15 Header Checksum
z IP header uses check bits to detect errors in the header z A checksum is calculated for header contents z Checksum recalculated at every router, so algorithm selected for ease of implementation in software z Let header consist of L, 16-bit words,
b0, b1, b2, ..., bL-1 z The algorithm appends a 16-bit checksum bL
16 Checksum Calculation
The checksum bL is calculated as follows: z Treating each 16-bit word as an integer, find 15 x = b0 + b1 + b2+ ...+ bL-1 modulo 2 -1 z The checksum is then given by: 15 bL = - x modulo 2 -1 z This is the 16-bit 1’s complement sum of the b’s z If checksum is 0, use all 1’s representation (all zeros reserved to indicate checksum was not calculated) z Thus, the headers must satisfy the following pattern: 15 0 = b0 + b1 + b2+ ...+ bL-1 + bL modulo 2 -1
17 IP Header Processing
1. Compute header checksum for correctness and check that fields in header (e.g. version and total length) contain valid values 2. Consult routing table to determine next hop 3. Change fields that require updating (TTL, header checksum)

z In the 1990, two problems became apparent z IP addresses were being exhausted z IP routing tables were growing very large z IP Address Exhaustion z Class A, B, and C address structure inefficient z Class B too large for most organizations, but future proof z Class C too small z Rate of class B allocation implied exhaustion by 1994 z IP routing table size z Growth in number of networks in Internet reflected in # of table entries z From 1991 to 1995, routing tables doubled in size every 10 months z Stress on router processing power and memory allocation z Short-term solution: z Classless Interdomain Routing (CIDR), RFC 1518 z New allocation policy (RFC 2050) z Private IP Addresses set aside for intranets z Long-term solution: IPv6 with much bigger address space
33 Classless Inter-Domain Routing
z CIDR deals with Routing Table Explosion Problem z Networks represented by prefix and mask z Pre-CIDR: Network with range of 16 contiguous class C blocks requires 16 entries z Post-CIDR: Network with range of 16 contiguous class C blocks requires 1 entry z Solution: Route according to prefix of address, not class z Routing table entry has
35 Longest Prefix Match z CIDR impacts routing & forwarding z Routing tables and routing protocols must carry IP address and mask z Multiple entries may match a given IP destination address z Example: Routing table may contain z 205.100.0.0/22 which corresponds to a given supernet z 205.100.0.0/20 which results from aggregation of a larger number of destinations into a supernet z Packet must be routed using the more specific route, that is, the longest prefix match z Several fast longest-prefix matching algorithms are available 36 Address Resolution Protocol Although IP address identifies a host, the packet is physically delivered by an underlying network (e.g., Ethernet) which uses its own physical address (MAC address in Ethernet).

84 Phases of Congestion Behavior
R 1. Light traffic z Arrival Rate << R z Low delay z Can accommodate more
Throughput (bps) 2. Knee (congestion onset) Arrival z Arrival rate approaches R Rate z Delay increases rapidly z Throughput begins to saturate 3. Congestion collapse
Delay (sec) z Arrival rate > R z Large delays, packet loss Arrival z Useful application R Rate throughput drops 85 Window Congestion Control z Desired operating point: just before knee z Sources must control their sending rates so that aggregate arrival rate is just before knee z TCP sender maintains a congestion window cwnd to control congestion at intermediate routers z Effective window is minimum of congestion window and advertised window z Problem: source does not know what its “fair” share of available bandwidth should be z Solution: adapt dynamically to available BW z Sources probe the network by increasing cwnd z When congestion detected, sources reduce rate
z Ideally, sources sending rate stabilizes near ideal point 86 Congestion Window z How does the TCP congestion algorithm change congestion window dynamically according to the most up-to-date state of the network? z At light traffic: each segment is ACKed quickly z Increase cwnd aggresively z At knee: segment ACKs arrive, but more slowly z Slow down increase in cwnd z At congestion: segments encounter large delays (so retransmission timeouts occur); segments are dropped in router buffers (resulting in duplicate ACKs)
z Reduce transmission rate, then probe again 87 TCP Congestion Control: Slow Start
z Slow start: increase congestion window size by one segment upon receiving an ACK from receiver z initialized at ≤ 2 segments z used at (re)start of data transfer z congestion window increases exponentially

z Congestion is detected Congestion upon timeout or receipt of avoidance 20 duplicate ACKs Time-out z Assume current cwnd corresponds to available 15 bandwidth z Adjust congestion threshold Threshold = ½ x current cwnd 10 z Reset cwnd to 1 z Go back to slow-start Congestion window Congestion Slow start z Over several cycles expect 5 to converge to congestion threshold equal to about ½ the available bandwidth 0
Round-trip times 90 Fast Retransmit & Fast Recovery z Congestion causes many segments to be dropped z If only a single segment is dropped, then subsequent segments trigger duplicate ACKs before timeout SN=1 ACK=2 z Can avoid large decrease in cwnd as SN=2 follows: SN=3 SN=4 ACK=2 z When three duplicate ACKs arrive, SN=5 ACK=2 retransmit lost segment immediately ACK=2 z Reset congestion threshold to ½ cwnd z Reset cwnd to congestion threshold + 3 to account for the three segments that triggered duplicate ACKs z Remain in congestion avoidance phase z However if timeout expires, reset cwnd to 1 z In absence of timeouts, cwnd will oscillate around optimal value 91 TCP Congestion Control: Fast Retransmit & Fast Recovery

Routers exchange information using routing protocols to develop the routing tables 95 Autonomous Systems z Global Internet viewed as collection of autonomous systems. z Autonomous system (AS) is a set of routers or networks administered by a single organization z Same routing protocol need not be run within the AS z But, to the outside world, an AS should present a consistent picture of what ASs are reachable through it z Stub AS: has only a single connection to the outside world. z Multihomed AS: has multiple connections to the outside world, but refuses to carry transit traffic z Transit AS: has multiple connections to the outside world, and can carry transit and local traffic. 96 AS Number z For exterior routing, an AS needs a globally unique AS 16-bit integer number z Currently, there are about 11,000 registered ASs in Internet (and growing) z Stub AS, which is the most common type, does not need an AS number since the prefixes are placed at the provider’s routing table z Transit AS needs an AS number z Request an AS number from the ARIN, RIPE and APNIC

100 RIP Operation z Router sends update message to neighbors every 30 sec z A router expects to receive an update message from each of its neighbors within 180 seconds in the worst case z If router does not receive update message from neighbor X within this limit, it assumes the link to X has failed and sets the corresponding minimum cost to 16 (infinity) z Uses split horizon with poisoned reverse z Convergence speeded up by triggered updates z neighbors notified immediately of changes in distance vector table

105 Exterior Gateway Protocols z Within each AS, there is a consistent set of routes connecting the constituent networks z The Internet is woven into a coherent whole by Exterior Gateway Protocols (EGPs) that operate between AS’s z EGP enables two AS’s to exchange routing information about: z The networks that are contained within each AS z The AS’s that can be reached through each AS z EGP path selection guided by policy rather than path optimality z Trust, peering arrangements, etc
106 EGP Example
Only EGP routers are shown R2 R3 N1 reachable AS2 through AS3
R1 R4 N1 AS1 AS3
• R4 advertises that network N1 can be reached through AS3 • R3 examines announcement & applies policy to decide whether it will forward packets to N1 through R4
• If yes, routing table updated in R3 to indicate R4 as next hop to N1107 • IGP propagates N1 reachability information through AS2 EGP Example
R2 R3 N1 reachable through AS2 AS2
R1 R4 N1 AS1 AS3
• EGP routers within an AS, e.g. R3 and R2, are kept consistent • Suppose AS2 willing to handle transit packets from AS1 to N1 • R2 advertises to AS1 the reachability of N1 through AS2 • R1 applies its policy to decide whether to send to N1 via AS2 108 Peering and Inter-AS connectivity

AS4 AS7 z BGP (RFC 1771) an EGP routing protocol to exchange network reachability information among BGP routers (also called BGP speakers) z Network reachability info contains sequence of ASs that packets traverse to reach a destination network z Info exchanged between BGP speakers allows a router to construct a graph of AS connectivity z Routing loops can be pruned z Routing policy at AS level can be applied 111 BGP Features z BGP is path vector protocol: advertises sequence of AS numbers to the destination network z Path vector info used to prevent routing loops z BGP enforces policy through selection of different paths to a destination and by control of redistribution of routing information z Uses CIDR to support aggregation & reduction of routing information
112 BGP Speaker & AS Relationship z BGP speaker: a router running BGP z Peers or neighbors: two speakers exchanging information on a connection z BGP peers use TCP (port 179) to exchange messages z Initially, BGP peers exchange entire BGP routing table z Incremental updates sent subsequently z Reduces bandwidth usage and processing overhead z Keepalive messages sent periodically (30 seconds) z Internal BGP (iBPG) between BGP routers in same AS z External BGP (eBGP) connections across AS borders

115 BGP Policy z Examples of policy: z Never use AS X z Never use AS X to get to a destination in AS Y z Never use AS X and AS Y in the same path z Import policies to accept, deny, or set preferences on route advertisements from neighbors z Export policies to determine which routes should be advertised to which neighbors z A route is advertised only if AS is willing to carry traffic on that route 116 BGP Protocol z Opening & confirming of a BGP connection with a neighbor router z Maintaining the BGP connection z Sending reachability information z Notification of error conditions
