encapsulates segments
into datagrams
 on receiving side,
delivers segments to
transport layer
 network layer protocols

Two key network-layer
functions
network-layer functions:
forwarding: move
packets from router’s
input to appropriate
router output
routing: determine route
taken by packets from
source to destination
• routing algorithms
analogy: taking a trip
 forwarding: process of
getting through single
interchange
 routing: process of
planning trip from
source to destination
4-5

Network layer: data plane, control
plane
Data plane
 local, per-router function
 determines how
datagram arriving on
router input port is
forwarded to router
output port
 forwarding function
Control plane
 network-wide logic
 determines how datagram is
routed among routers along
end-end path from source
host to destination host
 two control-plane
approaches:
• traditional routing
algorithms: implemented
in routers
• software-defined
networking (SDN):
implemented in (remote)
servers

Network service model
Q: What service model for “channel”
transporting datagrams from sender to
receiver?
example services for
individual
datagrams:
 guaranteed delivery
 guaranteed delivery
with less than 40 msec
delay
example services for a
flow of datagrams:
 in-order datagram
delivery
 guaranteed minimum
bandwidth to flow
 restrictions on changes
in inter-packet spacing

Longest prefix matching
 we’ll see why longest prefix matching is used
shortly, when we study addressing
 longest prefix matching: often performed
using ternary content addressable memories
(TCAMs)
• content addressable: present address to TCAM:
retrieve address in one clock cycle, regardless of
table size
• Cisco Catalyst: can up ~1M routing table entries in
TCAM
4-17

Switching fabrics
 transfer packet from input buffer to
appropriate output buffer
 switching rate: rate at which packets can be
transfer from inputs to outputs
• often measured as multiple of input/output line rate
• N inputs: switching rate N times line rate desirable
 three types of switching fabrics
memory
memory
bus crossbar
4-18

Switching via memory

 traditional computers with switching under direct
control of CPU
 packet copied to system’s memory
 speed limited by memory bandwidth (2 bus crossings
per datagram)

Switching via a bus
 datagram from input port
memory
to output port memory via a
shared bus
 bus contention: switching
speed limited by bus bandwidth
 32 Gbps bus, Cisco 5600:
sufficient speed for access and
enterprise routers
bus
4-20

Switching via interconnection
network
 overcome bus bandwidth
limitations
 banyan networks, crossbar, other
interconnection nets initially
developed to connect processors
in multiprocessor
 advanced design: fragmenting
datagram into fixed length cells,
switch cells through the fabric.
 Cisco 12000: switches 60 Gbps
through the interconnection
network
crossbar
4-21

Input port queuing
 fabric slower than input ports combined -> queueing
may occur at input queues
• queueing delay and loss due to input buffer overflow!
 Head-of-the-Line (HOL) blocking: queued datagram at
front of queue prevents others in queue from moving
forward
output port contention:
only one red datagram can be
transferred.
lower red packet is blocked

Output port queueing
 buffering when arrival rate via switch exceeds
output line speed
 queueing (delay) and loss due to output port
buffer overflow!
at t, packets more

How much buffering?
 RFC 3439 rule of thumb: average buffering
equal to “typical” RTT (say 250 msec) times
link capacity C
• e.g., C = 10 Gpbs link: 2.5 Gbit buffer
 recent recommendation: with N flows,
buffering equal to
RTT C
.
N
4-25

Scheduling mechanisms
 scheduling: choose next packet to send on link
 FIFO (first in first out) scheduling: send in order
of arrival to queue
• real-world example?
• discard policy: if packet arrives to full queue: who to
discard?
• tail drop: drop arriving packet
• priority: drop/remove on priority basis
• random: drop/remove randomly

IP fragmentation, reassembly
 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
fragmentation:
in: one large datagram
out: 3 smaller datagrams

IP addressing: introduction
 IP address: 32-bit
identifier for host,
router interface
 interface: connection
between host/router
and physical link
• router’s typically have
multiple interfaces
• host typically has one or
two interfaces (e.g.,
wired Ethernet, wireless
802.11)
 IP addresses
associated with each
interface

about how one interface is
connected to another (with no
intervening router)

Subnets
 IP address:
• subnet part - high
order bits
• host part - low order
bits
 what’s a subnet ?
• device interfaces with
same subnet part of
IP address
• can physically reach
each other without
intervening router network consisting of 3 subnets

IP addresses: how to get one?
Q: How does a host get IP address?
 hard-coded by system admin in a file
• Windows: control-panel->network->configuration-
>tcp/ip->properties
• UNIX: /etc/rc.config
 DHCP: Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol:
dynamically get address from as server
• “plug-and-play”
4-42

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/“on”)
• support for mobile users who want to join network (more
shortly)
DHCP overview:
• host broadcasts “DHCP discover” msg [optional]
• DHCP server responds with “DHCP offer” msg [optional]
• host requests IP address: “DHCP request” msg
• DHCP server sends address: “DHCP ack” msg

IP addressing: the last word...
Q: how does an ISP get block of addresses?
A: ICANN: Internet Corporation for Assigned
Names and Numbers http://www.icann.org/
• allocates addresses
• manages DNS
• assigns domain names, resolves disputes

rest of
Internet
datagrams with source or
destination in this network
have 10.0.0/24 address for
source, destination (as usual)
all datagrams leaving
local
network have same
single source NAT IP
address:
138.76.29.7,different 4-54

motivation: local network uses just one IP address
as far as outside world is concerned:
 range of addresses not needed from ISP: just
one IP address 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)
translation
4-55

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

 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
• address shortage should be solved by IPv6
• violates end-to-end argument
• NAT possibility must be taken into account by
app designers, e.g., P2P applications
• NAT traversal: what if client wants to
connect to server behind NAT?

IPv6: motivation
 initial motivation: 32-bit address space soon to
be completely allocated.
 additional motivation:
• header format helps speed processing/forwarding
• header changes to facilitate QoS
IPv6 datagram format:
• fixed-length 40 byte header
• no fragmentation allowed
4-60

IPv6 datagram format
priority: identify priority among datagrams in flow
flow Label: identify datagrams in same “flow.”
(concept of“flow” not well defined).
next header: identify upper layer protocol for data
data
destination address
(128 bits)
source address
(128 bits)

Other changes from IPv4
 checksum: removed entirely to reduce
processing time at each hop
 options: allowed, but outside of header,
indicated by “Next Header” field
 ICMPv6: new version of ICMP
• additional message types, e.g. “Packet Too Big”
• multicast group management functions
4-62

Transition from IPv4 to IPv6
 not all routers can be upgraded simultaneously
• no “flag days”
• how will network operate with mixed IPv4 and
IPv6 routers?
 tunneling: IPv6 datagram carried as payload in
IPv4 datagram among IPv4 routers

IPv6:
adoption
 Google: 8% of clients access services via IPv6
 NIST: 1/3 of all US government domains are
IPv6 capable
 Long (long!) time for deployment, use
•20 years and counting!
•think of application-level changes in last 20 years:
WWW, Facebook, streaming media, Skype, …

 generalized forwarding: simple packet-handling rules
• Pattern: match values in packet header fields
• Actions: for matched packet: drop, forward, modify, matched
packet or send matched packet to controller
• Priority: disambiguate overlapping patterns
• Counters: #bytes and #packets
