Network Layer 1

Network Layer Chapter goals: Overview: r understand principles r network layer services behind network layer services: m m routing (path selection) dealing with scale how a router works advanced topics: IPv 6, multicast r instantiation and implementation in the Internet r routing principle: path selection r hierarchical routing r IP r Internet routing protocols reliable transfer m m intra-domain inter-domain r what’s inside a router? r IPv 6 r multicast routing 4: Network Layer 4 a-2

Network layer functions r transport packet from sending to receiving hosts r network layer protocols in every host, router three important functions: r path determination: route taken by packets from source to dest. Routing algorithms r switching: move packets from router’s input to appropriate router output r call setup: some network architectures require router call setup along path before data flows application transport network data link physical network data link physical network data link physical application transport network data link physical 4: Network Layer 4 a-3

Network service model service abstraction Q: What service model for “channel” transporting packets from sender to receiver? r guaranteed bandwidth? r preservation of inter-packet timing (no jitter)? r loss-free delivery? r in-order delivery? r congestion feedback to sender? The most important abstraction provided by network layer: ? ? ? virtual circuit or datagram? 4: Network Layer 4 a-4

Virtual circuits “source-to-dest path behaves much like telephone circuit” m m performance-wise network actions along source-to-dest path r call setup, teardown for each call before data can flow r each packet carries VC identifier (not destination host OD) r every router on source-dest path s maintain “state” for each passing connection m transport-layer connection only involved two end systems r link, router resources (bandwidth, buffers) may be allocated to VC m to get circuit-like perf. 4: Network Layer 4 a-5

Virtual circuits: signaling protocols r used to setup, maintain teardown VC r used in ATM, frame-relay, X. 25 r not used in today’s Internet application transport 5. Data flow begins network 4. Call connected data link 1. Initiate call physical 6. Receive data application 3. Accept call transport 2. incoming call network data link physical 4: Network Layer 4 a-6

Datagram networks: the Internet model r no call setup at network layer r routers: no state about end-to-end connections m no network-level concept of “connection” r packets typically routed using destination host ID m packets between same source-dest pair may take different paths application transport network data link 1. Send data physical application transport 2. Receive data network data link physical 4: Network Layer 4 a-7

Network layer service models: Network Architecture Internet Service Model Guarantees ? Congestion Bandwidth Loss Order Timing feedback best effort none ATM CBR ATM VBR ATM ABR ATM UBR constant rate guaranteed minimum none no no no yes yes yes no no (inferred via loss) no congestion yes no no r Internet model being extented: Intserv, Diffserv m Chapter 6 4: Network Layer 4 a-8

Datagram or VC network: why? Internet r data exchange among ATM r evolved from telephony computers r human conversation: m “elastic” service, no strict m strict timing, reliability timing requirements r “smart” end systems m need for guaranteed (computers) service m can adapt, perform r “dumb” end systems control, error recovery m telephones m simple inside network, m complexity inside complexity at “edge” network r many link types m different characteristics m uniform service difficult 4: Network Layer 4 a-9

Routing protocol 5 Goal: determine “good” path (sequence of routers) thru network from source to dest. Graph abstraction for routing algorithms: r graph nodes are routers r graph edges are physical links m link cost: delay, $ cost, or congestion level 2 A B 2 1 D 3 C 3 1 5 F 1 E 2 r “good” path: m typically means minimum cost path m other def’s possible 4: Network Layer 4 a-10

Routing Algorithm classification Global or decentralized information? Global: r all routers have complete topology, link cost info r “link state” algorithms Decentralized: r router knows physicallyconnected neighbors, link costs to neighbors r iterative process of computation, exchange of info with neighbors r “distance vector” algorithms Static or dynamic? Static: r routes change slowly over time Dynamic: r routes change more quickly m periodic update m in response to link cost changes 4: Network Layer 4 a-11

A Link-State Routing Algorithm Dijkstra’s algorithm r net topology, link costs known to all nodes m accomplished via “link state broadcast” m all nodes have same info r computes least cost paths from one node (‘source”) to all other nodes m gives routing table for that node r iterative: after k iterations, know least cost path to k dest. ’s Notation: r c(i, j): link cost from node i to j. cost infinite if not direct neighbors r D(v): current value of cost of path from source to dest. V r p(v): predecessor node along path from source to v, that is next v r N: set of nodes whose least cost path definitively known 4: Network Layer 4 a-12

Dijsktra’s Algorithm 1 Initialization: 2 N = {A}; 3 for all nodes v 4 if v adjacent to A 5 then D(v) = c(A, v); P(v) = A; 6 else D(v) = infty; P(v) = NULL; 7 8 Loop 9 find w not in N such that D(w) is a minimum; 10 add w to N; 11 update D(v) for all v adjacent to w and not in N: 12 if D(v) > D(w) + c(w, v) 13 then D(v) = D(w) + c(w, v) ; P(v) = w; 13 /*new cost to v is either old cost to v or known 14 shortest path cost to w plus cost from w to v */ 15 until all nodes in N 4: Network Layer 4 a-13

Distance Vector Routing Algorithm iterative: r continues until no nodes exchange info. r self-terminating: no “signal” to stop asynchronous: r nodes need not exchange info/iterate in lock step! distributed: r each node communicates only with directly-attached neighbors Distance Table data structure r each node has its own r row for each possible destination r column for each directly- attached neighbor to node r example: in node X, for dest. Y via neighbor Z: X D (Y, Z) distance from X to = Y, via Z as next hop Z = c(X, Z) + minw{D (Y, w)} 4: Network Layer 4 a-16

Distance Vector Routing: overview Iterative, asynchronous: each local iteration caused by: r local link cost change r message from neighbor: its least cost path change from neighbor Distributed: r each node notifies neighbors only when its least cost path to any destination changes m neighbors then notify their neighbors if necessary Each node: wait for (change in local link cost of msg from neighbor) recompute distance table if least cost path to any dest has changed, notify neighbors 4: Network Layer 4 a-19

Distance Vector Algorithm: At all nodes, X: 1 Initialization: 2 for all adjacent nodes v: 3 DX(*, v) = infty /* the * operator means "for all rows" */ X 4 D (v, v) = c(X, v) 5 for all destinations, y X 6 send min D (y, w) to each neighbor /* w over all X's neighbors */ w 4: Network Layer 4 a-20

Distance Vector Algorithm (cont. ): 8 loop 9 wait (until I see a link cost change to neighbor V 10 or until I receive update from neighbor V) 11 12 if (c(X, V) changes by d) 13 /* change cost to all dest's via neighbor v by d */ 14 /* note: d could be positive or negative */ 15 for all destinations y: DX(y, V) = DX(y, V) + d 16 17 else if (update received from V wrt destination Y) 18 /* shortest path from V to some Y has changed */ 19 /* V has sent a new value for its minw DV(Y, w) */ 20 /* call this received new value is "newval" */ 21 for the single destination y: DX(Y, V) = c(X, V) + newval 22 23 if we have a new minw DX(Y, w)for any destination Y 24 send new value of min w DX(Y, w) to all neighbors 25 4: Network Layer 26 forever 4 a-21

Distance Vector: link cost changes Link cost changes: r node detects local link cost change r updates distance table (line 15) r if cost change in least cost path, notify neighbors (lines 23, 24) “good news travels fast” 1 X 4 Y 50 1 Z algorithm terminates 4: Network Layer 4 a-24

Distance Vector: link cost changes Link cost changes: r good news travels fast r bad news travels slow - “count to infinity” problem! 60 X 4 Y 50 1 Z algorithm continues on! 4: Network Layer 4 a-25

Distance Vector: poisoned reverse If Z routes through Y to get to X : r Z tells Y its (Z’s) distance to X is infinite (so Y won’t route to X via Z) r will this completely solve count to infinity problem? 60 X 4 Y 50 1 Z algorithm terminates 4: Network Layer 4 a-26

E) msgs m may have oscillations r DV: convergence time varies m may be routing loops m count-to-infinity problem Robustness: what happens if router malfunctions? LS: m m node can advertise incorrect link cost each node computes only its own table DV: m m DV node can advertise incorrect path cost each node’s table used by others • error propagate thru network 4: Network Layer 4 a-27

Hierarchical OSPF 4: Network Layer 4 b-61

Hierarchical OSPF r Two-level hierarchy: local area, backbone. m Link-state advertisements only in area m each nodes has detailed area topology; only know direction (shortest path) to nets in other areas. r Area border routers: “summarize” distances to nets in own area, advertise to other Area Border routers. r Backbone routers: run OSPF routing limited to backbone. r Boundary routers: connect to other ASs. 4: Network Layer 4 b-62

IGRP (Interior Gateway Routing Protocol) r CISCO proprietary; successor of RIP (mid 80 s) r Distance Vector, like RIP r several cost metrics (delay, bandwidth, reliability, load etc) r uses TCP to exchange routing updates r Loop-free routing via Distributed Updating Alg. (DUAL) based on diffused computation 4: Network Layer 4 b-63

Inter-AS routing 4: Network Layer 4 b-64

Internet inter-AS routing: BGP r BGP (Border Gateway Protocol): the de facto standard r Path Vector protocol: m similar to Distance Vector protocol m each Border Gateway broadcast to neighbors (peers) entire path (I. e, sequence of ASs) to destination m E. g. , Gateway X may send its path to dest. Z: Path (X, Z) = X, Y 1, Y 2, Y 3, …, Z 4: Network Layer 4 b-65

Internet inter-AS routing: BGP Suppose: gateway X send its path to peer gateway W r W may or may not select path offered by X m cost, policy (don’t route via competitors AS), loop prevention reasons. r If W selects path advertised by X, then: Path (W, Z) = w, Path (X, Z) r Note: X can control incoming traffic by controling it route advertisements to peers: m e. g. , don’t want to route traffic to Z -> don’t advertise any routes to Z 4: Network Layer 4 b-66

Internet inter-AS routing: BGP r BGP messages exchanged using TCP. r BGP messages: m OPEN: opens TCP connection to peer and authenticates sender m UPDATE: advertises new path (or withdraws old) m KEEPALIVE keeps connection alive in absence of UPDATES; also ACKs OPEN request m NOTIFICATION: reports errors in previous msg; also used to close connection 4: Network Layer 4 b-67

Why different Intra- and Inter-AS routing ? Policy: r Inter-AS: admin wants control over how its traffic routed, who routes through its net. r Intra-AS: single admin, so no policy decisions needed Scale: r hierarchical routing saves table size, reduced update traffic Performance: r Intra-AS: can focus on performance r Inter-AS: policy may dominate over performance 4: Network Layer 4 b-68

Router Architecture Overview Two key router functions: r run routing algorithms/protocol (RIP, OSPF, BGP) r switching datagrams from incoming to outgoing link 4: Network Layer 4 b-69

Input Port Functions Physical layer: bit-level reception Data link layer: e. g. , Ethernet see chapter 5 Decentralized switching: r given datagram dest. , lookup output port using routing 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 4: Network Layer 4 b-70

Input Port Queuing r Fabric slower that 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! 4: Network Layer 4 b-71

Three types of switching fabrics 4: Network Layer 4 b-72

Switching Via Memory First generation routers: r packet copied by system’s (single) CPU r speed limited by memory bandwidth (2 bus crossings per datagram) Input Port Memory Output Port System Bus Modern routers: r input port processor performs lookup, copy into memory r Cisco Catalyst 8500 4: Network Layer 4 b-73

Switching Via Bus r datagram from input port memory to output port memory via a shared bus r bus contention: switching speed limited by bus bandwidth r 1 Gbps bus, Cisco 1900: sufficient speed for access and enterprise routers (not regional or backbone) 4: Network Layer 4 b-74

Switching Via An Interconnection Network r overcome bus bandwidth limitations r Banyan networks, other interconnection nets initially developed to connect processors in multiprocessor r Advanced design: fragmenting datagram into fixed length cells, switch cells through the fabric. r Cisco 12000: switches Gbps through the interconnection network 4: Network Layer 4 b-75

Output Ports r Buffering required when datagrams arrive from fabric faster than the transmission rate r Scheduling discipline chooses among queued datagrams for transmission 4: Network Layer 4 b-76

Output port queueing r buffering when arrival rate via switch exceeeds ouput line speed r queueing (delay) and loss due to output port buffer overflow! 4: Network Layer 4 b-77

IPv 6 r Initial motivation: 32 -bit address space completely allocated by 2008. r Additional motivation: m header format helps speed processing/forwarding m header changes to facilitate Qo. S m new “anycast” address: route to “best” of several replicated servers r IPv 6 datagram format: m fixed-length 40 byte header m no fragmentation allowed 4: Network Layer 4 b-78

IPv 6 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 4: Network Layer 4 b-79

Other Changes from IPv 4 r Checksum: removed entirely to reduce processing time at each hop r Options: allowed, but outside of header, indicated by “Next Header” field r ICMPv 6: new version of ICMP m additional message types, e. g. “Packet Too Big” m multicast group management functions 4: Network Layer 4 b-80

Transition From IPv 4 To IPv 6 r Not all routers can be upgraded simultaneous m no “flag days” m How will the network operate with mixed IPv 4 and IPv 6 routers? r Two proposed approaches: m Dual Stack: some routers with dual stack (v 6, v 4) can “translate” between formats m Tunneling: IPv 6 carried as payload n IPv 4 datagram among IPv 4 routers 4: Network Layer 4 b-81

Dual Stack Approach 4: Network Layer 4 b-82

Tunneling IPv 6 inside IPv 4 where needed 4: Network Layer 4 b-83

Distance Vector Routing: overview Iterative, asynchronous: each local iteration caused by: r local link cost change r message from neighbor: its least cost path change from neighbor Distributed: r each node notifies neighbors only when its least cost path to any destination changes m neighbors then notify their neighbors if necessary Each node: wait for (change in local link cost of msg from neighbor) recompute distance table if least cost path to any dest has changed, notify neighbors 4: Network Layer 4 a-89
