network layer

Network Layer : 

Network Layer Routing Networks: Routing 1

Network Layer : 

Network Layer Concerned with getting packets from source to destination. The network layer must know the topology of the subnet and choose appropriate paths through it. When source and destination are in different networks, the network layer (IP) must deal with these differences. Key issue: what service does the network layer provide to the transport layer (connection-oriented or connectionless). Networks: Routing 2

Network Layer Design Goals : 

Network Layer Design Goals The services provided by the network layer should be independent of the subnet topology. The Transport Layer should be shielded from the number, type and topology of the subnets present. The network addresses available to the Transport Layer should use a uniform numbering plan (even across LANs and WANs). Networks: Routing 3

Routing : 

Routing Routing algorithm:: that part of the Network Layer responsible for deciding on which output line to transmit an incoming packet. Remember: For virtual circuit subnets the routing decision is made ONLY at set up. Algorithm properties:: correctness, simplicity, robustness, stability, fairness, optimality, and scalability. Networks: Routing 13

Routing Classification : 

Routing Classification Adaptive Routing based on current measurements of traffic and/or topology. 1. centralized 2. isolated 3. distributed Non-Adaptive Routing flooding static routing using shortest path algorithms Networks: Routing 14

Shortest Path Routing : 

Shortest Path Routing Bellman-Ford Algorithm [Distance Vector] Dijkstra’s Algorithm [Link State] What does it mean to be the shortest (or optimal) route? Minimize mean packet delay Maximize the network throughput Mininize the number of hops along the path Networks: Routing 15

Dijkstra’s Shortest Path Algorithm : 

Dijkstra’s Shortest Path Algorithm Initially mark all nodes (except source) with infinite distance. working node = source node Sink node = destination node While the working node is not equal to the sink 1. Mark the working node as permanent. 2. Examine all adjacent nodes in turn If the sum of label on working node plus distance from working node to adjacent node is less than current labeled distance on the adjacent node, this implies a shorter path. Relabel the distance on the adjacent node and label it with the node from which the probe was made. 3. Examine all tentative nodes (not just adjacent nodes) and mark the node with the smallest labeled value as permanent. This node becomes the new working node. Reconstruct the path backwards from sink to source. Networks: Routing 16

Distance Vector Routing : 

Distance Vector Routing Historically known as the old ARPANET routing algorithm {or known as Bellman-Ford algorithm}. Basic idea: each network node maintains a Distance Vector table containing the distance between itself and ALL possible destination nodes. Distances are based on a chosen metric and are computed using information from the neighbors’ distance vectors. Metric: usually hops or delay Networks: Routing 18

Distance Vector Routing : 

Distance Vector Routing Information kept by DV router each router has an ID associated with each link connected to a router, there is a link cost (static or dynamic) the metric issue! Networks: Routing 19 Distance Vector Table Initialization Distance to itself = 0 Distance to ALL other routers = infinity number

Distance Vector Algorithm [Perlman] : 

Distance Vector Algorithm [Perlman] Router transmits its distance vector to each of its neighbors. Each router receives and saves the most recently received distance vector from each of its neighbors. A router recalculates its distance vector when: It receives a distance vector from a neighbor containing different information than before. It discovers that a link to a neighbor has gone down (i.e., a topology change). The DV calculation is based on minimizing the cost to each destination. Networks: Routing 20

Routing Information Protocol (RIP) : 

Routing Information Protocol (RIP) RIP had widespread use because it was distributed with BSD Unix in “routed”, a router management daemon. RIP is the most used Distance Vector protocol. RFC1058 in June 1988. Sends packets every 30 seconds or faster. Runs over UDP. Metric = hop count BIG problem is max. hop count =16  RIP limited to running on small networks!! Upgraded to RIPv2 Networks: Routing 22

Link State Algorithm : 

Link State Algorithm Each router is responsible for meeting its neighbors and learning their names. Each router constructs a link state packet (LSP) which consists of a list of names and cost to reach each of its neighbors. The LSP is transmitted to ALL other routers. Each router stores the most recently generated LSP from each other router. Each router uses complete information on the network topology to compute the shortest path route to each destination node. Networks: Routing 23

Open Shortest Path First(OSPF) : 

Open Shortest Path First(OSPF) OSPF runs on top of IP, i.e., an OSPF packet is transmitted with IP data packet header. Uses Level 1 and Level 2 routers Has: backbone routers, area border routers, and AS boundary routers LSPs referred to as LSAs (Link State Advertisements) Complex algorithm due to five distinct LSA types. Networks: Routing 24

Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) : 

Border Gateway Protocol (BGP) The replacement for EGP is BGP. Current version is BGP-4. BGP assumes the Internet is an arbitrary interconnected set of AS’s. In interdomain routing the goal is to find ANY path to the intended destination that is loop-free. The protocols are more concerned with reachability than optimality. Networks: Routing 27
