IP is an unreliable and connectionless datagram protocol—a best-effort delivery service. If reliability is important, IP must be paired with a reliable protocol such as TCP. TCP/IP Protocol Suite 4 7-1 INTRODUCTION IP is also a connectionless protocol for a packet switching network that uses the datagram approach. Each datagram is handled independently. Each datagram can follow a different route to the destination. TCP/IP Protocol Suite 5 Topics Discussed in the Section Relationship of IP to the rest of the TCP/IP Suite TCP/IP Protocol Suite 6 Figure 7.1 TCP/IP Protocol Suite Position of IP in TCP/IP protocol suite 7 7-2 DATAGRAMS Packets in the network (internet) layer are called datagrams. A datagram is a variable-length packet consisting of two parts: header and data. Header is 20 to 60 bytes in length and contains information essential to routing and delivery. TCP/IP Protocol Suite 8 Topics Discussed in the Section Format of the datagram packet Some examples TCP/IP Protocol Suite 9 Figure 7.2 TCP/IP Protocol Suite IP datagram 10 Version (VER): defines the version of the IP protocol (version 4). Header length (HLEN): defines the total length of the datagram header in 4-byte words. When there are no options, the header length is 20 bytes, and the value of this field is 5 (5×4=20). When the option field is at its maximum size, the value of this field is 15 (15×4=60). TCP/IP Protocol Suite 11 Service type. Originally, this field was referred to as type of service (TOS). Part of the field was used to define the precedence of the datagram; the rest defined the type of service (low delay, high throughput, and so on). IETF has changed the interpretation of this 8-bit field. It now defines a set of differentiated services. TCP/IP Protocol Suite 12 The first 6 bits make up the codepoint subfield and the last 2 bits are not used. The codepoint subfield can be used in two different ways. When the 3 right-most bits are 0s, the 3 left-most bits are interpreted the same as the precedence bits in the service type interpretation. The precedence defines the eight-level priority of the datagram (0 to 7) in issues such as congestion. TCP/IP Protocol Suite 13 Figure 7.3 x Service type x x 0 0 Precedence interpretation 0 x x x x x 0 x x x x 1 1 x TCP/IP Protocol Suite x x x 0 1 Differential service interpretation 14 When the 3 right-most bits are not all 0s, the 6 bits define 56 (64 − 8) services based on the priority assignment by the Internet or local authorities. The first category contains 24 service types; the second and the third each contain 16. TCP/IP Protocol Suite 15 TCP/IP Protocol Suite 16 Total length. 16-bit field. It defines the total length (header plus data) of the IP datagram in bytes. To find the length of the data coming from the upper layer . . . Length of data = total length − header length TCP/IP Protocol Suite 17 Note The total length field defines the total length of the datagram including the header. TCP/IP Protocol Suite 18 The total length of the IP datagram is limited to 65,535 (216 − 1) bytes. Some physical networks are not able to encapsulate a datagram of 65,535 bytes in their frames. Hence, fragmentation. The total length field is used in a few cases -occasions in which the datagram is not the only thing encapsulated in a frame; -it may be that padding has been added. TCP/IP Protocol Suite 19 Figure 7.4 TCP/IP Protocol Suite Encapsulation of a small datagram in an Ethernet frame 20 These fields are used in fragmentation Identification. Flags. Fragmentation offset. TCP/IP Protocol Suite 21 Time to live. This field was originally designed to hold a timestamp, which was decremented by each visited router. Today, this field is used to control the maximum number of hops (routers) visited by the datagram. TCP/IP Protocol Suite 22 A datagram may travel between two or more routers for a long time without ever getting delivered to the destination host. Another use: intentionally limit the journey of the packet. TCP/IP Protocol Suite 23 Protocol. This 8-bit field defines the higher-level protocol such as TCP, UDP, ICMP, and IGMP that uses the services of the IP layer. TCP/IP Protocol Suite 24 Figure 7.5 TCP/IP Protocol Suite Multiplexing 25 TCP/IP Protocol Suite 26 Checksum. Source address. Destination address. TCP/IP Protocol Suite 27 Example 7.1 An IP packet has arrived with the first 8 bits as shown: The receiver discards the packet. Why? Solution There is an error in this packet. The 4 left-most bits (0100) show the version, which is correct. The next 4 bits (0010) show the wrong header length (2 × 4 = 8). The minimum number of bytes in the header must be 20. The packet has been corrupted in transmission. TCP/IP Protocol Suite 28 Example 7.2 In an IP packet, the value of HLEN is 1000 in binary. How many bytes of options are being carried by this packet? Solution The HLEN value is 8, which means the total number of bytes in the header is 8 × 4 or 32 bytes. The first 20 bytes are the base header, the next 12 bytes are the options. TCP/IP Protocol Suite 29 Example 7.3 In an IP packet, the value of HLEN is 516 and the value of the total length field is 002816. How many bytes of data are being carried by this packet? Solution The HLEN value is 5, which means the total number of bytes in the header is 5 × 4 or 20 bytes (no options). The total length is 40 bytes, which means the packet is carrying 20 bytes of data (40 − 20). TCP/IP Protocol Suite 30 Example 7.4 An IP packet has arrived with the first few hexadecimal digits as shown below: How many hops can this packet travel before being dropped? The data belong to what upper layer protocol? Solution To find the time-to-live field, we skip 8 bytes (16 hexadecimal digits). The time-to-live field is the ninth byte, which is 01. This means the packet can travel only one hop. The protocol field is the next byte (02), which means that the upper layer protocol is IGMP TCP/IP Protocol Suite 31 7-3 FRAGMENTATION A datagram can travel through different networks. Each router decapsulates the IP datagram from the frame it receives, processes it, and then encapsulates it in another frame. The format and size of the received frame depend on the protocol used by the physical network through which the frame has just traveled. The format and size of the sent frame depend on the protocol used by the physical network through which the frame is going to travel. TCP/IP Protocol Suite 32 Topics Discussed in the Section Maximum Transfer Unit (MTU) Fields Related to Fragmentation TCP/IP Protocol Suite 33 Maximum Transfer Unit One of the fields defined in the frame format is the maximum size of the data field TCP/IP Protocol Suite 34 Figure 7.6 MTU IP datagram Header TCP/IP Protocol Suite MTU Maximum length of data that can be encapsulated in a frame Frame Trailer 35 The value of the MTU differs from 1 physical network to another. To make the IP protocol independent of the physical network, the maximum length of the IP datagram was made = 65,535 bytes TCP/IP Protocol Suite 36 Fragmentation Each fragment has its own header … Fragmentation done by … Reassembly … TCP/IP Protocol Suite 37 Note Only data in a datagram is fragmented. TCP/IP Protocol Suite 38 Fields related to Fragmentation Identification Flags TCP/IP Protocol Suite 39 Figure 7.7 TCP/IP Protocol Suite Flags field 40 Fragmentation offset 13 bit field shows the relative position of this fragment w.r.t. the whole datagram. It is the offset of the data in the original datagram measured in units of 8 bytes TCP/IP Protocol Suite 41 Figure 7.8 Fragmentation example Offset = 0000/8 = 0 0000 1399 Offset = 1400/8 = 175 1400 2799 Offset = 2800/8 = 350 2800 TCP/IP Protocol Suite 3999 42 Figure 7.9 Detailed fragmentation example 14,567 1420 1 000 Bytes 0000–1399 14,567 4020 0 000 Original datagram 1 820 175 Fragment 1 14,567 Bytes 0000–3999 14,567 1420 1 175 Bytes 1400–2199 Fragment 2.1 Bytes 1400–2799 Fragment 2 14,567 1220 0 350 Bytes 2800–3999 Fragment 3 TCP/IP Protocol Suite 43 Strategy for reassembly TCP/IP Protocol Suite 44 Example 7.5 A packet has arrived with an M bit value of 0. Is this the first fragment, the last fragment, or a middle fragment? Do we know if the packet was fragmented? TCP/IP Protocol Suite 45 Example 7.5 A packet has arrived with an M bit value of 0. Is this the first fragment, the last fragment, or a middle fragment? Do we know if the packet was fragmented? Solution If the M bit is 0, it means that there are no more fragments; the fragment is the last one. However, we cannot say if the original packet was fragmented or not. A nonfragmented packet is considered the last fragment. TCP/IP Protocol Suite 46 Example 7.6 A packet has arrived with an M bit value of 1. Is this the first fragment, the last fragment, or a middle fragment? Do we know if the packet was fragmented? Solution If the M bit is 1, it means that there is at least one more fragment. This fragment can be the first one or a middle one, but not the last one. We don’t know if it is the first one or a middle one; we need more information (the value of the fragmentation offset). TCP/IP Protocol Suite 47 Example 7.7 A packet has arrived with an M bit value of 1 and a fragmentation offset value of zero. Is this the first fragment, the last fragment, or a middle fragment? Solution Because the M bit is 1, it is either the first fragment or a middle one. Because the offset value is 0, it is the first fragment. TCP/IP Protocol Suite 48 Example 7.8 A packet has arrived in which the offset value is 100. What is the number of the first byte? Do we know the number of the last byte? Solution To find the number of the first byte, we multiply the offset value by 8. This means that the first byte number is 800. We cannot determine the number of the last byte unless we know the length of the data. TCP/IP Protocol Suite 49 Example 7.9 A packet has arrived in which the offset value is 100, the value of HLEN is 5 and the value of the total length field is 100. What is the number of the first byte and the last byte? TCP/IP Protocol Suite 50 Example 7.9 A packet has arrived in which the offset value is 100, the value of HLEN is 5 and the value of the total length field is 100. What is the number of the first byte and the last byte? Solution The first byte number is 100 × 8 = 800. The total length is 100 bytes and the header length is 20 bytes (5 × 4), which means that there are 80 bytes in this datagram. If the first byte number is 800, the last byte number must be 879. TCP/IP Protocol Suite 51 7-4 OPTIONS The header of the IP datagram is made of two parts: a fixed part and a variable part. The fixed part is 20 bytes long and was discussed in the previous section. The variable part comprises the options, which can be a maximum of 40 bytes. Options, as the name implies, are not required for a datagram. They can be used for network testing and debugging. Although options are not a required part of the IP header, option processing is required of the IP software.

Record route: type is 00000111; not copied. d. Strict source route: type is 10001001; copied. e. Loose source route: type is 10000011; copied. f. Timestamp: type is 01000100; not copied. TCP/IP Protocol Suite 70 Example 7.11 Which of the six options are used for datagram control and which for debugging and managements? Solution We look at the second and third (left-most) bits of the type. a. No operation: type is 00000001; datagram control. b. End of option: type is 00000000; datagram control. c. Record route: type is 00000111; datagram control. d. Strict source route: type is 10001001; datagram control. e. Loose source route: type is 10000011; datagram control. f. Timestamp: type is 01000100; debugging and management control. TCP/IP Protocol Suite 71 Example 7.12 One of the utilities available in UNIX to check the traveling of the IP packets is ping. The program ping is used to see if a host is available. We ping a server at De Anza College named fhda.edu. The result shows that the IP address of the host is 153.18.8.1. The result also shows the number of bytes used. TCP/IP Protocol Suite 72 Example 7.13 We can also use the ping utility with the -R option to implement the record route option. The result shows the interfaces and IP addresses. TCP/IP Protocol Suite 73 Example 7.14 The traceroute utility can also be used to keep track of the route of a packet. The result shows the three routers visited. TCP/IP Protocol Suite 74 Example 7.15 The traceroute program can be used to implement loose source routing. The -g option allows us to define the routers to be visited, from the source to destination. The following shows how we can send a packet to the fhda.edu server with the requirement that the packet visit the router 153.18.251.4. TCP/IP Protocol Suite 75 Example 7.16 The traceroute program can also be used to implement strict source routing. The -G option forces the packet to visit the routers defined in the command line. The following shows how we can send a packet to the fhda.edu server and force the packet to visit only the router 153.18.251.4. TCP/IP Protocol Suite 76 7-5 CHECKSUM The error detection method used by most TCP/IP protocols is called the checksum. The checksum protects against the corruption that may occur during the transmission of a packet. It is redundant information added to the packet. The checksum is calculated at the sender and the value obtained is sent with the packet. The receiver repeats the same calculation on the whole packet including the checksum. If the result is satisfactory, the packet is accepted; otherwise, it is rejected.

TCP/IP Protocol Suite 84 Example 7.17 Figure 7.24 shows an example of a checksum calculation at the sender site for an IP header without options. The header is divided into 16-bit sections. All the sections are added and the sum is complemented. The result is inserted in the checksum field.

The header is divided into 16-bit sections. All the sections are added and the sum is complemented. Since the result is 16 0s, the packet is accepted.

TCP/IP Protocol Suite 89 7-6 IP OVER ATM In the previous sections, we assumed that the underlying networks over which the IP datagrams are moving are either LANs or point-to-point WANs. In this section, we want to see how an IP datagram is moving through a switched WAN such as an ATM. We will see that there are similarities as well as differences. The IP packet is encapsulated in cells (not just one). An ATM network has its own definition for the physical address of a device. Binding between an IP address and a physical address is attained through a protocol called ATMARP. TCP/IP Protocol Suite 90 Topics Discussed in the Section ATM WANs Routing the Cells TCP/IP Protocol Suite 91 Figure 7.26 TCP/IP Protocol Suite An ATM WAN in the Internet 92 Note The AAL layer used by the IP protocol is AAL5.

No security was provided for the IPv4 protocol. Today, however, the situation is different; the Internet is not secure any more. Although we discuss network security in general and IP security in particular in Chapters 29 and 30, we give a brief idea about the security issues in IP protocol and the solution. TCP/IP Protocol Suite 96 Topics Discussed in the Section Security Issues IPSec TCP/IP Protocol Suite 97 7-8 IP PACKAGE In this section, we present a simplified example of a hypothetical IP package.
