How to Make Routing Scale
• Flat(Ethernet)versusHierarchical(Internet)Addresses – All hosts attached to same network have same network address
• Problem: inefficient use of Hierarchical Address Space – class C with 2 hosts (2/255 = 0.78% efficient)
– class B with 256 hosts (256/65535 = 0.39% efficient)
• Problem: still Too Many Networks
– routing tables do not scale
• Big tables make routers expensive
– route propagation protocols do not scale

Today’s Internet
• Consists of ISP’s (Internet Service Providers) who run
AS’s (Autonomous Systems)
• All you need to become an ISP is some address space,
an AS number and a peer or two
– Easier said than done
• Getting addresses and AS number is the tricky part
• There are public peering points (MAE East, Central and West)
– NAP’s run by MCI where peering can take place
• Most peering points are private
• Number of connections have been doubling for some time – how do we deal with this kind of scaling?

Subnetting – 1985
• Original intent was for network to identify one physical network
– Lots of small networks are what we actually have – how do we handle this?
• Solution: add another level to address/routing hierarchy: subnet
– Allocate addresses to several physical networks
– Routers in other ASs route all traffic to network as if it is a single physical network
• Subnet masks define variable partition of host part
– 1’s identify subnet, 0’s identify hosts within the subnet
– Mechanism for sharing a single network number among multiple networks
• Subnets visible only within a site

Forwarding Algorithm
D = destination IP address
for each entry (SubnetNum, SubnetMask, NextHop)
D1 = SubnetMask & D
if D1 = SubnetNum
if NextHop is an interface
deliver datagram directly to D
deliver datagram to NextHop
• Use a default router if nothing matches
• Not necessary for all 1s in subnet mask to be contiguous
• Can put multiple subnets on one physical network
• Subnets not visible from the rest of the Internet

Subnets contd.
• Subnetting is not the only way to solve scalability problems
• Additional router support is necessary to include netmask and forwarding functionality
• Non-contiguous netmask numbers can be used
– They make administration more difficult
• Multiple subnets can reside on a single network – Requires routers within the network
• Subnets help solve scalability problems
– Do not require us to use class B or C address for each physical network
– Help us to aggrigate information
• Chief advantage of IP addresses: routers could keep one entry per network instead of one per destination host

Continued Problems with IPv4 Addresses
• Problem:
– Potential exhaustion of IPv4 address space (due to inefficiency)
• Class B network numbers are highly prized
– Not everyone needs one
• Lots of class C addresses but no one wants them
– Growth of back bone routing tables
• We don’t want lots of small networks since this causes large routing tables
• Route calculation and management requires high computational overhead
• Solution:
– Allow addresses assigned to a single entity to span multiple classed prefixes
– Enhance route aggregation

Supernetting
• Assign block of contiguous network numbers to nearby networks
• Called CIDR: Classless Inter-Domain Routing
– Breaks rigid boundries between address classes
– If ISP needs 16 class C addresses, make them contiguous
• Eg.192.4.16 to 192.4.31 enables a 20-bit network number
– Idea is to enable network number to be any length
– Collapse multiple addresses assigned to a single AS to one address
• Represent blocks (number of class C networks) 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

CIDR Addresses
• Identifying a CIDR block requires both an address and a mask
– Slash notation
– 128.211.168.0/21 for addresses 128.211.168.0 – 128.211.175.255
• Here the /21 indicates a 21 bit mask
– All possible CIDR masks can easily be generated
• /8, /16, /24 correspond to traditional class A, B, C categories
• IP addresses are now arbitrary integers, not classes
• Raises interesting questions about lookups
– Routers cannot determine the division between prefix and suffix just by looking at the address
• Hashing does not work well
• Interesting lookup algorithms have been developed and analyzed

Route aggregation with CIDR

CIDR – A Couple Details
• ISP’s can further subdivide their blocks of addresses using CIDR
• Some prefixes are reserved for private addresses – 10/8, 172.16/12, 192.168/16, 169.254/16
– These are not routable in the Internet

Routing table lookup: Longest Prefix Match
With CIDR, there can be multiple matches for a destination address in the routing table
Longest Prefix Match: Search for the routing table entry that has the longest match with the prefix of the destination IP address (=Most Specific Router):
128.143.71.21
Destination address
Search for a match on all 32 bits
Search for a match for 31 bits …..
Search for a mach on 0 bits
10.0.0.0/8 128.143.0.0/16 128.143.64.0/20 128.143.192.0/20
128.143.71.55/32 default
128.143.71.0/24 R4
R1 R2 R3 R3
Needed: Data structures that support a fast longest prefix match lookup!
The longest prefix match for 128.143.71.21 is for 24 bits with entry 128.143.71.0/24
Datagram will be sent to R4

IP Address Lookup Algorithms
• The following algorithms are suitable for Longest Prefix Match routing table lookups
– Path-Compressed Tries
– Disjoint-prefix binary Tries – Multibit Tries
– Binary Search on Prefix
– Prefix Range Search

• A trie is a tree-based data structure for storing strings:
– There is one node for every common prefix
– The strings are stored in extra leaf nodes
• Tries can be used to store network prefixes
– Note: Prefixes are not only stored at leaf nodes but also at internal nodes

What is a Trie?

Binary Trie
• Each leaf contains a possible address
• Prefixes in the table are marked (dark)
– Traverse the tree according to destination address
– Most recent marked node is the current longest prefix
– Search ends when a leaf node is reached

Binary Trie
– Search for the new entry
– Search ends when a leaf node is reached
– If there is no branch to take, insert new node(s)

Compressed Binary Trie
• Goal: Eliminate long sequences of 1-child nodes
• Path compressionàcollapses 1-child branches
• Path Compression:
– Requires to store additional information with nodesàBit number field is
added to node
– Bit string of prefixes must be explicitly stored at nodes
• Need to make comparison when searching the tree

Compressed Binary Trie
• Search: “010110”
– Root node: Inspect 1st bit and move left
– “a” node:
• Check with prefix of a (“0*”) and find a match
• Inspect 3rd bit and move left
– “b” node:
• Check with prefix of b (“01000*”) and determine that there is no match
• Search stops. Longest prefix match is with a

Disjoint-Prefix Binary Trie
• Multiple matches in longest prefix rule require backtracking of search
• Goal: Transform tree as to avoid multiple matches
• Disjoint prefix:
– Nodes are split so that there is only one match for each prefix (“Leaf pushing”)
– Consequence: Internal nodes do not match with prefixes – Results:
• a (0*) is split into: a1 (00*), a3 (010*), a2 (01001*)
• d (1*) is represented as d1 (101*)

Variable-Stride Multibit Trie
• Goal: Accelerate lookup by inspecting more than one bit at a time
• “Stride”: number of bits inspected at one time
• With k-bit stride, node has up to 2k child nodes
• 2-bit stride:
– 1-bit prefix for a (0*) is split into 00* and 01*
– 1-bit prefix for d (1*) is split into 10* and 11*
– 3-bit prefix for c has been expanded to two nodes
– Why are the prefixes for b and e not expanded?

Complexity of the Lookup
• Complexity is expressed with O(.) (“big – O”) notation:
– describes an asymptotic upper bound for the magnitude of a function in terms of another, usually simpler, function.
• W: length of the address (32 bits)
• N: number of prefix in the routing table
O(N) : growth is linear with N O(N2): growth is quadratic with N

Complexity of the Lookup
• Bounds are expressed for
– Look-up time: What is the longest lookup time?
– Update time: How long does it take to change an entry?
– Memory: How much memory is required to store the data structure?
