  • The Network Layer: Control Plane
    CHAPTER 5 The Network Layer: Control Plane In this chapter, we’ll complete our journey through the network layer by covering the control-plane component of the network layer—the network-wide logic that con- trols not only how a datagram is forwarded among routers along an end-to-end path from the source host to the destination host, but also how network-layer components and services are configured and managed. In Section 5.2, we’ll cover traditional routing algorithms for computing least cost paths in a graph; these algorithms are the basis for two widely deployed Internet routing protocols: OSPF and BGP, that we’ll cover in Sections 5.3 and 5.4, respectively. As we’ll see, OSPF is a routing protocol that operates within a single ISP’s network. BGP is a routing protocol that serves to interconnect all of the networks in the Internet; BGP is thus often referred to as the “glue” that holds the Internet together. Traditionally, control-plane routing protocols have been implemented together with data-plane forwarding functions, monolithi- cally, within a router. As we learned in the introduction to Chapter 4, software- defined networking (SDN) makes a clear separation between the data and control planes, implementing control-plane functions in a separate “controller” service that is distinct, and remote, from the forwarding components of the routers it controls. We’ll cover SDN controllers in Section 5.5. In Sections 5.6 and 5.7 we’ll cover some of the nuts and bolts of managing an IP network: ICMP (the Internet Control Message Protocol) and SNMP (the Simple Network Management Protocol).

  • IS-IS Client for BFD C-Bit Support
    IS-IS Client for BFD C-Bit Support The Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD) protocol provides short-duration detection of failures in the path between adjacent forwarding engines while maintaining low networking overheads. The BFD IS-IS Client Support feature enables Intermediate System-to-Intermediate System (IS-IS) to use Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD) support, which improves IS-IS convergence as BFD detection and failure times are faster than IS-IS convergence times in most network topologies. The IS-IS Client for BFD C-Bit Support feature enables the network to identify whether a BFD session failure is genuine or is the result of a control plane failure due to a router restart. When planning a router restart, you should configure this feature on all neighboring routers. • Finding Feature Information, on page 1 • Prerequisites for IS-IS Client for BFD C-Bit Support, on page 1 • Information About IS-IS Client for BFD C-Bit Support, on page 2 • How to Configure IS-IS Client for BFD C-Bit Support, on page 2 • Configuration Examples for IS-IS Client for BFD C-Bit Support, on page 3 • Additional References, on page 4 • Feature Information for IS-IS Client for BFD C-Bit Support, on page 4 Finding Feature Information Your software release may not support all the features documented in this module.

  • Single-Chip Control/Data-Plane Processors Trends, Features, Deployment
    Single-Chip Control/Data-Plane Processors Trends, Features, Deployment By Linley Gwennap Principal Analyst June 2008 www.linleygroup.com Single-Chip Control/Data-Plane Processors By Linley Gwennap, Principal Analyst, The Linley Group This paper examines the trend toward combining control-plane and data-plane processing on a single chip. It discusses the technologies driving this trend, the common features of these chips, their advantages and disadvantages, and how they are being deployed today and into the future. What Is an SCDP? A single-chip control/data-plane processor (SCDP) combines control-plane and data- plane processing on a single chip. In networking or communications equipment, the data plane processes each packet as it passes through the system. Data-plane tasks may include converting packets from one protocol to another, encrypting or decrypting data, filtering unwanted packets, prioritizing packets, and routing them to their next destina- tion. A relatively simple processor with a small amount of software can perform these tasks, but they must be done quickly. Packets must be processed at least at wire speed, that is, the speed of the incoming network connection (e.g., 1Gbps for a Gigabit Ethernet connection). The control plane handles packets that require extra processing, typically about 5% to 10% of all packets. The most common example is a routing update (e.g., RIP, BGP); the control plane maintains the route table. The control plane may also process other protocols (e.g., ARP) that are too complex for the data plane, or legacy protocols (e.g., SNA, AppleTalk) that are rarely encountered. Finally, the control plane also handles management tasks such as system configuration and logging.

The address is made up of 32 binary bits which can be divisible into a network portion and host portion with the help of a subnet mask. 32 binary bits are broken into four octets (1 octet = 8 bits) Dotted decimal format (for example, 172.16.254.1) REDDIG II | Network Course | Module 2 | 3 IP Addressing and Subnetting Binary and Decimal Conversion REDDIG II | Network Course | Module 2 | 4 IP Addressing and Subnetting IP Address Classes • IP classes are used to assist in assigning IP addresses to networks with different size requirements. • Classful addressing: REDDIG II | Network Course | Module 2 | 5 IP Addressing and Subnetting Private Address Range • Private IP addresses provide an entirely separate set of addresses that still allow access on a network but without taking up a public IP address space. • Private addresses are not allowed to be routed out to the Internet, so devices using private addresses cannot communicate directly with devices on the Internet. REDDIG II | Network Course | Module 2 | 6 IP Addressing and Subnetting Network Masks • Distinguishes which portion of the address identifies the network and which portion of the address identifies the node. • Default masks: Class A: 255.0.0.0 Class B: 255.255.0.0 Class C: 255.255.255.0 • Once you have the address and the mask represented in binary, then identification of the network and host ID is easier.

  • A Exploration of Multi-Protocol Label Switching (Mpls) Network: a Review
    ISSN- 2394-5125 VOL 7, ISSUE 13, 2020 A EXPLORATION OF MULTI-PROTOCOL LABEL SWITCHING (MPLS) NETWORK: A REVIEW Nisha 1, Dr. Rashid Hussain 2 Ph.D. Scholar 1, Associate Professor 2 Suresh Gyan Vihar University, Mahal Jagatpura, Jaipur 1, 2 Received: 14 March 2020 Revised and Accepted: 8 July 2020 ABSTRACT: The central principle of the Multiprotocol Label Switching Network (MPLS) utilizes Label Switching Path (LSP) technology that provides high efficiency in packet transmission without needing to check for routing tables. Nevertheless, where a connection breakdown happens in an MPLS network, the reconstruction of a new path may entail further overhead. The MPLS (Multi-Protocol Label Switching) network is increasingly moving into a general and converged network capable of exchanging multi-service (voice, data, and video) information on the same IP-based network. Quality of service (QoS) has been progressively a critical requirement for new applications carrying MPLS networks. It realization helps service companies to develop the methods of network design and include full network services and to resolve any loss. This article describes a standard network loss (the loss would contribute to the restoration of the path in the MPLS network by using MPLS) and the network failure on the basis of exploratory study findings. KEYWORD: Multi-Protocol Label Switching (MPLS), Label Switch Path (LSP), Quality of Service (QoS) I. INTRODUCTION MPLS (Multi-Protocol Label Switching) is used as the core technologies of multiple autonomous systems in many business networks and public infrastructures. This is a connection-oriented infrastructure intended to solve the challenges of today’s network in terms of volume, scalability and traffic engineering.
