Network layer connection and connection-less service

Datagram network provides network-layer connectionless service

VC network provides network-layer connection service

Virtual circuits

each packet carries VC identifier (not destination host address)

every router on source-dest path maintains “state” for each passing connection

link, router resources (bandwidth, buffers) may be allocated to VC (dedicated resources = predictable service)

“source-to-dest path behaves like a telephone circuit” performance benefits network actions along source-to-dest path

ROUTER ARCHITECTURE OVERVIEW

Two key router functions: run routing algorithms/protocol (RIP, OSPF, BGP) forwarding datagrams from incoming to outgoing link

THE INTERNET NETWORK LAYERHost, router network layer functions:

forwardingtable

Routing protocols•path selection•RIP, OSPF, BGP

IP protocol•addressing conventions•datagram format•packet handling conventions

ICMP protocol•error reporting•router “signaling”

IP FRAGMENTATION & REASSEMBLY

Network links have MTU (max.transfer size) largest possible link-level

frame. 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

What is a subnet ? device interfaces with same subnet part of IP address can physically reach each other without intervening

Subnets

To determine the subnets, detach each interface from its host or router, creating islands of isolated networks. Each isolated network is called a subnet.

IP ADDRESSES: HOW TO GET ONE?

Q: How does a host get IP address?

Hard-coded by system admin in a file Windows: control-panel->network->configuration->tcp/ip-

>properties UNIX: /etc/rc.config

DHCP: Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol: dynamically get address from a server “plug-and-play”

DHCP: Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol

Goal: allow host to dynamically obtain its IP address from network server when it joins network Allows reuse of addresses

rest ofInternet

Datagrams with source or destination in this networkhave 10.0.0/24 address for

source, destination (as usual)

All datagrams leaving localnetwork have same single source

NAT IP address: 138.76.29.7,different source port numbers


Motivation: local network uses just one IP address as far as outside world is concerned:

Only one IP address for all devices Can change addresses of devices in LAN 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).
