Why an internet layer?
 Why not one big flat LAN?
 Different LAN protocols
 Flat address space not scalable
 IP provides:
 Global addressing
 Scaling to WANs
 Virtualization of network isolates
end-to-end protocols from network
details/changes
 Why a single IP?
 Maximise interoperability
 Minimise service interfaces
 Why a narrow IP?
 Least common network functionality
“hourglass model”

to get packet to destination

Network service model
Q: What service model for “channel” transporting
datagrams from sender to rcvr?
 Connection-oriented network service:
 Virtual Circuits
 Connection-less network service:
 Datagrams
Network Layer
4-5
Virtual circuits
“source-to-dest path behaves much like telephone
circuit”


performance-wise
network actions along source-to-dest path
 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
Network Layer
4-6
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

 strict timing, reliability
 “smart” end systems

IP addressing: the last word...
Q: How does an ISP get block of addresses?
A: ICANN: Internet Corporation for Assigned
Names and Numbers
 allocates addresses
 manages DNS
 assigns domain names, resolves disputes

All datagrams leaving local
network have same single source
NAT IP address: 138.76.29.7,
different source port numbers
Datagrams with source or
destination in this network
have 10.0.0/24 address for
source, destination (as usual)
Network Layer

NAT: Network Address Translation
 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

NAT: Network Address Translation
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

NAT: Network Address Translation
 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
IPv6
shortage should instead be solved by
