Definitions
In the above diagram:
BGP is used for inter-autonomous system communication.
IGP is used for intra-autonomous system communication.
IGP can be any number of different protocols (RIP, OSPF, etc.)

Definitions
• There are many IGP protocols.
• The specific protocol a specific router
depends on
– The router manufacturer
» e.g. Cisco may have a proprietary protocol
that relies on a specific hardware
implementation.
– The generation of the router
» IGPs continued to be refined from router
generation to generation.

RIP
RIP (Routing Information Protocol)
originated in a variant of UNIX
– BSD standard UNIX
– Original incarnation was called routed
– RIP became widely used through the
distribution of 4BSD
– RIP was widely adopted as an IGP well
before a standard existed

RIP
• RIP is an application layer protocol.
• Therefore RIP uses well defined ports
for communication.
– Port 520
– This is a UDP port (e.g. send it and forget
it) as opposed to BGP using a TCP port
(guaranteed delivery)

RIP
RIP Operation
• Uses simple distance-vector routing
• Partitions participants into
– Active: advertises routes to other
participants
– Silent: only listen to routes. Do not
advertise route tables

RIP
Distance Vector Routing
• Each node knows the direct distance cost to
each of it’s neighbor nodes.
• Every node sends it’s distance vector table
to it’s neighbor nodes.
• When a node receives a distance vector
update, it will update it’s own distance
vector table with new information of cost
and next hops for all nodes in network.
• Send new information along.
• Repeat until no new information is added.

RIP
Distance Vector Routing - Formalized
– X : Source Node
– Y : Destination Node
– Z : Intermediate Node between X and Y
– Dx(Y,Z) : Distance at X from Y to Z
– c(X,Z) : Cost in Distance of the direct hop
from Y to Z

RIP – General Routing Idea
c(X,Z) = 3
X

Z
2
Y
Dx(Y,Z) = 2
Dx(Y,Z) = c(X,Z) + minw{Dz(Y,w)} The minw is taken over all the
distances given to Y in Z's route update (e.g. Z could have
multiple routes to Y).
When a packet needs to be sent from X to Y, X simply sends it to the route
is has computed as the shortest.

– The network address of the destination network.
– IP address of the next packet destination.
– The distance in hops to the ultimate destination.
– Different times for route aging.
– Possible conditional flags associated with the route.

topology of the
Intermediary
Network?
Note: Z will really never have a list of routes to Y through the intermediary
network. It will maintain “it’s” shortest route information. Backward
propagation of shortest route information will select the “min”.

RIP
• RIP uses “hop count” as the metric to
measure distance.
– Fewer hops may not result in the shortest
latency.
• Active routers broadcast route update every
30 seconds.
• A Route will only stay active for 180
seconds.
– Stale routes (e.g. haven’t been updated in 180
seconds) will be removed from the routing
table.
5/25/2017

14
RIP
• RIP defines a maximum hop count for
a valid route to be 16.
– This helps avoid the propagation of
circular routes.

RIP
Slow convergence
occurs because route
updates take a time to
propagate across the
network.

OSPF
Open Shortest Path First
OSPF uses a different algorithm to perform
routing decisions.
OSPF working group was organized in
1988 because RIP had several
shortcomings when dealing with interior
routing in a large heterogeneous network.

OSPF
• Based on Bolt, Beranek, and Newman's
(BBN's) SPF algorithm developed in 1978
for the ARPANET.
• Unlike RIP, OSPF can operate within a
hierarchy.
– The largest entity within the hierarchy is the
autonomous system (AS).
– OSPF is an intra-AS (interior gateway) routing
protocol, capable of receiving routes from and
sending routes to other ASs.

OSPF
• Autonomous Systems
are broken down into
Areas.
• Areas communicate
through Area Border
Routers.
• The backbone network
connects areas together.
• A Area Border Router
maintains topological
information about
networks it is in charge
of bridging.

OSPF – Shortest Path
Shortest path from R5 to R3.
To do this, we will use the
“greedy method”
developed by Dijkstra.
Basically:
1. Start at the destination.
2. Choose the shortest path
back
3. traverse to that vertex.
4. Repeat until the source is
reached.

OSPF – Shortest Path
• The algorithm described above is a
simplified version of Dijkstras
algorithm.
• The BBN algorithm is a further
refinement dealing with path priority.
• BBN is based on a graph structure and
a tree structure.

29
OSPF – Shortest Path
• To effect this shortest path calculation
– Each Area Border Router must maintain
information related to it’s managed area
topology.
– As routers adjust routes, the new information is
exchanged with neighbor routers.
– When new information arrives, the routers must
re-calculate their shortest path tables.

Hello—Establishes and maintains neighbor relationships. Value - 1
Database description—Describes the contents of the topological database. These messages are
exchanged when an adjacency is initialized. Value - 2
Link-state request—Requests pieces of the topological database from neighbor routers. These
messages are exchanged after a router discovers (by examining database-description packets) that
parts of its topological database are outdated. Value - 3
Link-state update—Responds to a link-state request packet. These messages also are used for the
regular dispersal of LSAs. Several LSAs can be included within a single link-state update packet.
Value - 4
Link-state acknowledgment—Acknowledges link-state update packets. Value - 5
