Network layer functions
 transport packet from
sending to receiving hosts
 network layer protocols in
every host, router
three important functions:
 path determination: route
taken by packets from source
to dest. Routing algorithms
 forwarding: move packets
from router’s input to
appropriate router output
 call setup: some network
architectures require router

Network service model
Q: What service model
for “channel”
transporting packets
from sender to
receiver?
 guaranteed bandwidth?
 preservation of inter-packet
timing (no jitter)?
 loss-free delivery?
 in-order delivery?
 congestion feedback to
sender?

abstraction provided
by network layer:
? ?

virtual circuit
or

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 ID)
 every router on source-dest path maintains “state” for
each passing connection

transport-layer connection only involved two end systems
 link, router resources (bandwidth, buffers) may be
allocated to VC

to get circuit-like perf.
Network Layer

Virtual circuits: signaling protocols
 used to setup, maintain teardown VC
 used in ATM, frame-relay, X.25

 network links have MTU
(max.transfer size) - 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
fragmentation:
in: one large datagram
out: 3 smaller datagrams

DHCP: Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol
Goal: allow host to dynamically obtain its IP address
from network server when it joins network
Can renew its lease on address in use
Allows reuse of addresses (only hold address while connected
an “on”
Support for mobile users who want to join network (more
shortly)
DHCP overview:
 host broadcasts “DHCP discover” msg
 DHCP server responds with “DHCP offer” msg
 host requests IP address: “DHCP request” msg

Network Layer 4-31
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 4-32
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
