Internetworking styles
  • Half-devices neutral protocol
  • Management issue
  • Cooperation reduced to agreement on protocol

7
Internetworking styles
  • Concatenated virtual circuits
  • Set-up of a connection
  • Recognition of remote destination (host, router)
    and selection of multiprotocol router for first
    VC
  • Multiprotocol router extends VC towards

11
Internetworking styles
  • Tunneling
  • Interconnect 2 identical networks using a
    different one
  • Behaviour point-to-point line between
    multiprotocol routers

12
Internetworking routing
  • Same problem some complications
  • 2 levels of routing
  • Within a network
  • Intranetwork routing
  • Interior gateway protocol
  • Internetwork routing
  • Graph construction
  • Every router can directly access routers on the
    same network
  • Packet forwarding tunneling if necessary
  • Differences with intranetwork routing
  • Cross international boundaries adopt national
    laws
  • Agreements between operators (transit traffic)
  • Between networks
  • Internetwork routing
  • Exterior gateway protocol

13
Internetworking routing
  • An internetwork
  • Router A can communicate with routers B
    and C

Graph of internetwork
14
Internetworking fragmentation
  • Problem Large packet through network with
    smaller maximum packet size
  • Solution
  • Break large packet into fragments
  • Send each fragment as a separate packet
  • Reassemble transparent ltgt non transparent?
  • Transparent fragmentation
  • Strategy
  • Gateway breaks large packet into fragments
  • Each fragment addressed to same exit gateway
  • Exit gateway does reassembly

15
Internetworking fragmentation
  • Transparent fragmentation
  • Strategy
  • Gateway breaks large packet into fragments
  • Each fragment addressed to same exit gateway
  • Exit gateway does reassembly
  • Simple, but some problems
  • Gateway must know when it has all pieces
  • Performance loss all fragments through same
    gateway
  • Overhead repeatedly reassemble and refragment
  • Example ATM segmentation

16
Internetworking fragmentation
  • Nontransparent fragmentation
  • Strategy
  • Gateway breaks large packet into fragments
  • Each fragment is forwarded to destination
  • problems
  • Every host must be able to reassembly
  • More headers
  • Example IP fragmentation

17
Internetworking fragmentation
  • Fragment numbering
  • Hierarchical numbering
  • Packet 0 ? packets 0.0, 0.1, 0.2
  • Problem retransmission different
    fragmentations
  • Basic block numbering in every packet
  • Original packet number
  • Sequence number of first block

18
Internetworking firewalls
  • Protection needed against
  • Information leaking out
  • Trade secrets, product development plans,
  • Information leaking in
  • Viruses, worms,
  • Old medieval analogy
  • Castle deep moat around it
  • Single draw bridge
  • Example firewall
  • 2 routers for packet filtering
  • Application gateway

19
Internetworking firewalls
  • Packet filtering
  • Acceptable sources destinations
  • Filters on
  • Address IP
  • Service port (TCP header)
  • both
  • Application gateway
  • Decisions made per application
  • Header fields,
  • Message size
  • content

22
Internet IP protocol
  • IP protocol
  • best effort service
  • Datagrams up to 64 Kbytes
  • IP header
  • 20 byte fixed part optional part
  • Transmitted in big endian order ( l -gt r)

23
Internet IP header
Version Version of IP protocol now 4
IHL Length of header
Type of service 3 bit precedence field priority 0 (normal) to 7 (control) 3 flags Delay, Throughput, Reliability
Total length Length of header data
Identification Unique number for datagram (between source destination)
DF Dont fragment this packet
MF More fragments to come
Fragment offset Relative position of fragment in original packet ( 8 bytes mult.)
Time to live Hop counter
Protocol Protocol of higher layer
Header checksum 16 bit sum of half words using 1-complement
Source address IP address
Destination address IP address
24
Internet IP header
  • Options maximum length 40 bytes
  • Too small 40 bytes -gt only 10 IP addresses!

Option Description
Security Specifies how secret the datagram is
Strict source routing Gives the complete path to be followed
Loose source routing Gives a list of routers not to be missed
Record route Makes each router append its IP address
timestamp Makes each router append its IP address and timestamp
25
Internet IP addresses
class networks hosts
A 126 16.000.000
B 16.382 64.000
C 2.000.000 254
  • IP address 32 bits
  • Network number
  • Host number (on network)

26
Internet IP addresses
  • Dotted notation 134.58.47.25
  • Assignment
  • ICANN Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and
    Numbers
  • Arin (American Registry for Internet Numbers)
    for N S America
  • RIPE (Réseaux IP Européennes) for Europe
  • APNIC (Asia Pacific Network Information Centre)
  • Special addresses

27
Internet IP subnets
  • Subnetting different views on same network
  • Internal network split up in different parts
  • External a single net
  • Why?
  • Avoid use of different C networks for a single
    organisation
  • Allow structuring of class A B networks

28
Internet IP subnets
  • Subnetting different views on same network
  • Internal network split up in different parts
  • External a single net
  • Why?
  • Avoid use of different C networks for a single
    organisation
  • Allow structuring of class A B networks
  • Network ltgt host?
  • Subnet mask

29
Internet IP subnets
Routing table entries No subnets
With subnets
  • (network, 0) how to get distant network
  • (this-network, host) to local host
  • (network, 0) how to get to distant
    network
  • (this-network, subnet, 0) to host on
    another subnet
  • (this-network, this-subnet, host) to
    local host
  • Advantages
  • Smaller tables
  • Management of networks easier (not easy!)

30
Internet CIDR
  • Exponential growth of Internet
  • Running out of addresses
  • B is too large ltgt C is too small
  • Assign many Cs iso a single B
  • Routing table explosion
  • Hierarchical routing
  • No support in IP addressing scheme
  • CIDR solution
  • Allocate blocks of class C addresses
  • Introduce hierarchy for remaining addresses
  • Classless routing

CIDR classless InterDomain Routing
31
Internet CIDR
  • CIDR solution
  • Allocate blocks of class C addresses
  • Variable size described by
  • IP address
  • Mask indicating meaningful bits in address
  • Allocation scheme block of X addresses starts on
    X-byte boundary
  • 2048 addresses (8 C classes) 194.24.0.0 to
    194.24.7.255
  • 4096 addresses (16 C classes) 194.24.16.0 to
    194.24.31.255
  • Introduce hierarchy for remaining addresses
  • Classless routing

Internet NAT
  • Network Address translation
  • Simple solution to the shortage of IP addresses
  • Examples?
  • Technique
  • non routable addresses inside a domain
  • Translate address to a routable one when packet
    leaves domain

Reply packets?
34
Internet NAT
  • Use TCP/UDP port number to differentiate between
    different local computer systems
  • NAT translation table
  • (local IP address, source port)
  • ?? (external IP address, unique port)
  • 1 IP address can be used for up to 64K hosts

35
Internet NAT
  • Objections to NAT
  • Violates architectural model of IP
  • IP address uniquely identifies a single computer
  • Crash of NAT box ? all connections lost
  • Connection oriented flavor
  • Violates fundamental rule of protocol layers
  • Only works for TCP UDP
  • Addresses inside body are not translated
  • Ugly and temporary hack delays real solution

39
Internet ARP

  • Host with that IP address should reply with its
    data link address
  • Optimisations cache mappings!
  • Values in ARP request (every system on net)
  • Values in ARP reply (sender of ARP request
    only)
  • Gratuitous ARP upon boot host can send ARP
    request with its own mappinganswer duplicate
    IP address in use!

40
Internet ARP

    broadcast is not forwarded
