CS575 Internetworking & Routers 3 4 4/6/2016 00:40 Routers 0 Router connects dissimilar networks and operates at layer 3 of the OSI model 0 Differences among networks include the following: - Addressing schemes (e.g., IEEE 802 LAN uses either 16-bit or 48-bit binary addresses for each attached device; an X.25 public frame-switching network uses 12-digit decimal addresses [encoded as 4-bit per digit for a 48-bit address]) - Maximum frame sizes (e.g., Ethernet imposes 1500-byte frame; X.25 – 1000-byte frame) - Interfaces (the concept of a router is independent of interfaces) - Reliability CS575 Internetworking & Routers 4 5 4/6/2016 00:40 Protocol Architecture for Router CS575 Internetworking & Routers 5 6 4/6/2016 00:40 Internet Protocol Operations (X.25 packet-switched WAN) CS575 Internetworking & Routers 6 7 4/6/2016 00:40 IP-controlled internet: Design Issues 0 Addressing: a unique address is associated with each End System (e.g., workstation or server) and each intermediate system (e.g., router) in a configuration [it is a network-level address]. In the case of the TCP/IP architecture, this is referred to as an IP (internet) address. In the case of the OSI architecture, this is referred to as a network service access point (NSAP). 0 Each application and each concurrent user of an application, is assigned a unique identifier, referred to as a port in the TCP/IP architecture and as a Service Access Point (SAP) in the OSI architecture. A unique SAP can be assigned to each level of the OSI architecture. 0 The IP (internet) address and Service Access Point (SAP) are global addresses with following key characteristics: * Global nonambiguity: a global address identifies a unique system. Synonyms are permitted. * Global applicability: it is possible at any global address to identify any other global address in any system.

A dynamic table is more flexible in responding to both error and congestion conditions. They may also be used to support other internetworking services (e.g., security and priority). 0 Source routing is another routing technique. The source station specifies the route by including a sequential list of routers in the datagram. 0 Route recording is a service related to routing for testing and debugging purposes. To record a route, each router appends its internet address to a list of addresses in the datagram. 0 Datagram lifetime is calculated (e.g. by a hop count or a true measure of time), and used to avoid areas of congestion. CS575 Internetworking & Routers 9 10 4/6/2016 00:40 Other Design Issues: Fragmentation and Reassembly 0 In IP, datagram fragments are reassembled at the destination end system. The following fields are used in the IP header: * Data Unit Identifier (ID); Data Length; Offset; More Flag. 0 To fragment a long datagram, an IP module in a router performs the tasks: 1. Create two new dataframs and copy the header fields of the incoming datagram into both. 2. Divide the incoming user data field into two approximately equal portions, placing one portion in each new datagram. The first portion must be a multiple of 64 bits. 3. Set the Data Length of the first new datagram to the length of the inserted data, and set More Flag to 1 (TRUE). The Offset field is unchanged. 4. Set the Data Length of the second new datagram to the length of the inserted data, and add the length of the first data portion divided by 8 to the Offset field. The More Flag remains the same.

An AS consists of a group of routers exchanging information via a common routing protocol. 2. An AS is a set of routers and networks managed by a single organization. 3. There is a path between any two pair of nodes. 0 Interior Router Protocol (IRP) passes routing information between routers within an Autonomous System (e.g., OSPF). 0 Exterior Router Protocol (ERP) passes routing information between routers in different Autonomous Systems (e.g., BGP). CS575 Internetworking & Routers 12 13 4/6/2016 00:40 Application of Exterior and Interior Routing Protocols CS575 Internetworking & Routers 13 14 4/6/2016 00:40 Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) 0 BGP was developed for use with the TCP/IP protocol suite. 0 BGP has become the standardized exterior router protocol for the Internet. 0 The BGP protocol operates in terms of messages, which are sent over TCP connections. 0 Three functional procedures are involved in BGP: * Neighbor acquisition * Neighbor reachability * Network reachability CS575 Internetworking & Routers 14 15 4/6/2016 00:40 BGP-4 Messages CS575 Internetworking & Routers 15 16 4/6/2016 00:40 BGP Message Formats CS575 Internetworking & Routers 16 17 4/6/2016 00:40 BGP Message Formats (continued) CS575 Internetworking & Routers 17 18 4/6/2016 00:40 Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) Protocol Example: a Sample Autonomous System CS575 Internetworking & Routers 18 19 4/6/2016 00:40 Directed Graph of the Autonomous System CS575 Internetworking & Routers 19 20 4/6/2016 00:40 The Shirt-Path-First (SPF) Tree for Router R6 CS575 Internetworking & Routers 20 21 4/6/2016 00:40 Routing Table for Router R6 OSPF Algorithm proposed by Dijkstra (1959) CS575 Internetworking & Routers 21 22 4/6/2016 00:40 Example Directed Graph 2 CS575 Internetworking & Routers 22 23 4/6/2016 00:40 Example of Least-Cost Routing Algorithms (see Graph 2) CS575 Internetworking & Routers 23 24 4/6/2016 00:40 Example of Least-Cost Routing Algorithms (see Graph 2) CS575 Internetworking & Routers 24
