• datagram format
• packet handling conventions
• path selection
• RIP, OSPF, BGP

Network Layer 4-5
IP fragmentation, reassembly

fragmentation:
in: one large datagram
out: 3 smaller datagrams
…

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 related
fragments
Network Layer 4-6
IP fragmentation, reassembly
example:


4000 byte datagram
MTU = 1500 bytes
1480 bytes in

Q: How does a host get IP address?


hard-coded by system admin in a file
DHCP: Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol:
dynamically get address from a server
“plug-and-play”
Network Layer 4-18
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
 support for mobile users who want to join network
DHCP overview:

10.0.0.1
10.0.0.4
10.0.0.2
138.76.29.7
10.0.0.3
all datagrams leaving local
network have same single
source NAT IP address:
138.76.29.7,different source
port numbers
datagrams with source or
destination in this network
have 10.0.0/24 address for
source, destination (as usual)
Network Layer 4-26
NAT: network address translation
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
Network Layer 4-27
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
Network Layer 4-28
NAT: network address translation

Network Layer 4-29
NAT: network address translation

NAT is controversial:
 routers should only process up to layer 3
 violates end-to-end argument
 address shortage should instead be solved by IPv6
Network Layer 4-30
NAT traversal problem

client wants to connect to server with
address 10.0.0.1
10.0.0.1
 server address 10.0.0.1 local to LAN
• client can’t use it as destination addr
 only one externally visible NATed address:
138.76.29.7
client

?
138.76.29.7
10.0.0.4
NAT
router
solution: Port forwarding: statically configure
NAT to forward incoming connection requests
at given port to server
 e.g., (123.76.29.7, port 2500) always forwarded
to 10.0.0.1 port 25000
Network Layer 4-31
NAT traversal problem

Solution 2: relaying (used in Skype)
 NATed client establishes connection to relay
 external client connects to relay
 relay bridges packets between two connections

Network Layer 4-49
Distance vector algorithm

Dx(y) = estimate of least cost from x to y
 x maintains distance vector Dx = [Dx(y): y є N ]

node x:
 knows cost to each neighbor v: c(x,v)
 maintains its neighbors’distance vectors.
• For each neighbor v, x maintains Dv = [Dv(y): y є N ]
Network Layer 4-50
Distance vector algorithm
key idea:


from time-to-time, each node sends its own
distance vector estimate to neighbors
when x receives new DV estimate from neighbor,
it updates its own DV using B-F equation:
Dx(y) ← minv{c(x,v) + Dv(y)} for each node y ∊ N

RIP: link failure, recovery
if no advertisement heard after 180 sec -->
neighbor/link declared dead
 routes via neighbor invalidated
 new advertisements sent to neighbors
 neighbors in turn send out new advertisements
• if tables changed
 link failure info quickly (?) propagates to entire net
 poison reverse used to prevent ping-pong loops
• infinite distance = 16 hops
Network Layer 4-69
OSPF (Open Shortest Path First)


“open”: publicly available
uses link state algorithm
 LS packet dissemination
 topology map at each node
 route computation using Dijkstra’s algorithm

OSPF advertisement carries one entry per neighbor

advertisements flooded to entire AS
 carried in OSPF messages directly over IP
Network Layer 4-70
OSPF “advanced” features (not in RIP)

multiple same-cost paths allowed
 only one path in RIP

for each link, multiple cost metrics for different TOS
 e.g., satellite link cost set “low” for best effort ToS;
high for real time ToS


integrated uni- and multicast support:
 Multicast OSPF (MOSPF) uses same topology data
base as OSPF

 each nodes has detailed area topology;
• only know direction (shortest path) to nets in other areas



area border routers: “summarize” distances to nets in
own area, advertise to other Area Border routers
backbone routers: run OSPF routing limited to backbone

Routing in
Mobile Ad hoc Networks
Why is Ad hoc Routing challenging?
– No infrastructure network facility
– Changing network conditions at a faster scale
– Host mobility
– Energy consumption
– Traditional routing algorithms assume relatively stable network
topology, few router failures
Tradeoff: Proactive vs. Reactive Routing Protocol
 Proactive Protocols
• have lower latency due to maintenance of routes at all times
• can result in much higher overhead due to frequent route updates
 Reactive Protocols may have
• higher latency since the routes have to be discovered when the source
node initiates a route request
• lower overhead since routes are maintained only on-demand basis

Which approach achieves a better tradeoff depends
on the traffic and mobility patterns
Reactive protocol: Dynamic
Source Routing (DSR)



When node S wants to send a packet to node D,
but does not know a route to D, node S initiates
a route discovery
Source node S floods Route Request (RREQ)
Each node appends own identifier when
forwarding RREQ

Route Discovery in DSR



Destination D on receiving the first RREQ, sends
a Route Reply (RREP)
RREP is sent on a route obtained by reversing the
route appended to received RREQ
RREP includes the route from S to D on which
RREQ was received by node D

Route Reply in DSR



Route Reply can be sent by reversing the route in Route Request (RREQ)
only if links are guaranteed to be bi-directional
 To ensure this, RREQ should be forwarded only if it received on a link
that is known to be bi-directional
If unidirectional (asymmetric) links are allowed, then RREP may need a route
discovery for S from node D
 Unless node D already knows a route to node S
 If a route discovery is initiated by D for a route to S, then the Route
Reply is piggybacked on the Route Request from D.
If IEEE 802.11 MAC is used to send data, then links have to be bi-directional
(since Ack is used)
© 2001 Nitin Vaidya
Dynamic Source Routing (DSR)


Node S on receiving RREP, caches the route
included in the RREP
When node S sends a data packet to D, the
entire route is included in the packet header
 hence the name source routing

Intermediate nodes use the source route included
in a packet to determine to whom a packet
should be forwarded

DSR Optimization:
Route Caching




Each node caches a new route it learns by any means
When node S finds route [S,E,F,J,D] to node D, node S also learns route
[S,E,F] to node F
When node K receives Route Request [S,C,G] destined for node, node K
learns route [K,G,C,S] to node S
When node F forwards Route Reply RREP [S,E,F,J,D], node F learns route
[F,J,D] to node D

When node E forwards Data [S,E,F,J,D] it learns route [E,F,J,D] to node D

A node may also learn a route when it overhears Data packets
© 2001 Nitin Vaidya
Use of Route Caching



When node S learns that a route to node D is broken, it
uses another route from its local cache, if such a route to
D exists in its cache. Otherwise, node S initiates route
discovery by sending a route request
Node X on receiving a Route Request for some node D
can send a Route Reply if node X knows a route to node
D
Use of route cache
 can speed up route discovery
 can reduce propagation of route requests

Route Caching: Beware!



Stale caches can adversely affect performance
With passage of time and host mobility, cached
routes may become invalid
A sender host may try several stale routes
(obtained from local cache, or replied from cache
by other nodes), before finding a good route
© 2001 Nitin Vaidya
Dynamic Source Routing:
Advantages

Routes maintained only between nodes who need
to communicate
 reduces overhead of route maintenance


Route caching can further reduce route discovery
overhead
A single route discovery may yield many routes
to the destination, due to intermediate nodes
replying from local caches
© 2001 Nitin Vaidya
Dynamic Source Routing:
Disadvantages


Packet header size grows with route length due to source routing
Care must be taken to avoid collisions between route requests propagated by
neighboring nodes
 Soln: insertion of random delays before forwarding RREQ

Increased contention if too many route replies come back due to nodes
replying using their local cache
 Route Reply Storm problem
 Reply storm may be eased by preventing a node from sending RREP if it
hears another RREP with a shorter route
© 2001 Nitin Vaidya
Dynamic Source Routing:
Disadvantages

An intermediate node may send Route Reply
using a stale cached route, thus polluting other
caches
