  • Ipv6 Addresses
    56982_CH04II 12/12/97 3:34 PM Page 57 CHAPTER 44 IPv6 Addresses As we already saw in Chapter 1 (Section 1.2.1), the main innovation of IPv6 addresses lies in their size: 128 bits! With 128 bits, 2128 addresses are available, which is ap- proximately 1038 addresses or, more exactly, 340.282.366.920.938.463.463.374.607.431.768.211.456 addresses1. If we estimate that the earth’s surface is 511.263.971.197.990 square meters, the result is that 655.570.793.348.866.943.898.599 IPv6 addresses will be available for each square meter of earth’s surface—a number that would be sufficient considering future colo- nization of other celestial bodies! On this subject, we suggest that people seeking good hu- mor read RFC 1607, “A View From The 21st Century,” 2 which presents a “retrospective” analysis written between 2020 and 2023 on choices made by the IPv6 protocol de- signers. 56982_CH04II 12/12/97 3:34 PM Page 58 58 Chapter Four 4.1 The Addressing Space IPv6 designers decided to subdivide the IPv6 addressing space on the ba- sis of the value assumed by leading bits in the address; the variable-length field comprising these leading bits is called the Format Prefix (FP)3. The allocation scheme adopted is shown in Table 4-1.

  • Information About Implementing Ipv6 Multicast Routing
    Implementing IPv6 Multicast • Information About Implementing IPv6 Multicast Routing, on page 1 • Implementing IPv6 Multicast, on page 9 • Additional References, on page 31 • Feature Information, on page 32 Information About Implementing IPv6 Multicast Routing This chapter describes how to implement IPv6 multicast routing on the switch. Traditional IP communication allows a host to send packets to a single host (unicast transmission) or to all hosts (broadcast transmission). IPv6 multicast provides a third scheme, allowing a host to send a single data stream to a subset of all hosts (group transmission) simultaneously. IPv6 Multicast Overview An IPv6 multicast group is an arbitrary group of receivers that want to receive a particular data stream. This group has no physical or geographical boundaries--receivers can be located anywhere on the Internet or in any private network. Receivers that are interested in receiving data flowing to a particular group must join the group by signaling their local switch. This signaling is achieved with the MLD protocol. Switches use the MLD protocol to learn whether members of a group are present on their directly attached subnets. Hosts join multicast groups by sending MLD report messages. The network then delivers data to a potentially unlimited number of receivers, using only one copy of the multicast data on each subnet. IPv6 hosts that wish to receive the traffic are known as group members. Packets delivered to group members are identified by a single multicast group address. Multicast packets are delivered to a group using best-effort reliability, just like IPv6 unicast packets. The multicast environment consists of senders and receivers.

  • Introduction to IP Multicast Routing
    Introduction to IP Multicast Routing by Chuck Semeria and Tom Maufer Abstract The first part of this paper describes the benefits of multicasting, the Multicast Backbone (MBONE), Class D addressing, and the operation of the Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP). The second section explores a number of different algorithms that may potentially be employed by multicast routing protocols: - Flooding - Spanning Trees - Reverse Path Broadcasting (RPB) - Truncated Reverse Path Broadcasting (TRPB) - Reverse Path Multicasting (RPM) - Core-Based Trees The third part contains the main body of the paper. It describes how the previous algorithms are implemented in multicast routing protocols available today. - Distance Vector Multicast Routing Protocol (DVMRP) - Multicast OSPF (MOSPF) - Protocol-Independent Multicast (PIM) Introduction There are three fundamental types of IPv4 addresses: unicast, broadcast, and multicast. A unicast address is designed to transmit a packet to a single destination. A broadcast address is used to send a datagram to an entire subnetwork. A multicast address is designed to enable the delivery of datagrams to a set of hosts that have been configured as members of a multicast group in various scattered subnetworks. Multicasting is not connection oriented. A multicast datagram is delivered to destination group members with the same “best-effort” reliability as a standard unicast IP datagram. This means that a multicast datagram is not guaranteed to reach all members of the group, or arrive in the same order relative to the transmission of other packets. The only difference between a multicast IP packet and a unicast IP packet is the presence of a “group address” in the Destination Address field of the IP header.

  • Shortest Path Bridging IEEE 802.1Aq
    Shortest Path Bridging IEEE 802.1aq NANOG49 June 13-16/2010 Peter Ashwood-Smith Fellow [email protected] Abstract 802.1aq Shortest Path Bridging is being standardized by the IEEE as an evolution of the various spanning tree protocols. 802.1aq allows for true shortest path routing, multiple equal cost paths, much larger layer 2 topologies, faster convergence, vastly improved use of the mesh topology, single point provisioning for logical membership (E-LINE/E-LAN/E-TREE etc), abstraction of attached device MAC addresses from the transit devices, head end and/or transit multicast replication , all while supporting the full suit of 802.1 OA&M. 2 Outline • Challenges • What is 802.1aq/SPB • Applications • How does it work • Example (won’t cover but included here) 3 Challenges • L2 networks that scale to ~1000 bridges. • Use of arbitrary mesh topologies. • Use of (multiple) shortest paths. • Efficient broadcast/multicast routing and replication points. • Avoid address learning by tandem devices. • Get recovery times into 100’s of millisecond range for larger topologies. • Good scaling without loops. • Allow creation of very many logical L2 topologies (subnets) of arbitrary span. • Maintain all L2 properties within the logical L2 topologies (transparency, ordering, symmetry, congruence, shortest path etc). • Reuse all existing Ethernet OA&M 802.1ag/Y.1731 4 Example STP 36 nodes 1- Can’t use these links SOURCE ROOT A1..

  • IP Multicast
    Data Communication & Networks G22.2262-001 Session 10 - Main Theme IP Multicast Dr. Jean-Claude Franchitti New York University Computer Science Department Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences 1 Agenda Introduction to Multicast Multicast Addresses IP Multicast Reliable Multicast Pragmatic General Multicast (PGM) Reliable Multicast Protocol (RMP) Conclusion 2 Part I Introduction to Multicast 3 Cast Definitions Unicast - send to one destination (198.122.15.20) General Broadcast - send to EVERY local node (255.255.255.255) Directed Broadcast - send to subset of nodes on LAN (198.122.15.255) Multicast - send to every member of a Group of “interested” nodes (Class D address). RFC 1112 (an easy read!) 4 Why Multicast, Why Not Unicast? Unicast: Many applications require same message sent to many nodes (10, 100, 1000, n) Same message transits network n times. n messages requires n*(CPU time) as 1 message Need to deliver “timely” information. Message arrives at node n >> node 1 5 Why Multicast, Why Not Broadcast? Broadcast: Send a copy to every machine on the net Simple, but inefficient All nodes “must” process the packet even if they don’t care Wastes more CPU cycles of slower machines (“broadcast radiation”) General broadcast cannot be routed Directed broadcast is limited in scope (to machines on same sub-net or same domain) 6 Multicast Applications News/sports/stock/weather updates Software distribution Video-conferencing, shared whiteboards Distributed interactive gaming or simulations Email distribution lists Database replication 7 IP Multicast - Concepts Message sent to multicast “group” of receivers Senders need not be group members Each group has a “group address” Groups can have any size End-stations (receivers) can join/leave at will Data Packets are UDP (uh oh!) 8 IP Multicast Benefits Distribution tree for delivery/distribution of packets (i.e., scope extends beyond LAN) Tree is built by multicast routing protocols.
