Two key network-layer functions
v forwarding: move packets from router’s input to appropriate router output
v routing: determine route taken by packets from source to dest.
§ routing algorithms
analogy:
v routing: process of planning trip from source to dest
v forwarding: process of getting through single interchange

Connection setup
v 3rd important function in some network architectures:
§ A TM, frame relay, X.25
v before datagrams flow, two end hosts and intervening routers establish virtual connection
§ routers get involved
v network vs transport layer connection service:
§ network: between two hosts (may also involve intervening routers in case of VCs)
§ transport: between two processes
Network Layer 4-7

Network service model
Q: What service model for “channel” transporting datagrams from sender to receiver?
example services for individual datagrams:
v guaranteed delivery
v guaranteed delivery with less than 40 msec delay
example services for a flow of datagrams:
v in-order datagram delivery
v guaranteed minimum bandwidth to flow
v restrictions on changes in inter-packet spacing
Network Layer 4-8

Connection, connection-less service
v datagram network provides network-layer connectionless service
v virtual-circuit network provides network-layer connection service
v analogous to TCP/UDP connecton-oriented / connectionless transport-layer services, but:
§ service: host-to-host
§ no choice: network provides one or the other § implementation: in network core
Network Layer 4-11

Virtual circuits
“source-to-dest path behaves much like telephone circuit”
§ performance-wise
§ network actions along source-to-dest path
v call setup, teardown for each call before data can flow v each packet carries VC identifier (not destination host
address)
v every router on source-dest path maintains “state” for each passing connection
v link, router resources (bandwidth, buffers) may be allocated to VC (dedicated resources = predictable service)
Network Layer 4-12

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
v packet belonging to VC carries VC number (rather than dest address)
v VCnumbercanbechangedoneachlink. § new VC number comes from forwarding table

Datagram or VC network: why?
Internet (datagram)
v data exchange among computers
§ “elastic” service, no strict timing req.
v many link types
§ different characteristics
§ uniform service difficult
v “smart” end systems (computers)
§ can adapt, perform control, error recovery
§ simple inside network, complexity at “edge”
ATM (VC)
v evolved from telephony v human conversation:
§ strict timing, reliability requirements
§ need for guaranteed service v “dumb” end systems
§ telephones
§ complexity inside network

Router architecture overview
two key router functions:
v run routing algorithms/protocol (RIP, OSPF, BGP) v forwarding datagrams from incoming to outgoing link
forwarding tables computed, pushed to input ports
routing, management control plane (software)
forwarding data plane (hardware)
high-seed switching
fabric
router input ports
router output ports
routing processor
Network Layer 4-22

Input port functions
link layer
protocol (receive)
lookup, forwarding
queueing
line termination
switch fabric
physical layer:
bit-level reception
data link layer:
e.g., Ethernet see chapter 5
decentralized switching:
v given datagram dest., lookup output port using forwarding table in input port memory (“match plus action”)
v goal: complete input port processing at ‘line speed’
v queuing: if datagrams arrive faster than forwarding rate into switch fabric
Network Layer 4-23

Switching fabrics
v transfer packet from input buffer to appropriate output buffer
v switching rate: rate at which packets can be transfer from inputs to outputs
§ often measured as multiple of input/output line rate § N inputs: switching rate N times line rate desirable
v three types of switching fabrics
memory
memory bus crossbar
Network Layer 4-24

Switching via memory
first generation routers:
vtraditional computers with switching under direct control of CPU
vpacket copied to system’s memory
v speed limited by memory bandwidth (2 bus crossings per datagram)
system bus
input port (e.g., Ethernet)
memory
output port (e.g., Ethernet)
Network Layer 4-25

Switching via a bus
v datagram from input port memory to output port memory via a
shared bus
vbuscontention: switchingspeed limited by bus bandwidth
v 32 Gbps bus, Cisco 5600: sufficient speed for access and enterprise routers
bus
Network Layer 4-26

Switching via interconnection network
v overcome bus bandwidth limitations
v banyan networks, crossbar, other interconnection nets initially developed to connect processors in multiprocessor
v advanced design: fragmenting datagram into fixed length cells, switch cells through the fabric.
v Cisco 12000: switches 60 Gbps through the interconnection network
crossbar
Network Layer 4-27

Output ports
switch fabric
datagram buffer
queueing
link layer
protocol (send)
line termination
v buffering required when datagrams arrive from fabric faster than the transmission rate
v scheduling discipline chooses among queued datagrams for transmission
Network Layer 4-28

Output port queueing
switch fabric
switch fabric
at t, packets more one packet time later from input to output
v Speed up factor of N: Fabric faster than N ports
v buffering when arrival rate via switch exceeds output line
speed
v queueing (delay) and loss due to output port buffer overflow! Network Layer 4-29

How much buffering?
v RFC 3439 rule of thumb: average buffering equal to “typical” RTT (say 250 msec) times link capacity C
§ e.g., C = 10 Gpbs link: 2.5 Gbit buffer
v recent recommendation: with N flows, buffering
equal to
RTT.C
N
v In practice because memory is cheap router buffers are large
Network Layer 4-30

Input port queuing
v fabric slower than input ports combined -> queueing may occur at input queues
§ queueing delay and loss due to input buffer overflow!
v Head-of-the-Line (HOL) blocking: queued datagram at front
of queue prevents others in queue from moving forward
switch fabric
switch fabric
output port contention: only one red datagram can be transferred.
lower red packet is blocked
one packet time later: green packet
experiences HOL blocking

Network Layer 4-34

IP fragmentation, reassembly
v network links have MTU (max.transfer size) – largest possible link-level frame
§ different link types, different MTUs
v large IP datagram divided (“fragmented”) within net
§ one datagram becomes several datagrams
§ “reassembled” only at final destination
§ IP header bits used to identify, order related fragments
fragmentation:
in: one large datagram out: 3 smaller datagrams
reassembly

goal: allow host to dynamically obtain its IP address from network server when it joins network
§ can renew its lease on address in use
§ allows reuse of addresses (only hold address while

local network (e.g., home network) 10.0.0/24
10.0.0.4
10.0.0.1 10.0.0.2
10.0.0.3
all datagrams leaving local network have same single
source NAT IP address: 138.76.29.7,different source port numbers
datagrams with source or destination in this network have 10.0.0/24 address for source, destination (as usual)
138.76.29.7
Network Layer 4-56

NA T: network address translation
motivation: local network uses just one IP address as far as outside world is concerned:
§rangeofaddressesnotneededfromISP: justone IP address for all devices
§ can change addresses of devices in local network without notifying outside world
§ can change ISP without changing addresses of devices in local network
§ devices inside local net not explicitly addressable, visible by outside world (a security plus)
Network Layer 4-57

NA T: network address translation
implementation: NA T router must:
§ 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
§ remember (in NA T translation table) every (source IP address, port #) to (NAT IP address, new port #) translation pair
§ incoming datagrams: replace (NA T IP address, new port #) in dest fields of every incoming datagram with corresponding (source IP address, port #) stored in NAT table

v Dx(y) = estimate of least cost from x to y
§ x maintains distance vector Dx = [Dx(y): y є N ]
v node x:
§ knows cost to each neighbor v: c(x,v)
§ maintains its neighbors’ distance vectors. For each neighbor v, x maintains
Dv =[Dv(y):yєN]
Network Layer 4-88

Distance vector algorithm
key idea:
v from time-to-time, each node sends its own distance vector estimate to neighbors
v when 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
v under minor, natural conditions, the estimate Dx(y) converge to the actual least cost dx(y)

each local iteration caused by:
v local link cost change
v DV update message from
neighbor
distributed:
v 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 or msg from neighbor)
recompute estimates if DV to any dest has
changed, notify neighbors

RIP ( Routing Information Protocol)
v included in BSD-UNIX distribution in 1982
v distance vector algorithm
§ distance metric: # hops (max = 15 hops), each link has cost 1
§ DVs exchanged with neighbors every 30 sec in response message (aka advertisement)
§ each advertisement: list of up to 25 destination subnets (in IP addressing sense)
from router A to destination subnets:
subnet hops u1
v2
u
zyy3 z2
v
AB
w
w2 CDx x3

Network Layer 4-108

RIP: link failure, recovery
if no advertisement heard after 180 sec –> neighbor/link declared dead
§ routes via neighbor invalidated
§ new advertisements sent to neighbors
§ neighbors in turn send out new advertisements (if tables changed)
§ link failure info quickly (?) propagates to entire net
§ poison reverse used to prevent ping-pong loops (infinite distance = 16 hops)
Network Layer 4-109

RIP table processing
v RIP routing tables managed by application-level process called route-d (daemon)
v advertisements sent in UDP packets, periodically repeated

OSPF (Open Shortest Path First)
v “open”: publicly available
v uses link state algorithm § LS packet dissemination
§ topology map at each node
§ route computation using Dijkstra’s algorithm
v OSPF advertisement carries one entry per neighbor v advertisements flooded to entire AS
§ carried in OSPF messages directly over IP (rather than TCP or UDP
v IS-IS routing protocol: nearly identical to OSPF
Network Layer 4-111

OSPF “advanced” features (not in RIP)
v security: all OSPF messages authenticated (to prevent
malicious intrusion)
v multiple same-cost paths allowed (only one path in RIP)
v for each link, multiple cost metrics for different TOS (e.g., satellite link cost set “low” for best effort ToS; high for real time ToS)
v integrated uni- and multicast support:
§ Multicast OSPF (MOSPF) uses same topology data
base as OSPF
v hierarchical OSPF in large domains.

Network Layer 4-113

Hierarchical OSPF
v two-level hierarchy: local area, backbone.
§ link-state advertisements only in area
§ each nodes has detailed area topology; only know direction (shortest path) to nets in other areas.
v area border routers: “summarize” distances to nets in own area, advertise to other Area Border routers.
v backbone routers: run OSPF routing limited to backbone.
v boundary routers: connect to other AS’s.
Network Layer 4-114

Internet inter-AS routing: BGP
v BGP (Border Gateway Protocol): the de facto inter-domain routing protocol
§ “glue that holds the Internet together” v BGP provides each AS a means to:
§ eBGP: obtain subnet reachability information from neighboring ASs.
§ iBGP: propagate reachability information to all AS- internal routers.
§ determine “good” routes to other networks based on reachability information and policy.
v allows subnet to advertise its existence to rest of Internet: “I am here”
Network Layer 4-115

BGP basics
v BGP session: two BGP routers (“peers”) exchange BGP messages:
§ advertising paths to different destination network prefixes (“path vector” protocol)
§ exchanged over semi-permanent TCP connections
v when AS3 advertises a prefix to AS1:
§ AS3 promises it will forward datagrams towards that prefix § AS3 can aggregate prefixes in its advertisement
3c
3b
3a BGP message
2c
2a
AS2
AS3
1c 1d
other networks
other networks
1a AS1
1b
2b
Network Layer 4-116

BGP basics: distributing path information
v using eBGP session between 3a and 1c, AS3 sends prefix reachability info to AS1.
§ 1c can then use iBGP do distribute new prefix info to all routers in AS1
§ 1b can then re-advertise new reachability info to AS2 over 1b-to- 2a eBGP session
v when router learns of new prefix, it creates entry for prefix in its forwarding table.

AS3 1c
1a AS1 1d

Path attributes and BGP routes
v advertised prefix includes BGP attributes § prefix + attributes = “route”
v two important attributes:
§ AS-PATH: contains ASs through which prefix
advertisement has passed: e.g., AS 67, AS 17
§ NEXT-HOP: indicates specific internal-AS router to next- hop AS. (may be multiple links from current AS to next- hop- AS)
v gateway router receiving route advertisement uses import policy to accept/decline
§ e.g., never route through AS x § policy-based routing
Network Layer 4-118

BGP route selection
v router may learn about more than 1 route to destination AS, selects route based on:
1. local preference value attribute: policy decision
2. shortest AS-PATH
3. closest NEXT-HOP router: hot potato routing
4. additional criteria
Network Layer 4-119

BGP messages
v BGP messages exchanged between peers over TCP connection
v BGP messages:
§ OPEN: opens TCP connection to peer and authenticates
sender
§UPDATE:advertisesnewpath(orwithdrawsold)
§ KEEPALIVE: keeps connection alive in absence of UPDATES; also ACKs OPEN request
§ NO TIFICA TION: reports errors in previous msg; also used to close connection

provider network
customer network:
v A,B,C are provider networks
v X,W,Y are customer (of provider networks) v X is dual-homed: attached to two networks
§ X does not want to route from B via X to C §..so X will not advertise to B a route to C
Network Layer 4-121

BGP routing policy (2)

Y
v B advertises path BAW to X
provider network
customer network:
W
B
A
C
v A advertises path AW to B
v Should B advertise path BAW to C?
§ No way! B gets no “revenue” for routing CBAW since neither W nor
C are B’s customers
§ B wants to force C to route to w via A
§ B wants to route only to/from its customers!
Network Layer 4-122

Why different Intra-, Inter-AS routing ?
policy:
v inter-AS: admin wants control over how its traffic routed, who routes through its net.
v intra-AS: single admin, so no policy decisions needed scale:
v hierarchical routing saves table size, reduced update traffic
performance:
v intra-AS: can focus on performance
v inter-AS: policy may dominate over performance
