgoing datagram to (NAT IP address, new port #)... remote clients/servers will respond using (NAT IP address, new port #) as destination addr. m remember (in NAT translation table) every (source IP address, port #) to (NAT IP address, new port #) translation pair m incoming datagrams: replace (NAT IP address, new port #) in dest fields of every incoming datagram with corresponding (source IP address, port #) stored in NAT table

49. Network Layer4-49 NAT: Network Address Translation r 16-bit port-number field: m 60,000 simultaneous connections with a single LAN-side address! r NAT is controversial: m violates end-to-end argument Internal computers not visible to outside Outside hosts have trouble to request service from local computers, e.g., P2P, video conference, web hosting. m address shortage should instead be solved by IPv6
