Physical Media

physical link: transmitted data bit propagates across link

guided media: signals propagate in

solid media: copper, fiber

unguided media: signals propagate

freely, e.g., radio

Twisted Pair (TP) two insulated copper

wires Category 3: traditional

phone wires, 10 Mbps ethernet

Category 5 TP: 100Mbps ethernet

Physical Media: coax, fiber

Coaxial cable: wire (signal carrier)

within a wire (shield) baseband: single

channel on cable broadband: multiple

channel on cable

bidirectional common use in

10Mbs Ethernet

Fiber optic cable: glass fiber carrying

light pulses high-speed operation:

100Mbps Ethernet high-speed point-to-

point transmission (eg, 40 Gps)

very low error rate


4

Physical media: Wireless

signal carried in electromagnetic spectrum

no physical “wire” bidirectional propagation

environment effects: reflection obstruction by objects interference

Wireless link types: Microwave (directional)

e.g. up to 45 Mbps channels

LAN/Wifi (e.g., 802.11b/g) 11/54 Mbps

wide-area (e.g., cellular) e.g. CDPD, 10’s Kbps 3G ~ 2.4 Mbps

Satellite up to 50Mbps channel

• multiple smaller channels 270 Msec end-end delay geosynchronous versus LEOS

(low earth orbit)

correction sharing a broadcast

Link layer: Context

Data-link layer has responsibility of transferring datagram from one node to another node over a link

Datagram transferred by different link protocols over different links, e.g., Ethernet on first link, frame relay on

intermediate links 802.11 on last link

transportation analogy

trip from New Haven to San Francisco taxi: home to union

station train: union station

to JFK plane: JFK to San

Francisco airport shuttle: airport to

hotel


10

Link Layer Services Framing, link access:

encapsulate datagram into frame, adding header, trailer

implement channel access if shared medium, ‘physical addresses’ used in frame headers to identify

source, destination • different from IP address!

Reliable delivery between two physically connected devices: seldom used on low bit error link

• E.g., fiber, twisted pair wireless links: high error rates

• Q: why both link-level and end-end reliability?


11

Link Layer Services (more)

Flow Control: pacing between sender and receivers

Error Detection: errors caused by signal attenuation, noise. receiver detects presence of errors:

• signals sender for retransmission or drops frame

Error Correction: receiver identifies and corrects bit error(s)

without resorting to retransmission


12

Adaptors Communicating

link layer implemented in “adaptor” (aka NIC) Ethernet card,

modem, 802.11 card

adapter is semi-autonomous, implementing link & physical layers

sending side: encapsulates datagram

in a frame adds error checking bits,

rdt, flow control, etc.

receiving side looks for errors, rdt, flow

control, etc extracts datagram,

passes to receiving node

Error DetectionEDC= Error Detection and Correction bits (redundancy)D = Data protected by error checking, may include header fields

• Error detection not 100% reliable! Q: why?• protocol may miss some errors, but rarely• larger EDC field yields better detection and correction


15

Parity Checking

Single Bit Parity:Detect single bit errors

Two Dimensional Bit Parity:Detect and correct single bit errors

0 0

Parity bit=1 iffNumber of 1’s even


16

Internet checksum

Sender: treat segment contents

as sequence of 16-bit integers

checksum: addition (1’s complement sum) of segment contents

sender puts checksum value into UDP checksum field

Receiver: compute checksum of received

segment check if computed checksum

equals checksum field value: NO - error detected YES - no error detected.

But maybe errors nonetheless?

Goal: detect “errors” (e.g., flipped bits) in transmitted segment (note: used at transport layer only)


17

Checksumming: Cyclic Redundancy Check view data bits, D, as a binary number choose r+1 bit pattern (generator), G goal: choose r CRC bits, R, such that

<D,R> exactly divisible by G (modulo 2) receiver knows G, divides <D,R> by G. If non-zero

remainder: error detected! can detect all burst errors less than r+1 bits

widely used in practice (ATM, HDCL)


18

CRC ExampleWant:

D.2r XOR R = nGequivalently:

D.2r = nG XOR R equivalently: if we divide D.2r by

G, want remainder R

R = remainder[ ]D.2r

G


19

Example G(x)

16 bits CRC: CRC-16: x16+x15+x2+1,

CRC-CCITT: x16+x12+x5+1 both can catch

• all single or double bit errors• all odd number of bit errors• all burst errors of length 16

or less• >99.99% of the 17 or 18 bits

burst errors

Multiple Access Links and Protocols

Three types of “links”: point-to-point (single wire, e.g. PPP, SLIP) broadcast (shared wire or medium; e.g,

Ethernet, Wavelan, etc.)

switched (e.g., switched Ethernet, ATM etc)


21

Multiple Access protocols single shared communication channel two or more simultaneous transmissions by nodes:

interference only one node can send successfully at a time

multiple access protocol: distributed algorithm that determines how stations share

channel, i.e., determine when station can transmit communication about channel sharing must use channel itself! what to look for in multiple access protocols:

• synchronous or asynchronous • information needed about other stations • robustness (e.g., to channel errors) • performance


22

Multiple Access protocols

claim: humans use multiple access protocols all the time

class can "guess" multiple access protocols multiaccess protocol 1: multiaccess protocol 2: multiaccess protocol 3: multiaccess protocol 4:


23

MAC Protocols: a taxonomy

Three broad classes: Channel Partitioning

divide channel into smaller “pieces” (time slots, frequency)

allocate piece to node for exclusive use

Random Access allow collisions “recover” from collisions

“Taking turns” tightly coordinate shared access to avoid collisions

Goal: efficient, fair, simple, decentralized


24

MAC Protocols: Measures

Channel Rate = R bps Efficient:

Single user: Throughput R Fairness

N usersMin. user throughput R/N

Decentralized Fault tolerance

Simple


25

Channel Partitioning MAC protocols: TDMA

TDMA: time division multiple access access to channel in "rounds" each station gets fixed length slot (length = pkt trans time) in each round unused slots go idle example: 6-station LAN, 1,3,4 have pkt, slots 2,5,6 idle

TDM (Time Division Multiplexing): channel divided into N time slots, one per user; inefficient with low duty cycle users and at light load.

FDM (Frequency Division Multiplexing): frequency subdivided.


26

Channel Partitioning MAC protocols: FDMA

FDMA: frequency division multiple access channel spectrum divided into frequency bands each station assigned fixed frequency band unused transmission time in frequency bands go idle example: 6-station LAN, 1,3,4 have pkt, frequency bands 2,5,6 idle

TDM (Time Division Multiplexing): channel divided into N time slots, one per user; inefficient with low duty cycle users and at light load.

FDM (Frequency Division Multiplexing): frequency subdivided.

28

Channel Partitioning (CDMA)

CDMA (Code Division Multiple Access) Each bit represented by several “chips” (“bits”) unique “code” assigned to each user; ie, code set

partitioning used mostly in wireless broadcast channels (cellular,

satellite, etc) all users share same frequency, but each user has own

“chipping” sequence (ie, code) to encode data encoded signal = (original data) X (chipping sequence) decoding: inner-product of encoded signal and chipping

sequence allows multiple users to “coexist” and transmit

simultaneously with minimal interference (if codes are almost “orthogonal”)


29

CDMA - Basics Orthonormal codes:

<ci,cj> =0 i≠j <ci,ci> =1

Encoding at user i: Bit 1 send +ci

Bit 0 send -ci

Decoding (at user i): Receive a vector ri

Compute t=<ri,ci> If t=1 THEN bit=1 If t=-1 THEN bit=0

Correctness of decoding Single user Multiple users

• Assume additive channel.• R = c1 – c2

• Output <R,c1> = <c1,c1> + <-c2,c1> = 1 + 0 = 1

Q: is there a benefit with orthogonal codes?

In practice use “almost orthogonal”


30

CDMA Encode/Decode


31

CDMA: two-sender interference


32

Random Access protocols

When node has packet to send transmit at full channel data rate R. no a priori coordination among nodes

two or more transmitting nodes -> “collision”, random access MAC protocol specifies:

how to detect collisions how to recover from collisions (e.g., via delayed

retransmissions)

Examples of random access MAC protocols: slotted ALOHA ALOHA CSMA and CSMA/CD


33

Slotted Aloha [Norm Abramson]

time is divided into equal size slots (= pkt trans. time)

node with new arriving pkt: transmit at beginning of next slot

if collision: retransmit pkt in future slots with probability p, until successful.

Success (S), Collision (C), Empty (E) slots


34

Slotted Aloha efficiencyQ: what is max fraction slots successful?A: Suppose N stations have packets to send

each transmits in slot with probability p prob. successful transmission S is:

by single node: S= p (1-p)(N-1)

by any of N nodes

S = Prob (only one transmits) = N p (1-p)(N-1)

… choosing optimum p =1/N

as N -> infinity ...

S≈ 1/e = .37 as N -> infinity

At best: channeluse for useful transmissions 37%of time!

Slotted Aloha

when pN < 1, as p (or N) increases probability of empty slots reduces probability of collision is still low, thus goodput increases

when pN > 1, as p (or N) increases, probability of empty slots does not reduce much, but probability of collision increases, thus goodput decreases

goodput is optimal when pN = 1

Now fix p (algorithm) And N may vary over time

Pure (unslotted) ALOHA unslotted Aloha: simpler, no synchronization pkt needs transmission:

send without awaiting for beginning of slot

collision probability increases: pkt sent at t0 collide with other pkts sent in [t0-1,

t0+1]

CSMA: Carrier Sense Multiple Access

CSMA: listen before transmit: If channel sensed idle: transmit entire pkt If channel sensed busy, defer transmission

Persistent CSMA: retry immediately with probability p when channel becomes idle

Non-persistent CSMA: retry after random interval human analogy: don’t interrupt others!


44

CSMA collisions

collisions can occur:propagation delay means two nodes may not yethear each other’s transmissioncollision:entire packet transmission time wasted

spatial layout of nodes along Ethernet

CSMA/CD: Collision Detection

instead of wasting the whole packettransmission time, abort after detection.


46

CSMA/CD (Collision Detection)CSMA/CD: carrier sensing, deferral as in CSMA

collisions detected within short time colliding transmissions aborted, reducing channel

wastage persistent or non-persistent retransmission

collision detection: easy in wired LANs: measure signal strengths,

compare transmitted, received signals difficult in wireless LANs: receiver shut off while

transmitting human analogy: the polite conversationalist


47

CSMA/CD collision detection


48

Efficiency of CSMA/CD Given collision detection, instead of wasting the

whole packet transmission time (a slot), we waste only the time needed to detect collision.

Use a contention slot of 2 T, where T is one-way propagation delay (why 2 T ?)

When the transmission probability p is approximately optimal (p = 1/N), we try approximately e times before each successful transmission

P/C

P: packet size, e.g. 1000 bitsC: link capacity, e.g. 10Mbps


49

Efficiency of CSMA/CD The efficiency (the percentage of useful time) is

approximately

The value of a plays a fundamental role in the efficiency of CSMA/CD protocols.

Question: you want to increase the capacity of a link layer technology (e.g., , 10 Mbps Ethernet to 100 Mbps, but still want to maintain the same efficiency, what do you do?

“Taking Turns” MAC protocolschannel partitioning MAC protocols:

share channel efficiently at high load inefficient at low load: delay in channel

access, 1/N bandwidth allocated even if only 1 active node!

Random access MAC protocols efficient at low load: single node can fully

utilize channel high load: collision overhead

“taking turns” protocolslook for best of both worlds!


52

“Taking Turns” MAC protocolsPolling: master node

“invites” slave nodes to transmit in turn

Request to Send, Clear to Send msgs

concerns: polling overhead latency single point of

failure (master)

Token passing: control token passed

from one node to next sequentially.

token message concerns:

token overhead latency single point of failure

(token)


53

Reservation-based protocolsDistributed Polling: time divided into slots begins with N short reservation slots

reservation slot time equal to channel end-end propagation delay

station with message to send posts reservation reservation seen by all stations

after reservation slots, message transmissions ordered by

known priority


54

Summary of MAC protocols

What do you do with a shared media? Channel Partitioning, by time, frequency or

code• Time Division,Code Division, Frequency Division

Random partitioning (dynamic), • ALOHA, S-ALOHA, CSMA, CSMA/CD• carrier sensing: easy in some technologies (wire),

hard in others (wireless)• CSMA/CD used in Ethernet

Taking Turns• polling from a central cite, token passing• Popular in cellular 3G/4G networks where

base station is the master


55

LAN technologies

Data link layer so far: services, error detection/correction, multiple

access

Next: LAN technologies addressing Ethernet hubs, bridges, switches 802.11 PPP ATM


56

LAN Addresses

32-bit IP address: network-layer address used to get datagram to destination network

LAN (or MAC or physical) address: used to get datagram from one interface to

another physically-connected interface (same network)

48 bit MAC address (for most LANs) burned in the adapter ROM


57

LAN AddressesEach adapter on LAN has unique LAN address


58

LAN Address (more)

MAC address allocation administered by IEEE manufacturer buys portion of MAC address space

(to assure uniqueness) Analogy: (a) MAC address: like ID number תעודת זהות

(b) IP address: like postal address כתובת מגורים MAC flat address => portability

can move LAN card from one LAN to another

IP hierarchical address NOT portable depends on network to which one attaches

ARP protocol translates IP address to MAC address


59

Comparison of IP address and MAC Address

IP address is hierarchical for routing scalability

IP address needs to be globally unique (if no NAT)

IP address depends on IP network to which an interface is attached NOT portable

MAC address is flat

MAC address does not need to be globally unique, but the current assignment ensures uniqueness

MAC address is assigned to a device portable


60

ARP: Address Resolution Protocol

Each IP node (Host, Router) on LAN has ARP table

ARP Table: IP/MAC address mappings for some LAN nodes

< IP address; MAC address; TTL> TTL (Time To Live): time

after which address mapping will be forgotten (typically 20 min)

61

ARP Protocol

ARP is “plug-and-play”: nodes create their ARP tables without

intervention from net administrator

A broadcast protocol: A broadcasts query frame, containing

queried IP address • all machines on LAN receive ARP query

destination D receives ARP frame, replies• frame sent to A’s MAC address (unicast)


62

Ethernet“dominant” LAN technology: cheap $5-10 for 10/100/1000 Mbs! first widely used LAN technology Simpler, cheaper than token LANs and ATM Kept up with speed race: 1, 10, 100, 1000 Mbps

Metcalfe’s Etheretsketch


63

Ethernet Frame Structure

Sending adapter encapsulates IP datagram (or other network layer protocol packet) in Ethernet frame

Preamble: 7 bytes with pattern 10101010 followed by one

byte with pattern 10101011 used to synchronize receiver, sender clock

rates


64

Ethernet Frame Structure (more) Addresses: 6 bytes, frame is received by all

adapters on a LAN and dropped if address does not match

Type: indicates the higher layer protocol mostly IP but others may be supported (such as

Novell IPX and AppleTalk)

CRC: checked at receiver, if error is detected, the frame is simply dropped


65

Ethernet: uses CSMA/CD

A: sense channel, if idle then {

transmit and monitor the channel; If detect another transmission then { abort and send jam signal;

update # collisions; delay as required by exponential backoff algorithm; goto A}

else {done with the frame; set collisions to zero}}

else {wait until ongoing transmission is over and goto A}


66

Ethernet’s CSMA/CD (more)

Jam Signal: make sure all other transmitters are aware of collision; 48 bits;

Exponential Backoff: Goal: adapt retransmission attempts to

estimated current load heavy load: random wait will be longer

first collision: choose K from {0,1}; delay is K x 512 bit transmission times

after n-th collision: choose K from {0,1,…, 2n-1} after ten or more collisions, choose K from

{0,1,2,3,4,…,1023}


67

Exponential Backoff (simplified)

N users Interval of size 2n

Prob Node/slot is 1/2n

Prob of success N(1/2n)(1 – 1/2n)N-1

Average slot success N(1 – 1/2n)N-1

Intervals size: 1, 2, 4, 8, 16 … Fraction (out of N) of success:

2n = N/8 -> 0.03 % 2n = N/4 -> 2% 2n = N/2 -> 15% 2n = N -> 37 % 2n = 2N -> 60%


68

Ethernet Technologies: 10Base2 10: 10Mbps; 2: under 200 meters max cable length thin coaxial cable in a bus topology

repeaters used to connect up to multiple segments repeater repeats bits it hears on one interface to its other interfaces: physical layer device only!


69

10BaseT and 100BaseT

10/100 Mbps rate; latter called “fast ethernet” T stands for Twisted Pair Hub to which nodes are connected by twisted

pair, thus “star topology” (multi-port repeater) CSMA/CD implemented at hub


70

10BaseT and 100BaseT (more) Max distance from node to Hub is 100 meters Hub can disconnect “jabbering” adapter Hub can gather monitoring information,

statistics for display to LAN administrators


71

Gbit Ethernet

use standard Ethernet frame format allows for point-to-point links and shared

broadcast channels in shared mode, CSMA/CD is used; short

distances between nodes to be efficient uses hubs, called here “Buffered Distributors” Full-Duplex at 1 Gbps for point-to-point links

Wide area networks


72

Token Rings (IEEE 802.5) A ring topology is a single

unidirectional loop connecting a series of stations in sequence

Each bit is stored and forwarded by each station’s network interface


73

Token Ring: IEEE802.5 standard 4 Mbps (also 16 Mbps) max token holding time: 10 ms, limiting frame

length

SD, ED mark start, end of packet AC: access control byte:

token bit: value 0 means token can be seized, value 1 means data follows FC

priority bits: priority of packet reservation bits: station can write these bits to prevent

stations with lower priority packet from seizing token after token becomes free


74

Token Ring: IEEE802.5 standard

FC: frame control used for monitoring and maintenance

source, destination address: 48 bit physical address, as in Ethernet

data: packet from network layer checksum: CRC FS: frame status: set by dest., read by sender

set to indicate destination up, frame copied OK from ring
