Network Layer 4-2

Switching Networks

Long distance transmission is typically done over a network of switched nodes

Nodes not concerned with content of data

End devices are stations Computer, terminal, phone, etc.

A collection of nodes and connections is a communications network

Data routed by being switched from node to node

Network Layer 4-3

Technology

Two different switching technologies Circuit switching Packet switching

Network Layer 4-4

Simple Switched Network

Network Layer 4-5

Circuit Switching

Dedicated communication path between two stations (during conversation)

Three phases Establish Transfer Disconnect

Must have switching capacity and channel capacity to establish connection

Must have intelligence to work out routing

Network Layer 4-6

Circuit Switching - Issues

Circuit switching is inefficient (designed for voice) Resources dedicated to a particular call Much of the time a data connection is idle Data rate is fixed

• Both ends must operate at the same rate

Set up (connection) takes time Once connected, transfer is transparent

Network Layer 4-7

Packet Switching

Network Layer 4-8

Basic Operation

Data transmitted in small packets Typically 1000 octets Longer messages split into series of packets Each packet contains a portion of user data

plus some control info Control info

Routing (addressing) info Packets are received, stored briefly

(buffered) and passed on to the next node Store and forward

Network Layer 4-9

Use of Packets

Network Layer 4-10

Network layer transport segment from sending to receiving

host on sending side encapsulates segments into

datagrams on rcving side, delivers segments to transport

layer network layer protocols in every host, router Router examines header fields in all IP

datagrams passing through it

Key Network-Layer Functions

forwarding: move packets from router’s input to appropriate router output

routing: determine route taken by packets from source to dest.

Routing algorithms

analogy:

routing: process of planning trip from source to dest

forwarding: process of getting through single interchange

Interplay between routing and forwarding

Network Layer 4-13

Connection setup

3rd important function in some network architectures: ATM, frame relay, X.25

Before datagrams flow, two hosts and intervening routers establish virtual connection Routers get involved

Network and transport layer cnctn service: Network: between two hosts Transport: between two processes

Network Layer 4-14

Network service model

Q: What service model for “channel” transporting datagrams from sender to rcvr?

Example services for individual datagrams:

guaranteed delivery Guaranteed delivery

with less than 40 msec delay

Example services for a flow of datagrams:

In-order datagram delivery

Guaranteed minimum bandwidth to flow

Restrictions on changes in inter-packet spacing

Network Layer 4-16

Virtual circuit vs. datagram networks

Network Layer 4-17

Network layer connection and connection-less service

Datagram network provides network-layer connectionless service

VC network provides network-layer connection service

Analogous to the transport-layer services, but: Service: host-to-host No choice: network provides one or the

other Implementation: in the core

Network Layer 4-18

Virtual circuits

call setup, teardown for each call before data can flow 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

“source-to-dest path behaves much like telephone circuit” performance-wise network actions along source-to-dest path

Network Layer 4-19

VC implementation

A VC consists of:1. Path from source to destination2. VC numbers, one number for each link along

path3. Entries in forwarding tables in routers along

path Packet belonging to VC carries a VC

number. VC number must be changed on each

link. New VC number comes from forwarding table

Network Layer 4-22

Datagram networks no call setup at network layer routers: no state about end-to-end connections

no network-level concept of “connection”

packets forwarded using destination host address packets between same source-dest pair may take

different paths

Which interface?

Network Layer 4-25

Datagram or VC network: why?

Internet data exchange among

computers “elastic” service, no

strict timing req. “smart” end systems

(computers) can adapt, perform

control, error recovery simple inside network,

complexity at “edge” many link types

different characteristics uniform service difficult

ATM evolved from telephony human conversation:

strict timing, reliability requirements

need for guaranteed service

“dumb” end systems telephones complexity inside

network

IP Fragmentation & Reassembly network links have MTU

(max.transfer size) - largest possible link-level frame. different link types,

different MTUs 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 datagramout: 3 smaller datagrams

local network(e.g., home network)

10.0.0/24

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

Network Layer 4-37


Motivation: local network uses just one IP address as far as outside word is concerned: no need to be allocated range of addresses from

ISP: - just one IP address is used 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 4-38


Implementation: NAT 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 NAT translation table) every (source IP address, port #) to (NAT IP address, new port #) translation pair

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

16-bit port-number field: 60,000 simultaneous connections with a

single LAN-side address! NAT is controversial:

routers should only process up to layer 3 violates end-to-end argument

• NAT possibility must be taken into account by app designers, eg, P2P applications

address shortage should instead be solved by IPv6
