Protocols for Inter-network
• TCP/IP protocol suite
– TCP /UDP – layer 4 – Transport layer
– IP network layer
• Forward packets from network to network
• Unique address which is globally recognized
– Why not MAC/Physical addresses
• Routing ( algorithms, decisions, tables )
Internet Protocol - Goals
• Single seamless communication
• Physical network details to be hidden from
applications
– Hardware details
– Software details
• Addressing mechanism to locate the
network/machine (independent of
MAC/Phy address)
Internet Protocol Goals
• Based on the location of the network –
forward the packets
• For this purpose use – routing algorithms
and tables
Solution – IP functions
• Provide an addressing mechanism
– IP addresses
• IP layer ( network layer) to provide Routing
and forwarding mechanisms
• Is not Reliable – No guarantees
• Best Effort Delivery
IP Address
• 32 bits or 4 bytes
• Each byte – 255 decimal – FF (hex)
• Typical address 129.21.21.3
– Dotted quad, dotted decimal
• Two parts –
– Network id – locates the network – used in
routing
– Host id – identifies the host in the network
Classes of IP address
• Class A
– Network id is in 1st byte, host id in the rest 3
• Class B
– Network id is in first two bytes, host id in the last 2
• Class C
– Network id is in the first three bytes, host id in the last
byte
• Class D and E – special cases

Network Mask
The network mask (subnet mask)
where there are 1’s indicates the network ID
where there are 0’s indicates the host ID
Examples
for a class A address: 255.0.0.0
for a class B address: 255.255.0.0
for a class C address: 255.255.255.0

Fragmentation in IP
• Identification
– used to determine which fragments belong to each other
• Flag
– D flag =0– data may be fragmented
– =1 data may not be fragmented
• Fragment offset
– indicates where a fragment belongs in the complete
message – measured in octets
