Network LayerNetwork Layer• Main concern: end-to-end transmission

– Perhaps over many hops at intermediate nodes

• Services provided to transport layer– Transport segment from sending

to receiving host – On sending side

encapsulates segments into datagrams– On receiving side, delivers segments

to transport layer

• Network layer protocols in every host, router

• Router examines header fields in all IP datagrams passing through it

Two Key Network-Layer FunctionsTwo Key Network-Layer Functions

• Routing: determine route taken by packets from source to destination

• Forwarding: move packets from router’s input to appropriate router output

Analogy:

• Routing: process of planning trip from source to destination

• Forwarding: process of getting through single intersection

Forwarding table isalso referred to as routing table

Network Service ModelNetwork Service ModelQ: 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

• Best effort

Example services for a flow of datagrams:

• In-order datagram delivery• Guaranteed minimum

bandwidth to flow• Restrictions on changes in

inter-packet spacing• No guarantee whatsoever

88


Network Layer Connection and Network Layer Connection and Connection-less ServiceConnection-less Service

• Datagram network provides network-layer connectionless service

• Virtual Circuit network provides network-layer connection-oriented service

99


Datagram NetworksDatagram Networks• No call setup at network layer• Routers: no state about end-to-end connections

– no network-level concept of “connection”

• Packets forwarded using destination host address– packets between same source-dest pair may take different paths

Routing within a Datagram SubnetRouting within a Datagram Subnet

• Router has forwarding table telling which outgoing line to use for each possible destination router

• Each datagram has full destination address• When packet arrives, router looks up outgoing line to use

and transmits packet

1111


Virtual CircuitsVirtual Circuits

• Call setup for each call before data can flow (teardown afterwards)• Each packet carries VC identifier (not destination host address)• Every router on source-dest path maintains “state” for each

passing connection• Link, router resources (bandwidth, buffers) may be allocated to VC

(dedicated resources = predictable service)

“source-to-dest path behaves much like telephone circuit”– performance-wise– network actions along source-to-destination path

1212


VC ImplementationVC Implementation

A VC consists of:1. Path from source to destination

2. VC numbers, one number for each link along path

3. Entries in forwarding tables in routers along path

• Packet belonging to VC carries VC number (rather than destination address)

• VC number can be changed on each link– New VC number comes from forwarding table

1313


Virtual Circuit Network Virtual Circuit Network

Routers maintain connection state information!

Virtual Circuits: Signaling ProtocolsVirtual Circuits: Signaling Protocols

• Used to setup, maintain teardown VC• Used in ATM, frame-relay, X.25• Not used in today’s Internet

Datagram or VC Network: Why?Datagram or VC Network: Why?

Internet (datagram)• data exchange among

computers– “elastic” service, no strict

timing requirement • “smart” end systems

(computers)– can adapt, perform

control, error recovery– simple inside network,

complexity at “edge”

ATM (VC)• evolved from telephony• human conversation:

– strict timing, reliability requirements

– need for guaranteed service

• “dumb” end systems– telephones– complexity inside

network

1616


What’s in a Router?What’s in a Router?• Run routing algorithms/protocol (RIP, OSPF, BGP)• Forwarding datagrams from incoming to outgoing link

1717


Input Port FunctionsInput Port Functions

Decentralized switching: • given datagram dest., lookup output

port using forwarding table in input port memory

• queuing: newly arrived datagrams might be queued before processing

Physical layer:bit-level reception

Data link layer:e.g., Ethernet

1818


Output PortsOutput Ports

• Buffering required when datagrams arrive from fabric faster than the transmission rate

• Scheduling discipline chooses among queued datagrams for transmission

1919


Routing AlgorithmsRouting Algorithms

• Least-cost in what sense?– Number of hops, geographical distance, least

queueing and transmission delay

• Desirable properties– Correctness, simplicity– Robustness to faults– Stability – converge to equilibrium

Routing algorithm: algorithm that finds least-cost path

2020


Routing Algorithm ClassificationRouting Algorithm Classification

Static or dynamic?• Non-adaptive (static) - Route computed in

advance, off-line, downloaded to routers• Adaptive (dynamic) - Route based on

measurements or estimates of current traffic and topology

2121


Routing Algorithm ClassificationRouting Algorithm Classification

Global or decentralized information?• Global:

– all routers have complete topology & link cost info– “link state” algorithms

• Decentralized: – router knows physically-connected neighbors, link

costs to neighbors– iterative process of computation, exchange of info

with neighbors– “distance vector” algorithms

2222


Link State RoutingLink State RoutingBasic idea• Assumes net topology, link costs known to all

nodes– Accomplished via “link state broadcast” – All nodes have same info

• Computes least cost paths from one node (‘source”) to all other nodes, using Dijkstra’s Algorithm– Gives forwarding table for that node

2323


DijkstraDijkstra’’s Algorithms Algorithm• Each node labeled with distance from source

node along best known path• Initially, no paths known so all nodes labeled with

infinity• As algorithm proceeds, labels may change

reflecting shortest path• Label may be tentative or permanent, initially, all

tentative• When label represents shortest path from source

to node, label becomes permanent

2424


Compute Shortest Path from A to DCompute Shortest Path from A to D

• Start with node A as the initial working node• Examine each of the nodes adjacent to A, i.e., B and G,

relabeling them with the distance to A• Examine all the tentatively labeled nodes in the

whole graph and make the one with the smallest label permanent, i.e., B. B is the new working node
