IP Protocol

• Primarily for routing

• Version 4 uses 32-bit address

• Version 6 uses 128-bit address

• IP is hierarchical vs MAC which is flat andunique for each node

IP address Notation – The IP address consists of 32 bits, e.g.

11000000011001000110010000000001.

 – Four octets, which for ease of reference couldbe called a,b,c,d or w,x,y,z. We then converteach octet to decimal and write it thus:

• w x y z

• 11000000.01100100.01100100.00000001

• or• 192.100.100.1

www.eit.edu.au

NetId and HostId

• Two portions to IP address

• Network ID (NetID)

• Host ID (HostID)

Transmission Control Protocol• Connection oriented

• Reliable

• Establishes a session before data istransmitted

• Significant overhead in processing andheader

www.eit.edu.au

TCP functions

• Fragmentation

• Data stream reconstruction

• Receipt acknowledgement

• Socket services for multiple connections

• Packet verification and error control

• Flow Control

• Packet sequencing and reordering

Ports and Sockets• TCP needs to know which process on a

particular machine the packet is destinedfor.

• Done by port assignments

• Specific port numbers are assigned by theIANA

• Well know ports

• IP address + Port number = socket• Thus three addresses are used:

(MAC/IP/Port#)

Two methods of Operation• Static routing

• Dynamic Routing

 – Distance Vector

 – Link-state

 – Hybrids

www.eit.edu.au

Static Routing

• Fixed static routes configured by networkadministrator.

• Optimum routes are programmed in.

• Good for security as ingress into yurnetwork can be controlled.

Three methods of dynamic routing• Distance vector

• Link-state

• Hybrids

www.eit.edu.au

Distance-vector routing

• Periodically pass copies of their tables toimmediate network neighbours.

• Each recipient adds a distance vector to

its table.

Advantages of distance-vector• Simple to configure/maintain and use.

• RIP uses only distance to work out bestroute.

www.eit.edu.au

Drawbacks to Distance-vector

• Some time to converge on newunderstanding of network.

• Bandwidth and traffic levels can affect

performance of network.

www.eit.edu.au

Link-state routing• Shortest path first protocols

• Exchange of link-state advertisements(LSA) to other routers.

• LSA’s are triggered by an event ratherthan running periodically.

www.eit.edu.au

Disadvantages of Link State

• Flood the network during initial discoveryprocess

• Memory and processor intensive

Advantages• Gracefully weather effects of topology

changes

• Lower overheads as no time-drivenupdates

• Better scalability for networks

www.eit.edu.au

Hybridized Routing

• Use distance vector metrics

• More accurate than conventional distance-vector protocols

• Converge more rapidly than distance-vector but avoid overheads of link-stateupdates.

• Best example is EIGRP.

www.eit.edu.au

Convergence• Whenever a change occurs in a network’s

topology, all routers must develop a newunderstanding of new topology.

• Routers take time to converge to the newconsensus of what the topology is.

Routing Protocols• RIP and

• RIP 2

• IGRP

• OSPF

www.eit.edu.au

Routing Information Protocol

• One of the oldest routing protocols.

• RIP uses a special packet to collect andshare information about distances.

• RIP is a routing protocol; not a routed protocol (e.g. TCP/IP).

www.eit.edu.au

Operation of RIP• Routers periodically pass copies of their

routing tables to immediate neighbours.

• Each recipient adds a distance vector tothe table and forwards the table to itsimmediate neighbours.

• RIP uses as a metric the hop count.

• RIP only records one route per destination(even if there are more).

www.eit.edu.au

Limitations of RIP (RoutingInformation Protocol)

• Hop count restriction

• Least hop path

• High routing overhead

• Routing flexibility is not allowed

Formula - Metric• Metric = K * Bandwidth + (K2 *

Bandwidth)/(256 - Load) + K3 * Delay

• K1,K2 and K3 are weighting factors

Reliability added in...

• Metric = Metric * [K5/(reliability +K4)

Limitations of IGRP

• Does not include subnet maskinformation

• Does not support the use of VLSM

• Sends updates to the broadcastaddress

www.eit.edu.au

Open Shortest Path First (OSPF)

• Link State Routing Protocol

• Distance vector know nothing abouttopology of network

• OSPF assign a “path cost” to routes• Divide reference bandwidth by circuits

preconfigured bandwidth

Example of calculation• Cisco uses reference bandwith of

100MBps

• 100 MBps circuit has an OSPF cost of100/100 = 1

• A 1.544Mbps circuit has an OSPF cost of100/1.544 = 65

• OSPF routers pick the lowest cost path(i.e. highest speed)
