Router Architecture Overview
Two key router functions:
• run routing algorithms/protocol
• forwarding datagrams from incoming to outgoing link
Khaled Mahbub, IICT, BUET, 2008
ICT 6621 : Advanced Networking
Input Port Functions
Physical layer:
bit-level reception
Data link layer:
e.g., Ethernet
Decentralized switching:
• given datagram dest., lookup output port using forwarding
table in input port memory.
• goal: complete input port processing at ‘line speed’.
Lookup speed can be increased by applying efficient
algorithm/data structure (e.g. like binary tree based on bit
values), rather than linear search of the routing table.
• queuing: if datagrams arrive faster than forwarding rate
into switch fabric
Khaled Mahbub, IICT, BUET, 2008
ICT 6621 : Advanced Networking
Three types of switching fabrics
Khaled Mahbub, IICT, BUET, 2008
ICT 6621 : Advanced Networking
Switching Via Memory
First generation routers:
• traditional computers with switching under direct control of
CPU (acts as routing processor)
• Input port interrupts the processor and copies the packet to
system’s memory
• Processor extracts the destination address, finds the output
port and copies the packet to the output port.
• speed limited by memory bandwidth (2 bus crossings per
datagram)

Khaled Mahbub, IICT, BUET, 2008
ICT 6621 : Advanced Networking
Switching Via a Bus
• datagram from input port
memory to output port memory
via a shared bus, without
intervention by the routing
processor.
• Only one packet can be
transferred at a time.
• bus contention: switching
speed limited by bus bandwidth
• 1 Gbps bus, Cisco 1900:
sufficient speed for access and
enterprise routers.
Khaled Mahbub, IICT, BUET, 2008
ICT 6621 : Advanced Networking
Switching Via An Interconnection Network
• overcome bus bandwidth limitations
• A crossbar switch is an interconnection network consisting of 2N
busses that connect N input ports to N output ports.
• A packet arriving at an input port travels along the horizontal bus
attached to the input port until it intersects with the vertical bus
leading to the desired output port.
• If the vertical bus leading to the output port is free, the packet is
transferred to the output port. If the vertical bus is being used to
transfer a packet from another input port to this same output port,
the arriving packet is blocked and must be queued at the input
port.
• Cisco 12000 family switches uses interconnection network
Khaled Mahbub, IICT, BUET, 2008
ICT 6621 : Advanced Networking
Output Ports
• Output port takes the datagrams that have been stored in
the output port's memory and transmits them over the
outgoing link.
• Buffering required when datagrams arrive from fabric faster
than the transmission rate
• Scheduling discipline chooses among queued datagrams
for transmission
Khaled Mahbub, IICT, BUET, 2008
ICT 6621 : Advanced Networking
Output Port Queuing
• buffering when arrival rate via switch exceeds output line speed
• queueing (delay) and loss due to output port buffer overflow!
• packet scheduler at the output port must choose one packet among
those queued for transmission.
– first-come-first-served (FCFS) scheduling
– weighted fair queueing (WFQ)
Khaled Mahbub, IICT, BUET, 2008
ICT 6621 : Advanced Networking
Input Port Queuing
• Fabric slower than input ports combined -> queueing may
occur at input queues
• Head-of-the-Line (HOL) blocking: queued datagram at
front of queue prevents others in queue from moving
forward
• queueing delay and loss due to input buffer overflow!

Internet Protocol
• The network protocol in the Internet (TCP/IP stack) is
called the Internet Protocol, or more commonly, the IP
Protocol.
• There are currently two versions of the IP protocol in use
today.
– Internet Protocol version 4, is more commonly known as IPv4.
– Internet Protocol version 6, is more commonly known as IPv6.
• Functionality:
– Determine how to route packets from source to destination
– Hide the details of the physical network
– Unreliable, connectionless, datagram delivery

IP datagram format (IPv4)
Khaled Mahbub, IICT, BUET, 2008
ICT 6621 : Advanced Networking
IP Header
• Version: 4
• Header length: 4 bits, number of 32 bits words (4bytes), max
15x4=60 bytes
• TOS: 0 for normal service,
• Total length: 16 bits, max 65535 bytes
• Identifier, flags, offset: for fragmentation and reassembly
• TTL: 32/64, decrease by one in each hop
• Protocol field: TCP, UCP, ICMP, IGMP, etc.
• Checksum: header only

IP Fragmentation & Reassembly
• network links have MTU
(max. transmission unit) 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
Khaled Mahbub, IICT, BUET, 2008
fragmentation:
in: one large datagram
out: 3 smaller datagrams
reassembly

IP Addressing: Introduction
• IP address: 32-bit
identifier for host,
router interface
• interface:
connection between
host/router and
physical link
– router’s typically
have multiple
interfaces
– host may have
multiple interfaces

IP Addressing
• Q: Every host has one unique IP-address (true/false)?
Answer
False: one address per interface, not one address per host, e.g., a host
with multiple connections, routers
- host may also have multiple
Interfaces
– IP addresses associated with
interface, not host
– what about routers?
router’s typically have
multiple interfaces (so multiple
IP addresses)
Khaled Mahbub, IICT, BUET, 2008
ICT 6621 : Advanced Networking
IP Addressing
• IP address:
– network part (high
order bits)
– host part (low order
bits)
• What’s a network ?
– device interfaces with
same network part of
IP address
– can physically reach
each other without
intervening router

IP Address Classes (Classful Addressing)
• Determining the class:
– if first bit is 0 then class A
– else if second bit 0 then class B
– else if ...
Khaled Mahbub, IICT, BUET, 2008
ICT 6621 : Advanced Networking
Subnet Addressing
• Subnetting allows another level of hierarchy in the IP
address
• From the IP address used one can determine the class
being used
• Subnet Mask determines the boundary between subnet ID &
host ID
• Subnetting is not visible to the outside networks
• Subnetting reduces the complexity in routing
• It is not necessary that the subnet ID be 8 bits
Khaled Mahbub, IICT, BUET, 2008
ICT 6621 : Advanced Networking
Subnet Masking
• IP address:
10101000 11110000 00010100 00100101
• Mask:
11111111 11111111 11111111 00000000
• Applying Mask:
10101000 11110000 00010100 000000000
• Example Subnet Masks
– host’s address is 140.134.6.5
• subnet mask is 255.255.0.0 (No subnetting)
– host address is 140.134.6.5
• subnet mask is 255.255.255.0 (subnetting with 8 bits)
– host address is 140.134.6.5
• subnet mask is 255.255.255.192 (subnetting with 6 bits)
Khaled Mahbub, IICT, BUET, 2008
ICT 6621 : Advanced Networking
IP Addressing: CIDR
• classful addressing:
– inefficient use of address space, address space
exhaustion
– e.g., class B net allocated enough addresses for 65K
hosts, even if only 2K hosts in that network
• CIDR: Classless Inter Domain Routing
– network portion of address of arbitrary length
– address format: a.b.c.d/x, where x is # bits in network

• A blank subnet ID column means the address is not subnetted.
• The first two entries are special case source address and used only in the
initialization procedure when a host is determining its own IP address,
(e.g. BOOTP protocol)
• The third address is the special loopback address.
• The last four addresses are the broadcast addresses.
Khaled Mahbub, IICT, BUET, 2008
ICT 6621 : Advanced Networking
IP Addresses: How to Get One
• How does host get IP address?
– hard-coded by system admin in a file
• Wintel: control-panel->network->configuration>tcp/ip->properties
• UNIX: /etc/rc.config
– DHCP: Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol:
dynamically get address from as server
• “plug-and-play” (more in later lecture)
• How does an ISP get block of addresses?
ICANN: Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers
• allocates addresses
• manages DNS
• assigns domain names, resolves disputes

Datagrams with source or
destination in this network
have 10.0.0/24 address for
source, destination (as usual)
ICT 6621 : Advanced Networking
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).
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 address.
– 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 destination 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 LANside address!
• NAT is controversial:
– routers should only process up to layer 3 (violation of
fundamental rule of protocol layering).
– Force to treat Internet as connection oriented network
(i.e. NAT table has to maintain info for each
connection)
– violates end-to-end argument
• NAT possibility must be taken into account by app designers,
e.g., P2P applications
– address shortage should instead be solved by IPv6

IPv6
• Why IPv6?
– Need for larger address space. 32-bit address space
of IPv4 soon to be completely allocated.
• Additional motivation: Support for new
applications like real-time audio and video that
require network guarantees in the network
– header format helps speed processing/forwarding
– header changes to facilitate QoS
• IPv6 datagram format:
– fixed-length 40 byte header
– no fragmentation allowed
Khaled Mahbub, IICT, BUET, 2008
ICT 6621 : Advanced Networking
IPv6 Header
• Version (4 bits): This field identifies the IP
version number. For IPv6 it is 6, for IPv4 it
is 4
• Traffic class (8 bits): This field is used by
the source and routers to identify the
packets belonging to the same traffic class
and thus distinguish between packets with
different priorities.
• flow label (20 bits): This field is used to
identify a "flow" of packets from different
processes.
• payload length (16 bits): This field is used
to specify the number of bytes in the IPv6
packet following the fixed length, 40 byte
packet header
Khaled Mahbub, IICT, BUET, 2008
ICT 6621 : Advanced Networking
IPv6 Header
•
•
next header (8 bits): This field identifies the
protocol to which the contents (data field) of
this packet will be delivered (e.g., to TCP or
UDP). The field uses the same values as the
Protocol field in the IPv4 header.
hop limit (8 bits). The contents of this field are
decremented by one by each router that
forward the packet. If the hop limit count
reaches zero, the packet is discarded.
• Source/destination address (128 bits):
address of source and target hosts. IPv6
address is expressed as eight unsigned
integers on 16 bits and writing each
number with four hexadecimal digits,
where numbers are separated by colons,
e.g.
1080:0000:0000:0000:0008:0800:200C:417A
1080::8:800:200C:417A
Khaled Mahbub, IICT, BUET, 2008
ICT 6621 : Advanced Networking
IPv4 vs IPv6
• Key differences
– Address size is 128-bits
– No fragmentation/reassembly
– Checksum: removed entirely to reduce
processing time at each hop
– fixed-length 40 byte header
– flexible header format for options, i.e. Options:
allowed, but outside of header, indicated by
“Next Header” field (known as extension
headers)
– Also a new ICMP for IPv6, ICMPv6 (will be
discussed in next lecture)

Transition From IPv4 To IPv6
• Not all routers are upgraded
– How will the network operate with mixed IPv4
and IPv6 routers?
• Two proposed approaches:
– Dual Stack: some routers with dual stack (v6,
v4) can “translate” between formats
– Tunneling: IPv6 carried as payload in IPv4
datagram among IPv4 routers
