Routing
 IP Routing – each router is supposed to
send each IP datagram one step closer to
its destination
 How do they do that?

Static Routing
• Hierarchical Routing – in ideal world would that be
enough?
Well its not an ideal world

Dynamic Routing
• Routers communicate amongst themselves to
determine good routes (ICMP redirect is a simple
example of this)
• Before we cover specific routing protocols we will
cover principles of dynamic routing protocols

4a-2
Routing Algorithm classification:
Static or Dynamic?
Choice 1: Static or dynamic?
Static:
 routes manually defined
 change slowly over time or only one possible route
 Appropriate in some circumstances, but obvious
drawbacks (routes added/removed? sharing load?)
 Not much more to say?
Dynamic:
 Routes learned by communicating with other routers
 routes change more quickly
 periodic update
 in response to link cost changes
4: Network Layer
4a-3
Routing Algorithm classification:
Global or decentralized?
Choice 2, if dynamic: global or decentralized
information?
Global:
 all routers have complete topology, link cost info
 “link state” algorithms
Decentralized:
 router knows physically-connected neighbors, link
costs to neighbors
 iterative process of computation, exchange of info
with neighbors (gossip)
 “distance vector” algorithms

(sequence of routers) thru
network from source to dest.
Graph abstraction for
routing algorithms:
 graph nodes are
routers
 graph edges are
physical links

A Link-State Routing Algorithm
Dijkstra’s algorithm
 Know complete network topology with link costs for
each link is known to all nodes
 accomplished via “link state broadcast”
 In theory, all nodes have same info
 Based on info from all other nodes, each node
individually computes least cost paths from one
node (“source”) to all other nodes
 gives routing table for that node
 iterative: after k iterations, know least cost path to
k dest.’s

Link State Algorithm:
Some Notation
Notation:
 c(i,j): link cost from node i to j. cost
infinite if not direct neighbors
 D(v): current value of cost of path from
source to dest. V
 n(v): next hop from this source to v along
the least cost path
 N: set of nodes whose least cost path
definitively known
4: Network Layer
4a-9
Dijsktra’s Algorithm
1 Initialization – know c(I,j) to start:
2 N = {A}
3 for all nodes v
4
if v adjacent to A
5
then D(v) = c(A,v)
6
else D(v) = infty
7
8 Loop
9 find w not in N such that D(w) is a minimum (optional?)
10 add w to N
11 update D(v) for all v adjacent to w and not in N:
12
D(v) = min( D(v), D(w) + c(w,v) )
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

Distance Vector Routing Algorithm
distributed:
 each node communicates only with directly-
attached neighbors
iterative:
 continues until no nodes exchange info.
 self-terminating: no “signal” to stop
asynchronous:
 nodes need not exchange info/iterate in lock
step!

Distance Table data structure
 each node has its own row for
each possible destination
 column for each directlyattached neighbor to node

Distance Vector Routing: overview
Iterative, asynchronous:
each local iteration caused
by:
 local link cost change
 message from neighbor: its
least cost path change
from neighbor
Distributed:
 each node notifies
neighbors only when its
least cost path to any
destination changes

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 4a-18
Distance Vector Algorithm:
At all nodes, X:
1 Initialization (don’t start knowing link costs for all links in graph):
2 for all adjacent nodes v:
3
D X(*,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
Then in steady state…
4: Network Layer 4a-19
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: D X(y,V) = D X(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 min w DV(Y,w) */
20 /* call this received new value is "newval" */
21 for the single destination y: D X(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 D X(Y,w) to all neighbors

X is infinite (so Y won’t route to X via
Z)

Count to Infinity Example with
Bigger Loop
B will learn bad news
C will have told B infinity because its route to A is
through B, so B won’t reroute through C
E however will have told B about a good route to A
through D (cost 6)
B will choose that route instead and advertise it as
the new best to C (cost 6+8 = 14); it will be worse
than the old one it advertised to C (old cost = 1)
C will propagate this updated “best” route to D
(cost 15)
D will propagate this new “best” route to E (cost
17)
E will update the “best” route to B (cost 19)
Last time it advertised cost 6 to B
It will loop around adding 13 each time (cost of
loop)
Will continue until cost E advertises to B is bigger
than 500


But want to be able to route around heavily
loaded links…
 Avoid “herding” effect
 Avoid
all routers recomputing at the same time
 Not enough to start them computing at a
different time because will synchronize over
time as send updates
 Deliberately introduce randomization into time
between when receive an update and when
compute a new route

 In distance vector algorithms, the installation of a looping route
slows down the convergence of the algorithm. Virtually all of the
modifications that have been made to distance vector routing
since 1969 (e.g., split horizon, poison reverse, etc., etc.) have
the same goal, to reduce the number of looping routes that are
installed, and hence to decrease the convergence time.
 In link state algorithms, the convergence time is completely
unaffected by the installation of looping routes. Hence you don't
usually see loop- suppression techniques being combined with
link state routing. While forwarding loops are possible during the
transients, these are not regarded as much of a problem. It is
possible to combine loop-suppression techniques with link state
routing, it just has never been regarded as worth the trouble.
 With either kind of routing algorithm, TTL is used as a loop
detection procedure in order to catch the case where something
goes wrong.

k/ito_doc/en_igrp.htm
Enhanced IGRP integrates the capabilities of linkstate protocols into distance vector protocols
DUAL enables EIGRP routers to determine
whether a path advertised by a neighbor is looped
or loop-free, and allows a router running EIGRP to
find alternate paths without waiting on updates
from other routers
