Network-layer services and protocols
Two key network-layer functions
transport segment from sending to receiving host
sender: encapsulates segments into datagrams, passes to link layer
receiver: delivers segments to transport layer protocol
network layer protocols in every Internet device: hosts, routers
routers:
examinesheaderfieldsinallIP
datagrams passing through it
movesdatagramsfrominputportsto output ports to transfer datagrams along end-end path
mobile network
network-layer functions:
forwarding: move packets from a routers input link to appropriate router output link
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

Network layer: data plane, control plane
Per-router control plane
Individual routing algorithm components in each and every router interact in the control plane
Data plane:
local, per-router function determines how datagram
arriving on router input port is forwarded to router output port
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:

Figure 4.2 Routing algorithms determine values in forward tables
tables. In this example, a routing algorithm runs in each and every router and both forwarding and routing functions are contained within a router. As well see in Sec- tions 5.3 and 5.4, the routing algorithm function in one router communicates with the routing algorithm function in other routers to compute the values for its forward- ing table. How is this communication performed? By exchanging routing messages containing routing information according to a routing protocol! Well cover routing algorithms and protocols in Sections 5.2 through 5.4.
The distinct and different purposes of the forwarding and routing functions can be further illustrated by considering the hypothetical (and unrealistic, but technically feasible) case of a network in which all forwarding tables are configured directly by human network operators physically present at the routers. In this case, no routing protocols would be required! Of course, the human operators would need to interact with each other to ensure that the forwarding tables were configured in such a way that packets reached their intended destinations. Its also likely that human configu- ration would be more error-prone and much slower to respond to changes in the net- work topology than a routing protocol. Were thus fortunate that all networks have both a forwarding and a routing function!

Reflections on best-effort service:
simplicity of mechanism has allowed Internet to be widely deployed adopted
sufficient provisioning of bandwidth allows performance of real-time applications (e.g., interactive voice, video) to be good enough for most of the time
replicated, application-layer distributed services (datacenters, content distribution networks) connecting close to clients networks, allow services to be provided from multiple locations
congestion control of elastic services helps
Its hard to argue with success of best-effort service model

Longest prefix matching
well 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: ~1M routing table entries in TCAM
Network Layer: 4-23
Switching fabrics
transfer packet from input link to appropriate output link
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

Switching fabrics
transfer packet from input link to appropriate output link
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 major types of switching fabrics:
memory bus interconnection network
memory
Network Layer: 4-25
Switching via memory
first generation routers:
traditional computers with switching under direct control of CPU
packet copied to systems memory
speed limited by memory bandwidth (2 bus crossings per datagram)
input port (e.g., Ethernet)
memory
output port (e.g., Ethernet)
system bus
Network Layer: 4-26
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 routers
Network Layer: 4-27
Switching via interconnection network
Crossbar, Clos networks, other interconnection nets initially developed to connect processors in multiprocessor
multistage switch: nxn switch from multiple stages of smaller switches

Input port queuing
If switch 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 one packet time later: green
datagram can be transferred. lower red packet experiences HOL blocking packet is blocked

Output port queuing

(rate: NR) queueing R
Buffering required when datagrams arrive from fabric faster than link transmission rate. Drop policy: which datagrams to drop if no free buffers?
Scheduling discipline chooses among queued datagrams for transmission
This is a really important slide
Datagrams can be lost due to congestion, lack of buffers
Priority scheduling who gets best performance, network neutrality
Network Layer: 4-31
link layer protocol (send)
line termination
Output port queuing
at t, packets more one packet time later from input to output
buffering when arrival rate via switch exceeds output line speed queueing (delay) and loss due to output port buffer overflow!

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 Gbps link: 2.5 Gbit buffer
more recent recommendation: with N flows, buffering equal to
RTT.C
N
but too much buffering can increase delays (particularly in home routers)
long RTTs: poor performance for realtime apps, sluggish TCP response
recall delay-based congestion control: keep bottleneck link just full enough (busy) but no fuller

2015 US FCC Order on Protecting and Promoting an Open Internet: three clear, bright line rules:
no blocking shall not block lawful content, applications, services, or non-harmful devices, subject to reasonable network management.
no throttling shall not impair or degrade lawful Internet traffic on the basis of Internet content, application, or service, or use of a non-harmful device, subject to reasonable network management.

ISP: telecommunications or information service?
Is an ISP a telecommunications service or an information service provider?
the answer really matters from a regulatory standpoint!
US Telecommunication Act of 1934 and 1996:
Title II: imposes common carrier duties on telecommunications
services: reasonable rates, non-discrimination and requires regulation Title I: applies to information services:
no common carrier duties (not regulated)
but grants FCC authority as may be necessary in the execution of its functions4

IP addresses: how to get one?
Q: how does network get subnet part of IP address?
A: gets allocated portion of its provider ISPs address space
ISPs block 11001000 00010111 00010000 00000000 200.23.16.0/20
ISP can then allocate out its address space in 8 blocks:

IP addressing: last words
Q: how does an ISP get block of addresses?
A: ICANN: Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers http://www.icann.org/
allocates IP addresses, through 5 regional registries (RRs) (who may then allocate to local registries)
manages DNS root zone, including
delegation of individual TLD (.com, .edu , ) management
Q: are there enough 32-bit IP addresses?
ICANN allocated last chunk of IPv4 addresses to RRs in 2011
NAT (next) helps IPv4 address space exhaustion
IPv6 has 128-bit address space
Who the hell knew how much address space we needed? Vint Cerf (reflecting on decision to make IPv4 address 32 bits long)

NAT: network address translation
NAT: all devices in local network share just one IPv4 address as far as outside world is concerned
rest of Internet
138.76.29.7
all datagrams leaving local network have same source NAT IP address: 138.76.29.7, but different source port numbers
local network (e.g., home network) 10.0.0/24
10.0.0.4
10.0.0.1 10.0.0.2 10.0.0.3
datagrams with source or destination in this network have 10.0.0/24 address for source, destination (as usual)
Network Layer: 4-65
NAT: network address translation
all devices in local network have 32-bit addresses in a private IP address space (10/8, 172.16/12, 192.168/16 prefixes) that can only be used in local network
advantages:
just one IP address needed from provider ISP for all devices
can change addresses of host in local network without notifying
outside world
can change ISP without changing addresses of devices in local
network
security: devices inside local net not directly addressable, visible by outside world
Network Layer: 4-66

NAT: network address translation
implementation: NAT router must (transparently):
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 address
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 destination fields of every incoming datagram with corresponding (source IP address, port #) stored in NAT table

NAT: network address translation
NAT has been controversial:
routers should only process up to layer 3
address shortage should be solved by IPv6
violates end-to-end argument (port # manipulation by network-layer device) NAT traversal: what if client wants to connect to server behind NAT?
but NAT is here to stay:
extensively used in home and institutional nets, 4G/5G cellular nets
Network Layer: 4-69

Architectural Principles of the Internet

Many members of the Internet community would argue that there is no architecture, but only a tradition, which was not written down for the first 25 years (or at least not by the IAB). However, in very general terms,
network.
Three cornerstone beliefs: simple connectivity
IP protocol: that narrow waist
intelligence, complexity at network edge
the community believes that
the goal is connectivity, the tool is the Internet Protocol, and the intelligence is end to end rather than hidden in the

The end-end argument
some network functionality (e.g., reliable data transfer, congestion) can be implemented in network, or at network edge
The function in question can completely and correctly be implemented only with the knowledge and help of the application standing at the end points of the communication system. Therefore, providing that questioned function as a feature of the communication system itself is not possible. (Sometimes an incomplete version of the function provided by the communication system may be useful as a performance enhancement.)
We call this line of reasoning against low-level function implementation the end- to-end argument.
