4.3 What’s inside a router
Broadcast and multicast routing
Last, ICMP
Broadcast and Multicast
Broadcast

Deliver packets from
source to all other nodes
in the network
@Yuan Xue ([email protected])
Multicast

Deliver packets from
source to only a subset
of network nodes

@Yuan Xue ([email protected])
In-network duplication
flooding: when node receives broadcast packet, sends copy
to all neighbors
 problems: cycles & broadcast storm
controlled flooding: node only broqdcqsts pkt if it hasn’t
broadcst same packet before
 Sequence-number-controlled flooding: node keeps track
of packet ids [src_node, sequence_num] already
broadacsted. If the packet was received and forwarded
before, it will get dropped.
 Reverse path forwarding (RPF): node only forwards a
packet if it arrived on the shortest path between the
node and the source
spanning tree broadcast
 No redundant packets received by any node

S: source

datagram will be

R7
Different from sequence-number-controlled flooding:
• In sequence-number-controlled flooding, the packet forwarding does not follow a specific
path. It rather depends on the timing of p. In this example, if the packet from R5 is
received at R6 earlier than the packet from R2, R6 will forward the packet to R2.
Similar to sequence-number-controlled flooding
• For each packet, each node in the network will only perform one forwarding operation to all
its neighbors (other than the one from which the packet is received.).

the graph
Nodes forward copies only along spanning tree

Spanning Tree: Creation
How to construct a spanning tree?

Many algorithms. Here we consider the center-based approach.
Center-based approach

Select a center node (rendezvous point or a core) (in the example: E)

Each node sends unicast join message to center node
 message forwarded (based on the route from a unicast routing algorithm)
until it arrives at a node already belonging to spanning tree

IP multicast
Multicast at network layer is called IP multicast
It has two components

Group management
 IGMP

Multicast routing
 DVMRP, PIM, MSDP
IP multicast  Application layer multicast
@Yuan Xue ([email protected])
Multicast Address and Group Management
Deliver packets from source to only a subset of network nodes  how to
address them?
 List of IP addresses of all receivers
 too much overhead in the packet header
 The sender also needs to maintain this list (node join/leave)
 Internet solution
 Multicast address  a class D IP address
 The group of receivers associated with a class D address is referred to
as a multicast group
How to manage this group?
 Internet Group Management Protocol
 A host informs its attached router to join a specific multicast group
 Three message types: membership_query, membership_report,
leave_group
 Using soft state
@Yuan Xue ([email protected])
Multicast Routing: Problem Statement
Goal: find a tree (or trees) connecting routers having
local mcast group members



tree: not all paths between routers are used
source-based: different tree from each sender to rcvrs
shared-tree: same tree used by all group members
Shared tree
@Yuan Xue ([email protected])
Source-based trees
Approaches for building mcast trees
Approaches:
source-based tree: one tree per source
 shortest path trees
 reverse path forwarding
 Pruning
group-shared tree: group uses one tree
 minimal spanning (all nodes on the tree are part of the
multicast group) or Steiner (there are nodes on the tree
which are not part of the multicast group) tree
 center-based trees
we first look at basic approaches, then specific protocols
adopting these approaches
@Yuan Xue ([email protected])
Shortest Path Tree
mcast forwarding tree: tree of shortest path
routes from source to all receivers

Reverse Path Forwarding
rely on router’s knowledge of unicast shortest
path from it to sender
 each router has simple forwarding behavior:

if (mcast datagram received on incoming link
on shortest path back to center)
then flood datagram onto all outgoing links
else ignore datagram

datagram will not be
Forwarded beyond
receiving router
result is a source-specific reverse SPT
 may be a bad choice with asymmetric links
@Yuan Xue ([email protected])
Reverse Path Forwarding: pruning
forwarding tree contains subtrees with no mcast group
members
 no need to forward datagrams down subtree
 “prune” msgs sent upstream by router with no
downstream group members

Shared-Tree: Steiner Tree
Steiner Tree: minimum cost tree connecting all
routers with attached group members
problem is NP-complete
excellent heuristics exists
not used in practice:



computational complexity
information about entire network needed
monolithic: rerun whenever a router needs to join/leave
@Yuan Xue ([email protected])
Center-based trees
single delivery tree shared by all
one router identified as “center” of tree
to join:




edge router sends unicast join-msg addressed to center
router
join-msg “processed” by intermediate routers and
forwarded towards center
join-msg either hits existing tree branch for this center,
or arrives at center
path taken by join-msg becomes new branch of tree for
this router

Internet Multicasting Routing
DVMRP: distance vector multicast routing protocol, RFC1075

Source-based tree with reverse path forwarding and pruning
PIM: Protocol-Independent Multicast routing protocol,
RFC3973


Dense mode: flood-and-prune reverse path forwarding techniques
(similar to DVMRP)
Sparse mode: rendezvous point
MSDP: Multicast Source Discovery Protocol
Reality: IP multicast has yet to take off in a big way


Application-level multicast
In UK, BBC Multicast
@Yuan Xue ([email protected])
Internet Multicasting Routing: DVMRP
DVMRP: distance vector multicast routing protocol,
RFC1075
flood and prune: reverse path forwarding, sourcebased tree




RPF tree based on DVMRP’s own routing tables
constructed by communicating DVMRP routers
no assumptions about underlying unicast
initial datagram to mcast group flooded everywhere via
RPF
routers not part of the group: send upstream prune msgs
@Yuan Xue ([email protected])
DVMRP: continued…
soft state: DVMRP router periodically (1 min.)
“forgets” branches are pruned:


mcast data again flows down unpruned branch
downstream router: reprune or else continue to
receive data
routers can quickly regraft to tree

following IGMP join at leaf
odds and ends


commonly implemented in commercial routers
Mbone routing done using DVMRP
@Yuan Xue ([email protected])
PIM: Protocol Independent Multicast
not dependent on any specific underlying unicast
routing algorithm (works with all)
two different multicast distribution scenarios :
Dense:


group members
densely packed, in
“close” proximity.
bandwidth more
plentiful
Sparse:



@Yuan Xue ([email protected])
# networks with group
members small wrt #
interconnected networks
group members “widely
dispersed”
bandwidth not plentiful
Consequences of Sparse-Dense Dichotomy:
Dense
group membership by
routers assumed until
routers explicitly prune
data-driven construction
on mcast tree (e.g., RPF)
bandwidth and nongroup-router processing
profligate
@Yuan Xue ([email protected])
Sparse:
no membership until
routers explicitly join
receiver- driven
construction of mcast tree
(e.g., center-based)
bandwidth and non-grouprouter processing
conservative
PIM- Dense Mode
flood-and-prune RPF, similar to DVMRP but



underlying unicast protocol provides RPF info for
incoming datagram
less complicated (less efficient) downstream flood
than DVMRP reduces reliance on underlying
routing algorithm
has protocol mechanism for router to detect it is a
leaf-node router
@Yuan Xue ([email protected])
PIM - Sparse Mode
center-based approach
router sends join msg
to rendezvous point
(RP)

R1
intermediate routers
update state and forward
R2
join
after joining via RP,
router can switch to
source-specific tree

increased performance:
less concentration,
shorter paths

ICMP: Internet Control Message Protocol
used by hosts & routers to
communicate network-level
information
 error reporting: unreachable
host, network, port, protocol
 echo request/reply (used by
ping)
network-layer “above” IP:
 ICMP msgs carried in IP
datagrams
ICMP message: type, code plus first
8 bytes of IP datagram causing error

echo reply (ping)
dest. network unreachable
dest host unreachable
dest protocol unreachable
dest port unreachable
dest network unknown
dest host unknown
source quench (congestion
control - not used)
echo request (ping)
route advertisement
router discovery
TTL expired
bad IP header
Traceroute and ICMP
Source sends series of UDP
segments to dest


first has TTL =1
second has TTL=2, etc.
When nth datagram arrives to
nth router:



router discards datagram
and sends to source an ICMP
message (type 11, code 0)
ICMP message includes name of
router & IP address
when ICMP message arrives,
source calculates RTT
traceroute does this 3 times
Stopping criterion
UDP segment eventually arrives
at destination host
destination returns ICMP “port
unreachable” packet (type 3,
code 3)
when source gets this ICMP,
stops.
Refer to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traceroute
@Yuan Xue ([email protected])
Ping
Ping operates by sending Internet Control Message
Protocol (ICMP) echo request packets to the target host
and waiting for an ICMP response.
In the process it measures the time from transmission to
reception (round-trip time) and records any packet loss.
The results of the test are printed in form of a statistical
summary of the response packets received, including the
minimum, maximum, and the mean round-trip times, and
sometimes the standard deviation of the mean.
