As the 38 0890-8044/92/$03 00 OIEEE IEEE Network May 1993 --I_--____ - _- ._ ~-~ Internet grows, routing databases must grow more slowly than linearly with respect to the number of addressable hosts. To accomplish this, network addresses should (to some measure) reflect network topology - the greater the congruencebetween the address hier- archy and the network topology,the greater the abil- ity to use topological abstraction to reduce the size of routing information. This implies the need for multiple levels of hierarchy, and sufficiently flex- ible address structure and assignment to support them. Network addresses must be carefully assigned to achieve significant reductions in routing data base size. Wholesale addressing changes may be nec- essary as site connectivity is altered to avoid address- ing entropy. Routing protocols need to allow exceptions to the addressing hierarchy to be sup- ported at a reasonable cost, to ease addressing transitions and provide for the attachment of net- works to multiple service providers. Scaling Problems of IP Internet routing treats IP network numbers as a set of flat identifiers, with each network requiring a routing table entry. As a result, Internet routing becomes less tractable with respect to processor and memory requirements as the number of IP net- work addresses increases. Demand for Class B addresses will result in exhaustion of the B space before 1995.Then, Class C addresseswill be assigned to new Internet sites, and sites with more than 254 hosts will need to use multiple network addresses. The current load of 10,000 networks W Figure 1.

  • Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM)
    ATM v1.03 – Aaron Balchunas 1 - Asynchronous Transfer Mode - Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) is a high-speed, non-broadcast Layer 2 technology, similar in many respects to Frame Relay. In addition to supporting higher bandwidths, ATM integrates QoS mechanisms directly into the technology. ATM is thus a very flexible technology, supporting data, voice and video traffic. Other Layer 2 technologies, such as Ethernet or Token Ring, support variable-sized packets. For example, Ethernet packets are 1514 bytes by default, but the MTU can be changed. ATM utilizes fixed-sized packets called cells. Each cell is exactly 53 bytes. Because the cell size is always consistent, traffic can be routed or switched far more efficiently. Two ATM interface types exist: • User-Network Interface (UNI) – connects an ATM end-user device to an ATM switch or router • Network-Network Interface (NNI) – connects an ATM switch to another ATM switch ATM, like Frame Relay, builds Virtual Channels ( or Circuits ) between ATM devices. These virtual channels can be permanent (PVC) or switched (SVC) , and are one-way . Each virtual channel is identified by a Virtual Channel Identifier (VCI), the equivalent of a Frame-Relay DLCI. The VCI is only locally significant to the router/switch. Multiple virtual channels can then be bundled together into a Virtual Path, which is identified by a Virtual Path Identifier (VPI) . Like VCI’s, a VPI is only locally significant. A VPI essentially identifies a “route” between two ATM devices. * * * All original material copyright © 2007 by Aaron Balchunas ( [email protected] ), unless otherwise noted.

  • 13 Network Layer
    13 THE NETWORK LAYER Like all the other OSI layers, the network layer provides both connection- less and connection-oriented services. The upper layers and transport provide these two types of service to satisfy a broad range of application and end-user needs. This is universally recognized as a “good thing.” In the network layer, the presence of two types of service is generally con- sidered to be a “bad thing.” The reason for this is simple: everything above the network layer is host-specific and can be tailored to suit a par- ticular application running among some set of mutually consenting hosts without affecting the communications of other hosts using the same internetwork; the network layer, however, provides the fundamental connectivity without which no communication of any kind can take place among hosts. Most people agree that having one type of service at the network layer would be preferable to having two; as always, though, the problem stems from having to decide which one.1 The TCP/IP architecture, which from the beginning was based on an “internetworking” model of the network layer,2 avoided this contro- versy entirely; the TCP/IP network layer is exclusively connectionless.3 1. There are people who attempt to justify a “diversity of needs” at the network layer, but their sense of what constitutes interoperability is quite different from ours. 2. The best (and certainly the most succinct) description of the fundamental architec- tural premise of the TCP/IP network layer is the one that Vint Cerf uses to describe the TCP/IP internetworking model: “I P on everything.” 3.

  • Open Network Addressing Previous Screen Howard Berkowitz Payoff Problems in Addressing Rank Among the Chief Reasons That Networked Components Fail to Interoperate
    52-10-20 Open Network Addressing Previous screen Howard Berkowitz Payoff Problems in addressing rank among the chief reasons that networked components fail to interoperate. The latest network addressing schemes can scale up to accommodate extremely large open internetworks; these schemes can coexist with older addressing methods that were suitable only for smaller networks. Introduction Proprietary networking architectures (e.g., System Network Architecture and NetWare) were designed to suit single organizations. The Novell identifier assigned to a workstation in one company can therefore duplicate that of a workstation in another company, and as business requirements continue to encourage internal and external networking among organizations, the duplication problem becomes much more significant. Proprietary address schemes also limit users' abilities to select alternative vendors' solutions when those alternatives use different yet incompatible addressing schemes. Basics of Naming and Addressing Names and addresses are the attributes of network objects that enable them to be found and identified by other network objects. A name can exist at different locations; an address is a specific logical or physical place at which names can be located. The systems that accomplish internetworking make use of addresses, not names. Names, on the other hand, are more easily understood by the human users of networks, so there must be a provision for translating names for the use of automated network elements. A subscriber's initial business relationship to a telephone company, for example, is based on a human name, which is then associated with a unique account number. The account number is then associated with one or more software-defined unique telephone numbers, and these telephone numbers are then associated with real wires at real locations.

  • Asynchronous Transfer Mode Switching
    CHAPTER27 Chapter Goals • Understand the ATM cell structure. • Identify the ATM model layers. • Know the ATM connection types. • Describe the call establishment process. • Understand the purpose of each LANE component. • Describe LANE operations. • Know the purpose of MPOA. Asynchronous Transfer Mode Switching Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) is an International Telecommunication Union–Telecommunications Standards Section (ITU-T) standard for cell relay wherein information for multiple service types, such as voice, video, or data, is conveyed in small, fixed-size cells. ATM networks are connection-oriented. This chapter provides summaries of ATM protocols, services, and operation. Figure 27-1 illustrates a private ATM network and a public ATM network carrying voice, video, and data traffic. Internetworking Technologies Handbook 1-58705-001-3 27-1 Chapter 27 Asynchronous Transfer Mode Switching Standards Figure 27-1 A Private ATM Network and a Public ATM Network Both Can Carry Voice, Video, and Data Traffic Data ATM switch Voice Video Shared hub To Public WAN ATM network Router Private ATM network Standards ATM is based on the efforts of the ITU-T Broadband Integrated Services Digital Network (B-ISDN) standard. It was originally conceived as a high-speed transfer technology for voice, video, and data over public networks. The ATM Forum extended the ITU-T’s vision of ATM for use over public and private networks. The ATM Forum has released work on the following specifications: • User-to-Network Interface (UNI) 2.0 • UNI 3.0 • UNI 3.1 • UNI 4.0 • Public-Network Node Interface (P-NNI) • LAN Emulation (LANE) • Multiprotocol over ATM ATM Devices and the Network Environment ATM is a cell-switching and multiplexing technology that combines the benefits of circuit switching (guaranteed capacity and constant transmission delay) with those of packet switching (flexibility and efficiency for intermittent traffic).

Also called 24th channel signaling. AAL ATM adaptation layer. Service-dependent sublayer of the data link layer. The AAL accepts data from different applications and presents it to the ATM layer in the form of 48-byte ATM payload segments. AALs consist of two sublayers, CS and SAR. AALs differ on the basis of the source-destination timing used, whether they use CBR or VBR, and whether they are used for connection-oriented or connectionless mode data transfer. At present, the four types of AAL recommended by the ITU-T are AAL1, AAL2, AAL3/4, and AAL5. See AAL1, AAL2, AAL3/4, AAL5, CS, and SAR. See also ATM and ATM layer. AAL1 ATM adaptation layer 1. One of four AALs recommended by the ITU-T. AAL1 is used for connection-oriented, delay- sensitive services requiring constant bit rates, such as uncompressed video and other isochronous traffic. See also AAL. AAL2 ATM adaptation layer 2. One of four AALs recommended by the ITU-T. AAL2 is used for connection-oriented services that support a variable bit rate, such as some isochronous video and voice traffic. See also AAL. AAL3/4 ATM adaptation layer 3/4. One of four AALs (merged from two initially distinct adaptation layers) recommended by the ITU-T.

May 14th, 2008 Jussi Ryynänen Supervisor: Professor Raimo Kantola Instructor: D.Sc.(Tech.) Mika Ilvesmäki, Mamentor Oy HELSINKI UNIVERSITY ABSTRACT OF THE OF TECHNOLOGY MASTER’S THESIS Author: Jussi Matias Ryynänen Name of the Thesis: Routed End-to-End Ethernet – Proof of Concept Date: May 14th, 2008 Number of Pages: xi + 85 Department: Department of Professorship: S-38 Communications and Networking Supervisor: Professor Raimo Kantola Instructor: D.Sc.(Tech.) Mika Ilvesmäki, Mamentor Oy The main goal of this thesis is to investigate and analyse the Ethernet and IEEE 802.1 standards, and IPv4 and IPv6 protocols. From those combine a new idea of Routed End-to-End Ethernet in theory and to build a Proof of Concept network that shows it in a small scale. This concept would solve the address exhaustion problem by using MAC and NSAP addresses for host identification and for routing Ethernet packets in the network. From Ethernet and IEEE 802.1 standards we found that the main problem of the Ethernet is that it does not have hierarchical addresses. Hierarchical addresses would allow efficient routing enabling the network to scale globally. IEEE 802.1 has many standards with features for scaling Ethernet networks better, but they are still not enough. The only routing protocols used in the Ethernet networks are still the Spanning Tree Protocols.
